Do you ever get to a point of just thinking "Nobody knows actually any thing and none of this even matters , we're screwed"
That just happened for me.
I'm so tired.

I just want to say that the people that actually “recover” from a childhood diagnosis of ADHD were misdiagnosed as a child. You don’t grow out of ADHD, you can figure out how to mask it or cope with it enough to pass, but we will always have ADHD. You can’t just become Neurotypical if you are Neurodivergent..

Quite honestly the overlap between all these mental health disorders makes me think just how much misdiagnosis occurs and diagnosis of many mental health disorders serves no benefit to the sufferer. Emotional dysregulation is a symptom of ADHD and borderline personality. Difficulty concentrating is a symptom of ADHD and depression. Fear of rejection and negative thoughts about yourself are a symptom of ADHD (Rejection sensitive dysphoria) and social anxiety. Asperger syndrome and ADHD both involve difficulty relating to other people and not fitting in right.

I don't have a hard time getting along with others, i have a hard time getting along with myself

something i've found that really sucks is that while treatments like DBT have helped me become "quiet", that really only means that my BPD barely affects anyone else. i still struggle and suffer a lot inside, and it feels like treatment had just been geared to make me beneficial to others. which is great and something i guess, but i wish it weren't talked about like things are good now, because they're absolutely not. they're just good for everyone else around me.

The idea of “everyone being on the spectrum of adhd at some point in their lives” is horrible coming from professionals...come on yes these are human behaviors but it’s about the fact that they cause serious problems in our lives if we actually have adhd

they lost me at the "recover from ADHD"

I think I never accepted my BPD diagnosis until recently because the BPD people I knew were suicidal, drug users, extremely angry and volatile. My traits are just more around fear of abandonment, identity issues, and anger, but I've learned to mask my symptoms for the most part to avoid abandonment.

I think unidentified, untreated adhd as a child does not only turn to adult adhd but it is also highly likely to turn into BPD and the Dr. clearly explained one of the reason why, the trauma of rejection. I think it can hit harder on people who are naturally extroverts than introverts and not being able to be yourself around people because of your ADHD/BPD, the anxiety the you always carry within its extremely painful and exhausting and I think a teen or young adult ends up turning the anger inward or hating themselves for not being able to be themselves.

I'm pretty sure i went from having normal borderline personality disorder to having quiet borderline personality disorder over the years. I used to lash out at people and was very toxic but now all of that toxicity is mostly aimed at myself through hurting myself or talking negatively about myself.

I feel like videos like these start to show how psychology still barely knows anything - esp with diagnosing... I wish we'd stop treating it like we know everything when it's still such a relatively new science and very little is known. We'd come a lot farther in treating and diagnosing mental health issues if professionals came from the stand point of not having it all figured out

11:00 Finally I hear something about peers and bullies causing trauma. They always talk about parents being the source of the trauma.

I have been diagnosed with BPD and ADHD. I always resonated with Quiet BPD more than the DSM criteria of BPD.

So relieving to finally be heard.

not me just realizing that being constantly ignored and excluded from peers when i was younger can be considered trauma, god i love mu adhd

Here's a question - adhd or anxiety and depression? It seems like there's so much overlap. Both depression and anxiety can make it difficult to concentrate, stay organised, start and finish projects, daydreaming, fidgeting etc.

As someone who has been tossed both of these diagnoses, I'm very curious about this one.

Now Im confused if I have bpd, adhd or cptsd because I am victim of narcissistic abuse
