  Me sitting here with my laptop on my lap, phone in my hand, watching this on the TV and getting frustrated with myself because I have to rewind it 5x because I missed some important parts 😫.

  When I was 45, my Pre-teen got diagnosed with ADHD, which completely made me understand my whole life.

  Wow, I wish I could sit down with you and discuss this topic. &nbsp;You&apos;re (obviously) a high IQ person dealing with ADHD. &nbsp;I&apos;m a nuclear physicist with ADHD and I&apos;ve noticed people are always wary of those with high IQ&apos;s. &nbsp;If you&apos;re talented in any other way, people admire you, however, if you&apos;re smart people automatically assume you&apos;re arrogant. &nbsp;My experience is those with the highest IQ&apos;s are usually the most humble. &nbsp;I mention this because I believe a high IQ only exacerbates ADHD symptoms and the negative self talk especially. &nbsp;Imagine knowing you&apos;re really smart, yet you can&apos;t accomplish anything and don&apos;t understand why. &nbsp;The negative self talk ramps up exponentially. &nbsp;Mel, you are a true gift and I&apos;ve learned a lot from you. &nbsp;I look up to you for the way you&apos;ve become successful, in spite of ADHD. &nbsp;Maybe you would consider doing an episode on the struggles the gifted have with this disorder? &nbsp;People assume if you&apos;re gifted, life is automatically a bowl of cherries for you, it&apos;s not. &nbsp;I believe with ADHD struggles are even greater for those of us that want to do good things and use our gift to better humanity, as you have. &nbsp;You&apos;ve found the formula and I admire and applaud you for it. &nbsp;Please keep up the good workQ

  This makes me feel so understood. My internal dialogue has always been what a shitty excuse for a human I am.

  I&apos;m 62 and feel like my life has passed me by. I&apos;ve always been overwhelmed with worrying about failing or that I wasn&apos;t good enough or they don&apos;t want me anyway so why bother, I&apos;ll just be making a fool of myself. But I never understood why I felt this way. Or why these feelings were so strong that it would feel like I was frozen and couldn&apos;t move. I haven&apos;t been diagnosed with ADHD but it&apos;s been brought to attention that I might want to look into it. And after seeing this I can see why. Thank you for sharing this.
