How i was traumatised?
Parents caught my phone texting boys from like world. And they like took away my phone and also like scolded me and all and i was traumatised. I got split personality disorder. I developed anxiety and adhd and i became child like and i still am and then like i splitted right in front of my own eyes. And i have never been the same in my life. Talents gone. Weaknesses increased. Poor brain. Low functioning. Omg it was bad. I still am traumatised to talk to boys. I cant mention them. I cant see them i cant talk to them. I wish things and i became normal. I would be able to live a normal life.
I was traumatise by birth of my brother. Parents neglected me. And i had to become my brothers second mom at 4. For real. From thhere comes attachment disorder. Person will leave me for sure if not now then later attitude. Mommy of friend group behaviour. I just cant slow down. I have never been nourished and made me feel protected or supported. Its always been me independent me. Nobody protected me and i have this innate fear that i need to learn all 500skills of life coz nobody is going to protect me.
Also i m unconventionally ugly or not attractive. So i just cant rely on boys to protect me in any occassion. As simple as going to a restaurant which is bit far away from city. Or like in a group setting at college at odd times. Or on trips to other cities. They will save or protect the pretty girl but not me. Hence i gotta learn to run and fight and be muscle strong and flexible like ballerina and have weapons of my own. Or whatever. Constant phone in hand. Also aware of surroundings 30x10 not just 24x7. Etcetc
Not rewarding me for getting into med school.
I worked sooo hard all my life for yearrrssss. Like 8years of my 18years life. To get into med school and i got it with scholarship. So i have no debts nothing. Almost linda free. And my parents did no celebration whatsoever. I m not sure why. Maybe theu forgot or maybe they thought its no big deal coz they actually thought it was no big deal till my 2nd year. Idk. They did not. And i m and was so mad. And problem is this was 5 years ago yet i cant forget it forgive it. Coz it affected me for years. I was so distirbed and depressed and got internet addiction due to it and i lost so mant chances to show my potential and unfortunatly it stull affects me.
I just cant forgive my parents for it
It was soooo depressing. No support no talk no party only scolding. I hate it i still hate it that due to that i lost so many good things ans its affecting me till today.
I dont want it to affect anything any longer
Imma try to change my life amysemf and get myself satisfied by myself
What else
Idk i cant remeber
I wish i was this passionate about good things of my life too

I have cptsd and was dx in my early/mid 30s with ADHD and now possibly asd. Looking back at my childhood I remember my report cards from the middle of elementary school through middle school my teacher(s) would write, Has trouble staying on task/focused, or has trouble concentrating, and I remember my mom saying, Nora, stay on task! while I performed various chores or homework. Being messy but needing structure and order were also big things, and still are.
I was also a premie baby and while I was only in the nicu for six weeks I wasn't held by hardly anyone. My parents didn't get to hold me until 3 days after I was born, and my mom told Dad to hold me first even though it was Mother's day. I think she had post pardom depression. Both pairs of grandparents came over to help in the early days, before I was home, but they weren't really any help with childcare of my 17 mo old sister, which is what she really needed, so my mom didn't get much chance to drive a city over to see and hold me. We now know how important skin to skin contact is for bonding, and in premies to help regulate their autonomic functions like breathing and heart rate. Being kept from the mother in those first few weeks causes babies to develop anxiety later in life (a study on mice anyway. I wasn't even held much until I was about a year old and had caught up in size and weight to my peers due to home monitoring etc. That's info given by both parents. I'm sure that the lack of contact probably caused some problems with me. Plus my mom wasn't happy to be pregnant with me before my sister was two and out of diapers. So possibly in utero trauma as well?
It's complicated.

I have adhd. I dont think child hood, or any trauma, could cause adhd. Ive always had adhd, i was born with it, there were no complications of any kind with my moms pregnancy, it runs in the family. Its important to not look at things like that and jump to conclusions. Adhd and trauma are coorolated but that doesnt mean trauma causes adhd. While it is plausible that pregnancy related trauma may cause adhd its important not to think of adhd as an issue or mental illness. Adhd and trauma are correlated because if you have adhd you are more likely to have trauma, not the other way around. If you have adhd you can be targeted for its symptoms as well as being more gullible to excuses and much more. Its been long recognized that trauma can worsen the symptoms of adhd, therefore making it diagnosable or just plain more difficult to handle. Adhd is very complicated. The only childhood trauma I experienced was because of my adhd and how people treated me for it (i was undiagnosed, worsening my symptoms. Adhd causes things, things dont cause adhd. There is clearly something that makes it happen but not after you were born.
1. Symptoms may have worsened due to trauma making it diagnosable. (We are chronically under diagnosed)
2. Trauma is often caused by the symptoms of adhd.
3. Adhd is correlated to other forms of neurodivergence.
4. Something that fits the criteria for adhd may be happening and we need a new for for it as well as more research.
5. Take things like this whith a grain of salt they are often miss proven, rebuked, and result in misinformation.

My family members used my adhd to treat me like trash. All because I am darker than everybody around me, my relatives often make fun of me for my physical appearance and all my parents do is just point at my mouth and berate me FIX YOUR ATTITUDE! Then my relatives are laughing over me getting yelled at because of them. My adhd had been an advantage for my family to treat me like trash. My adhd has been an excuse for my family members to treat me like a child in public places (as a teenager) to show that I am treated well because of the comfortable life that I am living in but what happens behind closed doors is way different than what they show the public. They (my parents) see my adhd as an advantage for them to gaslight me whenever I remind them of everything they said to me or everything they did to me. They victimize themselves to make me the bad person and vilify me in order to make people believe that my family members fight me because of my attitude when the real reason why my family members fight me is because of the fact that they want to fight someone at home and laugh their asses out of making fun of someone just for their own pleasures.

Hey.
Have you been spying on me cause this is my childhood story. I was extremely abused in everyway by my father. He beat me, burned me, cut me, touched me and made me touch him places that a daughter shouldn't. At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD but my parents couldn't have that because in public I was the Golden Child and so I was never treated. Now as an adult I've started trying to heal my mind and heart by seeing a therapist. He has diagnosed me with CPTSD and PTSD due my ongoing abusive parents and SA/Rape at gun point when I was 13. I have combined ADHD and OCD-Compulsive that again I've been diagnosed with and now I'm waiting to see a psychologist to dive further into my mental health and get a head CT to verify any brain damage from abuse.
Needless to say I've intentionally orphaned myself and do not talk to my parents and some days that makes me so sad but my father will never touch me again. and my mother doesnt have to defend him too me anymore as she chose him over her daughter and made it clear that's who came first in her heart.

It's hard to explain but for example I am playing a game and I get past through an item I know I don't need it so I tell it to my mind but still I go back to that place and collect that item just like that in real life if I am in a hurry to go out and I see a photo frame tilted or anything out of the place I will tell my mind there's no need to arrange it now and I'll lock the door but then I'll unlock the door and arrange it because I know my mind is going to only think that man I should have arranged it it couldn't have taken much time. And same like that whenever my mom goes out I never forget to say bye and make sure to be careful to her because I get scared that what if something will happen to her. And I think its because I lost my father 3 years ago and i have seen a lot of family drama since i was a child and I have no friends currently and my bestie left me.

I know someone with ADHD and they definitely did not get along very well with their parents, which showed in their random impulsiveness and energy, where you cant get a word in edgeways.
She found a compassionate but yet overtly submissive guy that treated her well and they eventually got married, settled down, adopted a couple of cats and eventually got to meet me!
But, the guy in the relationship got frustrated with her frustrations that i picked up on VERY quickly, and unfortunately theyre now both divorced.
But this story has a happy ending. I managed to find him another girl, and hes already feeling better!
As for the ADHD sufferer, me and her still keep in touch, even if its long distance.

Im not convinced by the 17% figure. Isnt that close to the standard rate in the general population? The environmental factors caused by genetically passed down ADHD make it more likely you will experience traumatic events so that figure isnt really proof of anything. Also I think its dangerous to blame physical health conditions on mental causes, as it can affect how doctors treat you. I know from personal experience how hard it is to get proper care when you have a physical illness that was misdiagnosed as a mental one. I also have ADHD, so Im wary of anything that might make me look less credible and I think this is one of those things.

ADHD can definitely show up as an adult! I had a traumatic event & went undiagnosed with PTSD. I knew something was wrong, I just didnt know what because I wasnt very familiar with PTSD, I felt like I was basically in a long term state of shock. Then the ADHD kicked in. I could barely read a sentence, when before, I had been an avid reader. I ran out of gas because, well I just couldnt think to do it. I forget to get my car inspected, I never did that in 20 years! And the list goes onunfortunately at this time I was also a single mother.
I am so grateful I am much better now & also grateful to the person who told me I had PTSD.

Being differently wired leads to a specific kind of trauma (experience of being excluded, targeted, critised, gaslit, overlooked etc. Because you seem or behave weird or you not fit in, so the coincidence of innate neurodivergence and trauma is much more difficult to untagle.
Because of general tendency to target or overlook needs of those, whos brain functions in a different way, it is nearly impossible to be born neurodivergent and to have no trauma or ACE at all!
I want also point this out, because this kind of connection between neurodivergence and trauma is often overlooked.

Imma be honest, while Im about to start my career, Ive been wasting my life since HS. And also I have ADHD and not very motivated meaning it took me forever to get through school. I learned a trade, dropped out of college as u know. But yeah Im slow, I usually always get headaches when a lot of information is thrown at me suddenly, I know a lot of paper work is easy and straight forward but my adhd and low motivation makes it hard for me, I know its pathetic but thats me I guess. I like working but I dont like learning new skills.

If it's the result of trauma, then all these symptoms are called PTSD, or cptsd. Which needs a very different treatment method. Like, meditation, talk therapy, biofeedback. I feel like a lot of these disorders, or mental illnesses are just normal human responses that the pharmaceutical companies tell doctors to prescribe useless medicine for. I would encourage everyone to try all the other methods first before going the medication route. Most times you won't need the medicine.

I was also wondering if you could do a video on Kawasaki disease and how if you get frontal lobe damage, how it affects adhd and other disorders
I was 4 mnths old when I had KD, which led me to get brain damage to my frontal lobe cortex, also the fact I was born with ADHD, basically makes my symptoms even more of a combination of ADHD and Autism, basically ADHD x2 w/ Autistic tendencys, sorry I have a hard to explaining it sometimes

At 45 yrs old, I have recently come to realise that I suffer from ADHD and I too had a traumatic childhood. From when I was around the age of 5/6, my sister became ill, paralysed, had multiple tumours and brain surgeries and died when I was 22. Ive always known I was wired differently, and it comes as a little relief to be able to put a name to the reason why. Hopefully, I can now navigate my way through this.

The link between trauma and ADHD is (most likely) personality disorders. There is a unusually high comorbidity rate between ADHD and personality disorders. Additionally, ADHD often impacts the partner selection process, making those individuals more susceptible to narcissistic abuse, which can lead to very difficult situations for children. This thing results in the cycle, repeating itself.

I believe Childhood Trauma leading to CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is the main diagnosis for most people with mental health disorders. I feel that if you look at any other mental health disorder and compare those symptoms to the symptoms of CPTSD, most of the symptoms are covered by those of CPTSD.
Early trauma really messes up a lot of lives

My adoptive parents dont think I could have much trauma from fostering and adoption because of being 1 when I first started to live with them and 6 when I got to stay permanently and be adopted. I dont remember actual memories until I was 6 either. A lot of what I tried to remember was incorrect and I couldnt find what was a real memory or a dream I had as a child.

Im curious about the causal direction. Does trauma cause ADHD in adults or are folks with ADHD more likely to have traumatic experiences as children (I mean imagine being undiagnosed ADHD as a kid and having to struggle through school and being treated like an idiot? Thats traumatic AF for a person. So I just wonder about the directionality.

This video really hits close to home. I've had a very turbulent childhood, a series of traumatic experiences while growing up due to my living environment. Have also observed several ADHD symptoms being present, and had therapists agree with that assessment when I explain my struggles. Just urges me to seek an official diagnosis all the more.

I just abstain from all stimulation, anything that can alter my emotions, like exciting books or movies or exciting music or social situations where i would get distressed. This is the only thing that seems to help. Its difficult to live like this, but at least i can be a normal person this way.

It's one of those things that seem kinda obvious now that you think of it,
My grandmother was always abusive to me because of my forgetful tendencies and my inability to concentrate and now i hate her even though I've tried to throw the burden of pain away i still hate her,
