As an AuDHD person, the college dropout story is relatable to me, except for the YouTube career success. I grew up in a madhouse during my traumatic childhood, and going to college free from my backwards, overprotective, overly strict parents was essentially like falling off a cliff. I was already burnt out during my last year of high school, and I was too excited with the freedom and ended up wasting time playing video games and skipping classes regularly because I had little energy to function as an adult. I still struggle with burnout to this day due to being an overworked IT contractor for years.

    The ADHD content creation seems extremely on brand. An overwhelming amount of famous creators have ADHD because the chaos, creativity, and rapidly changing pace plays very well into the symptoms of the disorder. Same with other chaotic professions.

    have you tried content creation? I’m audhd, friend out, and have had mild success with social media. I had an animal page on Facebook that I’ve gotten up to 150k, I’ve got around 100K on tiktok atm

      I’m going back to online college next year to do electrical engineering as that has been my passion for a long time and I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to do so (thanks mom and spouse <3). I have wanted to do some content creation for a while, but I am super busy working full time and doing a lot of party work. I would love to make a commie techie channel/website/etc., but it won’t probably be sufficient for an income for a long while, if it ever even reaches that point. I would honestly prefer to do it as a hobby and not have the fun sucked out of it by turning it into a job.

      I currently have to build my computers that I have bought most of the parts for; research, buy, and install the rest of the parts; and install Gentoo Linux on each with a configuration I have been difficulty getting to boot correctly for months on a laptop. I am trying to do a unified (custom and heavily minimalized) kernel image with a full-disk encrypted btrfs partition, and for some reason it cannot boot the btrfs subvolumes correctly (perhaps because I made each important directory in the Linux filesystem hierarchy its own subvolume?). The btrfs partition became corrupted due to either power loss from an electrical blackout or from the Gentoo live media crashing every now and then for some reason, so I lost all of my progress, but thankfully I made a lot of notes to redo everything quickly.

      Anyway, there’s a lot of tasks I have to do beforehand before I am ready to attempt content creation. However, I know how intense college is, so even if I get my desktop and server running so I can self-host a personal PeerTube instance and my own blog site, I may not have time for a while because I will be studying for most of the day, and my spouse and I have agreed I need to get everything done so we have one day of time together each week. So it may not be feasible for me until I get my degree and either find a job or perhaps try to start an electronics repair shop if things get desperate. I like the idea of having a commie electronics repair video channel. There’s not enough commie tech channels.

    Getting an ADHD diagnosis and the medication truely is as absurd as they depict it in the video. Literally night and day. Go from not being able to work linearly to suddenly being able to get all your shit done.

    I find it doesn’t work as well when I don’t get enough sleep and it’s not perfect. But man, it’s like I was living life on hard mode. And it explains my (now former) Coffee addiction.

    I need to work on getting enough sleep and likely seeking out a therapist for monthly sessions.

    One thing to point out, she mentioned it briefly how it’s so much harder, and far less studied for women. Yeah, my friends tell me the same thing. Got my diagnosis in less than a month total, and for many of them it took significantly longer.

      Therapeutic doses of stimulants make ADHD individuals want to sleep more if they are fatigued or sleep deprived due to how dopamine pathways differ between nuerotyoical people and adhd individuals. That’s also the same experience I’ve had, along with the side effects being infinitely more pronounced if I don’t sleep, when usually they don’t show up at all.
