You research more ways of helping people like us. I watch your videos to help me to never forget a lot of things. The most important is being different is O.K.,and there must be a strategy for that. Never give up.

2018-07-17 13:45:17 +0000 UTCI'm with Jason, as well. Before a loving Heart friend of mine shared this channel with me, I basically felt totally alone in the world with regards to my ADHD brain and trying to find my place in the world. Besides seeing a doctor to prescribe me meds, I don't seek out any other kind of therapy and I sure as heck don't sit down and do extensive research about ADHD (That's why I pay you to do it. ;) ) But, the various articles I had seen about ADHD were mainly about children and tactics to survive school. Or I had seen a few things by men who basically were using their ADHD as an excuse to be jerks to others. When I saw your channel, it was not only the first time that I had seen somebody be proud of having ADHD and genuinely wanting to educate people about how our brains are different; not just attempting to mask or control symptoms, it was also the first time I saw another woman, in the same age bracket as me, living life with ADHD. It's really been such an inspiring journey. I believe in you and this Brain Community so much that if you made a vlog demanding $100 a month from every supporter, I'd probably find a way to scrape together the money each month. (But please don't do that, I still have to eat. Ha!)

2018-07-17 12:33:11 +0000 UTC^^everything Jason said (except the aromatherapy bit, I like smells though...)^^ Jess, the reason you and Ed are good at this is the same reason you will be amazing as a Peer Specialist. You guys live this every day which makes you an expert. You are not an imposter, rise above that syndrome, people are drawn to this channel for a reason. While I personally appreciate that you want to keep doing this "as long as [the community] let you"; make sure you keep up the self care. I hope the support the community is giving you helps to reassure you that you and Ed are not alone in this. We've got your back :) Thank you too. You've changed so much for my family and I.

2018-07-17 09:54:53 +0000 UTCJessica, I invest in your channel, because I believe in you, and how you're making a difference. I always try to help others, in any way I can. I'm now studying certified aromatherapy as a way to help others. Finding your channel back in the fidget cube days helped me seek a diagnosis but also realize i wasnt alone in this adventure. That sense of community you helped create has been more helpful than you can imagine. (Hugs! Yes, I admit. I cried a bit). Im proud to see how far you've come!
