Channel Update/PSA — Where I've Been / Getting a Diagnosis
11I'm still here. But, here's why I haven't posted lately. If you're not sleeping well, constantly got called lazy as a kid while you felt tired, have been diagnosed with ADHD, snore, or care about people who have/had similar experiences, then you may wanna stick around for the PSA part. Because I just got a diagnosis for a problem that I had for a very long time, which is common, and yet had been missed by multiple board certified doctors over the years.
This video took a while to make, because I tried to research everything well. I also wanted to focus on good sources from books, medical studies, and medical articles. I filed this video under "educational" for that reason. I'm hoping that it'll help some people out there realize that either they or loved ones might have what I do, and not have to wait longer to figure it out or, worse yet, never figure it out and think the problem's nonexistent.
But a small addendum: there are multiple treatment options. I forgot to go into detail on that part. My treatment is the most common, but there are also dental devices, surgeries, and other options out there. I also misspoke about "some" clinics testing; I think they all do. My focus was more on giving a real-life example about diagnosis, how getting one works, how it can be missed, how common the condition is, which groups are most at risk, and how life can improve if you have what I do and are diagnosed.

*NOTE: Also, if you didn't watch the whole video, please don't think I'm trying to brag about certain parts of my life.... I explained how I got ridiculed for doing well, not praised, and underlined that I wasn't bragging right beforehand. Like I hinted at above in the desc, I got labeled as "lazy." I talk about being yelled at, bullied, etc. Buuut, I've already seen a subscriber drop off, and I can see the time-stamp is literally at where I said I wasn't pointing out stuff to brag. That's not a brag or humble-brag: it's literally setting up what comes next... but of course if you don't keep watching past the ~1m mark, you'd miss that.
Personally, I think it'd be dumb to brag about childhood anyway—no one knows how I am now. I could've grown up to be a disappointment.
Anyway, now to edit in the music details I forgot to add.
