Just think yourself, lucky you haven’t got my brain.

I’ve attached a screenshot of a YT video of a Mental health professional explaining ADHD in Adults like quite a lot of these videos the comments are in the 30-50k range of the viewers who realise they aren’t only stupid but their mind is totally jumbled up and every one of the comments someone admitting that they are barely able to operate. @save the frogs “ This is not a psychological disorder “ I think it’s relevant to layout some facts in that I fix Pretty complicated big Refrigeration systems in Food factories and Supermarkets so I just cannot be unintelligent, I’m the one who people sometimes call when they can’t fix it, but I’m far from the best ever. So how would you explain my issues ? Which are: • I have a very poor working memory that manifests in many ways. Randomly can’t remember names of coworkers if I’m not with them. Recalling my supervisor’s name can evade me. And if I’ve been away in Thailand a few months on one of my many ‘ inbetween jobs ‘ times I will forget everything. Names and passwords, how to navigate menus and functions in controllers or work platforms. losing my train of thought while speaking in every conversation. Personality. I’m very empathetic and will help anyone out. But I find that this is viewed as a character flaw because I have never had anyone help me with anything except when they want to curry favour with me for example if they regularly need help fixing something that they have no clue how to fix. I am brilliant on stuff I enjoy like cleaning something or if a machine is not working and that puzzle needs solving, I’ll work that out. But as the dead line approaches for the monthly Overtime Spreadsheet to be submitted next morning that I have not started yet I will procrastinate until the night before and end up finishing it at 5am, this is a common ADHD trait. I talk 10 to the dozen and wear people out, so they don’t come back. I’ve seen multiple people literally fall asleep in front of me. To be fair they are weak and just get up to early due to social conditioning. I work from 09:30 to 00:00 plus and not tired Oversharing and No filter. Like above. But don’t care what anyone thinks. Had 20 plus employers. One of the biggest issues is losing stuff due to my attention deficit. Hundreds of £££ of tools left on top, inside , under , behind plant and shop refrigeration cases. I have recently bought 8 Apple AirTags and attached to the too expensive/Much Hassle to lose items… Work phone, Tablet , Wet Vac, £2000 gas detector, a tool bag ( this list takes some effort to remember) I can’t recall everything. Stepladders ! Van Keys !! Before I settled into being a service engineer. I was a decent installer but my tools were spread out all over a room in a tool bag. That’s the being disorganised part. I’ve left my passport on a plane, got it back. Everyone appears to hate me. But then people say I overthink. So after all that your saying that, as I have said in my head since I was a small child, that I am just rubbish and lazy ? Not that I, like the 30k commenters in those aforementioned YouTube Vids , may have a Dopamine deficiency in my brain ? Look up Gabor Maté

I’m enquiring for myself, and for my employer in England, but also others who may be interested in knowing, because to go through the system in England on the national health service Years in some areas. So there are a plethora of psychiatry clinics that deal with diagnosing ADHD and provide an official diagnosis that can then be presented to your doctor to be able to get MEDS. This process costs £850 at the cheapest and I was told this morning on an AI chat with One very well thought I’d provider in the UK that at the end of the £850 which I do believe would be if there were no complications completed the same day. I will also be having a tooth removed in Thailand for 750 baht as well, so he doesn’t have to cost upwards of £100 if that’s okay with people

Nobody who has anything going on in their lives would thumbs down anything. I think pity is the only emotion required is pity for these types, and that’s not you, as you said. I’ve always for the 20 years I have been coming to Thai Visa always seen it as a place of evil. Obviously when posting a question about a Visa or the like and some absolute gem like. The guy who recently died, buffalo in his profile picture ( can’t remember his name that’s ADHD for you.). He was absolute gold and the total opposite of a lot of nastiness that goes on on TV. Actually, another characteristic of ADHD is overthinking.

Why ?

1. Can lay it before an employer for it to be treated as a protected characteristic. 2. To be able to be prescribed meds.

This is what Google AI comes up with The following is a simple explanation of adult ADHD with an inattentive presentation, formerly known as ADD, for a friend . The simple analogy Imagine a brain as a radio. A typical brain can tune into a specific station and listen clearly. A brain with inattentive ADHD has a radio that constantly scans for new stations, picking up small parts of other conversations and songs. It’s a challenge to stay on one channel, especially if the song isn't very interesting. How it affects adults who aren't hyperactive Adults with primarily inattentive ADHD don't typically have the outward signs of hyperactivity, like constant fidgeting or high energy. Instead, their hyperactivity often happens internally, as "mental restlessness". This can show up in several ways: Difficulty with focus: A person might zone out during a conversation or meeting, not because they don't care, but because their mind has drifted off. Disorganization and forgetfulness: They may frequently misplace keys, forget appointments, or have trouble with time management, leading to missed deadlines. Trouble finishing tasks: A project might be started with good intentions, but distraction or boredom can make it difficult to follow through to the end. "Daydreaming": They might be called "spacey" or "dreamy" because their attention often drifts inward, and they can lose track of what's happening around them. Low self-esteem: Years of internalizing labels like "lazy" or "irresponsible" due to misunderstood symptoms can lead to feelings of frustration, guilt, and low self-esteem. What your friend should know It’s not a personal defect. Inattentive ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning a person's brain is simply wired differently. They aren't alone. It's a real condition that can be managed with the right strategies and support. The struggle is real. Even without the visible hyperactivity, the challenges with focus, memory, and organization are very real and can be exhausting.

You know what these men are like in Thailand a lot of them are sociopaths. That’s how They got their wealth.

Cheapest is £850 , will probably do that, but went to my Doctor yesterday and realised the NHS has waiting lists of years because about 4 % of the population has this condition. Just look at the amounts of comment , in the 10’s of thousands, on ADHD videos where people realise those symptoms are theirs and they are middle aged and have never realised why their life has been such a struggle just to stay above water.

Well, do you want to know or not?

How strange that two people @Hummin @carlyai were browsing this post and then the post got two Thumbs down. I’ve very recently discovered that I have Adult ADHD/ADD. The way my/ our brain works makes life a struggle but when I see the behaviour of ThaiVisa members i always feel lucky to be me and not the type of guys I see in Thailand very often, a lot of Psychos about 😀

Hey everyone, I’m flying into Thailand this Friday and wondering if anyone’s ever gotten assessed or diagnosed for ADHD here? • Which hospitals or clinics did you go to? • How easy was booking the appointment? • Was the assessment thorough (interviews, questionnaires, follow‑ups)? • About how much did it cost? • Were you able to get medication prescribed, and were there restrictions (stimulants, renewals, etc.)? Thanks in advance — this could help a lot!

I’ve just clicked on Thai Visa to see if my past posts had any Nasty replies and that I had missed, nothing 😞. First thing I noticed is the great big Ads taking the page over are gone, good, so annoying. Looks pretty clean.

I have at the airports but not in Dubai. I’m pretty sure there is alcohol in Dubai. There is no way it is banned as there would be no tourists. Imagine Thousands of tourists sitting around at night with a coke an ice.

Your referring to my comment that I was sitting at the Emirates gate to BHX and the gate closed in 9 mins but there were near to a hundred people not paying attention and if Emirates said nothing the gate would have closed and they would have all been sitting around. I’m assuming they would have made an announcement final call but it’s easy for time to disappear. I’m gonna try harder next time to be on time.
