Nobody’s Fool: Jordan Peterson explains ADHD
This is a great insite into just how many people have ADHD.
I was telling a friend today, that when I was young, my mother bought this toy plastic clock that taught you how to tell time. I was about five. I HATED that toy. She made me sit every day to learn it, but I knew that this was bascially a CONTROL lesson, and there was no way that I was going to have MY time controlled by any clock. And I knew she would use it to do just that.
I did not actually learn how to read a watch until I was a freshman in college. As Jordan says, they controlled all of us through bells. You didn’t have to know a thing about time except you couldn’t WAIT to get out of the school.
Years late, my doctor put me on Ritalin he said to “Help me with all my racing thoughts.” It was a form of speed…and I took it for years, in fact, when I got pregant I asked my doctor what the drug would do to the baby, and he said, “We don’t know.”
My son was born at 6 months premature, and while he was in his incubator at Children’s Hospital downtown, I asked him why my baby was shaking?
He said, “We think he’s coming off the Ritalin.”
The next day, I went cold turkey. Never took another pill.
My son has been diagnosed with ADHD.
And now he’s on some kinds of drugs.
The thing is: It’s not normal for kids to sit in a classroom all day and ‘obey’ and ‘memorzie’ when they want to be playing.
Elon Musk has started schools that I wish every child could go to. Google his schools, you will wish your kids could go there too.
Yes, once again, Jordan Peterson’s great truth comes out to help us all.
Even if it’s too late for me, it’s not for you or your kids.
Don’t let them put your kids on drugs to ‘calm’ them down.
Let the kids, be kids.
Jordan Peterson: Advice on How to Deal with Anxiety and Negative Emotions
Nobody Wonders
In this video, I found at least ten rants I wanted to go on, but there is one thing that I agree with: not every depression is mental. I know this from my own experience.
Every month, since puberty, I became horrible depressed, and it was right before my periods. They now call it PMS, and then PPMS…multiply mine by 10. I suffered a lifetime of it. Doctor after doctor could not help me. I was smart enought to know I wasn’t “MENTAL”, and proud that I came out of it every month intact, but I suffered. Horribly.
Even Stephen King couldn’t fathom it.
Then, after menopause, the world opened up like a beautiful rose. Oh sure, I got sad at normal things, but a short cry, and I am fine. I feel normal now. But most of my life? You don’t want to know.
Last year, I was walking around the block with a woman my age, and she said the doctors ‘balanced’ her hormones…she suffered too. That cured it.
I can’t TELL you how ANGRY I was. All those years I suffered…for WHAT? Even though Doctor Peterson does attack the problem here, he makes no mention of hormones.
Hormones play a very critical role in the body, and yet, nobody much talks about them. Men OR women.
They never have. They don’t now. It’s like we are still in the dark ages.
I often wonder if this brand new awakening of gay men and woman is not due to something being put our water, or food to cause such an outbreak. I wouldn’t put it pass them. Estrogen is in all our food. They put it in to make the chickens and the cows grow faster, and bigger, and produce more milk.
It stays in the food.
Anyway, if you have a daughter that gets really depressed before her period, find a doctor that will take a hormonal test and treat her right away. Don’t let her go through a lifetime of emotional pain.
It could mean the difference between life and death.
Anyway, Please enjoy some good tips from my favorite psychologial thinker: Mr. Peterson.
Who, by the way, cries on video a lot.
Maybe HE should have his hormones checked out…
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
