Has Anyone ever gotten an apology from a doctor saying they were sorry for screwing up?

It's been years ago that I went to a new meds doctor, one of the hundreds and he pushed me over the edge.


I can't remember the exact situation but by the time I got out of his office I was livid. I do remember when he came out to meet me he had his head down, never looked at me and he turned around and lead me into his office. We did our interview and not once did he ever look up at my face.



I thought (over focused) on his lack of manners on my drive home and got even ma

Changes in me

Hi everyone. I have good news about my actions when something goes wrong.This morning there was a big accident.Just a mess in the middle of the floor. You can probably guess my usual reaction. Not Today! I got up from my chair and said "Let's not let this little mess ruin our day." I then got my cleaning machine and immediately cleaned the floor. Today, not tomorrow! This is progress for me.

ADHD HUNTERS spring turkey season tips

This will be my 25th spring turkey season coming up. So I compiled 10 tips that may or may not help any other hunters in ADDerworld.



1. Never put your name on your turkey calls. ( cause you never know where your going to leave them )



2. If you set-up in a field that just doesn't look familiar chances are it's not your field. ( see # 1 )



3. If you hunt before work and don't wear a watch, estimate the time and add 1 hour to it to get the correct time

Did You Say I Have an HDTV??

Telling your kids about ADHD can be a challenge. My eldest son said to me the other day; “Now did you say I have ADHD or did you say I have an HDTV??"

My eleven year old was kidding. He thinks that the alphabet soup of acronyms in our language is extremely funny. He does understand the disease but there is plenty of room for confusion when you are explaining complex brain phenomena to younger kids.

Some people ask me how much I think my kids need to know about ADHD and my response is; ” They n… Continue

THE NEVER ENDING SAGA OF ADHD.....

Do you ever feel as if you are simply spinning your wheels, aimlessly going in circles or lost in a jungle of a maze during your daily management of ADD/ADHD? Have you ever changed your ADDer medication to shockingly find out that it is taking you straight over the edge?

It is stressful enough having to cope with common ADD/ADHD symptoms, such as juggling to stay on task, remembering NOT to lock your keys inside your car, trying to force yourself to arrive ON TIME for an important business meet… Continue

YouTube Video - ADHD Management *updated (take 2) (now includes link!)*

I know I probably shouldn't be putting this in the "blog" section but it seems to be the section that gets the most attention.

I stumbled across a video on youtube - it seemed really interesting (i only watched the first 10 minutes - go figure!) but is kind of long - 1hr20mins of a conference about adhd management. but its interesting to hear what a dr (i know their all different) has to say in detail (instead of 15 minute med checks.

"Russell Barkley, Ph.D., discusses the recent advancements… Continue

ADHD in ADDER world

Prisoner in my ow country.
An inhuman scenario for a future with Ritalin-use.

While searching the web, to explore the experiences and needs of people using medication on a regular base, the announcement of the European Schengen Declaration with the topic “Medication and Druglaw” was literaly a Bang.
The declaration indicates that the status of Ritalin as drug, can be neutralized by an official permit of the National Healthcare Inspection. This permit is granted, only if requested through a date… Continue

Are we just determined to Fail? Cant we ever taste success?

I have my finals next week. They start in 4 days. Now Everytime I have an exam, a test or something, I fail. It doesnt matter if I study Hard, or dont study at all. Its always the same thing. Failures, just failures. I mean I dont know what to do anymore. Perhaps my studying methods are wrong? But then again why do I always feel so ready, and that I understood everything and then I fail? Why do I study so much, to get just the average grade, or below? I am so Afraid of my finals next week. I don… Continue

The Primarily Inattentive Child

Do you see that kid in the corner of the room. She is in 5th grade and is lost in her own thoughts. She knows better than to look out the window. She is staring straight ahead. She has not heard a word the teacher has said. She is thinking about why her teenage cousin is so obscessed with that boy with the funny hair.

Now everyone has reached for their math books. Now all the math books are on the desks. Now everyone is writing. Where is my math book? What page are they on? Where is my pencil?… Continue
