They moved my claim to NJ

I filed for Disability in White Plains, NY. On October 1, I moved to Summit, NJ, and thought the Review Board might be interested - so I called White Plains and was told that they'd transfer my case to NJ and wouldn't 'lose my place in line'.

A few weeks later, I got a letter from the White Plains office making me feel someone forgot to do what they said they'd do.

This time I put it in writing and received notice that the case was moved.

But NJ has a different set of bias's against these typ… Continue

School Reports

I have found some of my old high school reports while clearing out Mum's house - they shout ADD all over them!

The words 'easily distracted' and 'she can do the work when she's interested'

and 'needs to make more effort'

'has the ability but not the application'

'often arrives late to lessons'

'distracts the other pupils'

etc etc ect

I remember the shame I felt reading them the first time - but I am now reframing all those feelings in the light of my ADHD - it's a good feeling :)

Be proud of ourselves !

Since some time, I notice I have a special temperament by comparaison with the "normal" people (those who don't have ADHD). Indeed, even if I'm distracted, confused, make mistakes, have a loud voice, a loud laugh and a short fuse, I can also be very passionnate about life, have genuine ideas, have big dreams (unrealistics, according to many people around me), be extremely empathetic and have a lot of fun with children, especially with mine (he has about 2 years old). I'm not shy to roll in the g… Continue

The Daffodil Principle





Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mother, you must come see the daffodils before they are over." I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. "I will come next Tuesday, "I promised, a little reluctantl… Continue

SSI and ADHD

My 19 yearold grandson, who self-medicates with nicotine and marijuana, has been on SSI since he was two months old. At this point, they are trying to take away his benefits because he is of age and can work. [ LOL. maybe he can work after he is 21 and can get a graveyard shift job!] Any ideas what I should tell them when I take him in to the interview on Nov 19th--if I can find him?] He REALLY needs those medicaid coupons for his accidents!!!

Those Pesky Bushels

It's weird how things turn out.

When I was a child I was interested in medicine. My mother suggested I become a doctor but I was terrified I'd lose my first patient. Of course I know now that it doesn't work that way but I never did become a doctor.

Instead I took first aid courses, joined Search and Rescue, got up to Advanced Wilderness First Aid, became and actor and now teach at the medical school. But I'm still not a doctor.

I also wanted to become a maths professor. Too bad I didn't have… Continue

The medication appears to be working

Having moved from Westchester, NY to Central NJ, I needed to find a new shrink - which I did through referral of people whose opinions I trusted.

Donna, MNS (My New Shrink) didn't know the 'old me' - who finished other people's sentences for them and constantly interrupted. Instead, she's met someone who she feels has strong OCD (without the rituals} and overtones of ADHD.

The two disorders have much in common, symptomatically, I've found: high degree of disorganization, a tendency towards per… Continue

Read and Comment on Bryan's Thoughts:

If ADHD were fully controllable then it wouldn’t be ADHD

In relationships there’s a lot of give and take. You give some, you take some and you give some more. It’s a simple and necessary principle of reciprocation. The above sentence could just about start out any relationship book, but it’s not a very good starting point for a book about ADHD, love, relationships and sex [...]

Top Ten 10 Do and Don’t with your ADD ADHD partner

Here’s a top ten list I have put together of things to do and NOT do with your ADHD partner: Do not: Do not play parent (motherly or fatherly) Do not take on the sole responsibility of trying to correct his or her behavior Do not blame every aspect of the relationship which might be damaged on his or [...]

Love and ADHD a Bittersweet Reality

To be loved. Can I be loved? Am I lovable? Have you ever asked those questions of yourself? Have you ever stayed up nights, wondering why - why can’t I be loved? ADHD often seems like a bittersweet reality. Many of us are creative, we are exciting and we can find things to do when the rest of those around [...]

Lost Friends and Lost Lovers and Life Thereafter

Have you ever had relationships, so strong, so powerful, and ever so meaningful, that after that special person, or people, left, parts of yourself left too? There are times when you can still feel them nearby, as if they are right there – you can almost touch them, but only, only, almost – fleetingly, across the [...]
