I hate this so much.

Ok.

I don't really know how to start this - this will be my first blog of all time. This is going to be very broken, and may seem like a rant, but it's not - so please bear with me.

I am 33, soon to be 34, and was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder when I was 31. I am from a family of 4 - 2 boys and 2 girls - now one girl. Both parents are deceased - my father when I was 2 and my mother in 2003.

My whole life has been what seems at times to be a huge mess. As a younger person my grades… Continue

'Merkn, huh?

Last weekend I got to exercise my brain. Oi vey.

First, my voice coach was coming to town to do a workshop. I registered and sent off my cheque. After several E-mails to her Right Hand Man, Friday night rolled around and I still didn't know where the workshop was. So I called her. She panicked because the workshop had been cancelled and her assistant was supposed to contact everyone. Oh bother.

Now, my lovely wife and I were supposed to go camping with friends that weekend but since my coach i… Continue

PMS

For many years I believed I never suffered from PMS. Until I realized I had ADD, and suddenly I had to admit I am suffering from severe mood changes starting about a week before my period.

Actually I wanted to blog about the past week which I spend in Berlin. But nah. Not now.

I have been feeling very well the past week. Very relaxed and "normal".

This morning I woke up in a very bad mood. The potential new lover had left me a message through an online network, while I had asked him to text o… Continue

Overstimulation?

So I was doing my daily webcomic rounds when I came across this little gem from Randall Munroe's xkcd webcomic. It expresses what I have felt so incredibly many times and have not been able to describe as anything other than "total sensory overload" where there is just too much going on for me to even try to process, and I end up tuning it all out.


I was sitting in the student lounge at my college a couple of mo… Continue

Spazatron 3 -- Attack of the ninja studs

The sound booth is going fairly well although slowly because everything has to be perfect (darned physics!) and it's a lot like building a ship in a bottle -- from within the captain's cabin.

The outer north and west walls are finished. I had to frame the south wall so I could figure out where the door and ventilation goes but I can't install it yet or I won't have enough space to do anything else. It's leaning against the centre beam of the garage, waiting its turn.

Bear in mind that the sout… Continue

Reporting bullying: How to do it in a way that minimises the chance of backlash on your child and maximises the chance of action

Know the signs

You know your child the best. You will probably be the first one to notice any changes in your child’s behaviour. As soon as you notice any changes, start keeping a diary.

The changes to look out for:
- Refusal or reluctance to go to school
- Requests for you to drive them instead of catching the bus
- Complaints of stomach aches or headaches (could be a sign of anxiety)
- Sleeping in or wetting the bed
- A fall in the child’s grades or reports from the teacher that you c… Continue

Results from brain scan

I finally got the results from my SPECT scan about 2 weeks ago. It's taken me about that long to really understand what they were saying. What I had was the resting scan which shows what the brain is like when my mind is not active. They could see my migraines and they also noticed that I might have some kind of thing where i have microscopic clots in my brain. They also saw how my sever depression has effected my brain. This really surprised me. Although my ADHD didn't show up I found the resul… Continue

Is it ADHD or Bad Luck?

A few weeks ago I was reminded of something which I sincerely and vehemently believed for a long time: Which was that I was cursed with a terrible case of life-long bad luck (if you have ADHD then you know what I am talking about). In my imagination I figured I must have done something terribly wrong [...]

May Michael Jackson Rest in a Better Place

There are few times in life when an event has such an impact that one never forgets where they were when it happened. The first space shuttle disaster, Challenger, the death of Princess Diana and 9/11 are events I will never ever forget exactly where I was at the moment I heard about them. Sadly, now [...]

Have you ever had a wakeup moment?

Have you ever had a wakeup moment? A moment when you suddenly start thinking about where you are in life, where you have been and where you want to go? It can be satisfying or it can be disconcerting. I had one of those moments the other day and I was just plain confused by it. Seems [...]

What Do Kids Dream About and Why?

I am standing at the edge of a cliff; my toes are curling the edge, as I prepare to jump.  Before me is an open sky, beautiful and clear and, as I look down, I cannot see the bottom, just more glorious sky – this place seems it could be the edge of the world, [...]

Well put Gary. Attention to what depends on each and every situation and depends on what you want to pay attention to, what others want you to pay attention to (parents, teachers etc.) and what you must pay attention to in order to survive. ADHD ...
