Could TOTALLY be something else...go to your doc, get checked out!!!
I was getting really sleepy for a while there, but that was because my medication dosage was wrong. If you're not taking a new med that induces grogginess, you could have another…
I really hate being "reactive". Medication really eases that symptom for me.
Honestly I think impulsivity shoots me in the ass more than anything though. Unfortunately it used to be what made my life so FUN too, so it was hard to start saying no to…
See! Options, options, options! I know I always feel better when I feel like I have options...glad to see you are moving forward :)
I don't know the history of your relationship with your husband, but just ended a relationship myself with someone w…
OMG...same here. My ex just took three weeks to move out. I don't know about you but if someone asked me to leave, I'd be outta there that day, I don't want to hang around where I'm not wanted. I don't hate him, but MAN, I am an ADHDer after all and…
Ooh, Nerdy Mommy's response made me think of something else...yes, Nerdy Mommy, I too sometimes have very neutral reactions to things that would put others over the edge...not "loss" issues perhaps, but ones that freak people out for sure. It is a q…
Hi Daphne and Jo. Isn't this an interesting question. I would be willing to be that there are many different ways that we ADHDers deal with loss.
Even my own reactions to death of loved ones have varied greatly, depending on the death.
When my gra…
Scott, I do love your blog, and would even love it if you posted more often. NO PRESSURE, I just enjoy your writing style/voice, and your story is quite unique. Plus, blogging is a good way to process your "stuff" and heaven knows you've got a lot t…
Dana, your birth order theories are right on the money for me, haha. I usually actually date other "oldests" or "only kids"...and I usually get frustrated with them for being too bossy...lol. BUT, the only thing that bothers me more than that, is yo…
OH! Quick PS, in response to Dana's post!
Dana, GREAT POST. I didn't mean to seem like I am contradicting you, because your input is awesome. I just know with ADHD and anxiety that sometimes the anxiety can try to run the show...every person's situ…
Oh gee, I wish I had seen this post earlier. I'm so sorry you are having this experience. As someone who is officially diagnosed and treated for ADHD and generalized Anxiety, I FEEL your pain. THANK YOU for sharing this...you are not the only one wh…
Dana, Sari Solden's book is so good. SO good. Another great one that isn't even about ADHD is Women's Ways of Knowing. I read it years ago, when I was in high school even, and it was a breath of fresh air to learn that many of the systems and expect…
Well, I respect when people know that they need help...but also remember Josephine, that while some of the ways that we do things as ADHDers shoot us in the ass, sometimes there's nothing wrong with us doing things "our way". Sometimes the non-linea…
Yeah baby, I'm totally the oldest. But I didn't even baby my sister. In fact...haha...I did the same thing with my boyfriend that I would do with her. Teach them how to do certain things for themselves...teach a man to fish...then hope they'll take…
Great meat for discussion as usual Dana. ADHD does affect relationships in interesting ways and I definitely think that it's important for all of us with ADHD to consider how it may be affecting OUR relationships.
It is more common for me in relati…
I wouldn't say I 'hate' furniture. I just don't use it in the conventional way that is uh, acceptable! :P
I do the curling one leg up and sitting on my foot thing; I've been known to sit sideways in chairs (back against an arm and legs over the oth…
Yes, I had one and was about to re-hire her after a break...until my boyfriend and I broke up and my budget has totally changed.
It was great. It helped me get routine tasks done, and gave me more time and brainspace for taking care of the constant…
Profile Information
- About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
- I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I'm a successful, creative person who relied some pretty stellar coping skills until finally, it was all too much. Diagnosis was a freeing relief, and life is now a fascinating journey as I examine the plusses and minuses of me and ADHD. Most people I know would "never guess" that I had ADHD but only because they don't understand how hard I was working all this time to "pass" for normal :)

Véronique St-Martin said… - Hi Miss K !
I'm a French Canadian author who's presently writing a book about the good sides of ADHD and particularly, I'm searching testimonies of positive people, who are viewing ADHD like a chance and not like a bad luck.
I though that you could be one of these positive persons and I was asking to myself if you would accept to answer to some questions for my book.
So, you could help my future readers to feel better in their life and about themselves !
If you are interested, write me to my personnal address :

Cordially,
Véronique St-Martin

Lizard (aka, Butthead) said… - Hi, good to meet you and yes it is very hard work to fit into the "normal" world at times, that is why I told myself awhile back that I was spending way too much energy to do that all the time, I just had to learn when it was needed and when I could just be my "normal" ADHD cut up self!

David W said… - Miss K,
Welcome to ADDer World. Though not an ADDer myself, I live with two of them, my wife and son. My dear wife is over 50 and newly diagnosed, so don't feel alone, for sure. There are nice people here and those who will give your their opinion, whether you want it or not :-). Altogether, it is a great place. Please feel at home, and navigate to your heart's content. As for meds, my wife, as well as my son have been on ADD meds for a bit over a year. From my non-medicated perspective, they seem to help, but they are not a panacea. I'm sure that you have heard all of that.
Anyhow, nuff said. Please feel at home, take care and God bless!
Sincerely,
Dave W.
