Colleen...I tooooootally hear you. It is REALLY hard to ignore the fun of new ideas and toys and plans.

PS...got a chance to talk to my cousin today...she always "gets" where I'm coming from and she took the time to reassure me (although I didn't ask) that she's proud of me and where I'm headed...and that yes, other family members are shackled by th...
Michelle...thank you for taking the time to respond...and articulate so well the contradictions in a situation like this. My parents ARE very caring in some ways...and they are also emotionally sort of stunted. i truly feel sad for them sometimes....
Dana, thank you so much for sharing YOUR experience. It sounds like you are doing a great job of staying strong for yourself and keeping your eyes on your goals of health and well-being.
I have some family members too who "don't remember" stuff o...
Cathie, I am just DYING reading your quote from your father about how "You can't just go around telling people the truth!!!". That is SO funny and such a perfect encapsulation of family dysfunction, haha.

"The one ADDer challenge that I have during work meetings is keeping quiet and unexpectedly verbally expressing my random thoughts or idea's."

people pretty much think that I am insane because even with my meds, I have trouble not saying what I think - and sometimes it is not even remotely connected to the last thing that came out of my mouth...or anyone elses!

Miss K, you have worked so hard to get to where you are right now. That work alone deserves congratulations and applause. Pat yourself on the back and know that regardless of what anyone else does, you will live a happier, more pleasant and fulfil...
Sorry you're going through this, my family didn't react this way to my ADHD....but they did after I moved away and got involved with some great folks at a church I was going to. They did weird and wacky things, like address actions that hurt them,...
lol glad you are feeling better :-)) I've had days like that, too many, but they pass and before you know it the sun is shining again, just after the storm and the wind picks up and the air suddenly seems fresher than ever before and the next thin...
I am plagued by constant inspiration and the inability to see, right away anyway, that an idea is just not a good idea, or would be just one more thing to add to my plate, or might just be impractical. I know it sounds bipolar actually (though I a...
Sorry...novel...but if one person reads this and is able to hold onto their own sanity amidst this kind of shitstorm...it's worth it.
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.
