Never Fear, NerdyMommy is here!

So, that Britney song is playing on the radio in my head...(yes, I'm again without my meds - that's a whole different story)...

So I broke up with my boyfriend last Monday. Typical ADD whirlwind relationship... I was a couple weeks out of my last relationship, the 4 year one... when I reconnected with someone I went to HS with. We didn't know each other really in school... but he asked me out, and we went out on a date... which was cool, and fun... and in SOOO typical ADD fashion, I invited him… Continue

... how someone in the mental health medical profession can know so amazingly little about ADHD. After waiting over an hour to see my p-doc today for a meds checkup, I was shuffled over to the nurse-practictioner. First of all, I'm annoyed that I took off from work early to make this appointment, only to have to wait for over an hour. Then, as soon as they tell me this NP will see me instead, I think, "Great. Now I have to go through the whole story AGAIN." I'm not really sure why those drs make… Continue

I recently had an experience that reminded me of how I always react when someone praises something I've done, and it makes me wonder if this is something that others have experienced as well...

The strangest thing happened to me today.

I was talking to one of my friends at work, someone I'm fairly close to, but still... a coworker. I don't even remember how we got on the topic, but I wound up just saying, "Yeah, I've been so exhausted in the afternoons - I'm trying to stretch my meds because I'm going to run out before my next appointment, cause I missed the last one. " Mind you, I've never told him outright that I have ADHD, though I've hinted around at it, I guess, in a roundabout w… Continue

...it pours.

And when it pours, my ADD is so difficult to manage. This last week or so has been intensly difficult. My family suffered an unimaginable tragedy a little over a week ago - my almost 12 year old nephew was struck by a truck while riding his bicycle and was killed instantly. In one instant, our lives changed. My brother and sister-in-law lost the light in their worlds, and my daughter lost her best friend - her cousin, who she was to have been spending the week with this week, fixin… Continue
