Have you ever though of buddism. There is a great free podcast called zencast. It is free through itunes store. It is amazing and has changed my life. I now believe in the divine, universe, whatever you want to call it. And am working to allow mysel…

thanks, I just need to figure out how not to lash out. When I get pressured or have multiple people taking to me, I get really frustrated and anxious. I end up lashing out to release the pressure. For my life, I have always beat myself up after thes…

HI Shane, I can really relate to everything use have written. I'm 44 and probably one of the few woman that have the H in ADHD as an adult. I cannot take stimulants cause I am perpetually anxious and more so cause a lot of memories of the past are…

I have to agree with what someone else said. Every story I can take a line from & apply it to my life. I don't remember a lot of my childhood. Maybe I've blocked out a lot of the bad times for my mental survival. A lot of what I do recall, stems fro…

Glad to hear it, stay away from endless miles of gray, smoke-belching factories and rows and rows of school desks all the same color and facing in precisely the same direction and you'll be fine. A bluebird may even fly by, which you should not try…

Yes!!! As a woman with ADHD, very little in life has been easy. However, no matter how hard anything else ever was, it was just a dress rehearsal for the relentless, exhausting, often overwhelming challenges of parenting. I,too, was a stay-at-home m…

Scott, THANK YOU!!! You made me smile for the 1st time today! I'm having a terribly down day - got up at 12:45 and curled up on the sofa watching TV for 4 or 5 hrs. and I'm still not dressed. Reading these posts (not sure WHY, as they are very sad)…

If there is one thing that impresses itself upon me (and I've been to a lot of message boards over the years) is that ADD people are extremely well written. And most people in general are NOT well written online. I have read people saying that there…

About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?

I wish I could explain to people what it is like to live in my head. What is like like to have severe AD/HD. How painful it is for me to work so hard and never achieve any matter of success. I worked harder at failling than anybody else that I know.

FAITH 2.0

Sherrie, Nerdymommy, and Dana.

I'll respond to all three of you at once.

Many people accept the position that atheists and skeptics are closed minded which not the case is at all. Personally I think it would be very, very, exciting for the paranormal or a Supreme Being to exist. I am very much open to the idea that super natural entities exists. However intellectual honesty requires me to examine evidence that is equal to the claim, before I accept such postulations. Why? I self identify as a… Continue

FAITH

Maybe I shouldn’t make this Blog entry. I know that it will be ill received. However what is AD/HD for if it isn’t impulsive right?

I’m constantly getting invites and email from AD/HD support websites inviting me to join a faith based online support group. Not just ADDERworld, but every social networking site that I am a member of. Wow! I am the wrong person to be sending an invitation to. I’m a skeptic, and I certainly don’t practice faith. I live by a simple philosophy that has served me very… Continue

The Carriage...Visit my Ebook and read my comic book. Orrrr

I created my first online comic book which you can read at @ http://www.myebook.com/ebook_viewer.php?ebookId=3887

Or you can simply go into my photos and read it there.

What is The Carriage about?

The Carriage is just a crazy Idea I had to draw and write for a short comic book.

I was riding the bus one day when I saw this business man fall on his ass on an icy sidewalk. This guy was Mr Money. He must have had on $200.00 shoes, $500.00 suit, and perfect hair. I thought that it would have been… Continue

OBAMA! OBAMA! YES WE DID!

I've had so much transpire in my life that i just became overwhelmed with everything. I quit blogging, I quit staying in contact with people. I had a very dificult time becoming stabilized with my constant manic state. I just needed to take an extended period of time to just shut out the world and concentrate on my next move.

I can't get the help I need because I do not have health insurance. I could not get SSI either. I can't work with people because they cannot tolerate working with me for s… Continue

Well that was a real dark time for me.

Well I spent two weeks in the psych ward. It was Not the best time for me, but I finally received the help that I needed. I definitely have Bipolar Mania, I just can never come own, its impossible for me without medication to get any down time. Most people would view this as a benefit, trust me it sucks. I would have done anything to just feel a little depressed for some time.

Anyway I got another diagnosis that said the exact same thing as my other prognosis. But I for the first time in my lif… Continue

I love the picture, your art seems to be growing in a positive direction, I notice somewhat of a difference in its evolution! COOL!

That does suck that you are not getting the help you need, keep at it, hopefully you will find the right contacts that can take the time to coach you, believe me it makes all the difference in the world if you can hook up with the right professional help.

At 10:20pm on October 17, 2008, Lizard (aka, Butthead) said…: Hey shane, what is going on with you? I hope things are getting better in your world, I worry about you and finding what you need to that will work for you. Pop in and say hi and chat a while so I know your alive.

At 9:14am on October 6, 2008, Lizard (aka, Butthead) said…: I will check out the new art this evening when I get home from work, look forward to it. I really need to post a couple myself.
