Greetings Mrs. Terry Matlen;
My name is Ralph Hoffmann, a 40 year old adult with ADHD. I recently found this out over the past 7months during 2008 and unfortuantely have gone through lots of unfortunate situations with my non married to female partner and our lovely son Eric (4/12). We each live here in Westchester COunty, NY yet unfortuately in different places after 2/12 years. Trying to be the never quitting, tough and positive, yet of course moody person often having too many (ANTs-- The well none Dr. Amen's Acronym Always Neg Thoughts) which I'm trying my best to not create!. Anyhow, just wanted to say hello and would like to ask you if I may add you to my ADDWorld friends list. By the way how long have you been licensed Psychotherapist/ADHD consultant specializing in ADHD of Adults. Do you focus on "women with ADHD or both female and Male Adults " ? Well have a great remaining Friday and a great "Warm" and healthy weekend wherever you may be/live.
Yours truly
Ralph Hoffmann

Hello Terry! HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL OF US STEELERS FANS!!! Wow! What an exciting game that was last night with the Cardinals! For a second, I was really getting scared...... But as usual, the Steelers stepped it up a notch and made another victory! Pittsburgh is definitely celebrating today!
Well, you know all that debilitating anxiety? That I kept noticing was unlike any I'd seen, it was so physiological? How CBT was useless to her? And meds, too?
Well, it IS physiological -- she is ILL. See Chuck Parker's list of ailments and she's got a half dozen of them. Some have made her sick and some are the result of the life of stress she's lived.
Don't anybody forget that the brain is a body part. She's not in school, probably will just skip high school, but rescued a horse 48 hours before being shipped to certain death in a Canadian slaughterhouse, and she receives training and trains him. A match made in heaven and helath is returning, though slowly.
Dana,
You keep turning up wherever I am -- or vice versa. I am glad you are here, m'dear. This seems to be a place of warmth and decency and information. And intelligence. I am sure your participation contributes.
Welcome, woman!! Great to see you here, friend.
New Years hugs to you and yours -
:)
