Throughout your child's education, you will find many ADHD unfriendly teachers and administrators....What you need to do is keep fighting for your child. I am e-mailing, on the phone or in the school constantly. My son has ADHD. He is a great kid....

Trina, It's unfortunate that some teachers are so disinclined to help. Have you considered requesting that your daughter be given a 504 plan? A 504 plan is a legal document that provides for accomodations to aid in your daughter's education. It c...

NerdyMommy, I must say that your suggestion to get up, get dressed, "to the shoes", really resonated with me. Far too often I find myself in a roller coaster of moods, where much of the time I know I need to do things, but my body won't respond. H...

Profile Information

About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
I have been recently diagnosed as ADD after several mis-diagnosis of bipolar, depression and borderline personality disorder. I have a wonderful doctor that specializes in mental disorders and also is a fellow ADDer!! My children are also fellow ADDers.

I am currently taking Adderall for my ADD at 15 mg twice a day. I feel like a normal person although I still have some slip ups and ADD days!

I am a mom, wife and a complex woman of many passions and interests. I am open minded and question the world around me. I march to the beat of my own drum. I am an Atheist, but I do not judge people who are not nor do I force my beliefs upon anyone.

I love music and recently took up bass guitar. I sang for years, but the years of smoking has killed my voice, so I decided to do something that not only can reduce stress, but give me a creative outlet as well. I don't see myself as pursuing it professionally, but you never know what the future holds!!

I'm just bummed out...

I'm normally a fairly happy person. I've had more curveballs thrown at me in my life than I want to admit to, and still manage to pull through. But, with this recent loss of job, I am in a big time funk. I have been in bed for a few days and not even sleeping all that well. I feel so empty. I lack motivation. I keep trying to make myself do things, but I feel like I am just existing more or less.

I'm hoping that somehow I will get my spunk back. I need some push or something to get me back on t… Continue

I am alive. Just not all that well.

Before I give a complete update, I want to thank those of you who sent me hello's and birthday wishes on my page. I did see them, but I have had some crazy goings-on in my life and just have not been online much.

Now, for the update...

I no longer have a job. Due to the economy, my company took quite the hit. At first, we were told that there was no longer overtime and that we had to watch our spending on office supplies. That was before the 4th quarter earnings statement came out. Once that w… Continue

What a week!!!

Last week, I attempted to start this blog and then realized that I was juggling entirely too much at once and instead of publishing it, I just closed my browser. I think playing network goddess is one thing too many for me at times...

My wireless router went out on me. So, I went and bought a nifty new one that is MUCH faster than my old one. So after much procrastinating, I finally set the thing up. But I didn't stop there. I decided that all the computers and laptops needed to see each other… Continue

Instead of ADD moments, I have ADD days!

I cannot believe the day I have had. Since my house is a mess, I wanted to get things in order. It just didn't go the way I wanted...

I got hubby and the kids to do trash detail and I was going to get the "after Christmas" clutter straightened out in the front room. Well, I forgot to take my meds this morning, so I took my after lunch pill and waited a half an hour. I wanted to be able to concentrate instead of my usual running around in circles. Soooo.... Half hour later, I know it's working.… Continue

My first two weeks on Adderall...

It has been so strange. Strange in a good way. The day I was diagnosed, I rushed to the pharmacy to fill my script just so I could take this medication. I know it sounds weird, but after 18 years of mis-diagnosis, I was dying to know what it felt like to be a normal person. I could list the medications that I have previously been on, but I too am a fellow ADDer and know that it would bore even myself to tears!

Anyway, by the time my meds were ready, it was past the time I should have taken it,… Continue

You're very welcome! It's definitely a great idea to have it in place - you can have as few accomodations as you need, or as many - and you can change it as needed. It's really the best protection for your kids, to make sure they get all the resources they need to succeed. Dana is another person here who is very knowledgeable about 504 plans, I'm sure she'd be able to help answer any questions you have as well :) Good luck!

Hi Trina! How have you been? 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......
