How lucky you are to be able to maintain a relationship. Even if it is for short period of times. I have avoided imitate relationships for over 17 years after I became ill and my ADD became to much for be to handle. I guess the length and complexity…
Hey Jenn, I agree about too much focusing on the negatives. My daughter who has ADHD IS pretty amazing. ;) And so are all the other people I know who have it too....and I guess me too. One thing I do like about myself is that I have a great sense of…

Hi Alyssa! I first started taking Adderall a few years ago. My weight dropped from 150 to 130 in about two months. This was due to a complete loss of appetite for me. I was also exercising regularly but I did not feel good a lot of the time during t…

I can completely relate. I have always struggled in the "social department". One thing that has made this even more difficult is the past two long term relationships I have had were with men who have more friends than I thought was possible. I do wo…

Alone Again....:(
Well, I'm a single girl again. My two year relationship ended this weekend. I'm dealing with this alone right now because I'm too uncomfortable about telling my family and my kids. Sooner or later they are going to ask questions about my now ex-boyfriend's whereabouts. I have so many things on my plate right now concerning my family that I'm trying not give the breakup too much thought but I know the floodgates will open on this one soon. I need to get a handle on my ADHD "ways" before I begin t… Continue

will it ever get better?
I am at this point completely exhausted. Physically, mentally , emotionally. I have recently graduated from college which was a great accomplishment but cannot find a job. I am a single mom of two children, one of which also has ADD. During school I was living in the student family apartments and so I am now living with my parents again. My grandmother also lives with my parents and she on severe mental decline due to Alzheimer's. Being in this cramped place I feel crippled and depressed. Althou… Continue

Sooner or later they are going to ask questions about my now ex-boyfriend's whereabouts. I have so many things on my plate right now concerning my family that I'm trying not give the breakup too much thought but I know the floodgates will open on this one soon. I need to get a handle on my ADHD "ways" before I begin to believe I'm destined to be alone forever. Unfortunately, the head space I'm in currently feels less complicated with one less person to take care of....but I know I need someone to share my life with so that can't be a good thing. Can it? After my divorce 5 years ago, I remained single for 3 years while listening to my family constantly telling me to date again. Although, I needed that time alone I eventually began to feel lonely and fell for the first guy that "stuck around". Don't get me wrong, he was a great person but I'm not sure if he was "the one". Which by the way...how can you even tell if someone is "the one"?...Sometimes I wish a was a hermit on some mountain that would only venture down to refill my pantry for the next six months...seeing as Louisiana has no mountains in sight...I don't think that's a possibility...sigh....maybe I'll become the "weird lady" down the street that neighborhood kids giggle at and prank for Halloween....which btw is my favorite holiday so maybe I'll get a jump start and start wearing odd clothing and quit mowing my grass....
