Amy replied to Marie's discussion 'Something That Helped Me With Time Management...'

Wow Marie, I can totally relate to the comment alluding to your guilt about the "craziness" while raising your kids. I'm a recently diagnosed 50 yo mom of 5 ...three of which are still home (but the end is in sight, lol). The early years with everyo…

Marie replied to Addy's discussion 'Does anyone else stress out about shopping for clothes?'

Absolutely. Go with the facts. Deal with the reality. Take clothes that fit..not clothes that dont..keep it simple. Remember..ADD thinking likes to think of every contingency in the world, thus making it impossible to make a decision. For me, that I…

Marie replied to Karen L's discussion 'ADHD vs. Physical problem'

Wow...I gotta tell ya...I do not regard the ADHD brain as flawed. Not sure why you believe that:) That's gotta be rough to live with that belief system. It may be wired differently,,,but it still works. ..and why can't you share your struggles with…
