Do you plan your routine? Use a planner?

This is a wonderful idea! I personally find money to be almost as much of a mystery as time. The concept is a bit ethereal. I know you can actually SEE & TOUCH money... but not when you use your ATM so you don't spend all your money!
I'd love to re…
Challenges and solutions that work
Hello Julie! Welcome to the Club! LOL! I'm a fairly fresh face too... was diagnosed in May this year and notice immediate changes as soon as I started my meds too! Isn't that the coolest thing?
I was 46 when I received my diagnosis (my birthday was…
Hey Bev! OK... sit down and take a DEEP breath. Now what I would say to you (if I was sitting in the same room as you) is get ready for another "ADD-venture"! Because your situation is probably similar to many of us with ADD. It probably isn't the f…
Thanks for the reply, Amy. Yea... I tend to worry more about my teens than I probably need to... but luckily I don't act on most of my crazy panicked thoughts... lol. They have been pretty good making their own decisions so I just need to be there w…

I was once told that nothing is a problem until you make it a problem.....and geez that means I've made way too many things problems...lol. Now seriously, with your daughter, she is not indicating that there is a problem. So as long as you h…
I LOVE TO PLAN!!! I love planning systems... I can lose hours/days planning out over the next few months. Then once I have it down pact... either electronically (PDA, computer, etc) or on paper (day timers, calendars, etc)... then its over. I rarely…
Late??? You mean I'm NOT the only one?!? My entire life was full of missed appointments and arriving at parties as they are ending. Actually I have made a 75% improvement in this area since starting meds in May. I tend to NOT get so distracted along…
Oh, Judy, what can I say? Been there, done that??? Actually TWICE!! How reassuring is it to know that my ADD was probably a huge contributor to our downfall, not once but twice?!? Not very reassuring at all!
When we filed back in 1999, we basically…
Hi Karen! Yea... ur probably right. I was in a weird place yesterday. I'm finding my moods jumping all over the place lately. I get all freaked out then I'm calm. Ugh... its driving me nuts!
By the time she came home from school yesterday, I was ov…
Ok Karen... you jinxed me! LOL... its really not funny, but it appears that now my meds aren't working either! I first noticed last Friday... I actually had a "breakdown" of sorts. I do know what triggered it, I didn't eat dinner the night before an…
omg patty. middle school for me was pure hell. it's when so much in my life went downhill. MS girls are the meanest ones out there. Is your daughter bothered by their comments? Does she have any friends at school? If she has friends, they can help s…
Well... my daughter seems to be unaware of the mean things going around. She was preoccupied with completing homework... then she played her DS. Very typical behavior for her.
I'm having a hard time right now. So I decided to blog. :-)
I don't feel so much about talking about me... plenty of time for that later, but will toss out my feelings of what is going on with my 11 year old daughter. As far as she's concerned... n…
Hi Karen,
Yea... it sucks when the meds aren't covered by insurance. I ran into that the first two months of my meds and had to pay out of pocket. We just switched insurance carriers in July and this one covered my med of choice (Concerta) with a s…
Oh girl! Don't get me started! I recently had a fiasco of a time trying to get my meds covered by our health insurance. Not for the pre-authorization, but because "I was over the age of 18!" INCREDIBLE! And when I dr submitted the pre-authorization…

I don't feel so much about talking about me... plenty of time for that later, but will toss out my feelings of what is going on with my 11 year old daughter. As far as she's concerned... nothing is going on. Or nothing that she feels she needs to share with me... yet. I do know her... we homeschooled for 3 years (3rd thru 5th grade) and I know she is a creative, sensitive, smart child. She also has a little of a "dark" curiousity side.… Continue
