Hi. I've written alot today so I'll make this short. I wanted to let you know that I have incorporated the 6 month rule into my organization strategy. I have been having great success with the increa…
Hi Jean. How are you doing? Hope things are better for you. I have been doing well since I started on the increased dose of Adderall (30 mg). I had another post where I elaborated on my progress towa…
Hi Cannie.
Glad to hear that the meds are helping! It can be such a relief to be able to complete the tasks that you want to complete! I haven't been on th site because I have been a very busy gal! Y…
Hi jo elleman.
I haven't had time to check the site because once again my three little guys all got sick. With three kids, one gets it, then the next and so on. It takes like three weeks before every…

Hi Cannie.
Glad to hear that the meds are helping! It can be such a relief to be able to complete the tasks that you want to complete! I haven't been on th site because I have been a very busy gal! Yes, I did start on the 30mg. of (generic) Adderral…
Hi, ron! Sorry I'm just now replying. Obviously, I'm not "cured" by my medication, ha ha!
Yes, I started Vyvanse one month ago. It has made such a difference! Better conversational skills (tho' I need to WORK more on this, now that the lights are o…
Ron...there are so many things that I want to comment on from all the posters, we all sound like we are out of the same mold. But this one comment you mentioned ron, is that you are obsessed with getting your life and your house in order. that is me…
This is driving me nuts... i'm trying to reply but dammit... things keep getting all mixed up... I'm not sure if what was written just got lost... posted? Oh what the heck.. what does it matter anyway k.. i'll try reading a bit
My first suggestion would be to take a deep breath, you are not alone though I do not have kids I can understand your fustration with home and medication and disorganization,
I can tell you what I did: I was officially diagnosised in 2000 I went a "…
I guess I am going off in another direction here. I read in several of these posts variations of "I'm not depressed, I'm just not happy." This comes from the misunderstanding of using 'depressed' and 'sad' almost interchangeably. As well as being AD…

A common thing seems to be a sense of failure...lot of low self esteem stuff goin around.
Anyone read Dr Hallowell..I think someone mentioned it, earlier...he has a great attitude/approach to ADD..some of the books are kind of dry....but a lot of hi…
I am beginning to think that ADHD should be considered an anxiety disorder, but not in the general sense as in generalized anxiety disorder (GED) because, we have productive anxiety if there is such a thing. That constant perpetual sense of drivenne…
Someone suggested Flylady.net to another person and I would suggest her to you too. It is really a very good system for people with ADD I think. Because you only work on each thing for 15 minutes. I don't know if I would sign up for the email list t…
ron, you nailed it! I read my life in your post! I, too, do not feel depressed, but it is as if I overthink every move that I make and feel like I am somehow on the outside looking in on myself. I can never "lose" myself in the moment...virtually ev…
Hi. I agree with others that no one can tell you to stay or leave--every situation is different. My husband doesn't really "buy" the ADHD thing. He also can't understand why I have to struggle so hard to do things in the house. He can't understand w…
