Hi @gforcewarp9 🙂

I know how you feel. Sometimes it’s like nothing ever goes right and you’re all alone.

Have you tried looking for support groups in your area? I know there aren’t many of them, but there might be something. Even a support group for parents of children with ADHD, since odds are if the kids have ADHD the parents do too. You may find some people there who would be more understanding and you could make some friends.

I have always struggled to make friends and never had many. Right now I don’t have any except online. But I am accustomed to being alone and it doesn’t really bother me anymore. And I have decided to just start being myself no matter what people think. If they really want to be friends then it won’t bother them. I haven’t actually been out looking for friends but I have had a few people  strike up conversations with me.

Now if only I knew how to carry a conversation… 🙄

Your story about sending out the birthday cards made me chuckle. That is something that I would do. I had to call and cancel an appointment today when my mom looked at the card and told me it was for Wednesday, and not Friday like I had thought, and I have another more important appointment scheduled for Wednesday.

Things like that will always happen no matter how hard you try to prevent them. So you have to laugh about them. And try to get a support system going if you can. Get your family to help you keep track, if you have any family members who can help. I write things on the calendar and tell my husband and my mother so that I have three possible reminders. And I have started using post its. I find writing something on a post it note and sticking it somewhere works better than writing them in a book. You could try asking someone to be a “buddy” too, so you can remind each other of important stuff and keep each other on track. You can do it by email so it doesn’t have to be someone where you live.

I don’t know if any of that will work for you. When all else fails, tie a knot in that rope and hang on as best you can. You’ll get through it. 🙂
