Medical professionals are telling you to just “stop it already”??? LOL!! Wow. That’s pretty insightful and helpful of them isn’t it?

It reminds me of a skit that Bob Newhart did on one of the old Saturday NIght episodes, where he played the same psychiatrist that he plays in his TV shows. Someone came up to him feeling bad about themselves and his universal response was to lean in, and then say very loudly “look. Just STOP”. I don’t know – it cracked me up.

You’ve painted an accurate picture here – especially for those who don’t know what ADHD feels like or wonders why their loved one seems so scattered all of the time. I love the playground in my mind but, yeah, it often means I don’t get a whole lot done. And sometimes it means I’ll arrive home with frozen groceries which I intended to put into the freezer, only to discover them all thawed out the next day, sitting in the same spot I left them the day before. That can get a little expensive. *laughing*
