Re: “ADD & Mastering It!” Live Blog

[Anonymous]

Right on Wgreen for following the MPT broadcast and blogging about it for folks that couldn’t watch it. I was there with Rick and Patrick and was way too nervous to be blogging. I think I was way more nervous than them and I was just behind the scenes! Thanks for your thoughtful gesture for this community : )

So many people we hear from in the UK are struggling with their GP it seems. Everything from denying it exists to not having a clue it exists and how to spot it. I’m so glad you were able to get a diagnosis Scattybird and that you found us and this awesome group of people who truly are generous with their time and sharing their experiences.

I wish we could get a drop of broadcaster interest in the UK, Europe or Australia. We’ve had our distributor approach them and no one would even look at ADD & Loving It?! except for one local station in Australia who promptly said no thanks. Rick and I found that shocking and very sad. Many, many people in North America have found us because of ADD & Loving It?! running on Global TV in Canada and PBS in the U.S. If anyone has any ideas about how to get through to broadcasters in other countries let me know. I haven’t given up on that and I want as many people as possible to see it and know they’re not alone. I don’t want them to by chance stumble on this website. It may be a backward approach but if enough people like you exist Scattybird, then they can begin educating their doctors and break the cycle of shame, myths and ignorance.

And Peter – I spent so many years looking after others and wearing myself out. I now know what you say to be true. Wise words.
