Re: ADHD Journeys and the Unbelievers

What I’ve discovered on this site already is how funny you all are. Allan, lots of my friends think the height of holiday bliss is The Bloody Boring Maldives. Yes, I can see they are beautiful. But can you imagine sitting on a beach there for two whole weeks??!

My dear, most of my ‘risky behaviour’ does not need an apostrophy around it. I was a punk and then I ran a pub and enjoyed very much the dance/rave/house movement and everything it had to offer in terms of ‘recreational relaxation’. Just like everyone else. Except. I went a lot further. For me, the big damage was in relationships and some terrible choices I made. Not risky – bloody dangerous. There are three years of my life that I can barely think about without wincing, even now – and it was 10 years ago. To be honest, I was so fucked I can barely remember a lot of it. I still have nightmares and flashbacks now. I was completely out of control and desperately unhappy.

Eventually I got out and met a lovely person that I married and is currently doing a very good job of putting up with me!

As for unbelievers – had another coup tonight. The MIL (mother in law) was very resistent to the idea that her son’s son could have anything ‘wrong’ with him, until I sent her the symptom list and asked her to fill it out on his behalf. Then she got it…
