Thanks gang, great info All 3 of ya
I get it Tea, I can very much relate to what feels like fear and loathing inside me. I don’t know how you’re experiencing the reality of true parasites everywhere these days. But you are right, they are there. Maybe not as much as “I” think I see, but Crap man, I practically begged my doctor to check for real! parasites almost a year ago when my stomach problems, lack of appetite, and weight loss got bad. No parasites, a lot of stress. I’m just living in fear of getting duped again and death of course… DGMS. Stupid mistakes plague me like freakin crabs or lice.
My shadow scares the living daylights outa me! (small joke)
I’ve stared at what might be the same page wondering if it’s worth 17 bucks, more than twice. Heck, I was there just a couple days ago… maybe yesterday. I’m all over the freakin place. I’m glad I chose not to be stuck bleeding 17 bucks a month and procrastinating about actually listening to n reading the endless material they offer. LIfe sometimes feels like the “The valley of the shadow of death” to me. That valley is wearing me down, but it won’t kill me. I refuse, I defy, I don’t always have to learn the hard way. And I must remember, Fu&% em if they can’t take a joke.
Great post. sdwa, yours helped too. I’ve been procrastinating about getting a coach for a while now. Made a few calls. Found some dead ends. I’m taking a break from that hunt. I’m not crazy about spending that kind of money. I finally found a support group that may be close enough to what I need today. It’s a large enough group, just the right size. It’s well regulated, has a good actual real health care worker in charge. Not the blind leading the blind. The focus is anxiety. The ADHD support group I was told about n went to last night turned out to be a Gamblers Anonymous meeting… They invited me in. What the heck I said. I don’t gamble, never have! seriously. But it helped me get past the disappointment of getting the wrong directions, or getting the directions wrong. 12 step program meetings can be really good or really toxic. This one helped me just mellow out, shut up n listen. The social worker wrote the directions, so the mistaken group is on him. I’m gonna let go of the ADD coach idea for a while and see how this anxiety support group plays out. My history is very much the same as yours sdwa. Maybe too much therapy and support groups I sometimes think. Mostly just the wrong ones!. Snake oils and wonder cures are everywhere, it’s a dangerous world when ya have ADHD symptoms mixed with a lot of other varieties of trauma and insanity.
All of your post was helpful for me, I didn’t notice any rambling. It’s good to have some self discipline, I’ve been working on that. I have to just quit trippin on it when I feel like I made an ass outa myself. I didn’t get the impression that’s what you had going on between your ears. I can just relate to the pressure to keep things brief nowadays. Everyone’s in a dang hurry. Nobody has time to simply read, care, listen, be in service rather than expect to be served/helped. All my problems boil down to selfishness. I’m forgiven.
I probably clown around too much sometimes. That’s forgivable too.
I’m finding other places on the Net that fit me better with my problems. There are a lot of other ADDer sites out there. This one is great for nailing down the problem. There’s solution here too, just hard to find. (for me) and I’m a pig. Now I’m finally in a support group that’s not on the Internet. Good big step in the right direction. Real people, body language, eye contact. Sincere heartfelt service I can give. That’s the root of my solution.
I may end up spending less time here, I’ve learned a lot, added to the psycho-babble encyclopedia in my head and maybe it’s time to just focus on the solution. Keeping it simple, and organizing the most helpful stuff I’ve found here, and at other ADHD places on the net.
This ain’t the only rodeo. Not my first. Won’t be my last. What a wild ride though.
There’s no giving up in my book. Sometimes there’s moving on though.
Blues man… (toofat)
Now playing, “The Whole World is Coming Down” Ozzy Osbourne. (Ozzmosis) the song fits how I feel a lot of the time. That’s what I get for watching the news. Caring. That ain’t no crime either.
Music sweet music, I wish I could caress, kiss, kiss. Man ik de pression, it’s a full straight in mess. -hendrix- I’m pretty sure we ruled that out in the process of diagnosis years ago. I still wonder though…
I found an awesome Buddy Guy CD I bought but never listened to a couple days ago while organizing my CD piles. I now commit to practice more, Look at computer less.
Lot’s wrong with home boy.
God only knows the solutions.
Peace out gang.
