Re: Is there really “nothing positive” about ADD?

Hi Bobbie40N…..your having a tough go, I hear that, I do. Not everybody has the same issues or challenges going on, we are all different, as different as you can imagine. There is no standard ADD list, that is obvious, and comparison, in my mind, doesn’t do anybody any good. We are who we are, individuals all of us!!! We have some common threads in the way our brain process(s) information, that’s all. I don’t claim to know what will work for you……I do know here are more things under the sun than ADD…some of my best…..aahh haaaa moments came from sources other than ADD sources. That’s just me though……

Also, there are so many threads on the site…… folks having varying degrees of success with a multitude of different aids….I can only encourage you to check out as many threads as you can and investigate not where folks have failed but, where they have met with some success. It’s common to find folks who have had a great deal of success with diet plus exercise, plus counseling, plus reading self help and awareness books (not ADD specific reading either), group, and meds….meds maybe not being the answer in themselves alone, but meds in concert with those other things. But meds certainly can, and do, assist others in getting that much needed leg up. As I say, the combination of things seems to provide many people a more manageable life. Bobbie it really takes patience and time, there is no magic feather…..and, this really is a good spot for support and assistance.

Good support from folks with good hearts….like yourself.
