hehe, this was fun to read. I couldn’t sleep so I finally got up a couple hours ago. I think we all have different degrees of how busy our brain gets. That’s one of the bigger symptoms I think. It’s embarrassing when I jump around from subject to subject and keep on going farther and farther out in left field. This whole scatterbrain thing that happens with us is also a problem with lots of people who don’t actually have full on ADHD. with us it’s just more severe. Somedays it takes me 2 or 3 times as long to edit/proofread a post as it does to write it in the first place.
I like french fries, I cook em in olive oil so they’re not so unhealthy. For ADHD people I think it’s normal to think about a bunch of other stuff while doing something sorta boring. It’s hard work but when I try to meditate and give all my attention and interest to what’s directly in front of me it becomes more interesting. I have to practice that tons!, it’s possible to calm my brain down but I’m looking foreword to being able to try getting some help with medication. Then maybe I can develop better mental habits like meditation, and focusing on one thing without hyper-focusing. I’m looking foreword to finding myself somewhere in the middle. Being able to relax will also help me deal with chronic pain better.
The health care I get has some extremely slow moving gears, and I’m so dang fed up with waiting for yet another appointment. Our health care system here in California just plain sucks. In more ways that I have the energy to write about.
I’m too grumpy to edit/proofread, so pardon my typos if I do have a few. I’m not a happy camper this morning. This thread did cheer me up some though.
Happy taters.
