Hi toofat and others–did you think I had totally disappeared? Well, almost! I got a really nasty virus/malware on my computer, and couldn’t use it for a week, and lost alot of stuff. And got really behind in my work, and just had a general downer. I have just got back from it and was trying to find the forum where I had been writing–couldn’t remember which one! Now I’ve found all our old (3 weeks) correspondence, and have re-read them. Thanks for reading all my whining and making all your suggestions. I am getting started in many different directions, and the therapist (I think she is more like a coach) is helping, too. But I feel like it is getting worse–she says it is because I have suddenly become aware of my ADD–had been doing pretty well with it when I didn;t know I had it . I am writing a journal which I send to her regularly. I actually stopped meditation because I was having such a hard time to stay focussed–that’s where the monkeys came from! Meditation is supposed to quiet them, but mine are really stirrred up these days.
I will find a doctor who will prescribe meds for me, if things don’t start to improve soon.
My therapist is trying to find more research on ADD and the elderly (I hate that word) because there are not too many undiagnosed cases of ADD among the elderly, but the number is increasing, and in the next few years t here may be more and more of us. I see them everywhere!! I may have to start a new topic about research. I don’t know how the tags work–there’s alot I don’t understand about a site like this–I am still learning.
I just posted another topic re omega3, because I would like an expert opinion on that–the ratio, dosage, etc.–and what I can expect from it. Thanks again. See you later.
