Re: My Blog!

[quizzical]

Tiddler, I enjoyed your latest entry!

I still haven’t figured out how to post comments anonymously on your blog; unlike you, I’m still keeping my diagnosis under my hat for the most part, at least for now. And since I’m already on Blogger with my real name – complete with photo! – I don’t know how to post comments without all that showing up.

I don’t actually have a blog on Blogger, but I’m following someone else’s, and in that instance I wanted the person to know who I was, as a show of support. But it seems that now my name and face are attached to everything related to Blogger now.

So for now, I’ll put my reactions here. The bit about anxiety causing the ADHD behavior really resonated with me; I noticed that a lot as well. In fact, one of the things I was most anxious about all summer was “Do I have ADD or not?” I was soooooo preoccupied with it, and consequently I was losing sleep and making goofs every which way! And when I’d tune out in conversations, it was usually because I was thinking something related to ADD. It was almost as if the idea of it was GIVING me the condition. Rationally speaking, I know that’s not true, but stressing out definitely made the symptoms worse.

Wishing a speedy recovery to your friends’ son. Glad to hear the outlook is good!
