I’ve waited a long time to say anything, not that I have anything profound or useful to say.
The first post by an “unregistered anonymous” person was a bit shocking, not necessarily because of the swearing but because of the aggressiveness of it, that’s how it came across to me. So when I see that sort of thing, I don’t respond. No sense in fanning the fire, and in my experience, someone in that state of mind just wants to be mean and nasty. I’ve been there, you just want to dump it on someone or something. You’re looking for an adversary to release all of that pent-up energy. You don’t want to hear anything else, again from personal experience.
The other thing that came to mind is that this post is somewhat representative of those on the site who have more severe ADHD and co-morbid conditions and disorders – NOT that everyone in that situation comes across that way – but just that you’re out there too, struggling with work or not being able to work, struggling to get diagnosed or being diagnosed with meds that don’t help, etc. Sometimes that makes me feel as though I shouldn’t be here or post about how well I am doing with this or that.
Then trashman came along with his potluck analogy, and I realized we all belong here, even the people who feel like crap.
So today I am thanking Rick and Dr J and Jimi and everyone who has put this forum and website together and contributed to it. Someone said this forum is very different, it’s not clinical, it’s more user-friendly, it’s definitely very active, and I feel like I belong here, even if the family here is slightly dysfunctional 
I talk too much, so now I am going to shut up.
