Re: To Err Is Human, To Dwell On It Is ADD

Megatron,

Ive read your posts in a few different places and I gotta say, I think you need new freinds! Youve said that they are wierded out by you talking about a.d.d and the process you are going through, and now you are saying that they make fun of you for being crafty (o.k, my keyboard is doing something wierd, and wont let me type a question mark, so just pretend its there because I can`t figure it out!)

I am a crafty person, among many other things, but my freinds think its cool! I make recycled fashions and my girlfriends are practically banging down my door for my stuff. Didnt your freinds get the memo that crafting is hip (question mark!)

Please, ditch these people! You seem like a really nice girl with a lot of creative ability, not to mention, youve managed to put yourself through school and find a cool job. Those are things I have never been able to do, despite how much Ive really wanted to earn a degree. I could never keep a crappy job long enough to afford school, and since I have defaulted on a student loan long ago, I couldnt get anymore pell grants unless I could start paying it steadily, and I couldnt do that because I couldnt keep a job....etc. etc. etc. Giant and tragic catch 22. And thats all beside the other issue just trying to be a good student with a.d.d. (which at times I could be a damn fine student)

Now back to you: I told you that story because you should be so damn proud of yourself! O.K you beat yourself up doing it, but you did it. Ditch these people in your life who dont appreciate you and how hard youve worked for everything; they are draging your self-esteem down.

With love from a complete stranger.
