Reply To: Generic adderall stopped working?

I don’t get it… can you explain it to me a lil better? only kidding. You give good explanations. It’s likely you understand a lot about what I’ve been dealing with. I wonder why?… lol, only kidding about that “wonder” too. Of course you can relate…

It was a bummer that the times didn’t follow up and tell the whole darn truth about “us ADDers”. But fortunately we’ve got a huge community started here. Lot’s of the folks that have come and gone here, and are still here. It’s just that the visibility and transparency of the Internet makes it really scary for all but the most bold and daring. Or like in my case, those who are in need of a sufficient substitute for the poor health care they receive. The real truth in my case is a lil bit of both. I’m not all that satisfied with my health care. How I see the quality of my health care drastically changed when my life was in danger again only about 4 years ago. I’ll save that story for some other time. But I can tell you this. I’m still alive because of good decisions my G.P. doctor made. Along with many other doctors and the crew here too. Lot’s of Christians helped me tons. I’m sure faith made a huge difference.

There’s a way to break off into smaller support group like settings here. Later on in the future I’m sure we’ll have lot’s of opportunities to have much more private, and/or confidential forums where lot’s of us will be able to talk much more in detail without the entire Internet being able to see what’s going on inside our minds n hearts, we won’t have to worry about folks in our life reading half what we said and jumping to the wrong conclusions. For now. Heck if I cared that much I would never have even posted here the first time. Huh?.

This community did tons to now only keep me alive and hopeful. But the quality of my life has been improved very drastically. Not by any single one of you cats in this Zoo. But the collective effort of more than a hundred folks with ADD/ADHD. Even at a few other places on the net where they have good ADHD support networks.

Heck, tomorrow and wed. I’ll have a couple groups to go to where we all talk about anxiety and depression. Peer support groups of all different kinds help us because IMHO ADHD resides as part of the root cause of many of the human problems we face. Working on the ADHD has made things like depression become a fact of my past, not my future.

In my case. Behind the ADHD was a spiritual malady. What has worked best for me is simple prayer and meditation every morning. Both are good habits that I keep on practicing all throughout the day. I meditate lightly, even as I type. I’ll actually pause, take a deep breath and think a lil bit before I click on the Submit button.

I’ll be much more comfortable hitting that “submit” button when they give us back the edit feature. Guess we haven’t complained enough. I’m not all that bothered by it these days. Part of having ADHD is the ability to accept things that seem impossible. Some stuff is impossible. Other things are just not all that much worth putting that much work into. I guess that’s the case with our long lost edit feature. No bid deal… then whey do I keep talking about it?. Well a big deal will usually turn back into it’s right size when I talk about it honestly and more importantly, try to listen to other viewpoints about the prospective problem. Heck, it may not even be a solvable problem.

I might just be writing all this in hopes of just accepting the loss of our dear friend The Edit Feature.

I hope I didn’t abuse the The Edit Feature. I have a strange tendency to play with thing. I’m a clown. What’s the problem with that?. I bet lot’s of ADDers are natural born clowns. Like Jimi Hendrix. I’ve been watching him on interviews and of course on stage for years. I’m sure he’s a natural born clown. It’s probably part of the ADHD DNA.

If you get frustrated with the fact that they still don’t have an edit feature. Might I suggest listening to Jimi Hendrix in concert at the Stockholm show. 1969

Jimi has a great sense of humor. Listen to his white dude accent at the beginning of the show where he says “I hope you don’t mind”

He’s a natural clown
