OK, @Scattybird, I’l try again……
I wrote a whole long reply to you and then the forum “wiped it out” so I
needed to EXHALE and wait until  a few hours had passed so I could try again.
I like your suggestions of attitude towards Meditation.. Thanks
Might help me be more successful and Gentel with myself and ease into it…

I’m still trying to discover what things re MEW vs what things are ADD.
Most of the time thngs thsat delay me are due to some chroic illnesses I have that cause me to sleep 18hrs a day for months..then it shifts to a 12 hr sleep cycle, that is Totally UpsideDown day/night-wise… then Eventually when it’s ready, it
Finally  does the Big Flip so I’m awake during the day and sleeping at night..
As long as I can stay Calm and “Pace myself” and NOT get Stressed and ONLY get Vertical and venture out “one day a week” for NO longer than 6 hours…
I can get outside these 4 white wall.. but last Dec 1st I OverDid and have
been going thru this P.E.M. Crash (as we call it) until about 3 weeks ago…
So it’s like Full Bore “catch-up” from that, rather than Procratination… “currently.” But Have NO Fear… when  even OK, I DO have a Procrastinaom issue on other topics.. That I KNOW I will eed to learn how to use these techniques with.. Just trying to decipher me from the ADD first 😀

Question: When I do this online screening test… Do I answer the questions
AS IF I have noit learned any copig skills and just answer from a place a raw emotions ad tughts, OR do I answer it including the coping skills I’ve discovered over the decades ? This is my last question Before I do the test…
Just need how to approach it.. I read about how many people did so differently on the test… so it made me think maybe it had to do with their aproach also ?
Thoughts/Suggestions ? Anything appreciated. Thx♥

Have had a rough week, due to other outside issues, Plus had a good thing…
a Helper came to Help me Friday and Suday Finally get some yardwork done such as raking up Fall leaves to start with.. and take some trash+ reCycyleable things out.. Helps to clean up the inside of the house also.. So made some progress, ut my physical body will hurt and pay for it the next 2-3 days.. and
I took my last Ibuprophen yesterday *Sigh* Pain causes me to sleep also…
Maybe I can “uncover some” in a safe place  I put some.. You know those “logical places ” LOL > wish me luck 😀

Hope you had a Great week…
Beautiful Spring here flowers blooming and everything…
*in Garatitude* 😀

I wish we could “make comments” o some of the sifferent posts in this thread..
so the “train of thought” and whom we were replyng to would visually appear to make more sence.. Kind of like an indented Tree Viaual Thread .. Did that make any sense ? Also what are the code numbers next to eacpost there for ?
Are we suppose to refer to those numbers for some reason, at some specific time?
I think it can also depend on how we are feeling as in wide awake or exhausted as to how we respond sometimes.. We may be rambling and dyslexic if tired, or if wide awake might be hyperfocalizing on the topic, ya think ?
I like it when people have a few questions that they number them
and then we can reply using the #’s and everyone can know which question we are referring to… Just my 2 cents 😀
*Cheers*

Yah, even in the USA the Best Comedians were the ones that could inteligently use the language w/o “explitives deleted” and still get an actual belly chuckle out of us… I know OR I hear that our sense of humor is different yet I also know whe enjoy some of the same comedians….I’m just sorry that our TV didn’t carry some of the UK programs and we only get them on our PBS Stations like now programs like Downton Abbey, but as for humor I would have loved to see that old program that Hugh Laurie was in… I absolutle love him even now thru all of his incarnations. I miss over here hearing more of the comedians that used the words of our language and literally disected them or their defintions of the pulics usage of them… like Jerry Seinfeld, even Originally George Carlin who said “I bought a ticket to fly somewhere and when boarding time comes they ask me to Get ON the Plane… I want to get IN the plane.” etc…. On a little rougher note I even sadly miss cuz he’s getting older Billy Connelly~ He use to literally make my ribs hurt from laughing..
So does Robin Williams, but then I’m in CA and undertsand most of his references… I always preferred their “cleaner shows” as opposed to when the were in the Night Clubs and were expected to do a more “Adult Show.” I think it takes more Intelligence to get a belly chuckle w/o the “Adult Language” but some could even so do it tastefully… I must confess the LP Album I bought for humor was Carlin’s AM/FM when it was New, so I guess that dates me 😀
I hadn’t heard of Tom Lehrer until someone showed me this video last week.. Dang, just looked him up, I probably also heard a LOT of his stuff here but didn’t know it.. I watched this show all the time back then.. “In the 1960s, he produced a number of songs dealing with social and political issues of the day, particularly when he wrote for the U.S. version of the television show That Was The Week That Was.” Well, I learned my “one new thing for today Already” .. That’s one of my goals, so I this was a perfect was to start the day, with Comedy 🙂 NO Green Beer for me today tho… Thanks for educating me more on Lehrer!

OK, I’ll post just to see if I can  SEE the “edit” non-button ?
And Thx @Larynxa for “the Perfect Strangers ~ Dance of Joy”
I forgot how much I enjoyed that program and Balki..
Great to see it again.. wish it was in reruns late at night 😀
The wierder part is Why did I always Identify with Balki ?
Maybe cause we are Each all “Uneeq” already ?
One of my Motto’s has always been,
“Why Be Normal? that’s only Average, Be Uneeq !!”
Thought….
Would be Heavenly if the Admins ever let us have a
“Sig file” that would show up under each of our posts ♥

PS: I submitted and SAW the Edit button 😀
Muchas Gracias, Dzekuje, Thank You ♥

Thanks @magster I guess what I really meant was…
Can the regular members of the Pacific Zone Group
SEE “this Forum” w/o me having to post a link in a Topic ?
I’m wondering How and Where this shows up for people…
Not just if you can read the Topic/Info once I have sent you the
URL for the link…

I’ve been AWAKE + working 10-14hrs daily for the last 10 days now
and my Brain and Body are getting tired… I think I need to “sleep-in”
this weekend.. Watched 2 more webinars tonight and that was after doing all of the business chores/phone calls today/stock trading and then tonight processing some images and getting the order in online Before my Special Coupons expired at midnight… even took a 2 hr nap earlier…
Sorry I seem to post at night and I’ve been re-reading some of my posts and am noticing that w/o a “spell-check” it’s not catching my dyslexia that shows up when I get tired, so please excuse that and my missing keyboard keys ~ LOL
PLease reply HERE to this post, OK ?
Thanks muchly 😀

Dr J~ Some help and clarification needed please.

Your PBS program and this website KNOWS “way more” than my Dr does.. I socred 9 out of 9 on the adult attention test. However, I am now 61 and have have learned numerous copicng techniques, but also see where I could have been forcusing more on my strengths had I known all of this.

My issue now ~ I also have at this age of course a few other bioMedical issues and have also experienced MANY traumatic events, averaging 2every years for the last 12 yrs, with quite a few before that. I have never been depressedbecause I think I channeled the energies into Positive activities, but those in turn caused other issues to flare up.

#1) My Dr had Rx’d the mild form of Ritalin ( which we did find in mu dad’s dresser after his death in 1981) We think he took that in the AM and Valium in the PM, but never told us.. I also know he seeked out alternative therapies like acupuncture, etc..

I am normally not suppose to take stimulants like caffeine because they flare up my adrenaline. Will Ritalin in the mildest short time dose also flare my adrenaline or just help me calm down and focus.?

#2) I have also been told that Ritalin might increase my blood pressure. Are there any statistics on this? I ask because I also have OI/POTS ever shince a head-on car accident 4 yrs ago and when I stand up my BP drops in half, so if I am to be Vertical for more than 20 min up to 3 hours I must take Midodrine to raise my BP so I will get oxygen to my brain. My Dr does not have any experience with these, so other than to talk to my pharmacist and take my BP ocassionally do you have any resources or suggestions ? It seems like the Midodrine lasts 4 hours and the Ritalin they tell me last 6 hours ? I have NEVER had high BP issues, but would rather error on the side of caution. Any info you could provide would be DEEPLY appreciated.

PS: I will be geting my Rx next week and would prefer to know some info B4 I start, so I can proceed informed. Thx

with sincere gratitude~
