Sometimes I purposely use my most annoying voice so people will get irritated and leave me alone. Kind of like a dose of reverse psychology. but I know it backfires when I’m the lonely fool, feeling worse than before, sabotaging myself, and the other person has moved on to more desirable company 😛
REPORT ABUSEHmmm, interesting, Scott
REPORT ABUSESorry to hear about your dilemma buddy. ADHD does rear it’s ugly head at the darnedist times, I know it. I wonder whether the policy is the same in Canada or States? Do your medical records become shared knowledge or will the doctors keep it confidential? Never-the-less, you are under considerable stress! Best consult a doctor for advice. Could you try Concerta or Adderall to get you by? Some have had success with theses meds. Just try not to self medicate like many of us have already done. On the plus side, I just met a wonderful mentor who has significant ADHD and she really makes it work for her. She is a go-getter in the social work and extremely popular because she is approachable and sensitive to people in need. I’m fortunate to have met someone like this and as a result I feel better about my ADHD. It’s not all bad -Hang in there. Peace
REPORT ABUSEAhoy there O.M. Yes, I think I get what you’re saying. Sometimes I feel like that too. Like a volcano bubbling with hot lava but I don’t know what to do with it either so I’m guessing it’s a undiscovered hobby or talent to be announced? At times I think I need a resourceful mentor who would show me how to make something and inspire me. On my own I feel pretty useless, but the hope deep inside never gives up and knows there must be something out there for me. Do you understand this? With imagination the possibilities are endless. I often wonder if I could survive years of solitary confinement and remain intact. I really don’t know how resilient I am, and find that it is a scary concept. When I compare myself to others, I think they are much stronger than I am and I lack whatever they got. Do you wonder about this too? Maybe I think too much. I am a crazy weirdo too so I appreciate where you’re coming from 🙂
REPORT ABUSEThat’s alright. Y’know, I really wish I had admitted it to my college already because I am struggling big time! I just threw all the patio furniture off my deck after trying to write a submission for homework and experienced setbacks. I wonder what my neighbors think of me. Anyways, I am having a hard time finishing my courses and living on the edge. My teacher is putting the heavy on me and I had to rewrite my assignment as she did not like it. Then when I was done redoing it, the computer crashed before I saved it!!! Grrr. I would also recommend telling one’s school ASAP. I appreciate your sound advice.
REPORT ABUSEI like your name ,hahaha. Oh I fully second this motion to get this certification, I think you’re on to something good here. Shoot high, my friend, shoot high. Wouldn’t it be delightful if this idea worked? Please let me know after you try! Funny cuz I’m a rehab worker with people who have had traumatic brain injuries and I often asssit them in their bedroom cleaning. I feel like an imposter tho as my house looks like a cyclone hit it, but I find the hand-outs I use to help them, such as broken down steps of what to next, very helpful! I would be lost without these aids , let me tell you!
REPORT ABUSEWow Decanus, my socks are rotting over the injustice of your situation. It shows society still has a LONG way to go in terms of enlightenment and education about neuro-diversity. my suspected fears were confirmed in your example which is why I stayed hush about myself at work and school but it’s backfiring for I am depressed, anxious and really struggling to over compensate…so that being said, I admire your spirit and intentions to be transparent about yourself….I hope someone can offer better advice to you as far as your HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION go, that would be a breakthrough to fight and win your cause and make for CHANGE, and I think you’d be a great candidate to try! My thoughts are with you my dear and I am rooting for you. And thanks for explaining your job, I thought it was very interesting.
REPORT ABUSEHello Bri, I enjoyed being enlightened at Gage Park last week about CBT. My guests liked it too. Very pro like, my friend. Thanks for all your effort for making a great support group and I like your blog. Someday I will contribute (after I conquer my ‘inner debbie downer’) Hehe. Hug4U. Bye for now
REPORT ABUSEHello there Baj, sorry to hear about your crummy experience. Personally I think you need a second (third, fourth, etc.) chance with a few ‘heads ups’ beforehand. I try to give gentle reminders to people often as I appreciate getting them myself! As for my self esteem coming from my loved ones? Uh, no, it ain’t happening. I figured this out awhile ago and have since taken courses that interest me and found jobs that I pour myself into and give me satisfaction. Don’t get me wrong Baj, I’m not saying you ought to do this too, but to be quite honest, for me it was a lifesaver. As for meds, yes I tried them too for a few days and became an intense version of myself. I was like a pit bull that couldn’t let go of something, and I couldn’t handle me like this. lol. Talk later?
REPORT ABUSEhahaha, you have an interesting family tree Larynxa 🙂 I love candy apples. One day about five years ago, I bought a dozen for my kids to have when they would get home from school, then I set about studying for an exam…shockingly, due to stress, I ate every one of them before the kids came home and was sick as a dog…don’t worry, I went back out and got them more! Also, when I was around seven yrs. old, my dad worked in a supermarket. One day the bubble gum machine full of prizes broke and he brought them home in a huge bag to hand out at school the next day…well, I learned about human nature and popularity during my 15 minutes of fame, let me tell you!
REPORT ABUSEThanks Lindsey! Now I don’t feel so bad (misery does loves company -hehe) I couldn’t believe it last week after I ate a Shawarma, I actually needed a shower! (not a good food choice if on a first date)
REPORT ABUSEOh yeah, thankful ever so much for great tunes to get me through the day!!!
REPORT ABUSEI’m grateful for this fine summer day. Also I’m relieved to have completed my Case Manag’t assign’t. What a load of BS off my chest! Whew, feel human again.
REPORT ABUSEStart now, finish later, or maybe never!

HI tk0317, you seem to have an exhuberant outlook on life which is nice. It beats depression anyday. I put a link for a free program in Australia that you can customize depending on your needs. You do a quiz and see what you might want to work on. I just found out how anxious I was. I guess I underestimated it. Give it a try if you like! And take care 🙂
