This site has helped me alot!! | ADHD Information

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you, this site has helped me feel so much better about myself. I feel like I am normal to some degree now.  I had really begun to thin there was something wrong with me, ecspecially that I was just really lazy and not able to control my self very well, or that I had no will power.

I have had so many fights over issues I now have found out are normal to other add'ers. Thank you so much. I think my marriage is really going to improve because of your site. I think I will be able to work onmyself much better now, and be able to start to look at things my husbands says from a less "fight back" way, and maybe see soem of the things for my add, not a defect in myself and resolve to just do things differntly.

It is much easier to accept something once you understand why.

So I just wanted to offer any small token of my appreciation to anyone who might want it.  Thank you all and keep up the good posts.

I sell, Avon, Home Interiors, and BEauticontrol Spa stuff,  (can't you just tell how add I am) anyone who is interested, I will offer 20% off any order if they would like. So if you want to save some time for some x-mas gifts or maybe something special for the non-add person in your life that puts up with us. Ha ha.

You sound just like me Mom+2 .

I'm an ADHD mum with 2 with ADHD too ( although I do have 3 boys that are biologically mine and 1 step son, so 4 boys in total ) . We'll have to talk sometime.

I only came here a short time ago and have experienced the same as you...... And really when all is said and done, what is "normal"? Normal is being who you are and where created to be. The rest is nothing more than a society who are too affraid to be who they are so they hide behind masks and tell everyone else they are wrong. 

You even sound like me with the catalogue stuff only I'm just starting to, or rather, trying to give it all up to try..... TRY and be more peaceful and do less running around......   .

Glad you and Hubby are sorting through it.

hi nice to meet you

yes we have 3 boys and 1 girl in total. 4 all together. I still plan to have more kids just not yet. Some days I think I have had it with my husband but we are both too stuborn in the end to ever divorce. I think that stubborness is a blessing. I know we love each other, so that helps.

I would have killed to have this information years ago though. I am looking at problems we have fought about for years ina whole new light. I am thinking more about the way I really do things and can see soem things that I want to change. I am a believer in self improvement, cause at least if you can't change the world around you you can change how you feel about it, right.

I think this is going to be my down time from now on. The other posts are so cool to see. I know normal is not something you need to strive for per say, it is just that so many of the things I have been dealing with all of my life, you know I felt at many time the whole blond thing fit so often, yet I am so smart at so many things too. So it just seemed like a character flaw inmyself.

And when my husband tells me things about myself I always take it as war, I take them as a personal attack, not an attack on the actual issue or item. Now I am feeling better that there are some of these things just not under my control and I can now say that, you know that is just not how my brain thinks. He actaully said that o me the other day. "I just don't understand how you think" , the funny thing is until recently I didn't either, so now I am beginning to and it feels great.

It feels empowering to feel like there is hope for you, to get your life under you own control. I am surprised at how I have addapted so many things inmy lkife with out even knowing I had the adhd to how I should be dealing with them. But you know it has taken me years and years and many mistakes and times of crying and breaking down to get to those results. Yeah, I would of liked to have had someone tell me those things long time agao, I could saved myself soem heartache. Right.

But I am an optimistic person, there is light always at the end what ever the situation. I have found so many of the good qualities regarding the adhd that i have, so it is good to focus on the good things and just figure out you can get around the bad things or wipe them out entirely.

So I am looking forward to getting to know people on here.  If you are in Avon, Or Home Interiors, or Beauticontrol, and need any help let me know. Sorry I don't know how I did that typing I accidently hit something.  I didn't mean it to be bold like that, nice to met you again, amy
