Should there be a Chatroom on this site

Sorry for voting no. I seem to be in the minority. However, I find chat very addictive and I have literally wanted to "spend a few minutes" at night chatting and ended up being disturbed by the birds chirping outside my window as the sun comes up.

One of the side effects of ADD, I have a very addictive personality. I can hyperfocus and go to the extreme with just about anything. I find the best solution for me is "all or nothing." In fact, I've never bought a lottery ticket or been inside a casino out of fear of what might happen! (Considering what I've been through with food, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs among other things, this is not just a phobia.)

If you decide to add a chat, it would be really nice if it could be on a different page or something.

Are you looking for live ADD Chat?

Here are some websites which offer live ADD Chat:

ADD Consults (http://addconsults.com/digichat/) offers live chat. There are scheduled, active, moderated chats on Monday and Thurday evenings. Unmoderated chatrooms are open 24/7 but are not as active as the scheduled chats .

ADD Forums (www.addforums.com/forum) offers live ADD Chat to its registered members. There are both open chats and chats about specific topic. The ADD Forums Chatroom is becoming more and more active.

Yahoo (http://chat.yahoo.com/?room=A.D.D.%20Support) has a very active ADD Support chat room. Please be advised that this chat is not moderated and things can a get a bit crazy in this room at times.

I'd die if I had access to a chatroom filled with people who won't shutup.
Could you imagine sticking like 30 ADD ADHD people in a room and try to direct a discussion?
It'd be impossible.
But fun.
I vote yes.

	Should there be a Chatroom on this site Or could you tell me the address of a add support group with a chatroom if possibleI have the same problem WiteKnite (with the addictive personality and hyperfocusing). However, I think a chatroom would be an excellent idea. I have had a few times where I just felt like I was going to explode/melt down. I have friends and family there for me, but I want to talk to someone whos gone/going through the rollercoaster life of ADHD. Thats just my two cents. Sorry for voting no.

Though what the first 2 posting say about it being addictive is true.. But it is hard to find may people with the same issues as most of us have....its is only mentally addictive if you let it become mentally addictive... understand you have a choice whether you chat or not. And if you think you should cut down do so! This was just in the "livingwithadd.com" ezine I received this morning. Are you looking for live ADD Chat?
