Just a thanks for this forum! | ADHD Information
I quite agree. It always seemed like I was the only oddball in the world...
Now I've met all you people!
Mark -
You callin me a freak?
A big DITTO for me!
I didn't know people like me existed! It's such a wonderful feeling knowing I haven't been completely off my nut all this time.
Likewise
This is a godsend for me. People understand what I'm going on about. THANKS HEAPS!
Every once in a while I feel a need to thank goodness for this forum, and especially for all of you!!Everyone here is so supportive and non-judgmental of one another. I feel a camaraderie I have never felt before...EVER! I feel like you're all friends I've had forever, but only just met.
YOU ALL!!
April 3, 2005 I just thought I'd bring up this topic again because I do feel this forum has been an excellent tool for me in accepting others for who they are, and trying not to be judgmental. I know it takes practice to not be judgmental, and hope I've never come across like that to others here. If I have, I apologize. You're such a great group of people. It's a place where we know can be ourselves, accepted for who we are, and feel safe sharing just about anything without being judged. And we do seem to need one another.
Some of you disappear for a while, and it's always nice seeing you again when you reappear. New members join every day, and it's always a pleasure getting to know you.
Thanks again, for the best of the best Board!GypsyWomyn38445.5273611111
A big ditto from me also. Ive been here for a while, ive been fighting through utter confusion. ADHD, Bipolar, sometimes I don't know what I am. I think I'm going crazy because no one around can understand (or even try) what the heck I'm talking about. Then I come on here. It set's my mind to rest, leaving the unexplained to be explained. Having a mental illness is such a double edged sword that I wouldn't give up for the world. Because it is me!
I do not have ADD but live with two that do. My husband of almost 10 years who has not gotton help for himself and my 5 year old daughter who who was recently diagnosed in November. I too love this website it gives me support as well and understanding. All the fights I have had with the husband over the years and things he does makes sense. I am trying to get him to get help and to register himself on this website. I go back and forth between the adult and child link. I have been doing lots of research and reading to understand.
As for the help I am still working on the husband.
I just arrived here this morning but feel I've had answered prayer. I feel so alone but now I know there's others like me and hopefully I can be of some support to others too.

I agree with all of you. I have been a member for a couple of months and you have helped me answer some internal struggles. Although I have not been formally diagnosed, I have 2 children that do have ADD. I just know they must have gotten it from me. My husband is just so opposite of me and of ADD characteristics.I think that this board is positive and helpful when people are feeling depressed, angry or different than others.
I resolved many issues by coming here. Some issues by posting and most by just reading what others have to say. I feel happier.
Thanks everyone.

I too love this board, although sometimes I come across to harsh and am quickly put in my place. I just take it with a grain of salt, and an occasional margarita! (tee hee) I thank everyone for making a daily battle not seem like such a tough one. Big hugs to all of you....

I also value this board. I look forward to getting on to read your new posts. I feel like it's a place where we can be honest about our lives with this condition. It's a great meeting place.
I agree. This forum is pretty neat. I never knew all of my behavior was just like other people somewhere.I love this board as well. This is the first time I have found other people like me, and I don't feel wierd or alone any more. I really enjoy the huge diversity of opinions and feelings, and the acceptance of all. Thanks everyone!i too am very grateful for finding this site. i can't begin to express how much relief i get from reading what all of you go through. especially because it is what i go through.
i have periods of immense sadness because i have been different all my life, and have not been able to be very successful in life because of it.
so it is a huge relief to hear so many, from so many places, talk about these little idosyncracies that have plagued me my entire life. i can almost feel normal when i know i'm not the only one struggling to make it through the day in a world designed by what feels to me like an alien race.
so- my best to all of you and thank you so much for all your insights and sharing. it provides some relief i have been desparate for.
