I'm a 37 year old student of Graphic Design. I have experienced and survived sexual abuse and am learning how to cope better with ADD. Life is a little rocky right now having gone through some financial and marital difficulty. Very soon we'll be moving in with my husband's family for a while. This will be difficult but I think it's going to be ok.

Sculpting, reading, drawing, anything creative (except cooking, yuck!), learning, reading, science fiction, stupid movies like Sean of the Dead and Army of Darkness, societal movies like Instinct and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Action movies like Raiders of the Lost Arc. Life, love and laughter : )

I was. Until now.
Hey! I haven't seen you on here in forever..how have you been? I actually just started concerta and had a question about it if you were gonna stick around on here..
I woke up thinking about you and a comment a friend of mine made to me once. I was so moved that two of my good friends had driven 300 miles in order to be with me for my first birthday in a new city. I kept saying how much it meant to me and how touched I was. My friend said, you know, I wouldn't do this for just anyone, and you keep saying how great we are, well I wouln't waste time being friends with anyone who wasn't great, so since I'd drive all this way for you, ou must be great too! It stuck with me because at moments when I feel worthless, I look at all of the amazing people in my life and tell myself they wouldn't be here if there wasn't something great about me, even if I can't see it right now. Check out the people who love and care for you, I'd imagine they're pretty awasome...Just a thought :)
I was so happy to hear from you I've been worried and you've been on my mind often. I've been absent from dailystength for a while too. Some times reaching out feels like so much work, and like you said, often you don't get the response you want. I'm trying to change my attitude from expecting the right things from people to sometimes their trying is enough. I'm suprised you think you have trouble connecting, because after our few conversations, you have certianly come to matter to me, and I believe you deserve all the caring and support you need and then some! Funny how our perceptions of ourselves are so different from how others see us, because I feel much the same way you do, and am confused when people care about me. I hope you're feeling better and creating art, you're so talented! Take care. KAI
Feeling less isolated about being a person with ADD. Mental illness is just an illness. Like diabetes. My sister refuses to understand me and that's ok. I found with the use of Concerta and vigerous walking 45 minutes a day I was feeling pretty alert and focused and happy. However winter is here now and I'm not getting my exercise. What a difference!
I have abuse in my past that I don't remember. I have had counseling for this and each time have gotten to a certain level and then things go quiet for me. I think it may be time again to start looking at it.
