    • About Me

      I've built a wall, not to keep people out, but to see who loves me enough to climb over.

      Mood July 26, 2009 11:38am

      I'm so tired of the sarcasm. The biting words. The jabs all the freaking time. Nothing I say or do is right or good enough & yet I'm the idiot that …

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I'm here for support for the rougher days. =) And to learn new things. I'm constantly researching & eager to learn.

      Treatments

      Focalin Working / Worked
      It's being used for my 8 y/o son. I don't want to use stronger medication. Want something to "take the edge off" so to speak & help him learn additional ways of living with ADHD.
      Research Working / Worked
      A continuous work in progress. Some things I learn work. Some don't.
    • Close Codependency

      Because I can't seem to break free of my marriage & leave. We keep repeating the same tired patterns over & over again. I know I'm playing a part in it & I want to learn my part & stop doing it so that I can finally break free & make a REAL life for myself & my children.

      Treatments

      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Helped me some traits I demonstrate myself that contribute to the problem & some that are completely his & that there's nothing I do to trigger them at all.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Helps somewhat but eventually people that aren't in the situation don't understand why it's not so easy to just leave.
    • Open Life After Divorce

      Because I think part of my fear is the unknown. What will it be like once I am divorced? What can I expect? How will I raise my children? Eventually, if I'm in another relationship, how will that effect my children?
