Does anyone here have a huge a problem with change? I really really freak out when a change occurs and when my routine is disturbed.

i have 3 children all with adhd as well as other mental health issues and when i switch even the tiniest thing out of there routine there days all go to hell just something like there use to brushing there teeth right after breakfast and i make them brush there teeth after they get dressed...something that small will throw there whole day off, so we stopped changing things like that in there routine's after we realized that it affected them as much as it did!

I am a routine girl too. I have to follow my routine in the mornings. It's the only way I can get ready and get to work before my Concerta starts working. My son also has problems with change. He always stuggles the first 3 weeks or so of school. Once he gets the routine down he's fine.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
