Tonight I was once again a half an hour late to that weekly ADD research session at the hospital. I'm one of six human guinea pigs (ADD adult participants), there at the beck and call of psychiatrists who want to study adult ADD people and figure out why we are so absent minded and ditzy. I came in and saw candy on the table, ahhh a Halloween treat I thought. The doctor who runs the research sessions is a funny looking character with his geeky...Continue Reading »
It was Halloween today, a holiday for people with a social life and families, for dressed-up dogs and babies... ...and here I am sitting in the expensive shoebox sized apartment, $1350 each month, roommate from hell, a TV hog.

This time the pow wow was at Gregory's, a long-key Starbucks-look alike near Union Square, rather than Cosi where the music literally drowns out all thoughts. We had two repeats and three new people, including a really strange man who was fixated on the idea that I am a part-time swim instructor. One of the repeats is Kevin a...Continue Reading »
I feel like a college kid again waving the acceptance letter to her first choice college. Only in this case I found out that I've made it into the Mt. Sinai free ADD research program, I guess my ADD is that bad. But for the first time I feel like I am getting something free out of having this disorder, and besides we get paid to be guinea pigs right. ...Continue Reading » « Adult ADHD Blog (A Woman's Perspective)'s blog « All Blogs |
