In the end, those who want it all get nothing. It's not fun and things continue to go south. The dating situation just gets worse and worse. I think back to being five years old in a toy store and pointing to every toy and piece of candy. What do you want? I want it all. In the end, those who want it all get nothing. The latest travesty (or tragedy) is that I've gotten attached to the 35-year-old swimmer, with whom at the start...Continue Reading »
It's the second time someone has asked me if I've considered going to a shrink. A close friend, who I've been emailing and leaning on for advice on jobs, men, etc., finally emailed back and asked if I've considered psychotherapy. I think she wanted to suggest it for a while, but one is always afraid of offending friends. In the past, I would have cut her off, like a loose string on a sweater – but, at the age of 32,...Continue Reading »
What's wrong with my personality, the impulsivity, the temper? What about all of the good things that I bring to the table? Last night was girls’ night out: frozen margaritas, guacamole, salsa, and all the color and festivity of a night in the big bad apple. It was also a breaking point of sorts. There is too much going on, and the plate cracked. There is the job, the swimming, the part-time gigs, the hunt for the perfect man, the city, the fifth-floor walk up, and a lot...Continue Reading »
I wish there were a pause button — a way to stop everything — once I've overloaded my plate to the brink of collapse. I have been a blog slacker lately. I kind of just checked out. There was the trip to tornado land, where I watched swimming with a swim friend, and then, once again, I fell into the trap of overloading my plate to the point where it's on the brink of collapsing or cracking. Perhaps I've fallen into a mild depression after I was dumped by the...Continue Reading »
She's picky and particular—and sees me as her lifeboat. So, how to help her when I can't handle my own messes? I wonder if my friend Cheryl also has attention deficit disorder. We share a passion for swimming and since we went on our inaugural Thelma and Louise trip together, I’ve discovered that we are like Bobbsey twins. She’s 30 years older than me (“of a different vintage,” she says) and probably 40 pounds heavier, but when I’m with her, I feel like I am looking at...Continue Reading »
Among the 1,001 things on my mind, I forgot to pay my credit card bill. The debt collectors were calling, and I was going to snap. The collection agency called. For an adult with ADD, that god-awful (801) area code stands out like a flash at high noon (my favorite line from The Bell Jar). Deep down I knew that somehow, just somehow, I had screwed it up. There was a lost check, a credit card payment that hadn’t gone through, and a bill forgotten among the 1,001 things that cartwheel in my...Continue Reading » « Adult ADHD Blog (A Woman's Perspective)'s blog « All Blogs |
