I try hard to communicate my needs in my relationship, but the harder I try the greater of a mess it becomes. If intuition is such a powerful gift then why do I feel that on one hand my intuition is as sharp as a dog's, and on the other hand it is totally off base. My gut sense about The Boyfriend and the new ADHD boss remain ambiguous. They are as hard to read as Greek. I try hard to communicate to them my needs, but the...Continue Reading »
My ADHD doesn’t just bring every day challenges, but the challenge of overcoming an already dark past mixed with a lot of anger. Aside from my ADHD there is a greater demon -- a checkered past. The history starts with my mother. For whatever reasons she was never there when I was growing up. Maybe it was my sister who was born sick and required two kidney transplants, maybe it was her own disorder. Whatever the reason within the entire tsunami of issues, my problems and issues were overlooked. I...Continue Reading »

So Chatterbox Boss starts telling me about the gadget...Continue Reading »
There's a new boss and he claims he has ADHD. There is a new boss. He came in from left field several weeks ago, and serves as "the Great White Hope" and a shield to my colleague and I from the top She-boss. He is as middle America as Wonder Bread, and kind of resembles the Pillsbury Doughboy. He's as energetic as an overeager puppy, and from day one he whirlwinded in and amongst the pile...Continue Reading »
I still can't bring myself to fess-up to the boyfriend about my ADHD. Spent New Year's with the boyfriend. We braved the winter chill by holing up in the apartment with DVDs, popcorn and the promise of a new year. For the first time in a while I didn't think about resolutions. In the adult ADHD world, every day has the feel of New Year's--promises made and promises broken. Despite all of the holiday cheer and festivities, inside a...Continue Reading » « Adult ADHD Blog (A Woman's Perspective)'s blog « All Blogs |
