Men's ADHD Telephone Support Group

MEN'S ADULT ADHD support group conference call I am interested and committed to starting a men's support group free telephone conference call. If there is already one going, I would like to join it and will not start another. If anyone knows of one, please let me know through the e mail I include below. But if any men are interested in having a conference call support group to talk about ADHD and how it affects our relationships with significant people and women in our lives, please e mail me. My e mail is healingh20water@gmail.com. The "0" is a zero.Please, if you are willing, include your telephone number and I will call you to see if the group will be a fit for you. I am a private individual,not a counselor, although I was a school counselor during my career and have some skills in leading groups. I have a desire to have a structured method, yet open dialogue, for men to cope with ADHD.

I am 63 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 60. I retired at age 60 and it has been a struggle with my wife having me home. I take up her "space" by my just being at home. Lots more details, but that's enough for now. So please e mail me an if there is enough interest, I will create a group where men can call in and talk. Also, if there is any man who would just like to have someone to talk to regularly, I am open to that as well. I forsee from the group, men finding someone they relate to to be able to call and have a "buddy" to share their story with. If this is something for you, please respond soon. My hope is to have the group started by December, beginning with one meeting a week, possibly more if the interest is there.

Men's ADHD Telephone Support Group

Redbudda I am going to be traveling until Feb 21, but will be back home that week and will get back in touch with you. As of now, you are the only one who has shown interest. One other man had, but then he backed out. I don't know why we men are so reluctant to commit to getting some support. fly fisher

Primary concern is getting help

Well I can't speak for the rest of the dudes, maybe they are comfortable in their lives. But I can personally attest that add has cost me a wife, 40 plus jobs, and a fractured relationship with my parents. For the first time in my life I have been unemployed going on almost 7 months. I know I need help.
