He also headed up a small company which he ran with assiistance for his attention defecits. Bright guy, very committed and in much better shape since he has gotten in this last relationship. Few dips into depression cuz he looks after himself better.

> Up & down still...expermenting with Wellbutrin...Hi,
My grandmother's farm is outside of Pugwash, right on the ocean. The farm has never even had a telephone, and now just this super-duper computer and my cell phone.
Committment could be fine for me; I'm not afraid of it. I just would never want a conventional one (women generally end up doing the majority of the petty crap- housework, babies, etc).Everyone just assumed that since I didn't seem to be oriented this way that I must have a problem with it, I think especially since i am a woman. I'm not sure why but women tend to be more relationship oriented than men (probably biology for baby making at work). I've just been reading about ADHD and it's common for these people to be a bit eccentric and restless; it's 'my way' or no way sort of thing. Tons of people with ADD get committed and have little ADD babies (my mother, for example). I'm just glad I didn't spend hours trying to figure out why I didn't search out or seem to want committment - people seem to assume that this is a problem. I like monogamous relations but what is, IS.
health means putting myself on a strict schedule, eating nutricious meals regularly, you know, exercising. Actually I haven't had depression for the past 6 months (this is the first time in my life since i was 12), since I've been on Dexedrine for aDD. But I want to try Wellbutrin for my trichotillomania and SAD. I have to see a new psychiatrist here. Small town, don't want the news to get out. I'm never sure how these people think, I probably stand out like a whacko nut here.
What about all your research and stuff? Are you making any lifestyle changes or are you waiting for the pill to kick in? Janice.
