Mags,
You have no idea how relieved I am to know that I'm not the only one who has these 'irresponsible' habits. I can get so down on myself and frustrated because I know better. I'm beginning to see the light that these behaviors are a product of some weird syndrome we suffer from and not due to some horrible shortcoming. The thing is that I am very talented and could probably put these artsy crafty things to very good use - another Georgia O'Keefe - if only I could concentrate long enough. Or slog through the piles of boxes and stuff to find the darn items I need when I'm wildly inspired. I also wonder about ADD, but what's in a name? It's all just degrees of the same malfunction. Well good. Connect those circuits in our brains and watch out World!

The reason I'm so interested in ECT is that I'm coming to believe that medication has the unfortunate effect of lag time. By the time the receptors are duly affected, our chemistry has moved on to new things. I think that resetting our brain's circuits via electric or magnetic means is the key and I hope they figure out how to do it right in our lifetimes. We're rooting for you - what an adventure. Also, if you could let us know when you'll be going in, there's a few of us here who wouldn't mind putting in a good word for you in our daily good thoughts. - Barbara
