>I think I maby growing outta this ADHD a bit though Im not as hyper as I used to be hence gaining weight but I wonder if thats caused by the fact that I have a 15month old and a 3 1/2 year old to wear me out.I can still party anyone under the table though still going till 6am and not having any drugs or alcohol (never did it never will never had too) I think Im loony enough straight. I have realy had to work hard at remembering things and organising myself...you have to with two little ones other wise you'd be stuck in all day.
I find cold and flu pills make me silly though its the psuedoeffedrine (I thinks thats how you spell it)So if I take one I have to pre-warn my hubby that Imight not be myself for the day. OHH its fun to be weird though you get away with wearing weird clothes and doing silly things and people just seem to accept you more. I am a self confessed Geek and I love it!Im a trend setter not a follower. Ohh hear I go babbling again.....gotta go shopping now....ciya soon.Melle
I'm having a lot of fun with this ADHD thing- they only told me about it a month ago, so i missed out on my entire ADHD childhood. i do a lot of asking stuff out of the blue and changing topics a lot. i also mess up words, and have little streaks of hyperness, which are so much fun, i wish i had more.

> > After reading your post, Melle, & Teva's too, it's kind of comforting to think of others like us. Can you imagine a group of women with ADHD getting together for a slumber party? We'd be like a pan of popcorn popping - bouncing off the walls all night. I have a good friend with ADHD & sometimes we can have such a blast together.

> > My abysmal organisational skills are a real bother to me, but I wouldn't ever want to be non-ADHD for anything. It sure can make one feel very alive, can't it? At least while the stimulation mode is on. Otherwise, without it, my motor's barely idling.

> > > > So Jeanna, you have ADHD too? Your little comment (below) is so funny but so true. I can flip back & forth between different subjects mid-sentence so often that friends can have trouble figuring out what I'm saying. And I make the exact sound "ooohh!" whenever I see something that excites me & break stride in whatever I'm thinking, saying, or doing.

> > > Hi Im new to this news group and was just reading this thread when it struck me as funny and true in the same. I too am a "brain dumper" as I call it and often people ask me if Im "on something"...to which I reply "nah just life". Often finishing a sentence outloud or asking someone a question about a subject we havent been talking about but I have been mulling it over in my head. Its funny to see their faces like "wha" or "huh" they look like the weirdo not me haha.I always wondered if I had ADHD as a child. I consider myself pretty smart but couldnt concentrate on anything long enough in school to do well at anything realy in particular just good all round. I was always known as the class clown and was often in trouble for disturbing others and talking too much ohh and being a wise ass. Any fellow ADHD people relate to this one? It would be interesting for me to compare myself and my traits to others out there. Thanks for listening and I hope I can make some new and interesting friends here.
