Had a better day today

Happy to report whatever mini funk I was in yesterday has mostly evaporated today. Don't get me wrong my apartment is in a royal mess. The ADD and organization do not go hand in hand. Try as I might all I ever seem to do is move piles! I'm hoping this fall is my Mom's health permits she will visit me and help set up my kitchen. When I was younger she helped me organize my earlier apartments. God bless her for doing so because I sure can't. Even if I do suceed in some sort of organization it falls in a disray in less than a week. The nuisance of my ADD is what's really bring me down currently. It gets tiring going in the same circles. I really have been actively seeking an ADD specialist or coach to help me learn how to do that and manage my time more effectively. Because well meaning advice from friends and family are mostly useless and annoying unless they understand ADD they have no idea how unbearable it can be at times.
I try not to complain because most of the time I like being me as a Deafie with ADD, I cannot be happy any other way. Its so interesting and stimultaneously depressing to realize on how much my ADD gets in the way of my potential and desire to be a better ME all around.
As you can see I'm not totally all the way back to happy go lucky self, that will arrive tmw :]

Jen, Dave has books. Driven to Distraction was very helpful to both of us. I know he'd be glad to help. His ADD was almost debilitating but the family wasn't around to see the worst of it. He's doing well now. Heart, N
