      I read it five times

      So did we.

    Perhaps a dilution of Theragen and Scotch could help you calm and re-center.

      @ummthatguy I also wish I could. Been on the wagon for a long time. One becomes ten, and – like ADHD – it’s not necessarily a matter of willpower. Drinking is a destructive variable for me, and I can’t have that in my life.

      But thank you, I do appreciate the suggestion. It likely wouldn’t hurt if my brain were wired a little differently. I’m sure there’s a Kelly in a parallel universe who is able to take your advice and is enjoying a nice Glenfiddich on the rocks.

        Good on you for recognizing that about yourself and your needs. My good friend with ADHD had to learn the hard way with a few DUI’s. They’re just over a year sober now and holding together better.

    If you tell me to calm down… Are the walls moving?

        Because I have to eat a meal before I take my meds and finding the toaster seems overwhelming?!

          @verity_kindle, I feel your pain. Even the most trivial and mundane tasks become overwhelming/impossible, even for seemingly easy things like self care. It is so hard to even function as a human being, and it really sucks.
