The Things We Carry: Artists Confront Compulsive Hoarding

Since we're all super busy with the holidays and everything you read about IS about the holidays, I thought I'd pass on this interesting article about an artist who had a fascinating show in NYC documenting all the things that were contents in his mother's house. She was a compulsive hoarder and this show gives one an idea of just how serious this problem is.… Continue

I'm in Love

...with this!

No jewelry or cookware for this gal! My husband got this extremely cool NeatDesk Desktop Scanner and Digital Filing System as my holiday gift this year and I couldn't be happier.

Now, instead of scrambling for my important papers, I'll scan them and file them on my computer for easy access… Continue

What NOT To Do If You Have ADHD

In my last post, I talked about what NOT to do to prepare for the holidays if you have ADHD. One of my readers responded that it was refreshing to read a list of what NOT to do instead of what TO do, because she, as most of us, are overwhelmed with all the things we need to do but find hard to accomplish. That ADHD just keeps getting in the way.

So… Continue

I did not take the photo but I love it -- the lotus flower represents new beginnings and is inspirational. Like your site! I'm so glad to have found it. I have ADD (only diagnosed in the last 4 or 5 years) and my 8 year old daughter is about to be tested for ADHD. It's comforting to have found your site which is full of good information. I no longer feel alone in trying to understand and learn to work with ADD. Thank you! Lisa

I lived in Michigan near Detroit (Birmingham) for my whole life until 6 years ago when I moved to Pennsylvania. I miss Michigan! But I still visit often since my family is there. Well, thanks so much for starting this group ... Fondly, Maureen.

At 9:59pm on July 8, 2009, Dyane said…: Thanks for the reply, Terry. I had asked about meds on my first post but two hours later after reading everything I could absorb, I saw that it was a topic, so I just jumped the gun with excitement! They have been such a help for me that I try and suggest them to some of the intelligent, gifted younger women that I see struggling to keep up with their ADD like I did for so many years. It was exhausting to accomplish what I did but I was convinced that I would lose my fast edge with medicine. I try not to regret the time I wasted and make as much of the new time I now have! Thanks again!
