Correction made on "Dr. Whatever and more" ....

My apologies ... I went back and changed/corrected something I said in my last post RE: working with a Doctor ...
I said I had not worked with a Doctor up until now and of course that is all together silly. I had two Doctors diagnose me separately (not on purpose), just worked out that way and I took advantage of the permissions given. My primary Doctor deals with all AD/HD patients at my clinic and I have had him on board for the length of this or since the beginning.
Dr. Normal is really trying to help my get symptoms under controll ... I would have stayed with the last pschyologists but he had zero to offer and let me know that up front in a round about way. He attempted to reach into the diet and nutrition area of my life but before that he had asked me a question about continuing and I got it right away that he did not see the need and it would be hard to justify re-visits..he offered expensive support groups and I got some books out of him and I knew it was time to look elsewhere. This is an experience I have had many times even while just reading articles on ADD/HD, even Doc. Norm acknowledges this dark hole in the system for ADD/HD.
As of yesterday, Dr. Normal and I are looking at my sleep ... very important and could change my life ... stay tuned and we will see!

I should say that I have been feeling great lately as well and I'm of course excited now about learning to dance around my beautiful mind and sensory sensitivities. I see all of the strengths and I said this week to some friends of mine ....I'm gonna make people want to have ADD/HD !
I have a beautiful mind and I'm truly thankful~

Dr. Whatever and more ....


I have a new DOCTOR on board. For those of you who did not know I have NOT worked with a psychologist or therapist YET on this Add/HD issue (Outside of being diagnosed really). I think about the "season" of acceptance I have gone through. As a female "sufferer" doing my own research was a must (certain articles I read told me to search for my own answers if I was female) I had started to do that already, only because I saw there was "nothing enough" for me. Then we have that grieving alone piece, because no one CAN understand, it is almost impossible. Can a man know what it is like to birth a child? So yes, when I say people don't understand is the truth ... they CANT, there is no self pity here it is just a fact.
What do I name my Doc so I can talk about this avenue here ...hmmm, I'm thinking. I don't want to use His initials. What do I want ...I want to be healed from my beautiful quirks in a way that makes life more normalized than not. I want to make a difference in this world for all ADD/HD sufferers and I want to move the medical arena to pay for a "coach" for all diagnosed adults to have one time a week in their home for three hours. The coach would encourage, help around the home and help set and keep goals. I will call him Doc. Future because no matter what he is helping me get to my future.
As for the challenge to be the first one to walk in healing over this ADD/HD thing ... I'm working on it, I just want ed you to know Mr. or Mrs..or Miss "Anonymous" ...I'm working on it NOW! ;)

I have a tremendously beautiful mind and I'm thankful!
