[QUOTE="DDD, post: 426120, member: 35"] Don't be silly, Jena. Nobody was looking for an apology. The thread was intended to point out that you are working really hard to get through a bunch of major problems [B]but[/B] in seeking a solution to one, then another, then a different solution to one...you're exhausted and anxious and kinda "spinning your wheels". My eldest sister was sharp as a tack, very kindly motivated and loved her children. Her husband unexpectedly died and she truly never settled down. She would start a load of clothes, then decide to fix a pot roast, then clean up the flower bed, do a quick vaccuum in the living room. At the end of the day she would have clothes in the washer, a pot roast that didn't get in the oven on time and would have to be served another day, gardening shoes next to the vacuum cleaner in the living room. ADD and ADHD can result in family side effects that are not intentioned. My sister didn't "believe" in medications. She did not see the counter productive results of just winging it. If by using an appointment book and limiting her actions to a few specific areas each day she had felt more at peace that would have been great. Personally I have always felt that if she had at least tried a small dose of Ritalin (or some stimulant) her focus may have improved. Anyway, my friend, just want to make sure that you understand there was no evil intent in the thread. Some of us express ourselves in different ways but the family is just that...a group of caring people who don't always think everyone is perfect every day.
