Quote From: mezneilHugs to all who remember me well and Hi to the new people on the board. I'm returning after periodic absences with some big news the kind of explains the big black hole I dropped into a few months ago.
I've just been diagnosed with Adult AD/HD... I'm nearly 37. To say this came as a shock is putting it mildly.
At the moment I am learning, learning, learning all about why my life has been so chaotic for so long and also to use my strengths better. This is a very exciting and powerful process... I'm learning how I have instinctively been self medicating with some things to help my brain function differently... one of these things was food. Also why some exercises help me more than others to function well...
I want to share this aspect of my learning curve with you as I move onwards towards my healthy weight and towards a better use of the alternative brain I'm blessed with.
Hugs and Spring sunshine,
Mary DownUnder
Mary, it is great to hear from you again. I've been keeping you in my prayers, friend.
Wow. That diagnosis would set you back. But, what you know about you can deal with. Just take it one step at a time. I think most of us with life long issues with food have been self medicating for some reason. It just takes a while to figure out the real reason in order to do something about it.
I've got to get moving, girl, but I send you some fall sunshine. Life is wonderful, enjoy it while you can. You will remain in my prayers and look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Hugs,
Anita
