I have ADHD! And I
live a successful, though crazy life with it.
A lot of times I drive my husband crazy as he follows me closing
cupboards, but through this fun brain of mine we have grown and love each other
even more. On top of that, my son has
ADHD so now we get to navigate his world which is not easy. So join me on the days I survive and the days
I thrive.
I hesitated starting this blog, but
after real consideration and deep reflection I decided to go ahead. It takes a lot to be vulnerable, but I
recently published an article in my church’s magazine about struggles I have
had with my son, who has ADHD, and how faith in God helped me. I got so many positive responses from people
who have had similar experiences and how having someone’s different perspective
helped them as well. It has given me the
courage to write about my personal experiences with ADHD as an adult women,
mother and wife and dealing with ADHD and ODD in my oldest son.
There’s two main ideas for my
blog. The first is to experience my life
with ADHD, and the second is to see ADHD through the eyes of the parent.
My goals for this blog is to be
open and honest. I want the good and the
bad to show through and how I deal with them.
I plan on showing the “tricks” to my brain and hopefully you can better
understand how at least one person’s ADHD brain works. I’ll show you how I clean, work, create, and
organize.
The more intense part of the blog
will be about my son. As a parent with a
child who has severe ADHD dealing with the everyday is complicated and hard. There has been so many moments that I have
cried and so often that I have felt like my heart was going to break. Sometimes I have to look back to see the
entire picture and that’s when I see how much he has grown and how far he has
come, and I can forget the little hard moments.
So regardless of my constant worry I know that we are making progress
and there is a lot of reason’s to find joy.
Hopefully, what I have learned and experienced with my son can give you
a bigger picture so that with your struggles you can find what you need to find
joy!
Welcome to my blog! If the next time I post is months or years
from now, remember I have ADHD!
