How to stop thinking and just sleep
Mar 19, 2010 - 9:10 PM - by fracturedstory
I've been having a problem for many years. It takes me hours and hours to fall asleep, then I wake up in the middle of the night and find it hard to get back to sleep.
Lately, I thought the problem was because my mother stayed up and watched TV. When I told her to turn it down she would, but even on it's lowest volume I can hear it. God bless my hypersensitivity to noise.

ADHD Parenting workshops??
Mar 19, 2010 - 8:52 AM - by mandlsmom
Does anyone know if there are any special places that offer some sort of parenting workshops, where your children come along?? Someone mentioned to me that they knew a friend who had been on a long weekend with her daughter, and they both learned more about the disorder and how to tackle it!

Thanks

ADD/ADHD versus ADD/ADHD and Co Existing Conditions
Mar 18, 2010 - 7:37 PM - by Crazygirl79
Hi People.

Just before I write any further please know that none of what I'm about to say/ask is intended to offend any particular person and it's merely a question and an small observation.

Has anyone noticed that people with just ADD/ADHD are or appear more successful than those who have ADD/ADHD and Co Existing conditions??

It seems to me that people with just ADD/ADHD has less trouble sustaining a job, a relationship etc than those with ADD/ADHD and... [Read More]
