*Big hugs* I have no doubt you are right: I can't believe any late-deafened person could say with complete honesty that they never miss hearing. That's rediculous. Of course we miss hearing sometimes. It was part of who we were, just like being deaf is part of who we are now. You can't cut off a...

*Hugs* You did very well. I can feel a lot pain in that poem, Hear Again, but you know what I also feel? A lot courage, a lot of strength, and a lot of spirit. "No! You will NOT defeat me! This is MY life." You wrote those words and they are the words of a powerful, beautiful person. Now, don't...

Oh, no! You havent upset me at al. It's nice to hear my own opinion echoed by someone else. I feel a little cheatedand worse, let down. This probably stems from the fact that this whole thing is super important me right now and because it takes such a lot of courage from me to work myself up to...

So, here is an update since seeing the doctor yesterday. The appointment was, to put it lightly, a disappointment. She saw me for half-an-hour (though the schedualed time was a full hour) and was in an obvious hurry the whole time. She tried to hand me a new med for ADHD without discussing...

It's interesting because while ADHD is often over-diagnosised in kids, I've been told it's actually under-diagnosised in adults because people don't look for the right things. Like, in children, extreme hyperactivity where they obviously can't sit still and are consistantly into things help pin...

Thanks for clearing up about the anger thing! I didn't know that. I guess it's like how Hyperactivity can be part of ADHD but isn't always. My appointments tommorrow. I'll be keeping you informed.

Thanks for the hug. I could definately use lots of them! You are a brave woman. I'm sure you did a good job. Casey's great! We are having her take another hearing test though. We think she may not be hearing as well as we thought. Thanks so much for asking!

Hey thanks guys. I'm digging into Joomla just to let you know. I think it will work for us...and our website is going to be pretty small, as it were. It's a lawncare/home maintence business. We are a very small business...just about as small as you get right now. Mostly, it's just for...

Thanks for the confirmation on my feelings about being diagnosised correctly. It's really important to me right now. Though, truthfully, I am terrified going to the doctor.I have a serious issue with that for unknown reasons. I am so happy for you that you have been able to figure out what was...

Is there anything in particular you'd like to know about it? That I have more knowledge about. I was poking around on the internet last night and depressed myself even more on the subject by realizing that there are far more disorders related to BiPolar, ADHD, and so on then I realized. It's not...

Dogmom and Jazzy: thank you for your input. I definately get where you are coming from. Don't worry too much. I'm not sitting here self-diagnoising myself. I'm just trying to get some ideas, as much to allievate the anxiety I sometimes I have over it. There is something that isn't working...

Do water slides count? I hope so because that is what I'm putting. What is your favorite thing to do when you are home alone?

Wow. Thanks for all the information! Have no fear, I'm not expecting to be diagnosised here...I just needed to vent and to express some of my fustration at myself. It can be very difficult to know rationally that I should be able to do thus and such or should be feeling this way, when, in fact...

Yes, having looked further into Borderline Personality Disorder, I really think I lack the anger that seems so apart of it. I am not very typically angry. I can be very implusive, yes, and have definate problems with being afraid that people don't like me anymore (I care too much about that, and...

Ok, thanks! *Smiles*

Thank You Botts! I'll look into that. I'm not generally angry, though, I will say that.

Knobles! Yeaaaaa What is your favorite dream for your future?

*Smiles* Thanks!

I don't really know what to think. I am just extremely uncomfortable with my own body. I don't seem in control of myself. I know that having one symptom doesn't make me anything in particular, but I know something is wrong, and I certainly have several of the symptoms for ADHD...but even this...

I didn't know that. But, still, I've been diagnoised with ADHD as an adult as well...my confusion comes from the fact that the meds don't help and often make me feel worse.
