October - Don't Scare Yourself

Friday, October 1st 2010 @ 10:31 PM

This month take off those masks. Stop hiding who you really are. I know its scary at first but when you let people see who you really are, you will replace fear with excitement and you will know the delight of true connection instead of pretending to be someone you are not. This is the month to have courage to confront your demons. Who knows? You might just find that others are tired of wearing their masks too!

What if after one year of wanting to call in on the Doug Wright Radio Show I push past my fear of speaking up and say my piece about how a porn habit can be an act of self-medication for a sluggish brain... I did 9/23

What if I meet that same radio host in person and hand off Tom Brown's model of the Executive Function Cognitive Cluster... I did, in fact we had a warm connection & we plan to reconnect when I have my website up that further explains EF & AD/HD. 10/01

What if I ask for the support I need to feel comfortable about pushing thru my apprehension and I hold a tarantula in my palm and an 8ft boa constrictor around my neck... I did and it goosed me! 10/02

I diagnosed myself ADD inattentive 15 years ago after reading Sari's book on women and ADD. I was content with that until this year when the ADD got in the way more than usual at work. Life was painful. Last month I took myself to the ADD clinic at Oregon Health Sciences University and got an official diagnosis. I was afraid of taking meds as I don't react well. I have started some generic Ritalin. It has not been the miracle cure-all, but I have been surprised at the cohesion in my head instead of feeling unraveled. I have mostly conquered my fear of the official diagnosis and am accepting that ADD is part of who I am.
