I saved my marriage today.having adhd aint easy especially when your wife doesn’t really get it.i try so hard and even harder most of the time.

I had my adhd head on today which means I’m in control of important information that will severely impact my and my wife’s life if I don’t move another mountain.

I’m pretty good at moving mountains it has to be said.my adhd gives me a strength in knowing that even in the most darkest parts of my life a mountain can always be moved.

I moved the biggest mountain today and for the first time in my life i actually reached the top,stuck a bloody massive flag on top saying I love you.

You see as some may know having adhd we see life from a different angle,some good some not so good but the ability to look from with out the box is just plain bloody crazy.but it does work once having mastered the slippery little bugger.

Any just to say I love you all I love my crazy life I love my wife and kids and I love being alive today.

Thanks for listening

Hi Starrlight

I love being alive even when I don’t like being alive and life is just to much.

You get me ?

last yr I went to bed.have you ever had that feeling deep in your self while being totally calm that you have this over whelming feeling that this will be your last breath.

My wife asked if I was ok and told her the above.i don’t think I’ve ever seen any one go so pale.

It was like a white cold sheet of nice just lay over me.

I spoke to a therapist and he said apparently that’s a near death experience.

I had that exact same feeling 20 yrs ago while in a car upside down in the air,feeling all will be ok with a smile on my face.

So yer I have come to the conclusion that no matter how much I don’t like living some times I’m here to stay.

My wife is my saviour if you like.

She is my stopping point of don’t try harm my self or worse as it won’t work.

Yrs and yrs ago I was tossed of the back of a motor bike doing approx 90 mph while an old big van pulled out.i flew over the bonnet catching my shoulder as I carried on in the air.i went about 10 metres or so.

I went to hospital and they said your fine even though I complained about severe back pain.8 yrs later I found that I had fractured my spine with 3 compressed wedge fractures.

Yup in pain most of the time as my spine grew to the left some what and forward.

I’m alive though.i was diagnosed with a heart condition last yr.i was diagnosed with adult adhd at 10yrs ago and more.

I’m ALIVE though.so I get on with it the best I can.

You know what,if I wasn’t here I wouldn’t wake up to my sunshine smiling wife every morning.

She is my soul mate.the way we met was amazing but it was over 10 yrs before life put us in the position to get married.only together for two yrs before.

complicated story but It was love at first sight the 10 yrs before but life would not let us be together.

Strange how life turns out.

I always see the good in bad shxt and I guess that’s how I see life.

Every one has life’s ups and downs but you treasure the ups and that makes up for the downs and smooths them over a little.

Yup i do have other mental health issues and yes I’ve worked my arse of to get to this point in life.

It’s possible for every one to have a happy life.keep life simple and the simple things make you happy

Sorry got carried away again ooop lol

I am thankful that I am able to go out in public without feelings of anxiety sometimes. I am thankful that I have a good shrink who prescribes me low dose Xanax so that I can enjoy life while doing CBT and a clear head.

I am thankful that I was able to go bowling yesterday and enjoy it instead of looking for escape routes.

I am thankful I was able to go to dinner with my son and his girlfriend the other night, again, without being preoccupied with wanting the night to hurry up and be over so I can get back home. I was able to relax and enjoy the conversation.

I am thankful I found calm.com which has lots of tools that have been helping me manage and rid my anxiety.
