ADHD, good, bad, and the ugly....

[bugsmom]

Ok...this is for my Bug...(Josh)...

Good...Hystrically funny, always wants to make others laugh, loves nature, if you are his friend he will go to the ends of the earth for you, does the hyper-focus thing too...can be good at times or ugly too, doesn't follow the crowd--he's his own man!

Bad...never finishes a project unless its super interesting, can dis-organize every room in my house in mintues (hense the nick-name hurricane!), hates to be told what to do...he always knows anyway.

Ugly...can be so impulsive that he hasn't got a clue on hurtful his words can be, very hyperactive...he can turn into a nut within seconds, frustration level is loooooowwwww. This always hurts him in most situations.

Good - creative and love to document my emotions and feelings to a journal.

Bad - often cannot understand my feelings, feel overwhelmed a lot.

Ugly - compensate for feelings by being impulsive, out of control, in denial, and making really bad choices that could be life changing. EMOTIONS gone wild!!! You definitely reap what you sow!!!

Good - can juggle lots of balls.

Bad - cannot handle it when I drop the ball!!

Ugly - I constantly drop the ball and have a hard time recovering it!!

I am having a bad night cause I thought I had all my balls in the air, but I realized I did not, I dropped the ball. I am so spastic trying to back track right now, it is bad!!

We're supposed to keep the balls in the air? Now I know why I keep messing up!

You have so much going on that I don't know how you manage as well as you do. A dropped ball now and then isn't the end of the world. It may seem it to you but I've told you before, you are your own worst critic. The rest of us admire you.

thanks for that reminder, I am my own worst critic, I have been told that a few times in the past few weeks!! I am really trying to work on talking to myself differently because constant bad talk to yourself is, WELL, BAD!!

It is hard to recognize though, and that is all I am doing at the moment, I am only trying to recognize when it happens, I will start to change it later!!

So would this be a good!!

Good - I am honest with myself and mistakes.

Bad - I am overly critical and kick my own butt for making mistakes.

Ugly - I can put myself down worse than any enemy or critic ever would in my life!!

Ok, so that is why I keep relying on you all, you tell me when I am acting stupid, or should I say, you tell me when my ADHD shows!!
