ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

Such relief here! Mixed feelings that so many of us can relate... Still, it's a nonet beacon, encouraging others to freedom! All. The. YES!
Yeah, the bastard is gone!! rest peacefully by yourself and recuperate. Great job.
love this
Oh my, this was beautifully uplifting despite the tragedy. Missed your voice on here!!
Leaving an abusive relationship is always the best feeling ever! Loved your Nonet!
This was so neat, plus warm & optimistic, Ruth. Healing takes its freakin’ time! Yet, a much needed ‘Break’ from the past. Very nice to see you back on here ! 👍😊
Love the positive vibe, Ruth! A great nonet!
Most people are always so critical of their bodies all the time, which is a fools game IMO! This is a wonderful breath of fresh air.
Love this. We spend so much time viewing our nakedness through a lens of judgement, I love this view if it as clean and unhurt and free.
This was brilliant the first time I read it, but even more so now seeing it up there. Love this one. Powerful and empowering.
