Hi...I'm Phil and I have ADHD ...?

Well, I've decided to cave in & start blogging. Keep my feet from dancing. Were this will go, who will know. But to quote my dearly departed Mother, "You've given a piece of your mind to so many people, it's a wonder you have any mind left!"

God rest her soul. My Mother never lied.

I grew up being told I was a "hyper-active" child. I was always told that I "had trouble paying attention" in grade school. I was always talking -- getting in trouble in school for flapping my gums -- and could not follow directions well. So, I was a little "high-strung", as most would say. That was 1973. Today, it's "Adult ADHD".

I just think that some folks in today's society need to hang a "schism" on people because they wouldn't be able to figure them out if they didn't. It's as if we don't need any more reasons to pound down a person's self-worth...we need to find some clinical definition for why they behave the way they do. They do this so these poor saps will be "understood" by their friends or their spouses.

Horse hockey.

I just want to go on record to say that I am happy with the body I have. I feel perfectly fulfilled with the mind I have (even though it's about fried with trying to raise two toddler boys and try to understand the mind of my own spouse). And I also have complete and total contentment with my present state of being.

I've checked out those websites for Adult ADHD. One thing I did find interesting was the fact that in some cases, the "diagnosis" was nothing more than over-reaction to normal stress-related issues. Now, I'm not saying I'm oblivious to the fact that I may have ADHD. But really... does folks need to make it such a topic of their conversations? Good grief. It's enough to give any normal person a complex!

On the other hand, if I could get some kind of compensation for my new-found "disability", I may be able to rake in more money and still not have to work as hard!
