I recently realized I'm not OK.

Starting my journey to becoming ok. Going to use this as a journal of sorts on what in going through.

But the most pernicious phrase that tends to wreck kids, and then seems to ruin things past childhood, past college (if that happens) and into their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond, is: “you have SO much potential!” This phrase can be deadly for #ADHD kids and we need to stop. /5

When photoshop is used for good it is so much fun. 😆

I used to bank with Bank of America and apparently they were involved in a class action lawsuit that resulted in me receiving a check for a cool $14.90 today. Everything's comin' up Erin!

Preventing suicide requires us to speak openly about suicide. You can #BeTheLight.

At some point shit has to get better, doesn't it?

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

Some days are just so fucking hard.

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@justchristine86 There's also a handful of other issues that go along with (or amplified by) ADHD.

Knowing is half the battle

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@justchristine86 Welcome to the club.
Amazing how things make more sense when looking back, now.

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@justchristine86 The funniest thing to me is people saying how addictive Adderall is.

I literally have to set an alarm so I don't forget to take it.
Also have a daily pill box, so I know if I took both doses.

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@justchristine86 Yeah, I can see that. Try a couple days of meds without smoking and see how it works.

You'll never know until you try.

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@justchristine86 Welcome to the club
Get the meds
Might take a bit to find right med/dosage, but well worth it

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@theworldofdog Style points!

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

What do you do when you just don't want to go on anymore?

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@Smooheed @justplainkris01 My kids. Our dog.

I may not be in the best place, but watching my boys grow up has kept me going on when giving up seems easier.

And there's nothing quite like a dog's greeting when you come home.

[A Sad Guy @ASadGuy52]

@SbrBartender Breathe.
Start anew.

Fall down 99 times, get up 100.
