2012 Delays and Roadblocks!

We are only 6 days into 2012 and I'm already having delays and roadblocks. I've been in bed the past week with bad cold or Flu. If you listened to this week's ADHD Support Talk Radio you heard me say that when I ever I put something out there I seem to be "tested". On New Years Resolutions and ADD / ADHD  Jennifer Koretsky and I discussed how this time of year isn't always a good time for people to make changes or "resolutions. Even though I thought it was a good time for me to make changes, it wasn't the time for me. I now need to reevaluate my 2012 plan and make some adjustments.

Stressed, Overwhelmed and Stuck

New Online Support Community

More than a decade ago back in 1999 I started the website Living with ADD. The purpose of the site was to bring people together and offer people affected by ADD / ADHD support. The Stories section of the site became very popular and the site had over 100 stories from people Living with ADD. Over time the site software became obsolete and the site became too much for me to handle.

I knew I needed to revamp the site but wasn't quite sure what to do with it. So for a while I focused on other project like ADDClasses.com and ADHD Support Talk Radio. I finally figured what to do with the new Living with ADD site and found people to help me get the new site up. I am excited to let you all know that the new Living with ADD site is now live!!

I will be adding more to the site in 2012 but the new Living with ADD site is ready for you to take a look at hopefully connect with others there and find support!
