I hope you get some relief soon Granny. I know all about those overwhelming days.

Verna, what actually happens when you get overstimulated? How do you know when that is happening, and how do you deal with it? I ask bc my grandson is on the aitism spectrum with ADHD and, at 14, has decided to stop taking his meds. Maybe your experiences can help me help him. Thanks.

My husband and my mother have ADHD. What I can tell you is that they both respond entirely differently to overstimulation so I think it depends on the individual. My husband shuts down, he won't even notice if someone is talking to him and he becomes grouchy. My Mom gets anxious and starts jumping from subject to subject and doesn't complete her thoughts (at least not out loud). Neither of them are taking pharmaceutical medication now but have been in the past. They both have shown improvement when taking an algae supplement that I now take as well simply because I'm scatterbrained and while nearly imperceivable when taking it, I do notice when I'm not taking it, if that makes sense.

Oh also, my husband benefits greatly from meditation, whereas my mother is so high strung she can't. lol

Dear that would take your phone call to go into. Too hard to type it all. When I get home I'll give you my phone number

Hi. I just caught up. I have adhd as well. It sort of makes me feel for people’s pain a lot more I think

That just means you're empathetic towards others. It's not because of your ADHD, but because you're a thoughtful person.

I hope it helps!

I can hear.

So sorry you don't feel good, Granny.

Thanks, Cluck! What is this supplement! My boy gets grouchy and resistant. Whatever this is, it might be worth a try.
