Hi Sun,

I so sorry about loosing your position.

Its these kinds of losses from our difficuliets in
focusing , organizing , stay on track ,and keep intrested in our work or having to much or into everything . and our learning /studie needs ,

that finally get us to seek some help.

Ive been trying to get medical help but cannot .I don;t have the money to get it privately which is my only option .

Im stuck stale mate check mate what ever you want to call it.

I resist structure period . its not in my nature to be ridgid ,

so I have to learn to accept this first of all .

I have a very difficult time simplifying which makes sense that would help me .

If I start out the day by actaully writting a list of random things that pop into my mind about a variety of areas of taks thaneed to be done and things Id like to do thats a great start for me .

I dont worry about prioritizing for right now writting it down helps me to remember period.

the thought of an organizer Pd or any hand held device puts my mind in shut down mode .

That you can teach I find miraculous. I could not do that. I have to many mind blocks where I cannot retrieve names of things . I can see images in my mind just can't find the name for it. I would be in front of a class and have to ask them to help me find the name for what Im seeing so I could teach them.

I have always known this. I applied long ago to be a sub and never folowed through with the application process.

One of the positive things about going to other schools and different classes is the variety. Thats works well for those with ADHD. yet it is alot to keep track of .
just tryin to put the positve out there for your situation . I find how one looks at ones situation helps one feel netter about it . Maybe your new position will be a God send .

I have always needed to work two jobs .and at least one of them had to be outside.

Nature is not ridgid so My job demands flexibility . we are a match..and I love the unrigidity and freedom it demands.



Patricia
