You're absolutely right though, if medication is needed, there is no shame in that. I have no problem taking my Adderall because I believe truly do need that. However, there's just more proof for needing something to do with learning than there is for needing something to deal with emotions, in my opinion. There's a big line with little grey area when it comes to having ADD/ADHD or not, but a fine line when it comes to differentiating not being able to deal with emotions healthily, and actually needing medication for uncontrollable emotions. That's my struggle now, especially since I've always tried to be the one in control—my addiction is proof of that—I'm less likely to give in and admit I need another drug's help. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to stop by (sorry I chatted your ear off), I <i>love</i> your blog. :)Alexis Voltairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148038776934802750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735749345233415483.post-77063817833439126282009-09-26T01:24:48.098-04:002009-09-26T01:24:48.098-04:00thanks alexis, i sure do hope so too xoxthanks alexis, i sure do hope so too xoxS.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00303634142344805296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735749345233415483.post-80961056108833505282009-09-25T12:40:14.747-04:002009-09-25T12:40:14.747-04:00Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. ...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. My younger brother is the same way. He is an alcoholic and drug user and anytime he gets upset, my parents think he will fall off the wagon. Of course, getting upset does not mean that. It is a natural progression of emotion. And, being on any kind of medication to "help" you get through the day to day drudgery of life is not a bad thing, especially if you need it!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008336128049089410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735749345233415483.post-66913588567110166492009-09-25T11:30:41.918-04:002009-09-25T11:30:41.918-04:00Good morning,
You have human emotions just as ever...Good morning,<br />You have human emotions just as everyone else does. I was given the label of "Bipolar" many years ago, and it is always an issue. Over time I just don't give in to peoples stupidity, they most likely have it also. I do not know of anyone who has the right to judge others without looking in the mirror first. The problem is, they just can not see the reality of what they are looking at. You keep your emotions, every human has the same, we are just labled, so we are judged. Keep your head up, you have come a long way and don't let anyone or anything get in your way. Keep strong!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
