When I first found this site, I read some very funny things, they were real to me, things I do, but it was fun to read them and know that I can laugh about what I do a little differently than another person might who is not LD. Where did that topic go? I will probably lose this one too. It is frustrating to lose things and that is one of my things, so losing the fun stuff is very frustrating.
I will get over it of course. LOL
I am also going to say that this site is so great! I do not have support systems, don’t know how to create them, my adult testing is coming up soon, hope I make it that far, without forgetting or having some disaster happen to stop me. I went once before to VESID and the guy did not think I had a problem because I got through a distant learning college program. I dropped out of college to avoid the humiliation of failing, I knew I was not cut out for it, because of not being aware of LD and thinking I was just a stupid failure. I went to distant learning and had major issues there, but I cried my way through. I really got my degree by begging and pleaing that I was trying to change my life and have chances to be successful. One thing I have learned to do is talk my way through almost any crisis. I am in a bad state now and not so sure I can talk my way through it. I am just not organized and this situation was placed on me, and when it was not handled right I tried to defend myself but lacked the communication to do so, written and verbal. I ramble people away. I have to stop !
Anyhow my purpose of writing here is to say thank you for being here, thank you for sharing, please guide me back to the funny things that LD people do, so I can be happy that I am part of a fun smart and talented group that is just totally underestimated and misunderstood. love ya all Sue or aka shezadare
I need friends so write me asap or see ya on messenger! I am so many names there, richkitty49, or shezadare, or sunsetnrg1 ( yahoo) :D
Re: Where'd the humor go?
I think the post you’re looking for is the long thread titled
“You know you’re ADD when … ”
There was another really good story added to it today, too.
I forget which page it’s on; just go to the top of this page and use the search option to find it.
The if you add a post of your own you can click the “watch this topic” box at the bottom and you’ll get an email every time there’s a new addition.
Have fun! :D
I can relate to loving the HUMOR that comes with LD’s too…I can laugh because either I did it or my children did.
Like you„,I’ve learned to talk my way through anything even though I may not have a “clue”..LOL Also, like you„„I FEAR FAILURE!!!!
I’ve failed so much in my life..IE: Elementary, JR. high and HS…no that I am “out in the world”..I’m a perfectionist because I can keep a clean house and am good at my job…therefore..I never want to be a failure again!!!!!
But yet…I’m also getting to a point in my life were I can give a rats back side about failing…I just like the fact that I know I tried…LOL…maybe it’s hitting 35..or a midlife crisis..LOL
Take heart„,I’m sure there are many others that feel the same.
