My life right now

I'm a 23 year old single mommy to a 20 month old toddler named Phoenix Alexander.

I'm a domestic abuse survivor. (ex spouse)

I live at home with my mama, as I just left my husband (a year ago today actually 8.7.09)

I'm deathly afraid to drive because I'm worried with my ADHD I'll screw up and get in plenty of unnecessary accidents.

I love making graphics and it's my "creative" side of ADHD.

I'm currently unemployed and actively seeking work in the customer care field what I was doing before I got pregnant with my son, but my husband was military so I had to put in my leave notice prematurely.

I take Ritalin, just restarted on August 3rd, still hasn't really "kicked in" and hope it will soon.

I love new friends and going places, but my inability to drive cripples me to going out only when I can get someone else to tag along.

I nurse my son still (I did my medication research prior to getting on it)

I love to read all kinds of books.

I still watch Disney and I don't care who thinks that's silly. It's about the only TV I watch and I watched it even before having my son so he can't be my excuse.

I know way too many Barney and Elmo songs, and THAT one IS his fault. Lol.

I RARELY drink, even prior to having my son. EVERY once in a while, and not even on holidays I decide to have a drink, and even then rarely finish it. I'm not into getting buzzed really. I guess it's one of those "Trust me, I have ADHD, I don't need alcohol to make me silly, loud and clumsy" types of things. Lol. I think this year, in the last 8 months, I've had one drink and it was at Olive Garden.

I abuse Red Bull. Lol. I wish they had it in DeCaf.

I LOVE the color blue (bright blue like the color of this forum) but feel I look best in springy shades of green, because I have freckles, fair skin, medium brown eyes and reddish toned brown hair. I love all bright colors really.

I don't watch very much tv, and even when I do it's Disney (Suite Life, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, used to love Phil of the Future, Cory in the House and those types of shows) and then some other shows I watch are True Blood, Family Guy, Bewitched (yes that old show), the Ellen show, because she's just so refreshing to watch. And then occasionally movies. I just never really get into TV, because I can never stay focused long enough to finish a show unless it's something that really draws me in. My ex never understood why I wasn't too fond of going to the movies...

I talk too much, interrupt, and love a friendly argument. Fellow ADDers get along with me fine, but I think I annoy "normies" lol. I'm empathetic, moral, very friendly, excitable and probably use LOL in unneeded circumstances. I like to laugh at life and hate feeling depressed, though I do know the necessity of an occasional cry when I need it and let it wash away. I try to be reasonable with my expectations of myself and those around me and always try to put myself in other's shoes before opening my mouth and insulting someone.

Since I left my husband my motto has been "Don't be afraid to be yourself, because those who mind, don't matter and those who matter, don't mind."

I think that's all of about it.
