Irritability and ADD ADHD— ADD Tip O the Day 673

Posted on November 30, 2015 by doug with ADHD

This is a question I use often to help with my ADD ADHD irritability problem:

                                     Does it really matter?

Often the answer is, No, it really doesn’t matter.

Right now, our grandson Michael, 13, is in ICU with pneumonia.  He’s on a ventilator.  He is getting a little better.

That changes my whole perspective on what matters and what doesn’t.  Very little matters.

I would appreciate your prayers for Michael.

thank you

    Said prayers for Michael to have a speedy and full recovery, Doug. We deal with our struggles relating to our ADD, but fears concerning a loved one’s health helps put everything into perspective. I believe that, instead of thinking about our difficulties all of the time, we need to take time to count our blessings – of which there are many! Jeff

    Including your grandson and entire family in prayers. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to have someone so young to be this ill.
