Found a reason to blog!
Well after 3 years with this blog up, and only 11 posts to show for it (and all of them a bit pretentious, in my opinion), I figured out a reason to write regularly and fluidly.
Three reasons, actually.
The first is, I am committed to lose some weight, which seems to be harder than ever at almost 40. So this will be a place to track my progress, bitch about working out, and sharing my success stories.
Next, I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD. After years of forgetfulness, losing my place in a conversation, and general distraction, I now know what causes it. I have mixed feelings about it, because for a long time I viewed ADHD as a faux syndrome ascribed to boys who were too much like boys for their teachers’ liking. I am going to attempt to work on the issues without getting drugged up, though my shrink (I have a shrink!) says she wants me to at least consider trying them out after a few months.
And last, just to keep a daily work and life journal. I’m not sure if it will be fully public, and I’m frankly unsure how many people should even CARE what we all blog, but it’s theraputic for me to put into words the hundred channels that vie for attention in my head all day.
Well that’s a start! Be back tomorrow to post on my Sexification efforts, and I meet with my (what do you call them – really? Shrink? Therapist?) therapist in the morning for my second visit. I’ll see how that goes. Hopefully for others out there who struggle with this disorder, it’ll be helpful to have someone give a frank, honest discussion about it.
Until tomorrow, then.
