  i have been with the board now for a few months now, mostly lurking and posting occaisionally and i love the support and even the opposition that everyone has shown here.

  i know that most newbies do post their "story", and even tho i'm not technically a newbie here anymore, i would like you all that i meet in chat & on the board to know a bit more about me and my jw background.

  this could be a long post but thanks for taking the time to read it !

  Sitting on a straightbacked chair, in a white room, with no windows, no music, no books, or anything. An empty white room. For four hours. That's boring.

  I was sitting at the front of the Kingdom Hall with my friends. My brothers, and the guy I had a crush on were sitting in the back rows. I went into the bathroom. When I returned I walked up the aisle to my seat. I heard my brothers guffawing, and snickers from the congregation. I didn't pay much attention. After the final prayer, a sister walked up to me and told me my skirt was tucked into my panty hose. Egads! <blushes>

  Adults and children with ADD /ADHD

  by LyinEyes in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i have been doing some research on the condition add/adhd and came across a list of names of people who have this condition.

  this runs in my family and only recently have i been diagnosed with this , which was a real eye opener, and if only i had known about this as a child some things would have been more easily understood by my parents.

  i have two children with this condition, and for the time being, have decided agaisnt medication for them.

  My son was diagnosed with borderline ADHD. I fought medication until he was 12 or so, but it just became too unmanageable. He really did well on the medication, but quit taking it at 14 because he didn't like the way it made him feel. Since he could walk, he's been hell on wheels. Not a bad kid at all, just BUSY BUSY BUSY and LOUD! ack! I was always in the office for this that or the other. He finally went to go live with his Father last year because I couldn't deal with his teenagerhood.. hehehhe. His Dad keeps a pretty good rein on him, and Mom (I have ADD I think) misses him much, but is somewhat relieved!

  I tried the diet stuff, but slacked off all the time, or the school, or his Dad would slack off.

  How Did Your Adolescence Go?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was chatting to an old aquaintance about some of the weid and wonderful conflicts that i had gone through when i left the jw's.

  she works as a therapist of some renown locally, so i was interested in her viewpoint.

  she said that, in her opinion, anyone who's adolescent development was overly restricted by, for example, their religion, would have to clear away the mental stuff that had been held back during this critical time.

  I was raised as a Dub since I was 3 years old. I began "Mothering" my four little brothers at the age of 8. My childhood was spent changing diapers, babysitting, and looking after them at the meetings. I was depressed until I was 19, when I got out. Then I made a big mess of my life because of being so controlled the whole time and then going hog wild! I knew it was a lie at the age of 8. I don't know how I knew, just knew. I couldn't wait to get out. Fortunately, I didn't have one of those Mothers that was overly conservative. She encouraged me in art, music, theatre, reading all viewpoints, and sports. We were also given outside art and music lessons. However, there was also the "no dating", no football games, no boyfriends part, which totally screwed with me because I never learned out to interact with other kids. I did have a "secret" boyfriend in high school, but we weren't allowed to date outside of school. We would sneak away from school and go bowling.. hehheh. I lost him to a girl that put out. <grin> He wasn't worth it. But I didn't know I was depressed until I was finally out and I felt unburdened and more optimistic about the world. It was a relief.

  Now I hate the religion with a passion that knows *no bounds*. It enrages me when Witnesses come around my house! It's all that bottled up anger... hopefully one day I'll learn to deal with it.

  he was a well known musician, in our area, so it made the newspaper here.

  Mulan:

  I was so sorry to read of this. It sounds like he was a well-trained and well-loved muscian and friend. My thoughts are with your brother's family.
