No problem. Many people don't. They think that ADHD is the quintessential child who can't sit still, runs around, disrupts the classroom and refuses to mind. But, there is a medical component which caffeine can reveal. So, sometimes professionals will see what a child's response to caffeine is to see if the brain might have a tendency towards ADHD type symptoms that don't include bouncing off the walls

*HUGS*3 am trauma nightmares, worst in a long time, when I have someone spendering the night.
Edit:. Laid awake until her alarm went off to leave, then went back to sleep for some more sweet, sweet trauma dreams. It will be a loooooooong day. Good thing I have a flexible work schedule.
I have a friend, her mom just had a major medical incident and I found out right before going to sleep she is in hospital for emergency surgery, wonder if that was the trigger.
The history of ADHD is a long and stories one and I think it is really hard to take seriously because it was utilized so often as an excuse for kids sometimes being kids.
No wonder sleep is so difficult. I would recommend some EMDR if possible if you're thinking about therapy at all.
. After a year of applications and evaluations I was rejected from the first one because my traumas were considered too severe so rather than provide me with any services the provincial government decided I shouldn't have any at all. I eventually ended up getting services through my municipality with them waiving the limit of 6 sessions and allowing me indefinite counseling. We've went over my major traumas and are more doing maintenance at this point and I'm joining a weekly group thing when it starts up this month.
Well, I'm glad you got in. EMDR therapists, at least in my area, are in short supply so I am glad you made it in. I was hoping that would help in the reprocessing of all the trauma.I've been doing emdr this year. It took me like two years to get into a program
I'm also doing online CBT.

we are doing great --- /// at the moment of the trauma a innerchild is formed separate from my personality that is me at that age --- little Billy he is someone I can talk to and comfort thru various times of stress --- teenaged Bill comes out at times not often but then young Bill is there from the psych ward hospital traumas as a young adult I had... it is called complex PTSD (CPTSD) it is hard at times but I do what is good for me and I am becoming my own loving parent -- in the mits of this --- I have stopped wanting to kill myself instead of sleeping but sleep is still a hard thing... waking screaming is nothing new for me either -
That's wise and a helpful approach.
As you said, though, it is a big list. A tiny tent is still progress.
Hate days like that. I usually have to avoid crowds when that happens because people don't usually help matters.Feeling really not good these days for no readily discernible reason...
