Hey folks, I just wanted to share my latest blog on the correlation between love addiction and ADD. I never in a million years thought there was such a deep connection between the two, until I learned otherwise! Also just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy kwanzaa, festivus...whatever you celebrate. And if you celebrate nothing (and believe me, I don't blame you!) enjoy your weekend and may it be peaceful. I won't be on the boards for awhile, so peace out! And see you in the New Year!!!!!! thelovelyaddict.com/2011/12/24/scratching-the-itch/ |

Yeah, thanks June, I had already thought about the connection for myself, although I can't remember what I read or why I started considering it. I was always mucking around in classes, quick with a joke, often in trouble, hated study, loved drama because we could "do " something in the class, loved art. I have some but not all of the traits of ADD. I still find focusing on one thing, carrying something through to completion or taking advantage of all the ideas I have very, very hard.

I am definitely ADD but never wanted to admit it. My brother and i both are. Even in this small house where we both care for mom, we both do half a chore, get distracted, and forget what we were doing, leaving little messes all over the house. Constantly. And our upbringing REALLY sucked-- absent abusive father, alcoholic neglectful mother who was also a hoarder and never cleaned.. My brother and I grew up in chaos. I have for years blamed that chaos for my ADD (I think its fair to do that) Hmmm... where was i going with this???!!!!
Ahhh. The correlation of ADD and Love Addiction. Yes, and the fact that I had an icky up bringing doesn't help in my LA OR my ADD-- but I work VERY hard at both.
Lovely June, you are poignant, talented, and amazing-- thank you for finding YOU and sharing your writing gift with us and the world!!! You are my hero!
