Hi dove,
you sound like superwoman to me. I've made a conscious decision not to have a family because i find being around children extremely hard on my nerves, plus all that mega amounts of tiny, weany
nonstop organizing and cleaning.If it makes you feel any better, I have always felt like a superfreak. I have spent 98% of my energy trying to repress myself and pass myself off as normal while despising every moment of it. I look normal and people often comment that I am charming and funny, so at least I've been pleasing them . I always thought this was the way everyone lived their lives, their fake personality on the outside, and then the real them inside (a storm brewing if not erupting). I bet you deserved that trip to Mexico.
Getting a good sleep; I've been noticing this lately too. Even if i am short 1/2 hour of sleep, my ADD is way worse. Good sleep (most important), good food, strict routine, almost okay...or as okay as I've ever been.
Thanks for the story about your family, I also suspect the 2 are completely intertwined in me also. Take care, Janice.
