Nighthawk Introduction - Page 22

Nighthawk, I just sent you a private message. I hope you may be able to find the strenght that you need in order to overcome your addictions and depression. You're stronger than you think!. We LOVE YOU, we CARE ABOUT YOU and we ALL want to see you happy. May God be with you in these times of trials.

Introduction Nighthawk

Ditto with the blog reading. Nighthawk, some of your symptoms are similar to mine -- lack of focus, trouble concentrating, sleep issues. Have you been tested for thyroid activity?

My prayers are also with you.

I have had a lot of tests. The blood tests have not indicated any thyroid problems.

Actually, since two of my sons appear to be ADD, and I can identify with a lot of the symptoms, I suspect that ADD is part of my problem, combined with depression. Add the caffeine addiction, along with a marked lack of exercise, and you can probably see that I am falling apart.

My ankle is feeling quite a lot better, and part of my therapy is to use a recumbant bicycle and other low-stress exercise machines, I will start getting some exercise.

One thing I found I can do quite well is to put my youngest daughter (or my youngest son) into a fireman's carry, and do squats, as long as I don't go very low. This really works the lower thighs, as well as the back and abs. I need to do some serious upper body work, such as pushups, pullups, and handstands. However, I have no place to do pullups or rope climbs, pushups still hurt my ankle, and my balance (not to mention my lack of upper-body strength) doesn't suggest I try handstands right away.

So, I keep doing what I can, and must get into the exercise machines.

Thanks for all of your wonderful, caring responses.

I just wanted to put up a quick link to a picture.

I am trying to get the picture all sorted out so that I can post it in the gallery here on the forum. Until I get that sorted out, here is a photo of our new puppy. His name is Oberon. He is a mastiff / rottweiler mix, so will be huge when he is an adult. He has already doubled in size since this picture was taken just a couple of weeks ago. I will try to get a new, more current picture of him up soon.

Introduction Nighthawk

He is soooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. He's adorable. Looks soooo happy and spoil rotten . I can imagine how excited are the kids over it!.

Nighthawk Introduction

Not having been around for a while, I just read your blog and immediately thought of ADD. Then I read your response here about your children having it and suspecting you might. It is genetic and stimulants definately help which might explain your need for caffiene. Have you considered trying a medication specifically for ADD. It might allow you to focus and give up caffiene. I have been considering a trial run at an ADD medication myself lately.

Thanks Tenaheff, I am working with a psychologist right now. We have some other issues related to depression that I am working on before we address the possible ADD.

Nighthawk, three things:

1. You only need one more charisma point to be 100, better make your next post really inspiring to get that notch up

2. What's with that hit and miss in the Arcade? Sometimes you are in the lead, and sometimes you are not. I thought that it would be easy pickings for you since I bowed out from it (in all humility of course )

3. Your thread about 'Night' is a riot, come check out Cozyville!
