A.D.D. Pay Attention, “Suicide on the Rise!’

Glass half full or half empty! Either way, you get what you believe. I do not believe in making excuses for anything. When my physical body finally shut down from the years of an over revving emotional engine, I forced myself to checked under the hood. For me being diagnosed with ADHD, has been a blessing not a curse. Today I am FREE of all the doubt, insecurities, question of acceptance and fears that go along with such diseases. Today, while the world may see such as a handicap, I see them as blessings, teachable moments and ways to empower.

Exercise
Fitness found me in my late teens before I was diagnosed and changed my life forever; exercise help channel the demons inside my head into a manageable state. With the discipline learned through weekly and even daily wellness programming, I learned to apply the same principle in keeping the car on the road. While the revved up engine in my head continued to purr I at least felt less out of control and quality of life appeared more often.

Suicide – Not an Option
Today with the help of medication, I see the world more in High Definition than low resolution. Have I ever had thoughts of suicide, no? But, I have many times considered some screw loose upstairs, and my friends would agree to that too. Honestly, Exercise, Bodybuilding, Eating effectively saved my life. It was just a matter of paying attention to what matters most in life.
Life is not fair at times, but each has its purpose. So no matter what comes your way it is a blessing not a curse, an opportunity not a burden, but maybe more important, it is a GIFT more than anything. Try getting daily exercise, a gift that keeps on giving.
