Be not afraid. I am with you.... ...is not a threat. I'm not even sure it's a command....not really... It's like a parent comforting their scared child who's woken at 2am from a nightmare. "Shh shh shh...don't be scared. I'm here."

One reason people with ADHD, including me, are usually clutter-needing people is that we struggle with object permanence. If we can’t see it, we forget it exists. So everything being in places out of sight? That doesn’t work for us.

Something to help pregnant women. Small but important. Breast pumps. The inexpensive ones HURT. I realized this recently when I used a pump under $100 while waiting for a part to fix my regular pump (almost $300). I had to ice my breasts with frozen peas. There is a program...
