Hi, I'm 'give-and-take'
give-and-take
Scope Member Posts: 2 Listener
I lived with undiagnosed ADHD for years. Though mild, it still has been problematic, and in direct opposition to my other condition CFS/ME. The first drives me to keep active all the time, the latter needs me to rest to pace myself, to live within the uglily-named 'energy envelope'.
Its been quite challenging to balance the two, especially following a major CFS/ME relapse 3 yrs ago - leaving me mostly bed/housebound.
Thankfully, with my husband's support - I'm coping okay 😀

Evening @give-and-take and and welcome to the community. How are you managing in this heat? It's so warm at the moment, so I hope you are staying safe and well
Thank you for telling us a bit about yourself, I'm sure you will find the online community to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you'd like
It's great to hear you have a supportive husband, you must be really appreciative of that. Aside from him, do you have any support in place from a doctor or specialist if you need to access them at all?I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:
- The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
- The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
- The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community
If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
