Co-Morbid= Multiple Illnesses or Disorders

Co-Morbid= Multiple Illnesses or Disorders
on: August 15, 2007 by: Bryan Hutchinson 1 Comment ...

Co-morbidity with ADDers is fairly common. When I first heard the world ‘Co-morbid’ I was kind of creeped out. I have to admit, the word morbid is involved and to me that sounds kind of, well, morbid. Doesn’t it? Co-morbid doesn’t mean anything like what I thought. Co-morbid is a term used when referring to the fact that more than one disease or disorder is present and they are related in some manner. Personally, I would prefer another word had been selected for such a description. Nobody really wants to explain their illnesses or disorders as morbid.

Having ADD or ADHD does not mean your thoughts, ideas and creativity are not valid! So many of us with ADD/HD have grown up in a world of invalidation and it has affected us throughout our lives—in our careers, in our relationships and worst of all in our own personal worlds of creative thinking. Adders have brilliantly creative minds. I have said that before and I will say it again. You are a creative genius and you have ideas with the potential to be great! Yes, indeed you do! I have never been more serious about a subject than this. If nobody has ever told you that you are a creative genius, well, that ends now. You are a creative genius! Get up and go look at yourself in the mirror. You will be looking at a person who can create and not just any creations, creations of substance, of […]

© Bryan L. Hutchinson Positive Thinking part2 post1:         Potential The one thing all of us Adders seem to have in common is that we attract attention. It just does not matter what we do. We can stand still and we attract attention. We can be home, under the covers and in a deep sleep and we still attract attention. Why is that? Because we are remarkable? Because we are amazing? Or, because we do things that just don’t make sense and it peeks the curiosity of others? Well, yeah, all of those things, but, I am thinking it’s something more and I can sum it up in one word, a word you have probably heard more often than you can remember: Potential.

I just approved your comment. I want to thank you for your enthusiasm concerning my article about Paris Hilton and her situation with ADD. I normally would not write a post for a comment, however, you asked some important questions and I want to take a moment to answer them. Others might have the same questions: Unfortunately, no, I do not have a way of contacting Ms. Hilton. When I write about someone I try to let them know that their name has been mentioned. I did leave a message on CNN’s site for Larry King. No, I have not heard from him. Yes, I do believe we could spread the word and awareness of ADD together if she so desired. Yes, I did write a little about ADD and Ms. Hilton in my book. It is a short concise part similar, but shorter, than the article I wrote and […]

The wonderful people at http://www.parishiltonsite.net/ posted parts of my article on Paris Hilton and her ADD! If you ever wanted to know as much as possible about Paris Hilton, I gotta admit, their site has the info! You know, just the other day I heard someone talking about how stupid Paris Hilton was for saying she read the bible and then couldn’t remember what she read on Larry King, and then that person mentioned how Larry King just let her get away with it! Let me make something very, very clear. Obviously, Larry King understands the disorder of ADD. An Adder could read a book 20 times and might never remember any exact quote from the book, unless, the book was in hand at the time of the request. Ever wonder why we have so much difficulty in school? I am sure she read what she said she read, but, […]
