Hobbies are good
Submitted by YYZ on
Hobbies are great for everyone. I have ADD and have my hobbies, electronics, computers and my car, childish I know :-) I try do work on these hobbies after the "Need to do's" are done, usually late night, sometimes in free moments on the weekend (Rare). My wife used to complain that she wished she had hobbies, and kind of resented mine. Not really fair, as I always encouraged her trying to find a hobby or go see her best friend on the weekends and so on. Now she has discovered painting and it quite good and has gotten involved in her church, which I attend for regular service with her. The trick for us ADDer's is to not let the hobby consume everything, which was hard for me before medication and my study of ADHD's effects.
Yes... Get a hobby, as we all need a little escape from all the "Have to-do's" in life...
