Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "I wear this ribbon to support my son who also has ADHD!" (TeamJakob8)

MDJunction to me

carmen33"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here." (carmen33)

My doctor is out of town and I am out of my medication. Any suggestions on how to stay focused until I can get my refill? Thank you all for the comments...it really helps. Smile

I have seen that caffeine helps. Don't know if this is true.

I was also going to suggest caffeine. Does he have someone on call for him until he gets back?
