ADD & Loving It?!
ADD and Loving it Trailer from TotallyADD.com on Vimeo.
ADD & Loving It?! takes a humorous approach at tackling a sometimes sensitive topic: living with Adult ADHD.
ADD & Loving It?! is a refreshing, witty and inspiring documentary about adult Attention Deficit Disorder (also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD). The one-hour film . . . is hosted by actor/comedian Patrick McKenna and written, produced and directed by fellow comedian, Rick Green.
ADD & Loving It?! explores and explains the disorder by following Patrick’s journey for a diagnosis so he can confirm what he’s always suspected – that he has ADD. Along the way, Patrick and his wife Janis open up about their challenges and struggles, something Janis admits “we’ve spent our whole lives trying to hide.”
The documentary strikes the right balance of covering a wide range of information while delving just enough below the surface to feel you’ve learned something of substance.
Short and fast-paced, it’s a worthwhile watch for folks with ADHD as well as their family members and significant others. I’d recommend this as a “must watch” for anyone whose been recently diagnosed for a quick dose of the understanding, self-empathy and acceptance that you’re going to need.
Personally, after taking time to watch it on my own, I made a point to watch it again with my sweetie. Then I made sure to send the link to my mother to watch.
You can currently view the documentary here. (I believe it will be eventually available through TotallyADD.com)

Call for Nominations Now Open for “Women Changing the World” Award!
One of the most vital lessons I’ve learned this past year is the importance of reaching out for help. The Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute is accepting nominations for its “Women Changing the World” Award. As I’ve expressed in my most recent blog posts, the Women’s Leadership Institute was a life-changing experience for me. [...]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
what I'm up to- Happy 90210! (I think Donna was my favorite - who was yours?)
- Just noticed Craigslist's "show images" option. That's handy.

This was a really good video. I learned a lot about it. I have a few people in my life who need to see this, and I’m eager to share it. One friend in particular is struggling right now, and this would give him a lot of hope. I LOVE that Improv was the saving grace for the host as well. A chance to use that massive creativity in an environment that supports the high energy and shifting focus. Thanks for sharing this!!
Hi Anne! I’m glad you liked the video! I hope it helps your friend – as the message of the movie indicates, living with ADHD may not always be easy, but it has its upsides too! :-)
