Dam.demiwitch chapter 1 . 4/15/2019 Someone who finally gets it! I have ADD an edit can be the most frustrating thing ever. |
Dam.demiwitch chapter 1 . 4/15/2019 I can completely relate with Sherlock. It's like you're trying to catch one leaf whipping by in the wind but there's so many leaves and you get overwhelmed. |
Ballerninja chapter 1 . 7/17/2017 So... wow. Just wow. I have no words, really. I mean... I have ADD, and this is it. This is it EXACTLY. There are Bad days. And Worse days. And it doesn't just go away. It builds, and then releases. And I nearly cried reading this the first time throughyes, I have now read it more than oncebecause someone actually UNDERSTANDS. Someone GETS it. I've also gone and read your other one along this timeline, and I was not disappointed. Thank you |
Katie chapter 1 . 5/29/2016 I'm just sitting here and oh my goodness that was beautiful and I have ADD and I've had bad days and Bad Days and worse but I didn't know that it was an ADD thing! Nobody told me about it and I don't know many others with ADD (and I site my brother here as evidence that ADD and ADHD are very different things) I just thought there was something extra wrong with me that I sometimes can't function or think or anything and I feel like crying because you describe it so well! And the time thing in your first one too. I just want to hug you because you explain this so well that words don't adequately describe how I feel right now... |
Grac3 chapter 1 . 5/23/2014 Absolutely brilliant! I love the thoughts and the bits in the brackets. So wonderfully written. |
CanisLupusBibliophilus chapter 1 . 4/3/2014 I read this and your other story, Perception, and I knew I had to write a review. I was a little skeptical because I know there are a lot of writers that just can't capture what it's like. You see, I have ADD and when I read these two stories, I started crying because it felt so much like my own mind at times. I kept thinking, "It's alright, it's okay, I understand! I get it, I get you!" I kept wondering why I thought it was such a good idea to read them, but I'm glad I did because it feels wondering to read your own thoughts in another person's writing. |
lifechiaroscuro chapter 1 . 11/11/2013 Wow. Someone who totally gets it. I have to say, I'm rather amazed at how fluent this is. I would never be able to describe it so well - it's much too jumbled for me. Granted, I do also suffer rather heavily from the oh so lovely 'comorbidity', and the ADD in particular tends to mix and blend with the others. On a related topic, the three fics have actually been rather enlightening for me as far as my own difficulties, so thanks. Amazing fic! The descriptions really were amazingly vivid and accurate, and the characterization was spot on. :) Caity :) |
EverydayClumsy chapter 1 . 11/3/2013 Man, that was amazing... |
WerewolvesAreReal chapter 1 . 5/21/2013 Lovely! Feels very real, especially his struggle between wanting and denying help - great writing! |
Whirlwind421 chapter 1 . 2/27/2013 Very interesting. I enjoyed that. |
kaiiju chapter 1 . 5/8/2012 This is fantastic, and seems to echo my conspiracy theories eerily well. Thanks for the great read! |
fight-thedead-fear-theliving chapter 1 . 5/2/2012 This is such a good portrayal of Sherlock. I can feel his struggle and frustration. The metaphors you used to capture these feeling are amazing, as well. I also really like the relationship you set up with John- very fitting. |
runningawayfromthisaccount chapter 1 . 4/9/2012 Amazing. That's all there is to say. I've never read another author who is able to characterize Sherlock as spectacularly as you do. |
sami1010220 chapter 1 . 4/5/2012 wow, great job! the imagery at the end was beautiful |
Basser chapter 1 . 3/14/2012 I hope you have ADD as well because if not I'd be wondering how you managed to mind-read me. Scarily accurate depiction of a Worse Day. Jesus did you ever give me some serious panic flashbacks of high school. The whole papercut scenario and desperately wishing you could drug up and have some goddamn control again? Brilliant. And especially liked the little blurb about not binning the experiments because you know you'll want them later when your brain's stopped falling apart on you. Lost count of how many projects I scrapped in a fit of "this will never work everything is awful" only to wake up the next day and be furious with myself for trashing them. Overall just excellent little story, sets a perfect atmosphere and sent this sufferer of "the deficit" scrambling for their afternoon dose of adderall. |
