I agree with you that TV can be helpful when it isn't "too much". A person's mood and the expectations from the environment such as family or work demands also greatly impact how TV is experienced. Unfortunately, folks with ADHD often report "hyperfocusing" on TV, loosing track of a lot of time and later beating themselves up about watching TV. Sounds like you good insight into your experiences and are practicing mindful TV watching! Thank you for your input and compliment on our blog!

(This appraisal differs acc. to my mood)I have seen that TV anesthetizes me, though if I'm alone and need to "Connect" b/c I'm a hard-working single that it can be helpful -yet not too much. Thanks . I find your blog, very good so far.
