I totally get this. I have ADHD too and spent years trying to "manage" it with strategies and systems. But you're right – why manage something when you can transform your entire relationship with focu…
For a change of pace, have you had any fun/unexpected perks you gained from your struggle? — As someone with adhd and cptsd I've always been good at reading people, which I know now is because I had to learn this shit to be able to predict my parents emotional states. I got into fighting ga…
Oh man, I feel this post in my bones! As someone with ADHD who built a whole business helping other ADHD entrepreneurs (Scattermind), I can tell you you're definitely not alone. The "100 ideas but ca…

So for me shame spirals are something I deal with as an anxious attachment and also as someone with adhd. What really helps me when I’m in that space is to force myself into some kind of routine, even…
Its bc you are conflating effort and safety. Sending a 100 text every day/ spending time together quickly only shows someone with ADHD and or someone love bombing you. Safety ONLY can happen after…
> only shows someone with ADHD and or someone love bombing you. Talk about conflating, don't merge those two as the motivations are entirely different.
Two things can be true at once. Someone with ADHD might not have the cognitive awareness to decipher they ARE love bombing.... at least the way i understand love bombing, I know there's certainly pp…
The irritability and lost patience you mentioned is really common in early sobriety + ADHD combo -- and it is not a character flaw. Alcohol suppresses emotional regulation for years, so when it is gon…
As someone with ADHD, it's the disorder causing the bedrot. I usually fill up my day with stuff, appointments, plans or meetings to keep busy. OR MUSIC, headphones with something blaring gets me throu…
Never mind whether it's about people or not. I can't stand it when someone goes on and on and on and on and on and on about something. I'm someone that was diagnosed with ADHD so, having to endure thi…
Yeah exactly. If there's anything I've learned this year, it's that you cannot reason with unreasonable people. It's definitely not the best way to reason with your parents, I'll say that, but sometim…
As someone with adhd, it’s not meant to be disrespectful. Having something going in the background literally does let us focus on the people and tasks in front of us better. I read somewhere once th…
As someone with ADHD, this sounds like untreated ADHD. You should chat with your doctor about this and look up ‘ADHD-Inattentive with Memory Problems.’ But yes, definitely cut back on social media/us…
As someone with ADHD who was unable to use medication until recently, what you described sounds exactly like me at my unmediacated worst. But I know from experience that excessive weed use, lack of …
As someone with ADHD, try not to do that. Don't beat yourself up about it of course but try not to blame your problems on ADHD or whatever else you may have. Acknowledge it, know that it makes your li…
I’ve go a couple invisible disabilities. I bought my partner a book called “loving someone with adhd” and another only called “loving someone with bipolar.” He is reading the first one now. It is taki…
This is so beautifully put. Even though I understand EIYPO, I still struggle when my mind and body forcefully intrudes the negative flashbacks and feelings of the old story. Putting what happened in t…
I know everybody’s saying to leave her, but this sounds like severe ADHD and/or depression. I don’t think she meant to “take advantage of you”. Speaking as someone with ADHD, it’s almost like a physic…
So just want to disclose I've been out of the field for a few years now due to my own health issues. However this is a big interest of mine and I'm also still constantly discovering new things myself …
I think you need to encourage him to look into treatment for his ADHD. Has he seen any other mental health professionals? Has he used medication in the past? Organising all of that can be overwhelming…
I can understand, as someone with ADHD it takes a lot to mindfully listen and engage in conversations. Some people (like your BF) are just unable to read their audience. They don't actually give the…
It could very well be that she's on the asexual spectrum. But also worth considering reading up on primary and secondary reasons for attraction (psychology keywords are: spontaneous and responsive lib…
I know you mentioned that you suspect your boyfriend might have ADHD. As someone with ADHD that also sometimes manifests as "forgetfulness" and """laziness""", the longer I put off a task I know is im…
Most people can't understand what they haven't felt. Like i couldn't understand what someone with adhd is going through since I dont have it, so if someone with adhd ever needs advice I won't say the …
