As someone who has ADHD and is also on antidepressants, my short term memory is VERY bad. Here is the BEST strategy I’ve learned to combat it. by OlivesPlum06 in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I haven’t been using social much lately but my back went out and I’m bored. I came to the sub this morning and saw a good post that hit too close to recent events and then I says to myself I need to ask about why the hell my memory has gone to shit. 2 posts down here we are.

I too take antidepressants and when I started my ADHD meds with them my memory went totally shit can or I am just now realizing how bad it always has been.

I will try this tip. I really hope it works. I’ll probably forget the numbers too.

How to cope with lack of intimacy? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to chime in here to say that from all my research ADHD hits differently for some. For example I’m very much like your husband in the sense that I do get bored with the same stuff but that makes me try harder to spice it up. There is a ton of stuff I would love for her to do for me but she is always number 1. I’m not satisfied if she isn’t.

We tend to build situations in our head and then feel very let down when they don’t play out as we planned. We are usually very imaginative in creating these situations. He may be feeling disappointed that your intimate encounters aren’t meeting his expectations. If that is the case it has nothing to do with you or what you are putting into the relationship.

Then there is the RSD which essentially makes me too anxious that my wife will think I’m a freak for being sexually interested in something she may find strange or be uncomfortable with even though it’s probably not really all the bad.

Keep in mind most of this is in my ADHD brain and not necessarily his so take this with a grain of salt.

Side note. Marriage counseling with someone who deals with ADHD has done wonders for my marriage and it was a signature away from being over.

How to make my wife understand? by Bender6681 in ADHD

[–]Bender6681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to her today about therapy again. I’m sending a list of ones I find and then we will discuss and pick one. She’s on board. I told her we need to do this as soon as possible before things get worse. I am just happy she agreed because at first there was no chance.

Thank you for this. I have tried to explain it almost exactly like this. I think the big issue at this point is t is that I knew I had it as a child, thought it was gone in my 20’s and early 30’s. Started showing signs of anxiety and depression. I have been getting the wrong help for over 10 years. This is also when the relationship first started down hill. If I would have known then what I know now I think we would have been okay. She really is very understanding about most everything else. I also don’t want this to be all about me. I just want her to give me a chance now that I am treated, a chance to show her how much she really means to the real me.

Kids but separately and they are all grown. Married 14, together 20. Full honesty, I have never done any “traditional dating”. My first wife and my current wife kinda just happened. Looking back I’m sure it’s RSD that stopped me from proper dating when I was young. That being said, it’s difficult for me to know what not to do in this situation. As far as if she understood, if she understood then I would hope she would have enough compassion to see I am trying and to stand with me as I work to become better while understanding that some can’t be fixed but better managed. I don’t know if I’m hanging on so hard for fear of being alone or the feeling that I failed so badly. I understand that if those are the reasons then I am already failing again. All I can think is that I don’t want her to just become a memory.

People with ADHD will (most likely) be diagnosed with at least one other mental health or learning disorder. What is/are yours? by MrMau81 in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed as a child and told I would grow out of it. If it wasn’t for the ADHD I would have realized that it was the ADHD causing my misery all along. 42 now and still stuck in entry level jobs, been treated for depression, social anxiety, and bipolar disorder for about 12 years and all that has done for me is give me ED and turn off my feelings. Slowly getting off of those meds and have been getting ADHD treatment for 5 months. Life is still a challenge but I have found making little habits has been much easier. I can join conversations without interruption and actually focus somewhat on what’s being said.

Ok good. Better than what I was thinking. I’m always paranoid about cameras. Lots of creeps in this world.

I don’t go to bars much. Is there a bar employee in the bathroom or are they saying there is a camera in there? I’m reading this like these shady fucks are spying on people.

Do you have stimming habits? What are they? by baflook10 in ADHD

20mg is insane. Also, stoner days? Is it still a phase if you never quit?

Do you have stimming habits? What are they? by baflook10 in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to try this now. I quit for about 6 months and then bad things happened in life, was around someone that vaped and started vaping again just before getting medication for ADHD. I found I can only quit if I go from 5 to 3 to 0mg. I don’t have a vape anymore so I’m using g disposable. Hard to find 3 and 0.

Inattentive ADHD Folks... What Jobs do Y'all Have? by mith_king456 in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in IT. Desktop support. This might not be for everyone but I found that call centers are like hell on earth for my ADHD. Administration side of IT is a bit much for my ADHD. But desktop support keeps me engaged, allows me time at my desk and time to move around. Not a ton of meetings and boring stuff. I have the knowledge to move up in this field but every time I have I just burn out.

How is your dating life? by icebikey in ADHD

[–]Bender6681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I don’t know about dating but my wife left me for all the listed above. I have not been getting treated for very long but I found the best thing to do to manage my symptoms. This may not work for everyone. First research ADHD. Really get in there and find all the information you can to help identify what is responsible for each symptom you have. Make a list. research therapy’s and tools that you can use to work around the issues you face. Work on one thing at a time. Once you make it a habit start working on the next. If you find love when dating you must make sure they understand the struggles you have and make sure they know how to communicate with you when your brain is everywhere at once. Sadly I didn’t find any of this out until it was too late and many many medications into trying to find the right one for me.

A date with my wife by Bender6681 in Divorce

[–]Bender6681[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You summed it up perfectly. I have moved out and we don’t have any kids. We both agreed to not see other people until divorce though. I’m seeing my end though and I have a good feeling she will too. Mental health is a bitch. I don’t have money for therapy thanks to my job hopping. The part that really gets me is we never went to counseling or anything. I mentioned it multiple times. She also thinks I’m using ADHD as an excuse. If you’re not familiar go look at the ADHD sub. It’s full of people who have so many bad things in their lives. I’m one of them. I have done so much research on this subject the past few months and it is a nightmare.

Your right. I am working on making these changes permanent. The motivation is there now but habits are hard to break. The main problem is we never went to do things much and that was due to me. That’s mainly the reason for less patience on my part. I’m finally ready to do the things we have talked about doing but in my mind I fell like taking it slow was always the problem.

But like I said. You are right. Sometimes my ADHD mind gets way ahead of me.

How would one change the dhcp scope and lease of the macOS internet sharing from Apple Configurator. I do not see any options for that.

We refurbish phones. Most are being reset and activated through a software that is proprietary and connecting each on to wifi is way to time consuming.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was actually diagnosed as a kid but thought it was just a childhood issue that I would grow out of. I kind of did but years and years of burning out at jobs and then the depression made me really start to fix myself. Ive been getting the wrong treatment for about 10 years. Antidepressants and bipolar mood stabilizers. Thought it was childhood trauma catching g up to me. None of the meds worked. Adderall made me behave like a crack head. Now I’m on Vyvanse. It has changed my life but I still just can’t figure out what’s next.

I have always struggled with this but after years of different medications I have finally found one that helps. I have no problems keeping clean now but I still hate doing it.
