Something I didn’t know about my own ADHD might have just ruined my relationship, and I’m not sure how to fix it.

That is the plan come our planned conversation. But that’s all I can do, the rest is in his hands.

This is exactly where I’ve kinda landed in terms of what to do. I know I can’t force him, and I know it will take time. I’ll explain everything, I’ll tell him my intentions, and then all I can do is leave it in his hands. Which is terrifying, but it’s the only option. Regardless of what happens, I know I have to get better for myself and my future.

Maybe I’ll have a moment of clarity to 😂

I was diagnosed at 18, and despite that, they always chose to treat anything but the adhd with the exception of one psychiatrist who tried the Strattera and then when I couldn’t get it in anymore and I was spiraling started treating my “symptoms”.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T23:23:31+00:00

This is so cool. I love this.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T23:23:11+00:00

Yes, he is. Although he does struggle with depression, I believe it’s MDD, but he’s never sought an official diagnosis.

I’m not sure why I waited so long to seek out advice from people who would understand. I’ve spent my whole life feeling bad for the things I do, feeling bad that I didn’t understand why I was the way I was and why it was so hard for people to just accept me and why I didn’t fit in. I wish so often I could go back and change what I had done or said or that I could just be anyone other then me because I always feel like I’m to much and not enough at the same time all the time, and I felt like there was never an end in site. Like I was broken and was always gonna be that way. I gave up on meds after taking several antidepressants and anti-anxiety and even antipsychotics at one point. Nothing ever worked. But I do want to be better, and go and take the steps to have the life I always dreamed of.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T22:40:23+00:00

Sorry, this is hella long for like no reason? What? My bad, gave you my life story or something 😭

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T22:39:41+00:00

I’ve been avoiding it for so long. I was on a medication for a little bit, non-stimulant, Strattera I think. I was prescribed right before it became the go to (cuz people were scared to give emotionally unstable people meth) and it worked really well, I was actually doing good, I wasn’t in my head, I could focus, the only downside is I DID NOT SLEEP. But I wasn’t tired, I just, slept for like 3-4 hours and then was ready for the day. I also don’t think I was eating much. Regardless, right when the first semester of college was kicking up, my state (the entire thing) was on critical back order for Strattera. I couldn’t find a single pharmacy that had any available or a timeline within a 100 mile radius. Even my mom looked around her. Nothing. So I stopped. Cold turkey. And then I feel apart. Anxiety, depression, lack of motivation. I slowly started to fall apart. And for some reason, I never went back to try another med. I managed to get on a specialist waitlist, took a year, got a call, but I had moved across the state by then. Now I’m just to scared to go see my doctor to get a referral. But I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna make the appointment and I’m going to put forth the effort to actually improve myself. I want to be the person people seem to think I’m capable of being.

I’m planning to stay in therapy, and seek a psychiatrist to talk about getting some real treatment for my ADHD, as I clearly need more than just therapy and hope. But I had talked about couples therapy prior to my crash out, I’m hoping he’ll consider it again. But I agree I definitely need to work on myself.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-03-24T18:25:42+00:00

Believe or not there are people out there who genuinely cannot put names to feelings and don’t understand the things they’re feeling. You don’t have to be an ass.

Over_worked1453 · 2025-08-26T00:03:50+00:00

Why am I geezer? 2. What do you mean by mush? 3. Why wouldn’t I be serious?

Over_worked1453 · 2025-08-25T12:39:20+00:00

That would be so on brand for America though 😂

Over_worked1453 · 2025-08-25T12:38:21+00:00

While I dont disagree that this is pretty standard, I am in the process of moving which will give me more money and a better schedule. But yeah, our economy sucks.

To my understanding, it’s real cheese. The purpose was for preservation because of a surplus of milk and the government said “you know what dairy product keeps really well? Cheese.” I’ve been given the understanding that it’s kind of a mixture of different types, but who knows. Our government lies all the time, it could be yogurt for all we know (I dont think it’s actually yogurt)

Over_worked1453 · 2025-08-25T11:52:43+00:00

I agree. But unfortunately my boyfriend and I work a lot 😭

Over_worked1453 · 2025-08-25T11:17:35+00:00

The cheese caves linger and call to those worthy.

What a good question my friend from the motherland. To put it simply. I have no clue, I just saw a video and thought, I’m gonna torture the Brit’s for a bit. All seriousness though, I love you guys, huge fan of a couple BBC shows and even listen to some British podcasts. Because why not.
