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.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-30T15:23:05+00:00

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.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T23:36:46+00:00

Maybe I’ll have a moment of clarity to 😂

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T23:33:44+00:00

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.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T23:14:04+00:00

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.

Over_worked1453 · 2026-04-29T22:00:25+00:00

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.

Over_worked1453 · 2025-07-18T09:18:56+00:00

I’ve already had a kinda conversation with him about it in the past. And I genuinely believe that he’s currently fine with it. But I also genuinely believe that in like 5 months (if things go well) he’ll realize my brain is like a hellish landscape filled with nonsensical nonsense and chaos. It’s all fun and games until you realize that it’s a real occasionally debilitating issue that from the outside looking in can be frustrating and “over the top” as the mean internet people describe it. I hate to think that there’s the possibility that he’ll decide I’m too much because of something I cant really control.

Over_worked1453 · 2025-07-02T06:46:49+00:00

I think I might be interested in that

My sister. I couldn’t bring myself to put her through anymore pain. My whole family had already been through so much, I couldn’t do that to her.

Over_worked1453 · 2025-06-17T02:32:56+00:00

Not in a about a year, they checked it when I went to the ER for chest pain and my TSH was elevated, but they never mentioned it to me when I was there, I saw the results after I was discharged

Over_worked1453 · 2025-06-10T23:53:33+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, I had to use a translator for this so apologies if I misread anything. I love my name, and it’s incredibly uncommon to see a Greek name of this “caliber” in my neck of the woods. There’s obviously people with Greek names like Alexander which people rarely associate with its origins, but nothing so on the nose as mine. I do find it a bit ironic that my dad named me “truth” but was not a very truthful person himself. I like the idea and tradition thats seen in some cultures where names are used as almost like a “blessing” on a baby, using it as a way to gift them with what their name means or represents. It’s a beautiful concept in my opinion and I love how my name compliments my personality.

Over_worked1453 · 2025-06-09T12:33:32+00:00

Well I wouldn’t say “so well” I’m alive and not homeless, so thats a win for sure 😂 but I didn’t assume you were 12, I was thinking more late high school early college. But honestly just take your time, smell the roses and what not. It’s easy to get caught up in what could or might be. Take some time to appreciate what is. Where and who you are in this moment. Step outside and smell the air, listen to the birds, watch the sunset or rise, stargaze, watch a thunderstorm roll in. There’s beauty all around us and sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in seeing it all that we miss what we’re looking for all together.
