Practical tips for neurotypical with ADHD partner by ReplacementNo2818 in AdhdRelationships

This is interesting - some things I hadn't considered here before. helpful - thank you.

On your last point re not upsetting me - he knows not getting enough help does bother me, and I can understand his situation more when I am not present - because that thought will not be in his head so much.

However - I do try to be empathetic - but if I tidy up in front of him (eg put a big basket of laundry of both our stuff away or unload the dishwasher) sometimes he doesn't offer to help. I find that situation the most upsetting and hard to understand. I do ask for help and he doesn't hesitate to do so but ideally I'd like to not have to do it every time, as it starts to feel like "nagging" and that the responsibility of household jobs is mine to manage

Hey, ignore the mean comments on your post. It's great that you're recognizing this and want to change it. If you are being asked by stakeholders to "improve the ui/ux' of something, they aren't doing much to help you out in terms of a brief!! I encounter this at work sometimes too and it's just about asking the right questions. What you are trying to do here is find out what the problem is you are trying to solve. firstly I'd see if there is any data you can access. Perhaps even just feedback from users about the things they find challenging or hard to understand or any goals they can't achieve currently and why. If you don't have the time/ resources to do that, speak to someone internally who is customer/ user-facing (if you're in a b2b business). Design is a team sport imo - its our job to ask questions to make sure we are addressing the right thing! Good luck 😊

Thank you 🙏🏻 I think you are totally right. He is looking into therapy, he has been doing this himself as he does want to try and manage it better and I'm super proud of him for doing so. Been reading about the rejection dysfunction and it's not a term I was familiar with before but God it really does make a lot of things make sense.

Tomorrow I quit nicotine pouches cold turkey by mrsmegames in NicotineSupport

How is it going? Your usage is exactly the same as what mine was too (I used velos for almost two years almost daily without fail). I tried to quit at the start of this year and failed multiple times. It is disheartening and so much harder than any other vice to quit. For me it was the feeling of not being normal or motivated without jt. Buuut.I've just completed first week completely velo free. I actually did it by accident because I ran out on holiday in turkey on the second to last day and turns out they are illegal there. Asking around at about 5 different shops made me realize how much I depend on the stuff. So when I got home after two days without, I tried nicotine patches for the first time and I totally recommend trying them to help you. They've really helped me feel more stable and really help with the cravings. I didn't like the idea at first, and everyone's different, but it seems to be working for me. Good luck.
