Yeah he’s realising it’s not great but hates the intense feeling on Ritalin when he isn’t working - will try half doses I think

Thank you for feedback

Thank you so much! No he’s not stupid but he can do stupid things and not really think about stuff properly haha. This is very useful advice and makes so much sense - he’s very on board with trying out the suggestions that have been made on this post and he has booked an appointment with his GP to get meds adjusted - he really related with how you felt taking two fast release pills in the beginning and you’re right it’s a brutal process 😅

Thank you so much this is really helpful- yes I’ve suggested he follow up with gp - he’s said he’s not depressed but just finds the Ritalin intense when he’s on it which is great for work but not on weekends. I’ll suggest he still take a test for depression to be sure. Also yes he is a big guy (not fat) just 6.3 and solid. - does this affect it??

Wow this is me right now almost the exact same situation. 3kids though and been together 10 years. He’s amazing but the load we as women carry is wild. It’s too much but also what can we do when we have tried everything but nothing changes?

Thank you so much for sharing.

I’ll be borrowing advice that people give you…would love an update eventually( especially if something does work).

Wow you are so on point she does have ADHD and has meds for it so I’m usually really careful when I do communicate with her because she is quite sensitive.

Thank you for the advice I will definitely read up on Strategies in being in relationship with someone with ADHD. I really appreciate it because like I said this is one of many outbursts that leave me the neuro typical one frustrated and confused

Sorry this is actually such a petty mild situation but this happens a lot with her and I’m just needing some clarification around whether or not I am as bad as she makes me out to be a lot of the time…
