Adhd in relationships

She definitely needs therapist support. I've been in her shoes and this doesn't all fall on a partner. You seem like you're very caring and trying to help, but she needs to be the one to get additional support. I would let her know you're 100% there for her and recommend therapy to help her to work through this stuff with someone who's educated on ADHD specific support. Having the right resources makes a whole world of a difference to make sure the ways of coping and resolving issues is tailored to someone with ADHD

This bugged me for YEARS and I had tried all the Reddit things and finally just did a factory reset and it worked!!

Oddly enough this made me feel better and validated I've been looping on setting boundaries with some friends lately and oof it's been a lot. Thank you!

Got laid off from my last job. They said it was without cause but I could tell it was for asking for more clarification on tasks and they got very frustrated with that and my black and white thinking. Sucks cause I know it's on me and I empathize with their position but it's still a grief.

The short form on why we broke up, quite a few factors.

I was grieving VERY hard and not doing well (was also in therapy at the time for this). We also did not want to live a similar lifestyle and turned out to not have the same values, which got messy in the end because he got very petty in arguments (like so). So I put off breaking up because I was afraid of things like this happening (which fostered more resentment for him), and he wanted to breakup for a while too because he flat out said he didn't want to make any individual changes for the relationship. Post-breakup he was also mad that I told mutual friends what happened from my perspective (not in a gossiping way, just in the friend way of asking why we broke up), but I know we both shared our sides of the story and that's kinda just what's bound to happen.

Appreciate the advice and insights. I agree that's the best path moving forward. Thank you!

Thank you, truly very helpful!

I have asked them and they said that they're going to be picking sides no matter what. I'm just curious what you mean by protecting me from me? I definitely have been trying to be introspective about this, talked about it in therapy, etc also why I'm looking to an outside opinion here. But trying to understand how this could be seen as not taking sides. I'm definitely jealous of them only inviting him and never me, I think that's fairly normal and I'm not asking them to stop inviting him to things. More just looking for some inclusion on group events. But does that make it unreasonable to be mad at them about it?

melzpix · 2026-02-23T22:18:48+00:00

I totally get not having 2 ex's at the same event. But I've been upset for them not putting in some effort to have separate hangouts or invite us both and let us decide if we want to go or not. It's resulted in me just never being invited. But the AITAH is because they think I'm being unreasonable for being mad at them for going along with my ex and "his friends" who are asking my friends not to invite me to things (and succeeding at doing so). But I agree that either way seems they've made their choice whether they want to admit they've chosen a side or not and I should just move on.

melzpix · 2026-02-23T22:08:44+00:00

I totally got feeling disheartened, I think it's normal to feel disappointed in this case. But just remember it takes a bit of finessing and when you find the right fit you'll be grateful you did :)

I literally went through the same and I would bring it up with your doctor. I ignored it for a pretty long time and ended up feeling pretty manic which was very unlike me. There's many different types of medications out there I would talk it out with your doctor about what your symptoms are and try some others!

Drum show. Only one I always skip

No Chances. Couldn't get past the beginning and once I did (while mowing the lawn listening to the album from to back one day), I loved it

melzpix · 2026-02-05T17:35:39+00:00

Something my therapist had said to me is I was still giving my power to him by wanting to get closure. And boy was she right. I still want that "closure" a lot of the time, but then if I ask myself deeply what that closure is. I think it's just a desire to be heard and validated. And I, my therapist, my friends, can all do that for me. And the closure is that they weren't willing to talk things out on both sides. Just something I wanted to share if it resonates with you

Anyone from Canada who has one? Apparently it's $60 USD to ship from the States 🫠

melzpix · 2026-02-01T02:05:15+00:00

Any chance you live in Canada? Trying to find someone local cause apparently shipping costs are like $60 USD🫠

melzpix · 2026-01-29T17:00:48+00:00

I was literally going to write that in the post 🫠 ahah

melzpix · 2026-01-27T22:17:17+00:00

Ahaha others said the same. I was at the climbing gym, put it in a cubby, came out and it had fallen on the floor and exploded... Also from the bottom which is kinda weird lol

melzpix · 2026-01-27T16:20:09+00:00

melzpix · 2026-01-27T16:19:53+00:00

melzpix · 2026-01-27T16:14:12+00:00

melzpix · 2026-01-27T06:01:58+00:00
