Re: Survival in an ADD relationship…

[Anonymous]

wife of… you are not alone!! my husband wasn’t like this when we married either,or mi should say he was taking meds at the time. He quit and thats when the trouble began….i knew he was adhd,but never seen him off medication. It is so sad to be in love with someone that won’t face the fact that he is a different person without his meds. I have tried to keep track of what causes him to be on the down side of the rollercoaster,always something tramatic of course. He is very sarcastic and hurtful,and I try not to take it personally but some days i want nothing more than to have the man i fell in love with hold me and tell me its all gonna be alright. He is very impulsive so he is no help with bills or household chores at all. He also has a need to have many many friends,even though most of these people are not very good friends. I have come to the realization that I must do what I can to make myself happy and try to be understanding of him….to a point.

You must take care of yourself too, your chest pains may be a panic attack,i get those and the first time i too thought i was having a heart attack. They wake me up in the middle of the night,and after 45 minutes or so I can go back to sleep. You are NOT crazy!! but like me it sounds like you are frustrated, i hope that we can help each other out,and others,i find this web site a great comfort to me, good luck,hope to talk to you again!
