[That Guy with ADHD]

Much like Kollasch40 I am in a particularly troubling point in my relationship with my wife of 21 years.  She is sick of being my “Mother”, having to remind me to do things all the time and feeling rejected when I don’t do things she asks me to do (or doing things she asks me not to).  I, too, have been feeling angry about her nagging and have been lashing out lately.  My depression and anxiety have hit an all time high.  Have I reached the “Tipping Point”?  It’s not the first time I have read comments like these about ADDers.  Klmillscats has some good suggestions.  I think that I have to get formally diagnosed so that I can get proper treatment/meds.  I think that if I can get my ADD symptoms in check things will get better for us.  My wife deserves so much better from me.  Although we have brought up devorce neither of us truely want that.  If I did it would be to let her go so she could persue a better life somewhere else.  It’s hard to say but there have been many times when I have thought to end it so she could be happy again.

Thanks to those who have and will post to this tread.  I wish you all the best.
