Reply To: Relapsed combined adhd on concerta . I need help please ! Am I going mad

Hi Kirky, this is a quick post to send a virtual hug, and to stress that you are not going mad – you really aren’t. But you may be on the point of an important crisis. Commitment, 24/7 interaction at home, parenting, time deadlines, organisation, emotional steadiness, juggling the needs of others and meeting our own – these are all pressure points for anyone with ADHD. Throw in low self esteem – your worry about your partners fidelity is all about how rubbish you feel about yourself – and it’s a heady mix.

There is no relapse from ADHD, but perhaps what has happened is that your current love and life situation is the first time that your ADHD has been challenged within adulthood – and it’s all too much right now. You are overwhelmed and emotionally out of control.

Please see your Doctor again and if possible find some talking therapy, You are experiencing an anxiety crisis brought on by your ADHD – me too. You are not alone.

Take care x
