Anyone's SO have ADHD???

Question

How do you handle it? I'm struggling with it ,its starting to take a toll on our relationship. He cant keep a job, hobby, friends, anything for very long. Very unpredictable with daily activities. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Answer

My husband does. He's been on medication for it since high school. It does not effect his job or relationships or rather he doesn't allow it to effect those.

The only time it gets annoying is when I'm trying to have a conversation with him and he hasn't taken his meds yet. His mind is like a Google chrome with a dozen different tabs open.

Answer

That sounds like maybe a little more than adhd... Has he tried talking to a doctor or counselor?

Answer

My husband does but it's not bad like that at all.  It really gets in the way when I'm trying to have a serious conversation about something, making plans, being on time...that kind of thing.  Nothing really helps it and I'm done being fed up with it.  It is what it is and it's how he is

Answer

Does he take any medication for it?

Answer

I have ADHD and autism, fiancé has autism and ADD. His ADD doesn't really affect our relationship at all. It's our autism that can clash.

Therapy and medication can be quite helpful. What specifically is the issue?

Answer

A therapist does wonders to a person who needs help. They will give coping strategies and discuss problem solving

Answer

New meds come out all the time. It sounds like it'd be worth finding a specialist for him to see & find out what meds/therapy he might be able to try now.
