I'm the non-ADD spouse. I definitely feel numb towards my ADD husband. I have for years. GK

Physically numb or just kinda "out of it?"

There are definitely days where I feel like I'm going through the motions without really being present. It often comes along with boredom - not the boredom where you have nothing to do, but the boredom where you don't want to do anything. My husband (who does not have ADHD) has NO idea what I mean when I say that - I'm under the impression it's an ADHD thing.

I find it helps to do something really physical - something that makes me sweat and breathe hard. Getting in touch with my body seems to connect my mind to my world a little bit more. Failing that, I just try to get through the day and hope tomorrow is better.

I'm to the point that I sleep a lot, I stay in my pajamas most of the day, I spend most of my time on the internet or watching Retro TV reruns of shows I watched 30 years ago. I'm just spinning my wheels. I just recently got fired from a job I had close to 6 years, and then I decided to take an early retirement. Now, my life has no focus. I have no structure in my life, no real goals. And I'm getting bored silly. I hope this is just a phase I'm going through, as I try to redefine myself outside the parameters of the working world. It's like I'm having some kind of identity crisis. Having ADD on top of it isn't helping.
