ADD/ADHD love.....
Hello there my name is Melissa , I read your blog & I absolutely love it . I myself have been ADD for 30 yrs , I myself suffered terrible struggles in elementry school & Middle school . It wasn't until I was reached high school , then became more aware of my ADD & how my brain worked , my strengths & weakinesses . I will say this , my family & how I grew up really made a major impact on me & my ADD , I grew up in a very tight, loving christian family , none of my family members ever treated me differently because of my ADD, no one ever told me that because of my ADD I couldn't go to collage & get a degree, ect ect . I know my mom is my biggest fan & has always told me that god made me ADD for a reason & not to listen to out side world . Now I will definately say that beining in a relationship with someone who is ADHD , when you are ADD is incredibly intense & can be stressful at times . The reason why I say this is because I have been with the love of my life for 9 1/2 yrs , he him self is ADHD , but does not take any kind of medication for it ( which i sometimes wish he would ) I think a stimulate in the morning would help him stay on task for the first part of the day . any way , my hubby is not only ADHD he is also OCD , which definately doesn't mix with my ADD , to say the least , MY ADD & His OCD don't make a good pair. Truth of the matter is, being someone who is ADD herself & in a relationship with someone who is ADHD , I will tell you that , our relationship can be very intense at times , my husband tends to easly get frustrated with stuff , which really frustrates me , simply because I don't get easly frustrated , I am more patient & take my time doing things , I also am pretty good at multi tasking , rather my husband takes for ever to get one simple task done , on top of that my husband has no concept of time , he is cronically late to everything . How ever even with all these little frustrations that we have , I still love him with all my heart , I completely understand what he is going through , simply because I have been there. I will say this , you have to really have a patient heart to being with someone who is ADD/ADHD , fact of the matter is being in a relatioship when you ADD/ADHD , makes normal relationship problems look like a piece of cake.
