Late diagnosis and relationship issues

I was diagnosed in my 40s, didn't realize that all my struggles were stemming from this. I was only diagnosed with dyslexia as a child. I believe my mother is undiagnosed. My childhood was good but very chaotic. Anyway, I struggle with relationships, my partners all lose patience with me and say being with me is like being with a child and I am not dependable. I cannot change my brain. I just ended a 10 year relationship and I am terrified to get in another. I feel like I only bring stress amd chaos on anyone I am with. Does anyone feel this way?

I'm sorry it took so long to get diagnosed but at least now, you'll be less confused, and have more answers and support and learn what you need.

I'm sorry you broke up .

I hope in time you heal and are happy, but never let anyone make you feel less, because you aren't 💕💜
