Need to understand ADHD
Hi! I don't have ADHD, but mi boyfriend has been diagnosed and I want to understand more about it. I want to talk with someone who can explain me more about it because I want to know what is happening inside his mind.

That’s brilliant, I love people wanting to learn more to help, my wife has been amazing like this.
theres loads of ways for us to give you info, some will be different from others as everyone learns and takes it on different.
so if you have a list of questions you want to ask, pop them in here and we can answer away for you.
That's a good idea, i'm going to make a list and ask here because sometimes it's really difficult for me to understand him. I was diagnosed with BPD and I try to be empathic because people usually don't know how difficult is to make your daily life with a disorder, but sometimes he makes things that I can't just explain or even understand.

adhd is weird, it's fun sometimes when you can just really get into a hyperfixation but when there's no hyperfixation, life is boring and bleh and almost depressibg before you get to the next hyperfixation
at least that's a simplified version of one aspect of it for me while I was unmedicated
forgetfulness and disorganization are hard to manage, so patience is always helpful because we are trying, but there's so much we think we have to keep track of it's weird.
That' was confusing but hopefully that helps a tiny bit
Letting someone with ADHD ramble about what they're currently into is really nice, interrupting is common among those with adhd so it's not malicious but you can point it out and ask the person to try and be more conscious, etc
anyway yeah :) feel free to ask questions, I'm legit half asleep right now so hopefully that was coherent but I promise I have it and know what's up
Rambling is fun, as I said lol
