Hi all,

First time poster. I need advice on what to do about my relationship with my ADHD boyfriend. Bullet points:

-We met a few years ago.

-We started dating about a year and a half ago.

-It is a long distance relationship.

-When we met he was living with his parents and applying to teach English in South Korea. This was a big change for him after living with a roommate and working at a restaurant for a decade.

I am a 32 yo female, we have 5 kids, your's mine and ours situation and he is 39. An 11 year relationship would seem crazy to anyone but to someone like me, I find it normal. I have planned 3 weddings to this man, we have separated 3 times, and after reading this book, have now been in a committed relationship still  living apart, for 3 weeks. Kind of funny how all those three's keep popping up huh?

This is my first post and it feels great that other people out there feel the same as I do. I'm not crazy after all. But it's exactly how I feel.

Main question: has anyone had experience with you or a spouse being evaluated for ADHD while serving in the military? 

I was just venting and not very helpful to the board this morning so I deleted it.

I'm glad to see an article on this subject.

Nearly everyone, as they age, declines cognitively and/or physically.    What kind of decline it is matters to how it can be treated, or how one can adapt one's life to compensate the loss of mental or physical capacity.

Hi All,

Just wanted to ask you what you thought about the self-screening as the main (or only) diagnostic tool for ADHD. Many therapists do this - base the whole diagnosis on that piece of paper, filled by the patient. And that's it. Voila. You immediately know if you have ADHD.
