Ok I can't seem to let go of this. For the last 3 months we have been working at our marriage. Counseling, medication and daily talks. I have worked on personal issues and changing the way I respond to him. It has been a difficult and painful journey.  We were starting to have some good times together - starting to feel like we were beginning to connect again.  I began to open myself/feelings up to him again. Building up trust that had been lost so long ago. 

Hello, I am a 23 year old male with ADHD. I honestly feel like a poster child for ADHD, but then again I bet everyone with ADHD feels that way. I have experienced every symptom in the book when it comes to ADHD. One strange thing I have experienced is the tendency to masturbate.

I have been married to my husband for 13 years we have been together for 19. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was a child and took Riatalin which helped him, but he stopped his meds at 14 and began drinking and doing drugs. Both of us come from severely abusive childhoods and the more I research on adult ADHD  the more I suspect I have a milder form of it than my husband but the same symptoms I have struggled with all my life. What an eye opener!

My boyfriend and I have been together for two years now, and we have lived together that entire time as well. We were also friends for a few years before we started dating.

At the time we started dating, I was going through a rough period of my life which involved family issues. I have depression and at that time I was not taking my medication, which only made the entire situation worse. I told my boyfriend that his timing was terrible, that I was emotionally a mess, and if he wanted to stick it out with me, he was going to be in for a rough ride.

I AM ON MEDICATION AND I HAVE TOLD MY WIFE THAT I WANT TO REVIVE THE RELATIONSHIP. SHE IS NOT WILLING TO DO SO AT THIS POINT, OR POSSIBLY EVER.

WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN (1 WITH ADHD). I AM SEEKING ANY KIND OF RESPONSES TO TRY TO REAGIN OUR HOUSEHOLD.

I apologize if my issues are addressed elsewhere on this site-I just don't have the time to read everything and could use some help.

2 years ago I broached with my wife the possibility that she had ADHD; she took the suggestion well, stating that she always felt she was borderline for it and had a family history. She started meds but any time I suggested that what I had read (Mostly Driven To Distraction) on the issue indicated that in addition to meds she needed a coach or someone to help her function in ways that worked for her, she resisted.

I am trying to figure out what type of coaching or counseling would be the best for me and I would

appreciate any information or personal experiences any one has had.
