I have been married to my husband for 15 years. He suffers from ADD, which for a long time I classified as being “lazy, unmotivated, not responsible, not attentive, wanting others to enable him,etc.” I have learned to maintain the house completely by myself and have accepted that fact that he will never take out the trash or even remember trash day, or pick up anything around the house. However we struggle because he is self-employed and his ADD symptoms directly affect our checkbook. When he becomes unmotivated and mentally freezes, we lose money. Being a highly organized person, I can keep up with everything else, but I can’t take on more responsibility and do his job too. I asked him to just get a regular job, but he said he cannot work for someone else. I fear we will lose our house.

It is interesting to note that most men and even doctors (is it because they are male?) believe that most impotence causes stem from the psychological aspects or lifestyle aspects of a man’s life. But it is also interesting to note that 60% of the men that do go to their doctor with impotence problems end up being diagnosed with diabetes.

SO, I asked my psychologist today, explained the light that went on in my head when I read this post, and also told her about the test, so she pulled one out, administered it to me, and what do ya know!? My score of 101 was pointing me correctly! SHe told me just to do some research and that we’d talk about what I’d like to do, but that I most definitely have ADHD, and I am SO relieved! I’m not just lazy! So, we’re going to talk about meds vs treatments without meds, and I’m going to pray and ask the Lord to lead me. I am way excited, and I just want you and Sarah to know that I’m so thankful that you’ve provided this dialogue- it seriously changed my life! Thanks so much guys!

My husband and I BOTH have ADD.
Our similar, multi-faceted brains and ways of thinking and communicating are a very large part of what brought us together.

We are now about 7 months into treatment – we both take short-acting generic Adderall – and it has made a difference.

But it’s a long, slow, process to begin to put structures in place that can work for us. We are pretty high functioning but it takes much much more energy than it really “should”.

Anyway, I just wanted to comment that I am glad your voice has been added to the discourse surrounding ADD and relationships. So often – even on ADD or ADHD forums – there are non-ADD spouses whose idea of “support” is trying to teach their ADD spouse The Right Way to do something. Again. Or, to completely infantilize their spouses.

You and your husband are lucky to have each other. Keep writing, and good luck.

I’m the spouse with the ADD, and it’s a constant struggle. I was on Concerta for a while, and it kept me up at night. For the last few years, I’ve been on straight up Ritalin (it’s also a whole heck of a lot cheaper!!!), supplementing in the afternoons with heavy doses of caffeine (usually iced tea) or the occasional half-dose of Ritalin if it’s really bad. I know that if I don’t have some sort of heavy whack of stimulants in the morning, whether it’s the Ritalin or a strong cup of coffee/tea, I’m completely non-functional and grouchy, and my family notices. It’s also very difficult to parent a 6 and 4 year old (one of which I *strongly* suspect inherited my ADD, but we have no medical confirmation of this yet) in that state without completely flying off the handle.

You mentioned a link between sleep disorders and ADD – I’m convinced both are intricately tied together, but I’m not 100% sold on sleep disorders being a symptom of ADD – it’s entirely possible that it’s the other way around.
