At this point my boyfriend and I are almost breaking up.. and it's all because of my ADHD-Innattentive. I'm a very sweet and driven girl who has a lot of compassion for animals, so I'm going into veterinary medicine. I don't do drugs, I don't smoke or party, and rarely drink. I eat right and exercise and I have goals and ambitions.. I'm optimistic, patient, understanding, and can communicate with a logical and an unbiased mind when I need to. All around I love myself for many reasons. But recently I've finally been able to understand why life has been so difficult for me. I forget easily, I can't pay attention very well. I get easily sleepy and sluggish, never feeling that energized. I get distracted easily and it takes me longer to learn something then it should. It's very hard for me to listen or pay attention all that well. After I graduated from college and at the age of 23, I've finally been diagnosed with ADHD-inattentive, and it may be too late for my relationship with a wonderful man who is responsible, not forgetful, and driven. All my life my parents have been very frustrated with me but they made no attempts to diagnose and treat me. It took a lot of strength and prayer to get to where I am today. Now my own boyfriend thinks I'm deliberately lazy, irresponsible, and doesn't think I care to change. When I get tired or frustrated over my inabilites I tend to be in a bad mood and can't understand why. I've now started making major leaps into change.. but absolute change will take a while and this may all be too little too late. I'm devastated because he loves me very much but my ADHD-inattentive is making more of an impression on him then my real self. I just want to know if anyone out there can please help me. I've looked online and I keep getting information about ADHD-I that conflicts each other. If you had to get treated for this (preferably inattentive) please tell me how you did it. I would like to treat it the natural way before I resort to drugs. But whatever advice you can give me, I'd really like to know. I love my boyfriend very much and I just want him to know that I am trying so hard.
