My ADHD-Inattentive is ruining my relationship.. please help.?

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.

  1. love me
  2. Let me know if you find something that works for you. I've been trying to "fix" myself with caffeine (just tea, because coffee is way to much for me). It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I guess I drank a little too much tea, and I felt like I was on drugs or something. When I drink the right amount, my brain feels so good. It's a bit strange, but whatever I look at, I can concentrate. I actually was able to finish a whole tv show, after quite a while.
  3. Here is the only site and the best free method i know of where people are reporting they are healing this comparatively quickly... see below, that is what i would do... as well as a complete hormonal evaluation and treatment by specialists like those below ... this could cause all this too, even at a younger age (thyroid, sex,adrenal, cortisol) and finally, i am sure your parents justwanted to give you a chance to grow out of it,... many people know that medicine have very few answers , and/or healing... take care... I would EFT everything from birth to present day, and go from there... your bf might like this method, too... please at least try it The reason you find so much about it that conflicts, is that many diagnosis have become like a garbage pail for anything bothering people, you may not even have it... You could , if all else fails, go to a real psych evaluation place and be completely evaluated... if you like drphil dot com, you could check that out....too
