Greetings community members!

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 feel so overwhelmingly pressed on to write this that I am doing it while at work. I am here to tell my story, in short, on how this book saved my 11 year relationship to my partner. 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.

Hi all ,

As I glanced at this list of symptoms and recommendation's specific to a person with the predominant Hyperactive-Impulsive Type ADHD, it seems extremely clear to me now this is where I belong and fit into the scheme of ADHD and exactly which of the 3 types a person would be diagnosed.  I have to remember, that being on medication for as long as I have, that the medication itself has done a pretty good job of shifting these symptoms or modifying them enough that many of these symptoms have diminished to the point where ( these particular symptoms ) are no longer really at issue.  What I have

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.
