For years, we have been going to doctors and ERs because our 13-year-old (with ADHD and lots of other issues) complained of severe pain, only to be told that they could not find anything wrong.  Our new pediatrician said we should see a pediatric rheumatologist.  After an hour and a half of probing and asking questions, she said that it is Amplified Muscular-Skeletal Pain Syndrome (AMPS).  She specifically said that it is caused by stress.  She also said some kids with the condition couldn't even go to school because the pain is so bad.  Treatment includes regular exercise, massaging areas

My ADHD husband and I have had issues for years.  He's always known he had it.  He was diagnosed in the 80s-90s with ADD and took meds as a child.  Somewhere a long the line he stopped taking meds and his mom just took care of everything.  We were married when he was 27 and then I began taking care of everything.

Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum. I've read so many stories similar to my relationship. I am not married to my significant other but we act like we are. I am in a loving relationship with my boyfriend for almost three years. When we first started dating, he had everything under control (A Job, Rental House, Car, Goals, Motivation) But when COVID-19 hit, it really messed him up. He lost his job which he hated any way.

I have been navigating boundary setting with some degree of success. My spouse is ADD, non-admitted and non-medicated. He retired since 2019 and I feel like I've slowly been losing my mind ever since. .

Hello folks, just found this forum and looking for some new perspectives. 
 

My partner and I have been together over two years, they have ADHD and I'm in the process of seeking a diagnosis because I may think I have it as well. My partner and I are very in love and have top-tier communication, always able to talk out everything and explore solutions in gentle, effective ways. 

Hey all,  I'm new here so go easy lol.  First of all, I know most of the problems in my marriage I brought on myself.  I have been diagnosed, and I do take meds.  I've made some mistakes I'm not ready to fully discuss.  For the last maybe year, my drinking has gotten worse (bad coping skill I know), and so has my ADHD.  My wife has slowly started withholding affection and intimacy from me.  She says she's "guarding" herself.  I have stopped drinking and plan on doing so for a few months at least.  Anyway,  things have gotten pretty bad lately and it's hard to communicate.  If I talk about m

I have been with my partner for around 2.5 years, and we currently live together. When we initially started dating, it was a whirlwind romance... we unofficially moved in together after only a month, we were so in love that we talked about our future constantly, and we officially moved in together about 6 months into our relationship when both of our leases were up. 

Hello,

This will be my second post on here and I'm still not sure how to bring the thought storm in my head to paper.  So I apologize for any confusion. 
 

So I have ADHD, which is basically concert hall of thought and distraction in my head.  It sucks. It's depressing. It's been a life long, and only recently identified, torture of being judged and then disregard with the trash. 
 

I've posted a few times here, particularly following my breakup with my non diagnosed ex. In a relationship for 2.5 years, he wanted me to move in, house a mess, he didn't work, lack of empathy Many of the toxic behaviours came out, however like so many he could be very likeable, charming and he loved sex and loved showing me physical attention, though it was increasingly apparent that if something was distracting him I would literally be forgotten. 

Hi all,

Glad to have found this space. My partner and I have been together 4 years and I'm struggling. They have a diagnosis of ADD and also a history of trauma. They're currently going through a horrible work situation which is bringing up all kinds of problems and triggering them a lot. Hopefully this will resolve in the next month or two.
