Partners

My partner gets upset when he perceives I’m ignoring him, but in reality I have adhd as well and sometimes get lost in thoughts or get sucked into scrolling. I live inside my head most days and I’m very easily distracted. I am very spacey and dissociate a lot, I understand how annoying it could be for him.

like yesterday morning g I had just woke up and was scrolling while laying down in bed, he came and stood next to the bed and I grabbed his arm still watching my video, he asked if I wanted food, I didn’t answer right away and continued looking at my phone. I said “one sec” and he just said “ok” in a short irritated way, walking out of the room.

I immediately thought he was mad at me and got up to ask him.if he was mad. He then told me if it were the other way around you would have expected me to drop what I’m doing for your attention, I tried explaining my side and he told me they were excuses and “he didn’t want to make it a big deal” well then I obsessed about it and apologized profusely.

I stayed in bed all day, forgoing my work Xmas party because I threw myself into a depressive exhaustion.

can anyone relate?

Some days it can be overwhelming, not just for the one with chronic illness, but for those supporting them. Some days we all need help and advice for how to keep going, not just individually, but as couples. What have you done or walked through that can help otghers #Marriage #ChronicIllness #Support #Love #Partners #couples #families #Family

We both have a series of chronic illnesses each. He is mourning over his, but seems stuck in anger and 'nothing can ever make this better'. I tend to lecture him about how our mindset is part of the problem, not the problem itself, but contributing to it, and that we can change our mindset for a better life. Go positive thinking! Yea, but it is not what he needs in his depression. How can I support him better? I wish there was something I could do for him. He does have a good counsellor, thankfully. Any thoughts? #ChronicPain #overstimulated #Fatigue #Partners

I just feel the need to remind those who have those do all partners how very fortunate they are!
Please never take them for granted!
I applaud you all, partners in the true sense of the word!!!
Now, can I get one?? 😁❤️

Hello :) just out of curiosity for those in relationships are you comfortable with sharing your mental health struggles with them? Do you hide it? Or are they sweet and have done something to help you de-escalate from a severe panic/anxiety attack before, an ex or someone you are currently with that made you appreciate their help.🙂💕😇. I get really anxious in relationships 😐and so I prefer to stay single. But I find it so touching and sweet when you find someone to be 100% comfortable with and they help you cope sometimes. Married couples or people dating what has been your experience? #Anxiety #AnxietyAttacks #Dating #DatingWithAChronicIllness #help #couples #Love #Partners #husband #wife #Girlfriend #Boyfriend #LGBTQ
