I am in a relationship for the past year and a half with a wonderful, loving, smart and caring man who has been diagnosed with ADD since about four years ago. We have one child (from my previous relationship) and three dogs (one from me two from him). We've been living together for the last seven months and have decided to get married. I love him so much but lately, we've been coping with a lot of med changes and hence, changes in his moods -- one minute sunny and helpful and the next withdrawn and frustrated. So, I don't have any particular questions -- just I guess looking for general support, and for someone to tell me that I will somehow find a way to distinguish between his feelings that are caused by his condition and how he feels about me. In other words, will I ever learn not to take things personally, and will I learn to cope without feeling/being responsible for everything in our household? Thanks for any words of wisdom you might have to offer.

Welcome to the forum!!!

Knowing that you don't want to be responsible for the household is half the battle...training is the other half...lol..Not an easy job.

If the mood swings started with a med change you need to discuss it with him when you are both calm and relaxed. People with ADHD do not always recognize their own mood swings. It may be something he needs to talk with the DR about.
