tl;dr: My partner refuses to meet agreed upon cleaning goals and it’s causing significant relationship issues. She’s never blamed her ADHD, but I know it’s a factor....
Hello all, I am a 39M whose wife (42F) was just diagnosed with ADHD. We’ve had a suspicion ever since our 6 year old was diagnosed and we started doing a deep dive into it and realizing a lot of the symptoms fit her. Even some of the memes from this community helped her to start looking into it herself. She is relieved to find...
Found myself starting to think about trying some new thing that sounded cool, and realized it might be fun to think about all of the random interests, crafts, hobbies and pursuits I’ve chased on tangents to my life. It’s easy to feel like a bum or a failure for dropping hobbies and that could cause hesitation in starting...
I know at least some of us suffer with issues with morning (and probably night routines) I just want to share a new toothpaste I love....

Let’s catch up - all topics are welcome!
I am a singlish women who has a long term friends with benefits, but is looking for a more substantial relationship. The thing is my fwb is used to me interrupting sexy times to tell them what ever thought that just popped into my head. Thankfully they are spectrumy too. (Ok this usually only happens during foreplay) but I am...
I was browsing my list of communities and realized I haven’t heard anything from this one for a while. I really treasure hearing from other women with ADHD and knowing I am not alone....
I have terrible skin and have always wanted to follow a basic skincare routine, but thanks to ADHD I am lucky if I remember to even splash water on my face in the morning. Usually I will buy a product, use it a few times, then get bored of it and forget it exists. So I’m curious, what are your skincare routines like? How did...
Hi, I’m in a classic college crunch, even though I’m fucking 32 and getting my master’s. I have a paper due yesterday and no extension, but I’m hoping they don’t check the mailbox until Monday....
I could use some advice or support....
I was so worried about the test showing that I wasn’t ADHD but instead a lazy pos. Turns out I do have ADHD and my mom was right. Owe her an apology and working on the best way to do that (I’m thinking a coffee date)...
Whenever I go to the doctor’s office and they ask about something that happened unrelated to that day’s visit, I can’t seem to remember....
My pysch wants me to get a tova and liver blood work done before prescribing stimulants. I have never done the ToVA it seems like a relatively short test. A cursory search so it’s accuracy is below 90% which worries me. What worries me even more is what if it shows I don’t have ADHD and I am secretly just a terrible lazy...
My partner of one year has not been satisfied with our communication while away from each other. He’d like to know what I’m up to when not at work, and while I would rather have more sporadic catch-ups (say 2/3 times a day) I try to keep to his preferred frequency which usually ends up being once every two hours at minimum,...
Does anyone find that they have an especially difficult period, mentally and emotionally compared to neurotypical women you know? Have you found anything that helps? Have you noticed a difference medicated for ADHD vs not medicated?
Current example: I’m tidying my home for a sleepover guest and my dining table has all of the hand tools from the garage and wherever else I had tucked them away. I’m cleaning them, removing rust, oiling them to prevent future rusting, and organizing them. They weren’t on the table two days ago, but IT HAD TO BE DONE....
Every time a song goes on, I can’t focus on anything else because I feel the lyrics going into my brain and replacing my thoughts with other words. Especially if I’m trying to do homework or coding. So because of this, I only listen to classical music or the instrumental tracks of modern songs I do like. My sister thinks...
When I am cooking, I have trained myself to set a timer for 10 minutes....
I’ll start! I invested in a cordless vacuum, primarily because it came with a pet hair accessory but turns out, I love to use it for a quick dopamine hit! Getting a room or two to look clean-ish without the commitment of finding an outlet and dragging a chunky vaccum across the room is a massive help!
Mine at this minute is Sia’s Unstoppable.
I’ve been going back amd forth on if I should share my diagnosis with my manager and hr. (hr really just to cover my ass not for accommodations)...
