  • I’m not a woman either, but I’m a man struggling with ADHD, I have similar experiences with dirty dishes (and other things). It’s so difficult to remember to do things you have agreed to do and even if you do remember it can be impossible to get started, unless you have figured out a system that works for you.

    If someone at work asks me to look something up or do something and they say that I can do it whenever I have time, it’s never going to get done, I need some sort of deadline to be able to start (usually as close as possible to the deadline).

    I’m not saying your husband has ADHD, I’m just saying he might need more “structure” or a time when the task is supposed to be completed. Not everything is done out of malice or lack of respect.

    Just my two cents since I don’t know that much about either of you.

    Edit: Since ADHD is a spectrum disorder, it’s not a “one glove fits all” kind of situation, everyone have different experiences with different areas. We suffer from time blindness as well, making it hard/impossible to set goals for the future and to achieve those goals.


  • I haven’t had any super long hyperfocus sessions, but I do feel somewhat disoriented when I come back. I feel like it has been better since I started my medication, or I haven’t done anything that hyperfocus activated for lately xD

    My biggest issue is starting with things on my to do-list, especially if they have been there a long time.

    Earlier this year I started listening to Hacking your ADHD and tried a few tips/tools he brought up and it’s easier when I keep following them, I usually listen in the car in the morning and when I hear things that I think would help me I’m out of luck because it’s usually gone by the time I get out of the car, sometimes I remember to write a small reminder to check it out later.

    Sorry if there are any mistakes, English isn’t my first language.
