There was a post a few years back I just read and I am hoping the conversation can start again. I have ADHD (diagnosed at 36 - now 38) - last night I had another out of body experience raging at my beloved for a silly nont important reason - because his approach is to not enagge with me - I get hurtful and provoke the fight. I feel sick afterwards and then self-depricate until I am depressed for the next day. It is a terrible cycle that repeats and repeats - I know I am a good person and that I want to make things work - yet I cannot bear to think he is throwning his life awy with someone like me.
Your not alone!

This post of yours is half the battle:)...Most of your problems are no different from someone without ADHD. You say he want engage, and you raged...Let's look at this...Rage is an emotional response to not having our way...Not being able to control a situation or person.
In my life I've raged and have to constantly guard against a spirit that will produce Rage...I'm a type A, who is a highly emotional being, which makes it easy to jump into conflict... When I attribute the Blessings of God (work ethic, successful career, beautiful family etc..) in my life to me being good then it is easy for me to rage...
When I measure and judge others by my unrealistic expectations, instead of loving and accepting them for who they are, I can rage.
I don't know what the answer is for you...But, for me it was and is to puke up who I am, my tendencies...The propensity toward conflict, because of the rules and expectations I place on others...Things that make me fall on face and Beg God to save me from myself...
Blessings BaT....
good point!

this is such a simple but very good point. I don't think those who rage realize this. You are very self-aware.
