So my new primary boyfriend is having a fairly hard time with what seem to me like ADD symptoms.

He mis placed a charger to a vapor pen he owns, and he has been noticing that he is misplacing things and do things that are not really a big deal in the big sceam of things.

but in the heat of the moment it really bugs him a lot. I tried to confide in him this kind of reaction is a very common thing for people that have ADD or ADHD.

Even the feeling of that no one else feels this way, the over whelming guilt that comes about, from this is a common thing, or that he typically does not do things like this...and it seem to happen even more.

The one thing I will say that is good about it is the way he wants to deal with the issue he does want to go to see a pytraist or posibly even a therapist to better deal with this habit.

what concerned me was he just started all the sudden very heavily OCDing about the matter at hand, to try to fix the issue but instead it just made it even more trouble some for him.

He seems to be calming down from the situation, it just makes me feel really badly and concerned for him cause I do care about him and love a LOT and this is a side to him I have not really seen before.

But I think that statement is true for him as well. He is not used to having these kinds of issues and he sees them but he does not know why they are happening and he feels a loss of control over the situation. I basically took a little bit of a step back and let him deal with the situation the way he wanted to...and let him calm himself down from the situation, in his own time.

And decided to keep my judgements and opinions on the matter quiet, because I did not want to further upset him.....and possibly re direct it at me.

I wish he really did get just how much I can relate to feeling like you are going insane, how when you try to be proactive about not losing certain items how sometimes it just does not seem to feel like it matters in the long run at all.

I think he does understand my sympathy I think he is just caught up in concern for his mental health and frustrated by it right now.

and i get that feeling to its what drove me to the point of going to a therapist.

as bad as this may be he is dealing with maturely and wanting to find a way to better deal with the situation in a better way which is more then what I have seen a lot of other people do.

most people just want to flat out ignore or deny their issues which truly pisses me off.

lol god knows the human brain is a frustrating frustrating piece of machinery to deal with in ones life.
