Loved one with ADD

Does anyone else live with a loved one with ADD? I find it hard not to get irritated or frustrated with him sometimes and I immediately feel guilty after I snap at him (if I do).

Hello Summer Daze: It's been a few days since you posted this. I'm sorry you have received no replies. The Skeezyks is not in this situation. But I do know something about getting irritated or frustrated & feeling guilty after I snap at my spouse (when I do... which is too often I fear...) I struggle with a lot of generalized anxiety plus I have a quick temper. It doesn't take much to set me off. I'm aware of it... & I try not to do it... but it seems like inevitably I do.

The other problem that my spouse & I have (especially me...) is that I'm not very communicative when it comes to talking about what set me off or how I felt about being "snappy". I suspect this would go a long way toward healing the wounds. I hope you & your loved one are better at this than I am...

I *am* the one with ADD in my household, and yes, sometimes my husband gets a little irritated with me. He says it helps him to laugh at my behavior most of the time, but I know I can be exasperating to someone else.

Once I met up with a son of a friend who also had ADD, and the two of us talking at high speed amazed everyone else in the room. They were stunned at how the behaviors accelerated with two of us standing there.
