Today, while I was making dinner, my husband argued that our new dog has intelligence issues, and we should give him away. I angrily defended the poor thing, and had almost won, until the dog walked over and licked the inside of the hot oven door. FML

Not the sharpest tool

Today, it became apparent that my new boyfriend has the mental process where unless you give him specific instructions, he can’t do anything right. Such as when asking him to let the dog out, it won’t occur to him to let the dog back in until I get home. By then the dog had destroyed the garden out of boredom. FML

Today, I sat my husband down for a talk for him to stop going to his female coworker’s house until 1-2am. He insists they’re doing work projects. He became so offended that I thought otherwise that he thrashed the entire living room, stomped out of the house, and slammed the door, completely dislodging it. FML

Today, my ADHD has gotten so bad that I called my son by my brother’s name, bumped heads with my 2 year-old, and just now went to sit back down on the couch next to husband and accidentally elbowed him in the eye so badly that he went to sleep because he was so angry with me. Praying he doesn’t have a black eye tomorrow.. FML

Priorities

Today, my overthinking and ADHD combo got so ridiculous that I found myself worrying about how my cat was going to be after he returned from the vet. Not if he was going to be okay or not, how he was going to behave. FML

Argument ender

Today, I was arguing with my girlfriend when my dog brought me a squeaky toy and tried shoving it into my hand so I could throw it for him. Out of habit, I grabbed it, but then it squeaked every time I tried to make a serious point. FML

ADHD is actually a lot more than getting distracted easily. There was a great video on YouTube explaining how it actually effects social situations

ADD and ADHD are the same thing. The current terminology is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, but it's more of an umbrella term... there are different subtypes. These are: ADHD with predominantly inattentive presentation, ADHD with predominantly hyperactive/impulsive presentation, and ADHD with combined presentation. So (at least in North America) the proper term is ADHD, even if someone doesn't demonstrate excessive hyperactivity or impulsivity. I'm a pediatric neuropsychologist, so I see misunderstanding of ADHD everyday... I wish they changed the name of the disorder to something more reflective of what parents and family members actually experience.

Yes, like Executive Dysfunction Disorder, or something like that. Because that's the actual root of the problem, and it doesn't make you think of overly energetic kids or distracted dogs. I have ADHD myself, and I could do without all the ignorant stereotypes and prejudices people have.
