Struggle Bus with Partner
My partner and I have been together for 10+ years. Now living together for almost 5. I have anxiety and he has ADHD.
I take Prozac for my anxiety and it has helped WONDERS for my relationship anxiety. It's been almost 6 years now and it's been amazing.
As I still have anxiety, it manifests in me cleaning & being very productive. Like I constantly have a to-do list in my brain. And not just for me, for my partner too - and that is what is stressing him out.
From being a morning person and doing things from the break of dawn to not being able to sleep because I didn't do one or two things, it pretty much takes over my days, unless I'm doing my hobbies or being social. (since in my brain I'm still doing something)
My question is, how do I help him feel less stressed? Does anyone have an ADHD partner? How do you get items done, without it being last minute or them getting annoyed?
