tc123 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I've been dating a wonderful, sweet guy for the past 4 years now (we're high school sweethearts) and usually things are great between us. We talk out our arguments and get along well. However, he has ADHD. While on medication he had mood swings and an entire host of other problems that were confusing to understand or relate to. Now I believe, when managed correctly, ADHD can be a good thing. It's part of his personality that I love. Recently he's decided to go off his medication and I'm very happy with the 'real' him. He doesn't have that long list of side effects. However, it's been extremely hard on him, because he's been on the stimulant medication ever since the 3rd grade and has problems coping. It's hard to see him suffer like this and he has little to no willpower when it comes to average tasks. He's been gaining weight because he can't control himself to eat properly, and work is difficult for him. Sometimes I feel like a mother taking care of a child. I don't mind it for the time being because I know he's coping with a lot and I want to be there for him. I want to believe he's headed in the right direction but right now I'm not sure how to feel. How should I continue supporting him? Please help.
FitChick Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Why not google ADHD diet? Lots of websites with helpful information on diets and lifestyle changes.
