      @Fullyonthemove I have had ADHD all my life but I was diagnosed in 2006 I was taking Adderall for a very long time from 2006-2015 then I stopped taking it I felt so good like I didn't need it but then on 2016 i graduated high school and went into the adult world everything thing was great I married my highschool sweetheart in 2017 but I feel like I had had undiagnosed anxiety and depression but I let that all slide and figured I was just over reacting. My relationship with my husband is most of the part sooooo great! Until a few years after marriage I started noticing I would get frustrated more, confused more, I would get sooo angry for days, turns out my ADHD along with my Generalized Anxiety and Major depressive disorder created this cocktail of emotions that just went unchecked and not handled for years. I've only started this journey of helping my mental health 3 weeks ago I started taking bupropion for 2 weeks now and talking to a therapist on learning new skills and my relationship is amazing I mean it was amazing before 3 weeks ago but the frustration and anger and stuff isn't there anymore I feel great our relationship is great! You may want to go the medication route that's what works best for me. Or you can try therapy or a combination of both its completely up to you ❤️
