Living with OCD, Bi-Polar Disorder, and ADHD

I said this to someone this morning : i’ve got three of the worst combinations. OCD, Bi-Polar Disorder, and ADHD. Sometimes I get so angry at the smallest things, other times I’m so loud, and hyper that everyone around me tells me i’m too loud, or i talk to much, or to “be quiet” just because they don’t want to hear it anymore. i got lucky. My boyfriend understands completely. I had a long sit down, he goes with me to therapy and psychiatrist appointments. This way when i talk to my doctors, he can hear it all so he understands how hard i struggle with my conditions every day. Our disorders can literally take control over us. It’s not our fault. There’s the saying “it’s the disease talking.” because it literally is talking for us. it’s not you, or me. it’s our conditions doing it.

I can relate. I’d be rich if I had a nickel for every time I was told to calm down or focus. But I have the most amazing, supportive boyfriend of almost 2 years who loves me because of my bubbly personality, and has grown to learn when I’m in a mood, and that makes all the difference.

Meerkat - I know how that feels! my boyfriend has been with me through some of my WORST days, and always makes it his mission to understand exactly what’s going through my head before he responds to how i’m acting that initially upset him in the first place. Most of the time i don’t even realize i’m doing it.
