"Any fellow ADHD sufferers here or is it just me. Just thought I'd see if there was and open up a discussion about it and how it affects day to day aswell as swinging life "

I think there are some traits the really support being in the lifestyle but then there’s some that just don’t. For example, my ability to keep up with several conversations with potential meets. It’s not for a lack of interest or commitment, it sometimes gets overwhelming for me along with vanilla life events. However, the lifestyle also suits my impulsivity, issues with object permanence amongst other things xx |

Theres a lot more of us than you think. Most of us still haven't been properly diagnosed. I've been having some horrible problems with it lately and the more stressed I'm getting, the worse it is. |

Yes, fully diognosed here! I try not to let it define me, but I often crave excitement way more then is healthy! 😬 What about you, how does it show up for you as I expect eveyone is a little different!? |

Yep. Diagnosed ADHD Combined last month. Aced the assessment. 100%. Every. Single. Marker.
I think the term is ADHD-AF.
This, of course, explains a huge amount. I felt a strange combination of relief (I'm not losing my mind), validation (I'm not making this up) and grief (so many missed opportunities and failed relationships).
As far as Fab is concerned, it really does explain why I've found it so challenging - particularly over the last few years. Days/weeks can go by where I completely forget to check in, by which time, whoever I was chatting to has lost interest and moved on.
My general lack of focus, combined with the fact that I change cities every week (don't ask - needlessly convoluted work/life setup), means I'm constantly running to catch up with myself and don't have the capacity or energy to plan ahead.
There have been a couple of very nice ladies who have expressed an explicit interest in meeting over the last year or two. In principle, I'm totally on board with that idea. It's been a while. In practice, I'm utterly useless. I suspect my wooly, half-there meandering has killed that idea stone dead.
Jesus F Christ, I can't wait for my medication to finally arrive. I've had roughly thirty years too much of this bullshit! |

Inattentive
I can sabotage potential relationships unwittingly, as I struggle to meet what are probably for most, perfectly reasonable expectations around contact.
It sucks a bit, but I've just come to accept it. |
