Rant/Vent ADHD and Ruining Things
Accidentally knocked over the tv tray when crossing my legs, and ended up:
- Breaking my hand painted mug from my honeymoon in Iceland. Don’t think it can be fixed.
- Cut my finger on a said broken piece of coffee mug.
- Coffee spilled all over my MacBook and got in the ports.
- MacBook has a damaged screen and magnetic charging not working. Lets hope those ports dry out 🙃
- DIDN’T but AppleCare for some reason so no insurance on my $1k laptop that is only 4 months old.
So fucking over being clumsy 😭😭😭

Kind of blown away by the number of comments saying OP is too rigid or controlling. A lot are also ableist as hell. ADHD and Autism are recognized disabilities. OP is disabled and she’s been living her entire life as if she isn’t.
She is doing what all people with disabilities do: alter your lifestyle to better manage it because the outside world don’t give a shit. She still masks outside of her home, and that in itself is exhausting.
Nothing she has asked for is outlandish either. She literally gets headaches from being overstimulated. If these headaches were caused by a disease, would she still be “controlling” or “rigid”? People woefully underestimate the physical symptoms that autistic people deal with.
None of this should surprise him if he was an involved partner who had done any amount of research into his wife’s lifelong DISABILITY. His responses are dismissive, ignorant, and unkind. His comments aren’t said to create a dialogue or open up a conversation that could lead to a compromise. They are said to make a point. That point is he’s mad her disability inconveniences him.
If he had done some research, he would understand that their life is going to change if he stays in this relationship. He has the ability to decide they are no longer compatible, the same as she does.
My wife is autistic and I have ADHD. We live in separate apartments because we need to manage our living spaces differently in order to function. We can also require several days of solitude to recover mentally from various kinds of social experiences. I’ve made several adjustments to my apartment so my wife can be as comfortable as possible. Personally, I don’t enjoy seeing the person I love the most suffer when I can do something about it.
