MODERATORS
I had the same mindset as your wife for 15 years. I just started on ADHD meds yesterday. My entire life is transformed. My anxiety about doing tasks doesn't exist anymore. I have more energy to get things done. My emotional noise is zero. I was an idiot for 15 years.
Don't let her rob you of daily life unburdened. If she can't understand that ADHD means your brain is physically structured differently, then she's not very respectful of your or your well-being.
