DH just really upset me

I've had MH issues my whole life (childhood trauma) and have recently been diagnosed ADHD & autism.

I took the outside Xmas decorations down but the round the door decorations DH told me to leave as he didnt know what he was doing with them. They are 2m tall doorway wreath things.

So its been over a week now since he said that and they annoy me everytime I see them.

Im due my period, i feel like shite. I just made midweek roast dinner and was doing the kitchen whilst he lay on the couch and I just felt so mad and went to the front door and just pulled them down.

DH came out and was shocked and confused and got mad at me for doing it. I know it was stupid and immature.

He said 'why did you go from doing the kitchen to thinking about that? Just pulling them down?"

I said maybe because i have ADHD?

And he said 'oh here we go, so now everythings about you having that? Sometimes its simply because youre a fucking idiot"

I feel so upset. Our kids are ADHD/autistic. And he would never say that about them.

Its like he think MY diagnosis are just pretend/excuses.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.
We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
