Break Ups and ADHD

[How288]

Hey everyone, just prefacing this with the fact I have ADHD and Autism. I’ve been in my relationship for 4 years and I love him so much, however for many reasons including my own mental health I need to break up with him.

Now if I know myself right this will really deeply affect me, I’ve head neurodivergent people particularly ADHD sufferers can take break ups a lot worse than others, and that most certainly true of me.

I was wondering if anyone similar to me had any tips or tricks for getting through it? I have a very hard time losing and letting go of people I love, but this relationship isn’t really bringing me anything anymore so I don’t understand why I’m feeling so worried about it.

Try reading additude mag. Loads of great articles on there including relationship ones and adhd. It's because of our emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitive dysphoria which makes things feels so much more painful.

Maybe watch some youtube videos on it too might help.

On a personal note, take each day as it comes. Remember to soothe yourself with things you like and comfort food and films. It will be okay 💐
