Yeah, I can definitely see that. For me, the stress differential is between an unquantified problem vs a quantified problem. But with GAD, I can definitely see how the process of quantifying the problem could become its own problem! Really glad for you that you've found balance with your wife!
- TeMPOraL 3y agoFun fact: GAD and ADHD aren't opposites, but quite related. Meaning, you can end up suffering the symptoms of both. FWIW, despite being more like GP's wife than GP themselves, "the process of quantifying the problem could become its own problem" is very much the case for me. It leads to some unique, hilarious (to an outside observer) ways of suffering.
- IggleSniggle 3y agoIt's super common to have both. It develops naturally from understanding how ADD affects you and stressing about what you might be forgetting or overlooking or whatever now. They can feed on each other. It's easy to imagine how ADD symptoms could develop from GAD. I was born with ADD, but developed GAD in my 30s in response to living with ADD.
