I’m not going to go into fine details because it is obvious personal and this is a public forum. But basically the issues came down to being inattentive, lack of follow through, communication failures, dropping responsibilities, etc. that are all downstream of my primarily inattentive ADHD diagnosis. Basically failures in everyday life and the relationship due to my own actions (or more typically, lack of action aka bad priorities) where if you had pointed it out to me at the time I totally would have told you I should be Doing The Thing and I absolutely want to Do The Thing but… hey look at that other shiny thing! She got tired of the disappointment and broken promises, and I sought help. After being told by someone I confided in that I might have ADHD, I spoke to a psychiatrist and was prescribed stimulants. Now I have a magic pill I take every morning that makes me 100% able to choose to Do The Thing when I want to Do The Thing. It gave me that choice, which I never had. It makes me a better person because it allows me, for the first time ever in my 40 years on this planet, to make that conscious choice about what kind of person I show myself as in my actions. Previously, I was just along for the ride. Now I’m in the pilot’s seat. I have tried most of the other things you mention. There are great health benefits to eating right, for example, and even mental/mood improvements as well. But no effect whatsoever on this issue. ADHD intention is a brain chemistry problem and requires a chemical solution, plain and simple.
