My bf’s hyperfocus makes him forget me.
ADHD Support / by willingtravler

...See more My bf hyperfocuses so much that he forgets to spend intimate time with me, that he promised me earlier and that my love tank desperately needs.  His hyperfocus is often not even just on one task, it’s jumping from uncompleted task to another. He lacks the ability to prioritize any of his tasks. Which means I fall last on the list often. That’s unless I keep reminding him gently, feeling like I’m always nagging him, to come back to me. Even though he left 10 mins into our cuddle session, 3 hours ago, “to pee real quick”  This is all in addition to an easy 4-6 hours of him not calling to give an update and not answering his phone, when he left the house to run a “quick 1 errand task.” And he got squirreled away.  I’m at my wits end, and I don’t want to be. I love him so much. But I don’t know how I can keep doing this with my mental health depleting more and more meanwhile my love tank running in empty all to often.  I desperately need to be able to trust him with any sort of responsibility in our business and in our home. But I can’t. * What do people in your life, do that help support you with hyperfixations? * -What are some ways I can support him better with these challenges? * What do you do to put a cap on your squirreling? * What are some ADHD Life Hacks that could help him?
