It's great to be able to read posts from fellow ADD-ers who deal with the same things I do--
My latest transition trouble: I work at home most days, writing a PhD dissertation. So I get into having the place to myself: clothes and books scattered all over, half-eaten bags of pretzels and cups of water lying around, taking naps and talking on the phone when my hyper-focus switches into no-focus, etc. Then at 4:30 my live-in guy comes home from work. A great guy whom I love very much...very non-ADD; we're still both learning about each other's patterns. And when he comes in I'm glad to see him but my own ADD world is gone for the day, and those first few minutes I feel myself getting inexplicably bitchy at him for absolutely no reason. Then I adjust to Couple World instead of ADD World and all is OK. But I don't want to snap at the poor guy when he walks in the door because I'm having a Transition Moment!
ADDers with non-ADD partners...ideas?
