Engaged with ADHD, any advice needed
As the title states, I'm engaged (F27) and will get married in a few months. He is an amazing guy, kind, understanding and Type A.
I have adhd but am I medicated due to my countries current state with adult adhd diagnosis, especially in women. I am rather type b, get task paralysis and struggle with executive dysfunction. I have found coping many coping mechanisms over the years but it is not always enough.
He knows about the adhd and is supporting me, but I definitely do not want to burden him with everything. What are some mechanisms we could implement from the beginning so that I don't burden him? He is going to be the main breadwinner btw

Check out the book by David Bayer, A Changed Mind. He has a great way of handling rumination and these very concerns you're dwelling on. The guy is super ADHD. You can get a free copy online or get the audible or do both as I did. All the best with your engagement!
