High functioning anxiety in ADHD spouse?

Forum: Support for the ADHD Partner

Good morning, in trying to figure out why I'm irritated all the time, need to be doing something, and can't sleep in - I think I have high functioning anxiety or productivity anxiety. I know that if I slip on my projects/responsibilities things won't get done properly in our household and can easily snowball into bigger problems.

Do any other ADHD spouses suffer from this? I've always been this way, and I wonder if that's why my two marriages have been with women that have ADHD tendencies (lack of organization/attention to detail). Figuring, I can take on more of those deficiencies than most.

Just a slight revelation on my own issues, in search of some calm and maybe a return of joy in my life.

Any thoughts from the collective?
