ADHD Journal: Adult ADHD Life
11 yrs going strong :)
Filed Under: Adult ADD
Its been a while since I have written .. Alot has happended since my last entry 
Just a week ago my husband & I celabrated our 11 yr anniversary , the fact that we have made it together 11 yrs , when most marriages in this day in time don’t make it to the 5 yr mark . My husband & I have been through alot together , my husband god bless him , has over come soo much in his life . The fact that we have made it as long as we have is a blessing My husband & I have ridden some rough waves in the last 5 yrs , in the last 6 months my husband & I have gone to 5 funerals , that in its self has really made us more apprecative for eachother . Now don’t get me wrong we have our good days & our bad days , I will be honest being ADD woman myself , in a long term relationship with a partner whom is not only ADHD , but OCD as well as Bipolar can be quite demanding & stressful at times . However! dispite the frustration & the stressfulness of my husband’s ADHD, OCD & Bipolar , he has come such a long way from where he was when I first met him . To say the least I am very blessed to have this man in my life , there’s never a dull moment with him , no matter how frustrated I get with his ADHD or his OCD , I would not trade this man for the world . He is handsome , tall, beautiful eyes & has a wonderful out going sweet personality & the biggest heart I have ever seen . My husband would give the shirt off his back , he will help anyone whom is down & out ... Now given the fact that we have been together for as long as we have, the last 3 1/2 yrs we have been actively trying to have a child of our own , however! we have yet to succeed , I am thinking that perhaps its time for us to go see a specialist & see what is holding up the child that we soo much desire to have together . To say the least this is a path I am very unfamilular with , soo Im a little nervious about what lies ahead for us ...

Congratulations to you both on your love and life together! =) Overcoming our own issues as well as living with someone who also has similar and sometimes more complicated issues can be tough.
I wish you the best in your baby adventures =) The only caution I advise is that you consider (I’m sure you probably have already) how highly genetic/passable the ADHD, OCD and bipolar issues can be.
I went into my relationship with my husband planning on not having children because I didn’t want to potentially pass on my ADHD, bipolar, depression and anxiety issues. Well we chose differently and now we have 2 children and they both have one form or another of them. My 7yr old son is being treated for ADHD and my 10yr old daughter has some level of my anxiety and ADHD. They are both amazing people and I feel so blessed to have them but I blame myself for their circumstances and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
You have a double whammy with both you and your husband being affected.
I wish you the best!
