When she was communicating a problem I would subconsciously create my own reality based on the little and often extreme things that filter through into my brain.

Post-breakup, my problems remained unsolved and were joined by a hole that sat where she was meant to be.I’ve learned that ADHD can be like a goose learning to fly in a fighter jet. You can’t fly like the other geese because the flapping you’re doing is in the cockpit going Mach 5.
