u/KickAssPeaches

I work at a really place but they have vending machines EVERYWHERE. I'll be sitting at my desk vibing and lizard brain will be like "we should get a snack". I'm like "But I'm not hungry" and lizard brain is like "yeah but food and especially carbs" and it goes on for hours 🫩

I'm terrified I won't be able to kick the binge habit. I do good for a day or two and then it all falls apart. I'm in therapy currently to try and help with the emotional aspect but my brain can just get so twisted. Does anyone have any advice on what to do when the binge urges hit?

Hello all,

For context my husband (26M) has adhd and can be very forgetful and almost air headed at times. He has a hard time processing what I (25F) say most of the time so I generally have to repeat myself. I understand that he cannot help this but it can be extremely frustrating when I have to repeat just about every word I say.

We also have two cats that are very sweet most of the time but can be very needy/just assholes sometimes. I primarily deal with them as my husband just rather extreme contamination ocd dealing with their puke, piss, or poop.

So onto the issue. We were in the kitchen and my husband was looking for a meme on his phone that he's been annoying me with. One of our cats was around my feet and I honestly just wanted some space. So I tried to make the comment to my husband pointing out said cat that "Maybe this is why I'm so burnt out and frustrated all the time". I have previously made comments about how it feels like my personal space is everyone else's personal space. He was too busy with his phone to process what I had said. It was until I left the kitchen several minutes later that he asked what I had said stating that he didn't process it. I know I should have just gotten over it and told him but I was so over repeating myself. So I said no I'm not repeating myself and I'm setting a boundary. He stated that I knew he has the auditory processing issues and that it's just how his brain works. I told him that he could have put his phone down minutes again to ask when I had originally said it. He sarcastically said he was sorry he was busy looking something up and that it didn't mean that he didn't care. I told him that yes it did mean that because his actions said that. We clearly got into a fight and it hasn't been resolved yet.

How do I handle everything? I know he can't help his adhd but I just want to he heard the first for once and to not be asked a million questions in the day trying to keep up with everything. How do I let him know that I need him to really make an effort helping with the cats and taking somethings off of my plate?
