24m recently diagnosed

hello i just got recently diagnosed with adhd. i’m 24m and just recently started going to therapy and recently got diagnosed with adhd. i am in a loving relationship but constantly feel like i’m letting my partner down and disappointing them. during arguments she says “why can’t you just understand” or something along those lines and i don’t know what to say or do. i find myself lying about anything and everything small and i have no idea why or what to do to change it or catch it and correct it. been told i’m not considerate and i don’t do things that don’t benefit me or plan dates or anything. i am really bad at communication and i almost never know how i feel or how to express which causes a lot of miscommunication and frustration from her end. i really don’t know what to do or what i’m looking for just wasn’t feeling heard or understood. i know that i can be frustrating and i want to change it but not sure how or where to start. the diagnoses explains a lot in our relationship but i don’t want it to be an excuse. not sure where i was going with this also not sure if it’s different or anything but my therapist said i have “adhd with inattention and hyperactivity”
