At wits end
Any advice welcome. My partner has adhd and is soo messy. Ive tried everything i can think of and ive compromised. Ive tried every form of communication, post it notes ect. Im 99% bedbound with an illness but I have a carer come in a few times a week but shes not meant to be there to clean up his mess. He genuinely so lovely and we click in so many ways but I honestly dont know what else to do. He has his own room that I just close the door on as you cant even see the floor but when the rest of the house( my sanctuary beacuse i cant leave) is effected its really affecting me. He was diagnosed about a year ago and has been on meds since.
EDIT: Just to clarify — I’m 36 and have had severe ME/CFS and POTS for 4 years. When I say 99% bedbound, I mean I can sleep up to 20 hours a day, spend most of my time isolated in a dark room, only get up to use the toilet/occasionally shower, and most days I can only talk for a few minutes at a time. At my worst I can’t talk or feed myself.
I already have a carer 3x a week who cleans, does washing and cooks because I physically can’t. The problem is that within 24 hours the shared spaces can be a bomb site again.
I absolutely understand ADHD is a disability and I’m not expecting him to be perfectly tidy. His room can be as messy as he likes. I’m just trying to find a way to accommodate his ADHD without the consequences falling on me or my carer.
