Hi there,

I uploaded a video on my mental health/ADHD youtube channel where I go over & discuss common scenarios and difficulties that arise in relationships when past relationship infidelity/trauma have not been dealt with by an individual, & how that can be brought into a new/current relationships. I also discuss and provide resources as to how to improve/ease your anxiety, manage ADHD, how to set boundaries with your partner, and how to better communicate/understand when you need reassurance. Hope this helps, & Best Regards!!

Is there any specific relation between this and ADHD?

Absolutely, especially in regards to Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD). Because of people with ADHD having a heightened central nervous system (CNS), a lot of people with ADHD perceive/feel their emotions quite strongly, miscommunication turning into large misunderstandings tend to occur, etc. A partner in the relationship who has been cheated on before & has ADHD, might be unconsciously on high alert mentally frequently (hyperfocusing-adhd trait) and misinterpreting things, doing everything they can (consciously or unconsciously) to avoid feeling the immense RSD and all the negative feelings/memories it holds from the past. The more infidelity the partner has faced, the more intense it becomes. While not all those with ADHD have issues with this, in the ADHD community some individuals are hypersexual (high libido), while others might be hyposexuals (low libdo), this can immensely complicate things further. This along with many other things brings forth anxiety, tension, fighting, lack of trust, and maladaptive behaviors that both partners might not be aware about. Most of that is discussed in the video, along with some helpful resources. Hope that helps!
