Hi! My boyfriend of over a year suffers from add and gad and has had quite a tramatic past. He has tried therapy but says they were not doing anything to help him, asking questions that weren't relevant to his problems. When we first started dating, I had no idea or couldn't even tell he had this problem. It started in traffic, him being impatient and extremely frustrated, continued on to him having a panic attack if I were away from him and didn't answer his calls, which would never be on purpose. He would ask my opinion on something, and then argue with me about it. Now I'm dealing with a few times a week we get into a small arguement which gets blown out of proportion and enRAB with him yelling. Then he neeRAB to talk all of his feelings out, but I don't want to do, mostly because he made me angry by yelling. He explains it as his train of thought never stops and he thinks that things will get worse, extreme pessimism, and there is no convincing him otherwise. This is really taking a toll on our relationship, myself adding stress, and is just completely exhausting me. I want to be able to handle this well and make the best of our relationship. :dizzy:
 
Is he on any medication? Perhaps he should be,or it neeRAB to be adjusted.
His symptoms don't really sound GAD though.GAD is much more constant worrying over things.Not getting angry over little things.Then again,maybe that is just how he expresses his worry.
