“So many people are out there saying that people with ADHD are more likely to go into abusive and narcissistic relationships,” said Claire.
“In those relationships, you are living for the high. It’s very up down, up down, and that stimulates the bejeebus out of our brains,” she explained.
People with ADHD require a lot of stimulation in order to stay engaged. Some unhealthy ways they might stimulate their brains and boost dopamine levels are by creating drama and starting intense fights followed by a period of making up.
If you have ADHD and want to break the pattern, just remember that when the feeling of boredom arises in your perfectly healthy relationship, that doesn’t mean your relationship is going downhill.
It will take some time, but the key is to learn to find comfort in peace and familiarity, not chaos. To entertain your brain, discover a healthy passion to pursue that excites you instead of chasing after drama and other toxic indulgences.
