Being deeply scared of being in love because you might love too much and they might just stop loving you

I hate relationships and love, I hate having feelings for someone. It's really stressful and every time my effort isn't reciprocated I automatically think (it's because I'm unlovable and I'm not good enough)

When your ADHD kicks in...
...and suddenly you're finding yourself making an offer on ebay for a complete spinning wheel at 2 am in the morning because...spinning!!! *_* 🧶
--------------------------------------------------------
Update: I got the spinning wheel!!
And now I'm renovating it...cleaning, wood grinding, oiling the drive...I've never done anything like that before but I 'm kind of enjoying it! 🧽🔩🧴
Now I'm afraid that this might be the start of another new hobby! 😳 Someone help!

We moved in with each other fairly early on into our relationship (during Covid)and the first year was so difficult we have VERY different ways of living. She worked in retail and dealt with chaos on the daily and I work in corporate and everything has to be like so. When we both got home we basically did the opposite of what we had to deal with at work.
I would feel so rejected and defeated bc she was so angry at my inability to keep things organized. And I was angry bc I really wanted to do what was asked of me -but my body/ mind literally wouldn’t allow it.
I started feeling like a child. Being told what to do, when to do it.
I thought it was the depression and anxiety that I already been diagnosed with. It was crippling. “babe, I think something is going on with me.” And she believe it as well. I began to do research, and I started to see some of myself in other ppl with ADHD. Not knowing how she would react, I mentioned that I think I have ADHD and sent her a few videos.
We soon began to come up with ideas to help. We bought containers and organizers etc. Everything now had a place. We agreed that at a minimum we keep the living room clean and that my closet was mine to be messy in. We synced our calendars so I wouldn’t forget our dates or bills. We set reminders, alarms. I began to feel excitement again, less depressed,more motivated. She saw it too! “baby, I am so proud of you!” she would say. It would be something so small. Like putting the cap back on the gel or cleaning the bathroom before I left for work. Small. But BIG. Our relationship got so much better. In fact our level of communication improved significantly. It never felt forced or onesided.
She will always say, “Yes this is frustrating,but we are a team.” when I would be embarrassed about not remembering something important. Making mistakes didn’t feel like the end of the world and I slowly began to realize I was making less of them.
I finally was diagnosed a few days before my 34th birthday. I grieved, ALOT. I grieved the childhood I spent undiagnosed, I grieved the education I could’ve had, friends that left, relationship’s that crumbled. Everything that I ever experienced started to make sense. I’m seeing a new version of myself and a new way of life. I am lovable, I am caring and I am smart.
All the things she has always said but I always chalked it up to her being my girlfriend and she’s supposed to say those things. But now I agree. Being diagnosed helped me take the mask off and get comfortable with the person I tried to hide from the world.
We didn’t allow this thing to beat us. In fact it made us stronger. Wiser and more graceful towards one another. Love is for everybody! Partnership and teamwork is for everybody! It’s work and it takes time. But when it works it’s magical. It’s no longer hard- the ebb and flow of understanding lives in our hearts.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?

Aren't you afraid of how destabilizing it is to a person with ADHD to know that someone has your heart in their hands and can do whatever they please with it?
》 They can love it
》 They can destroy it
》 They can deceive it
》 They can confuse you so much that it causes you inexplicable pain.
Normally when people with ADHD fall in love, our joy and excitement may be more intense. We may feel a deep sense of intimacy and acceptance, perhaps for the first time. We may also increase our self-confidence, something many people with ADHD lack. The combination of feelings can be overwhelming for those of us with ADHD.

I recommend to everyone, even people without ADHD, that you watch this couple. They are so wonderful and they've been helping me understand ADHD more. I found out that I have it and wow, a lot of things in my life make so much more sense now. I thought I was wired wrong, but watching them has made me feel a lot better about these things. These people really make you feel better and feel accepting of yourself and help others understand it.
