Yeah, I really like this one. And I don't know that I thought it was a problem. I guess that's the other thing is like, I don't think I ever thought anything was wrong until it was like, oh, my God, that's how I act in relationships. Like, That's who I am or that's how I react to a breakup. I want to know if there's ways to be better at this. Career-wise, I was happy with how things were going.

Climbing the Walls
Danielle’s story: A breakup, an intense reaction, and ADHD diagnosis (from “ADHD Aha!”)

There were definitely a lot of moments where I wished I was capable of working for one company and wanting to stay there, but I would hit. There was one time I had a full-time job for two years and I hit the one-year mark and was like, really? It was like some sort of itch. And then at the second year, I quit because I was like, I just can't do this.

And I think I've been really lucky that things have lined up every time I do something like that. But things could have gone much worse.

Danielle’s story: A breakup, an intense reaction, and ADHD diagnosis (from “ADHD Aha!”)

No, I haven't. I've dated a few people since then, but I'm now, I think, so much... Well, I think I had always had questions about how happy I would be in a relationship to begin with. I think I was 34 or 35 when that relationship started.

Climbing the Walls
Danielle’s story: A breakup, an intense reaction, and ADHD diagnosis (from “ADHD Aha!”)

And I was becoming extremely aware that, like, people thought it was weird that I... Like, even... It was almost like you didn't get as much of a chance with people because they're like, you've never been in a relationship. I don't want to teach you how to be in a... You know, like, there's like a... So I think I was feeling rejection in that sense.

Danielle’s story: A breakup, an intense reaction, and ADHD diagnosis (from “ADHD Aha!”)

And there is a part of me sometimes that thinks the relationship lasted as long as it did because I was like, no, I'm going to have this almost like I don't know. I just it was like, no, no, no. I'm going to know what it's like to stick it out. I'm going to win at this. Yeah, exactly. And I'm going to at least know what it's like to have been in one for two years and like see what that's like.

Climbing the Walls
Danielle’s story: A breakup, an intense reaction, and ADHD diagnosis (from “ADHD Aha!”)

Yeah, and I think I was kind of internalizing what everyone around me was saying. Like, I think everyone was always like, are you ever going to settle down? Are you ever going to pick one? Are you ever going to do this? And there was a part of me that was like, I don't even know if it's all me not picking. There's also, like, I haven't met someone that makes sense to me. That's not a requirement.
