[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update.

After posting this, I got overwhelmed by the whole situation and ended up having a panic attack.

He asked what was wrong and I told him. He flipped out, threw his phone across the room, yelled “then just leave me it’s what everyone does”, and locked himself in the guest bedroom.

I went through his phone and he’s on hundreds of web pages a day. He’s also spending a lot of time looking through random women’s facebook photos. Not thirst traps, but random, seemingly normal/real women.

I’m freaking out a bit, he’s never thrown things or yelled before and it was seemingly out of nowhere.

This seems to be way beyond ADHD and getting into some sort of severe mental illness. I’m at a complete loss at what to do. [/quote]

Tons of people with ADHD have comorbid depression. It comes from being ineffectual and failing to achieve goals and it gets worse as others leave you further and further behind. There are ways to "manage" severe ADHD but not everyone can pull this off. He does need to set time limits on phone use and be in treatment for alcohol dependence if that is/was a factor.[/quote]
