I haven’t been diagnosed as adhd as yet but to be honest the writing is on the wall.
What’s killing me most is my super thin skin, inability to tolerate my wife’s directness. She can talk to me very abruptly and it kills me, sends me into a downward spiral of depression and sadness.
Mostly it’s over how to bring up our daughter. She is petty and critiques every choice make regarding her ..... for example how much milk I put on her cereal or the size of the fruit I cut up to give her. I have told her to back off as it’s driving me insane.
What she doesn’t know is how this has affected me for 3 years now. I have had suicidal thoughts I’ve been so low, thinking I could just walk out into traffic and the sadness would go away.
I hate how she has made me become this person. I wish my skin was thicker.
I question is she right for me constantly and wonder is it my possible ultra sensitive self that cannot cope with her personality.
Any thoughts welcome

That may not be related to ADHD. It sounds more like depression, and I suggest asking your GP or approaching your local IAPT (NHS talking therapies) service, particularly if you have suicidal thoughts. You feel what you feel, but Cognitive Behaviour Therapy shows your feelings are from thoughts that may be only a partial interpretation of what's happening - when you're down, you tend to interpret things in a more negative way.
It sounds like your wife is anxious about your daughter and expressing it in indirect ways. Maybe couple counselling (or just a mutual friend) could help you communicate better?
