can you be add and ocd?
I have been on adderall for add and I seem to be getting more angry then before? I can't seem to just let go and have fun, then I obsess about not having fun which leads to negative thinking, complaining and fights with my husband. Every thing in my world has to be just perfect and if it's not I just complain. My life is just one big complaint and people are sick of being around me. They say just stop but I can't. After reading many books I do feel like I have add, I have been diagnosed with so many things all my life but this seems like the right diagnoses so why is the medication not fixing my negative brain pattern? I think I may lose my husband because I am driving him away. I do love him but I have a hard time feeling love feeling when I am in my negative thoughts and I tell him I don't love him. I don't have much love for myself because all my life I have just seen myself as a stupid loser, I know you have to love yourself before you can love another, but at that rate i will just die alone, but the way i cycle through relationships I may just end up alone anyways. This leads to all sorts of other problems like depression, suicidal thoughts, and just plain fear of myself. I have been on all sorts of anti depressants and they just led me to attempted suicide and getting off them was so awful, I vowed never to go on those again. I am so desperate at this point; I don't know what to do?
The reason I ask about the OCD is all the ADD stuff fits me except the fact that I am very organized, it helps me to think clearer, but I have the worst memory and I lose stuff constantly even though I am organized. I just feel like I am defective. That I have every mental disorder all rolled into one person and I some times think it would just be easier to put myself out off all this misery. When I woke up at the hospital after my suicide I was happy to be alive and it lasted a few months but then it’s right back to the negative.

It is certainly possible to have OCD and ADHD.
I hear a great deal of frustration in your question and hope that you are continuing to receive treatment for your depression even if you choose not to take medication. It sounds as if you should contact your doctor immediately and talk about your suicidal thoughts.
Please call your doctor right away and seek out treatment.
