First year of new baby hell as recently diagnosed ADHD PI father and close to divorce

Sooooo....I need some advice, I recently got diagnosed with ADHD (it explains so much of my life). Our baby is now 14 months old and still not sleeping properly. My wife and I are close to divorce due to a combination of what I guess are my inattentive symptoms, and RSD flair-ups - there's a lot of criticism that is going on. I have not been the partner I wanted to be in this first year, I've really struggled with the lack of sleep, and the overwhelm of taking on more of the household duties, while running a new business, looking after a new baby, and trying to appease my wife who is strung out at this point (having had no sleep and is in constant pain). I can see why she lashes out at me, but I am on the verge of finishing the relationship as I can't be called stupid, useless, careless, and idiot, and my baby finds me boring and doesn't like me - to name a few. Is this a common struggle? My wife says I just have to take it, as she is the one getting zero sleep, with no freedom and in pain from a baby that wants to feed all the time.

Since getting the diagnosis I have reallly struggled to trust my intuition and decision making. I really don't know where to go from here, and I would love to hear other peoples experiences.
