What to do when he says "I don't know what to do!" (x-post from /r/ADHD)
Post Body

The story is my guy gets stuck.

He's been diagnosed ADHD, on meds. My anecdotal opinion is that his co-morbidity is severe social anxiety (like terribly bad).

Sometimes when we have plans he simply freezes in place. Mostly when he wants to come over to my place, he just can't. He says he wants to, but then simply can't.

I tried a variety of things. Supportive, understanding, pouting (come on - you would too!)

What is the best response? Because I don't want to hurt him, or make what he is going through worse.

FYI: This is all communicated by text - if I try to call, he wont answer.

(yes, he does too like me...it's not that)

Thanks! (answers from /r/ADHD)
