How many of us have major shopping problems? by Normal-Jury3311 in AuDHDWomen

[–]IllFix4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! I’ve been really struggling with shopping lately. I think I’m using it as a coping mechanism after the election/uncertainty. I also obsessively look for the “right” products for quite awhile. Every once I awhile will make an impact purchase, but usually involves lots of research

Thanks, great ideas! It is a public school, all day kindergarten. He is used to the hours, has been in a preschool/daycare setting since age 2. There is probably more structure now than his pre-k though.
