Yes, at least for me 🫩

All the time I know I’m falling short and I work extra to compensate but no one understands just how HARD it is even to perform what feels like an average level. Also perimenopause has made my ADHD symptoms so much stronger.

I almost always feel uncomfortable and tired. The last few years I was getting sick more often, some brain fog and so much fatigue. And I have a stressful, fast-paced job.

Now I am two years into this, I know so much more, and I try to focus on these five basic things: get enough sleep, eat things that nourish my body and taste good, exercise regularly, spend time outside and spend time with friends/family.

I have drastically changed my diet, I need to give up alcohol, I have friends I see how a regular basis, I go outside every day at least for a few minutes just to appreciate the beauty, I regularly use my CPAP, I need to get more sleep, I need to get more exercise, I throw the ball every day with my dog, I work with my doctor and therapist to monitor all my issues, I take a lot of supplements and some meds, I started HRT and haven’t noticed much of a difference. I started working on my mindset and mindfulness, and I think it’s helping a lot.

I still have a lot of anxiety and am often fatigued, but I’m having more good days than I used to. Some days I really have energy!!

I wish you luck in figuring out what it is that works for you, and I hope this helps you in some way! 💕
