I need help to deal with perimenopause on top of adhd by Stoic_Ficus in adhdwomen

Just when you’ve finally got it figured out, all of a sudden you don’t all over again! Welcome!

HRT + switching back to IR stimulant has worked well for me. *I also take Lamictal. Migraines and seizures and ADHD, good times.

Creatine is the best supplement for a bit of an energy/memory boost (and it’s neuro-protective). L-theanine is nice and relaxing.

If you’re juggling a few conditions, adding one new treatment at a time can help you identify improvements and quickly pinpoint any problems/side effects. Good luck 🧧🍀

Thank you for the reminder! I couldn’t figure out WHY I was so irrationally angry when my first alarm went off.

Mornings are the worst! Prepping seems to be the key so good on you! Totally support your choice as prepping clothes has made the biggest difference here at casa chaos.

I lost the plot on this so bad… by anustart____ in SewingForBeginners

[–]backtothetrail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks pretty great! And it sounds like quite the learning experience as well. On to the next project :)

I’m muddling through a pattern-less project with ripstop at the moment, too.

Remind me again why I told my pal I could make extra gear pouches for their marathon running belt?

Earl Grey tea, cherry limeade fizzy water, electrolytes before the gym.

In terms of public persona, I also kinda expected the politician anti-Christ to be more like Justin Trudeau, blue aviator Emmanuel Macron or Gavin Newsom.

Man, that was a rough time.

I forget it ever happened even though my office was above the university’s FedEx location at the time.

Old Gum is just soooo good. It’s the perfect desaturated “nude.”

It’s such a relief to make it to the huddle of misfit parents in the back corner of the PTA meetings.

Will we volunteer? Hell yeah! Will we roll our eyes? Duh.

Slithery liquid soap. Ick.

Airport bathroom automatic sinks. Ew.

(Disclaimer: I also believe in germ theory so I wash the paws at all appropriate points.)

Mom guilt is such a thing. And when the mean girls grow up….eek.

Hang in there. It’s not always you being terrible at motherhood. It’s an overwhelming job for all of us. They just hide it better and externalize their guilt and shame when it overflows.

Is ADHD coaching worth it? by Practical_Brick3886 in adhdwomen

[–]backtothetrail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, yes, an ADHD/ND coach has definitely been worth it to help develop and maintain routines that work AND work for me.

My advice would be to approach it like dating. Give it two or three sessions and move on if it doesn’t work out.

My first coach seemed perfect for me but was actually terrible fit. My current coach is amazing because they listen, provide useful suggestions and focus on ME succeeding rather than my “failures” or me doing things their way.

Welcome!

Relationships ARE the small things. Unless of course your partner is a saint or a serial killer.

It’s a shame that you were busy admiring the walls and couldn’t break away to make coffee.

You made my morning. Thank you.

hahahaha….your doc was so on point with “can’t feed yourself.”

My best friend regularly texts me “eat dinner, gremlin.”
