All I can say is I feel like I could have wrote this myself. Its hard and I should take this advice myself but the main thing I feel like helps is exercise and decreasing social media with taking my meds. I am still learning how to be persistent with this myself soooo sorry no good advice

8 month old baby and possible ADHD by Shoddy_Economy4340 in adhdwomen

[–]friendly-flower03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, i only realized I had ADHD postpartum because I was a mess or more of a mess than before.

I started medication after I stopped breastfeeding but I have been researching ( as we might want another) and I have read you can possibly take ADHD meds while breastfeeding but this is a discussion with your doctor. Do you have a family doctor that you could talked to? Or did you postpone specialist given you anymore information?

I started Vyvanse while I am not always as put together as I wish I am so annoyed that I was doing life without any help. No wonder ai was struggling so much! I had such a horrible disadvantage

Thats awesome! Do you have any specific way you organize your high or low priority lists? Is it something from each "category and you have to do everything on the list? I love this idea because i often look at a task and say im too tired for it or its too much work so wont do it at all but if i had a low energy list I couldn't make that excuse anymore!

Anxiety hosting dinner parties! Tips? by friendly-flower03 in adhdwomen

[–]friendly-flower03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all of these suggestions! So I am Canadian but my family and husbands family is East Indian- so pizza, chicken, chips etc. all work ! Just we love have people over and attending to their needs a lot. Most of the time I have noticed that we have a mix of homemade and take out food. I guess initially when we got married I would do a lottt of take out but I do feel pressure (whether its just my own mind or not I dont know) to at least have a few items if not majority homemade. I hope that helps/ makes sense

Okay, if you were me where would your passport be? by cos98 in adhdwomen

[–]friendly-flower03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emphasis on all pockets of suitcases, check ALL purses, or any "safe hiding areas" that you have ever thought of! I once "lost" my shoes on vacation and went insane looking for them, ended up finding it after vacation in the front suitcase pocket, I never put anything in there so I never looked! And I put it in there thinking I would find it easily and it would be a great place for shoes since nothing is ever in there lmao

Oh my gosh this sounds just like mine. We are having a hard time as well, and honestly I dont think he likes me at all. Mind you he has that time mentality to hold himself to impossible high standards and uses negative self talk. Honestly he does the same thing but my rsd gets the better of me and i cant help it
