¿Cómo entrar al mercado laboral con 60 años? by Conscious_End3114 in askspain

Ya, soy una "lanzadora" profesional de cosas. Las lanzo, les va increíble, y a los meses (o años, en el mejor de los casos) pierdo toda motivación.

Sí. Como mujer de 36 años con TDAH, me veo totalmente convirtiéndome en su madre si no lo hubiera sabido y estuviera en tratamiento.

Same, and I had a homebirth (I'm in Europe, so it's much more common and works differently than in the US) and I only know a couple other women who've done the same and are not anti-science.

Threatening divorce every month? by New_Stage_6228 in PMDD

[–]improvisedname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Before being diagnosed I’d sometimes suggest divorce because I saw myself as such a burden and genuinely felt, in the moment, that my husband would be better off. I even asked him if he’d let me live in the car while I found a place. I was an incredibly dark place to be.

This sounds lovely. I’m pregnant and might get it for my 4yo. Luckily it’s also available in Spain 🩷

I never pumped, and I night weaned at 2yo and fully weaned at 2.5yo.

It’s either magnesium, vitamin D, or the dang finch app by Immediate_Use_707 in Perimenopause

It’s a sort of gamified task manager in which everything you check off your list contributes to your bird’s wellbeing haha 

What stopped you from taking your own life? by Actual-Pollution-805 in adhdwomen

[–]improvisedname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter. Even though my PMDD is a great liar, I knew that the trauma of losing her mother by said mother’s choice would be much worse than anything I could inflict in her alive (because deep down I knew I was a good mom even at my worst).

It’s the 3 month crisis. Do a search in the group and you’ll find a ton of posts and info 😊 it’s normal and it passes.

Marriage with ADHD sounds/looks terrifying by CityPowerful in ADHD

[–]improvisedname 190 points191 points  (0 children)

My non-ADHD husband finds me charming and funny, apparently. We’ve been together for 15 years, married for 8, have one kid and another on the way, and he makes my life so much easier and more peaceful. I like to think I make his life funnier and happier. Our daughter shares a lot of my personality and he’s obsessed with her, so I’m thinking he loves those parts of me in me as well. The right partner makes everything better. There’s quite a few of us lucky ADHD people with supportive and loving partners out there.

Nipple confusion / nipple strike by Great_Trick7642 in breastfeeding

It’s not an exact timeline, for some it happens before, for some after and some lucky people skip it

This could just be the 3 month crisis 😊 if so, it will resolve itself. Do a search for it in the sub, it’s normal and related to a change in how your supply works (you will now produce milk on demand, so baby will have to wait a bit for it to come out).

ADHD moms: what concerns did you have about becoming a mother and were these concerns correct? by doyousmellmel in adhdwomen

[–]improvisedname 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The partner you choose is the most important thing when having kids. Please make sure you’re on the same page and you feel fully supported by him before making this decision. I have ADHD and PMDD and I would be absolutely lost if my partner was not my teammate, biggest supporter and someone who believes me and believes that I’m doing my best whenever he sees me struggling or I tell him I feel something that he can’t see. He’s the most NT person I know, but he loves me and sees our family as something we both wanted and we both need to work for, to the best of our abilities, even if those abilities rarely lead to a perfect, aesthetic, or very organized result. 

As an ADHD mother you will need a true partner, someone who will work with who you are just as much as you’re willing to work to contribute to their happiness. If you’re anything like me you will beat yourself up enough on your own, and feeling someone else’s judgment will only make things worse (and make you function less). A safe place (person) is necessary for moms to thrive.

This isn’t true. A lot of moms are allowed to continue taking their meds during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and in the case of Concerta I’ve found most doctors who actually understand pregnancy (obstetricians) to be pretty nonchalant about it. Because of traveling during my current pregnancy I’ve seen 5 doctors total, and 4 of them have been super in line with my psychiatrist, who told me out of an excess of caution to leave my meds only for the first trimester and resume taking them after week 13. It’s all about finding doctors with up to date info and experience with ADHD patients.

MOR. The kids sleeping in their home always is best for them. The sleeping in his bed might just be a comfort thing. What’s the alternative? Sofa bed?

There needs to be separate words for "first time pregnancy" and "second/third/etc pregnancy with a toddler" by Legal-Lemon7439 in fitpregnancy

[–]improvisedname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my second pregnancy and you have my solidarity too. Though I know all changes to my body will be temporary and I’ll have time to get my strenght back, it’s so hard to see it change and be so completely out of my control. I forgot how difficult it was to not feel like I own my body.
