It’s always been hard for me to keep up with friends, but as a new mom it’s felt downright impossible. Do I message instead of sleep? Sleep is already so hard with her teething. Or message instead of be present with my baby? Or instead of work, when I’m already so behind? Seriously how do moms DO it

What do you wish you had the willpower to do? Asking for an episode…

Who wants to know something about #ADHD? I’m awake 🤣 AMA

If you have ADHD kids, forget “hide and go seek.” Teach them games like “figure out where this goes and then keep it there!” 😆 MUCH more helpful life skill

I regret to inform you that life with #ADHD does not, in fact, “settle down.” Whatever you’ve got on hold until it does, maybe put on your cal for tomorrow.

Even if it’s just 5 minutes worth of whatever the activity is.

Those w/ADHD deserve to enjoy life, too.

UPDATE: I just found rice on my shirt. From lunch. 3 hours ago.

OK maybe I do still need more than 5 hours of sleep.

However, in relative-to-yesterday terms I am doing GREAT 🤣

UPDATE: I cleaned only the left half of my desk before running out of steam. Still calling it a win.

Me, before baby:

I only got 5 hours of sleep, ima be useless today

Me, after baby:

I GOT 5 HOURS OF SLEEP!
*works out*
*calls bill companies*
*cleans desk*
*plans Christmas*
*does ALL THE THINGS because this amount of sleep may never happen again*

Where did you first get the idea that the only acceptable version of yourself is one that involves essentially…not having #ADHD?

I’ll go first

Fun fact: those with #ADHD are often early tech adopters 🤓 I’m not at all shocked that we ended up here.
