ADHD + Motherhood

Trigger warning: talk of suicidal ideation towards the end of the episode ‼️
First dive into ADHD and motherhood today! Sharing my experience with adhd as a child, getting diagnosed 3 years ago as an adult. How it works with motherhood and raising toddlers compared to now raising a teen. Motherhood is hard and incredible but harder than we ever talk about. Which then makes us feel the need to be these perfect mothers which eventually leads to a crash. I see you mothers!! I see you women with ADHD who didn’t know what was wrong with you until you were a full grown adult with a whole life you created but didn’t know how to handle and feel so exhausted you don’t even recognize yourself.. 👀 . I see u!!
