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
Doctor B@theedoctorb.bsky.social · 2y ago7:30am: our already-fed, 10-month-old daughter, giggles, claps, and rhythmically bangs on things because daddy is on the floor with her and playing Bohemian Rhapsody on kazoo in our no-door, open concept house. Y’all, pray for @howtoadhd.bsky.social. 🤣
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 Signed, someone who has had to run home 3 times because she can’t remember what is there and what is at the office
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.
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 The lost and found box walk of shame
