I always tell people, Adderall made me a better mom. It sounds bad, but when I'm on my medicine I have patience, I'm not easily overwhelmed, everything feels quieter. ❤️

💯. If I would have been diagnosed before I had my daughter--25 years ago, instead of at 52--I would have been such a better mom. She is ADHD, probably audhd, diagnosed at 20. Her childhood was hard for/on both of us.

Both my son and I have ADHD and it’s one of the hardest things for us to each regulate our emotions. I want to patient, kind and understanding because I didn’t get that as a child. But it’s a struggle!!!

I have so much guilt that my kids were raised while I was in survival mode and struggling with undiagnosed ADHD

I feel like I spend A LOT of time apologizing for my reactions/ dysregulation. Constantly trying to navigate how to show up the right way for my children when I’m split seconds away from screaming at them is exhausting 🥴

My son’s verbal stim for the last 9 months has been either a foghorn noise, the Harry Potter theme music or the word tits and words or sounds that rhyme with it. I’m triggered by noise.. So… yeah… been having a swell time 🫠🫠🫠

Add on being a single parent where there are no breaks and zero time allowable to regulate.

Mrs A :
Being a teacher and a mom with ADHD has been one of the biggest sources of anxiety and shame for me. I know I’m a good teacher. I know I’m a good mom. Those two things are constantly outweighed by the emotional toll that each side takes on me because every time I have to do something that is specifically impacted by my ADHD, it’s ten times harder than it should be. The emotional toll of it all means I’m never fully regulated and being on summer “break” is so difficult.

So real. I got medicated for the first time one year pp and it made all the different for me on being able to regulate, night and day difference. Being able to pause and give yourself grace is key ❤️
