@itsalotpod: One of the most interesting parts of my chat with Dr Monique Michelson was around how hormones come into play and affect neurodivergent individuals, especially as our hormones change over our lives through things like pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause etc. There needs to be more research, more support and more discussions on this topic as a whole.
The most awful time of my life atm. Burning hot, (worse) anxiety, insomnia, rage, emotional, pain everywhere, confusion and the list goes on. I'm 58 and it's been going on for almost 10 yrs. Hell.

You just get a marina at the start and by the time the marina needs replacing menopause is over.

The symptoms didn’t get worse, the ability to manage them did because that time goes to managing being a parent 🙌

When you understand how much our hormones can affect our ADHD it all makes sense.

Menopause in your 30s is the worst. Because your told your crazy and you don’t know your own body.

Me. I’m 56 & now post-menopausal. I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD 2 yrs ago. Perimenopause was a nightmare. I literally thought I had early onset dementia. The ADHD diagnosis & medication was an absolute fucking godsend!

My ADHD is raging. I’m almost certain I didn’t notice how hard core it was when I was a teen because I was self medicating. I’ve never struggled more at 50 👀 it’s literal hell
