44 years old and in the throes of perimenopause and thinking more and more I may have ADHD. My older son was dx years ago and apparently my parents had me evaluated as a child but they were told that because I slept well and did well in school, I was just “spirited.” 🙃 Looking forward to hearing your story!
I noticed on Pinterest earlier this week that there was quite a few pictures of women coming up smoking, and I thought at the time, is this really trending when wellness seems so massive…but then I guess nostalgia is up there too right now. anyway looking forward to reading your ADHD post, my husband is currently waiting for his assessment.
I was d/o with ADHD at 47 (now 49). I had it my whole life, yet, it didn’t truly develop to come to the service until I stepped back from a demanding Human Services position, and then started to slow down my work routine with a more of a one-on-one service within individuals with intellectual and developmental “abilities” medication and patiently beginning to understand that my people pleasing, worry wort, anxiety cycling big hearted self, was spiraling into unwanted thoughts of mush. I felt, but I was constantly holding an umbrella over my head, even when it would never rain.
Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult has changed my relationships with others, allowed me to have more self-confidence and be more determined to allow things to happen naturally.
I got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and it has explained so much! Looking forward to your post!

They may think smoking is cool, but watching a loved one die from lung disease and lung cancer is not.
I’m looking forward to next week’s post. Thank you for being willing to share with us!
Love the article about productivity hacks! I picked up a few myself. I’m eager to read next week’s post about ADHD. Thank you for being open about it!
