Common Struggles of Moms with ADHD‼️ 🤹🏼‍♀️🎭🤕

💬 As a teen, my room was always clean and organized. I loved having everything where it belonged. As I aged and had children, that skill became more complicated, and I would beat myself up for it‼️

💪🏻 I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 32, and my whole life didn’t make sense‼️ How could I have had ADHD and not know it⁉️ My masking skills were so good that it didn’t become an issue till my cup was too full‼️

💚 Many women are living every day struggling with ADHD, and they don’t even know it. Walking into their closets, pantry, or garages looks like that. We are not lazy. We want to organize and clean it, but our brains don’t know how to prioritize correctly and it gets overwhelming‼️ It brings on mom shame, guilt, and lack of self-love because we see ourselves as failures‼️

🧠 We blame it on the children and not having time to do it, but the reality is we lack executive functioning skills‼️ What are executive functioning skills⁉️ Executive function skills help our brains prioritize tasks, filter distractions, and control impulses. These mental processes help people manage everyday tasks, such as making plans, solving problems, and adapting to new situations.
