This week in clinic I’ve seen so many overwhelmed ADHD mums.
And I just want you to hear this: you are doing an amazing job.
It’s hard stopping work to do school pick-up.
It’s hard being in the monotony stage.
It’s hard caring for everyone else while you’re running on empty.
The laundry piles up.
The dishes wait.
Your brain freezes because there are too many things to do.
So you put Netflix on. And that’s okay.
Ignore the Facebook mum groups preaching routines and perfection.
Ignore the commentary about organic purées and “doing more”.
Ignore the side-eye at the takeaway shop when they know your order.
This stage is heavy — especially with an ADHD brain.
Reach out to your people.
The ADHD mums.
The probably-ADHD mums.
The mums with older kids who get it.
You are not failing.
You are surviving a demanding season.
And you are doing better than you think 🤍
