šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøDID YOU KNOW? Your ADHD can present differently at different points in your life. Your coping mechanisms can change throughout your life. You may struggle differently throughout your life, even if the core issue is similar. We are not static.

It’s hard to do things on your own.

Checking in with care providers or having a community gather around us when we make lifestyle changes, is very important.

It’s something we should talk more about.

⚠ Social media isn’t the place to get diagnosed. But it sure can be a helpful tool for understanding we aren’t alone in symptoms we may be experiencing, and that an assessment (and ultimately treatment, yay!) might be worth exploring.

🌹 FSAID combines what we previously described as hypoactive s*xual desire disorder (recurrent or persistent lack / absence of s*xual desire & fantasies for s*xual activity that results in distress or interpersonal difficulty) and female arousal disorder (reduced sensation, pleasure or excitement during s*xual activity). This combination recognizes that s*xual desire and interest is linked to physical arousal (or in simpler terms, our brain/nervous system is intricately connected to how our s*x organs work!).

If a lack of s*xual desire (or a lack of excitement during s*x) is impacting your life and your relationship(s) negatively, and this has been persisting (especially for over 6 months), there are options for assessment, investigation and treatment.

Sexual function is complex and individual. It is also very impactful to our quality of life and intimately affects our relationships with others (and ourselves). Complexity in medicine sometimes means we shy away from addressing a concern because treatment isn’t obvious or linear or easy. But our s*xual health deserves individualized support with our care providers. Our s*xual desire matters and most importantly, we shouldn’t feel like our lack of desire means we are defective or problematic or uptight because this isn’t medically accurate at all.

🧠 Is your brain and body forever changed by pregnancy and child rearing?

āœ”ļøIN SHORT, YES!

šŸ¦‹ Like a caterpillar metamorphosis into a butterfly, you quite literally shift into a new version of yourself. The prevailing rhetoric has been that the changes associated with pregnancy and birth fully ā€œresolveā€ in the postpartum era. However, we now know that even as your hormones return to prepregnancy levels, physiologically, you never return to exactly how (and who) you were pre-pregnancy. You are changed by the act of being pregnant, by the act of birth and again changed repeatedly by the daily continuous acts of raising young humans. This imprints on your brain, on you as a whole, via neural adaptations and more.
Abandoning the idea of ā€œgetting backā€ to who you were before having a child/children, can be freeing. Changing our understanding, both socially and medically, of how a body and brain adapt to the demands of gestation, birth and parenting, allows us to focus on figuring out who you are becoming now.

🧠Matrescence: A female’s transition from a pre-pregnancy state, through pregnancy and into parenthood.

šŸƒ The brain changes so distinctly during this time that we understand this to be the single greatest shift in brain plasticity in an adult life, with imaging research comparing the changes to that of adolescence. A 2021 study found that a mother’s brain will differ markedly for up to 6 years after birth, while other literature suggests the imprint of matresence is permanent and affects cognitive reserve and cognitive function later in life.

āœ”ļøKnowing that this time in a person’s life leaves their brain so primed for change is powerful but also confers an element of vulnerability. As we continue to understand more about female cognition through key hormonal transitions including adolescence, perimenopause and post menopause, we begin to realize there is a huge gap in our knowledge base as the gravity of what matrescence truly is, begins to sink in (despite the fact that concept of matresence has been around since the 1970s!)
