Navigating ADHD and Overwhelming Motherhood

Hey there, overwhelmed mama. Are you constantly juggling a million tasks, feeling like your brain is in overdrive, and still dropping balls left and right? Maybe you've been diagnosed with ADHD, or perhaps you're wondering if your scattered feelings are just par for the course in this wild journey of motherhood. Whether you're dealing with a neurodivergent brain or simply drowning in the sea of endless responsibilities that come with raising tiny humans, you're not alone. The lines between ADHD and the chaos of modern motherhood can often blur, leaving you feeling lost, frustrated, and wondering if you're cut out for this gig at all. But here's the truth: you are, and I'm here to help you find your way through the storm.

ADHD or "Mom Brain"? Understanding the Difference

Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're dealing with ADHD or if you're just overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. Here's a quick breakdown:

ADHD Symptoms:

  • Persistent difficulty focusing, even before kids

  • Chronic disorganization and time management struggles

  • Impulsivity and emotional dysregulation

  • These issues significantly impact multiple areas of life

"Mom Brain" Overwhelm:

  • Forgetfulness and distraction tied to lack of sleep or stress

  • Difficulty juggling multiple responsibilities

  • Feeling scattered, but able to focus when given uninterrupted time

  • These issues are primarily related to the demands of parenting

Motherhood requires a lot of the mind and body. You are doing a great job!
