The ADHD stay at home mom
It is so hard. But the more I learn about adhd the better I seem to be able to stay ontop of things.
I'm trying to decide between witing for our new insurance in Sept and trying to get in with an adhd trained therapist now. I've only made the connection between my daily struggles and adhd. And money, as always, is an issue with getting help.
Anyone else dealing with this? I'm interested in hearing from moms on meds but esp those who are learnning to function without meds. I'll not be able to try meds for years as from my research meds arent safe for breastffeeding either, so I'm not going to be able to try for about 4-5 years. I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I full term breastfeed. My current youngest weaned only a few months ago at about 4yrs 4 months old.
