How do ADHD mamas get anything done?
Hello all,
I am currently 13 weeks along and I have SEVERE ADHD. Obviously I'm no longer allowed to be on my stimulant medication and the last 9 weeks have been MISERABLE.
I feel like my life is falling apart because not only am I dealing with the regular nausea and fatigue from early pregnancy, I am also dealing with the absolutely crushing weight of having ZERO motivation to complete anything I need to do. I will say that I am dealing with extreme water retention due to being off of my diuretic medication as well so I have already gained at least 30 pounds and get out of breath so easily now.
My house is a mess, the clothes and junk are just piling up. I see the things I need to do, I just cannot do anything except lie in bed. I do get little bits of motivation every once in a while and can accomplish a small task like getting clothes in the wash, and then somehow my jelly brain forgets and they stay there for days.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
