Do you often feel as if your life is out of control and that it has become impossible to meet demands?
Is all your time and energy taken up with coping, staying organized and holding it together, with no time for fun or relaxation?
Do memory lapses and inattention interfere with your routine, preventing you from achieving a happy life?
Are you clueless as to how others manage to lead consistent, regular lives?
It can be really hard for someone who does not have ADHD to truly understand.
ADHD in women often goes undiagnosed. Too many women have grown up being called lazy, selfish, spacey or dumb because their symptoms were simply ignored or disregarded. All of this has been fostered by poor scientific research and outdated sexual norms that have forced women to hide and mask ADHD symptoms. Stereotypes about cleanliness, organisation, cooperation, compliance and social behaviors can encourage girls and women to painfully deny or compensate for their needs. But now, we have had enough.
It is for this reason that many women grow up feeling misunderstood. Sometimes their difficulties are mistaken for being "hormonal" or "anxious".
You deserve better.
