You are not alone. For me, making sure I get therapy and medication management makes me a better mom. Sometimes I say “Mom is overstimulated, I’m going to take a break.” I step back and let the kids continue. Sometimes they urge me to jump back in and I redirect their attention to something less stimulating. I also let them know to raise their voices if they feel overstimulating so I can help. Modeling healthy behavior makes me feel like I’m breaking the cycle or at least changing the path for my kids.
