I am a mom of a 2 (almost 3) y/o and a 2 month old. I am breast feeding therefore I have not been on my medication in almost a year. I am terrified of going back to work without meds. The pressure to breastfeed for 1+ years while also dealing with the pressure of working full time is a real challenge for me given my ADHD. Heck, it’s a challenge for non-neurodivergent parents! You are not alone. I find it helpful to have a frank conversation with myself – do I need to recharge? Can I push myself? My instinct is to avoid uncomfortable social situations because I am so maxed out from work. Once I gauge how much I have in the tank, so to speak, I can better determine whether to graciously decline or willingly accept invitations.
