Newly diagnosed :)

Diagnosis

Hi friends! I’m a first time mom with a 16 month old and I just got my diagnosis (mild ADHD.) The psychologist assumes that I’ve probably always had it, but becoming a mother just amplified it to the point where I could no longer ignore it. My biggest issues that I struggle with are:

  1. task paralysis
  2. fear of rejection
  3. CONSTANT inner voice
  4. difficulty regulating emotion if I am overwhelmed

Does anyone have recommendations on what helps them the most? TIA!
