L. Theanine has been a game changer for increased patience with my child

I will preface this by saying I suspect I have ADHD but have never been diagnosed. I have a 1.5 year old & I would be so touched out and irritable by the end of the day that I couldn't connect with my partner or child anymore. If bedtime was going off the rails - I was going off the rails with it. I started taking L. Theanine at the suggestion of a friend and pretty immediately I felt more like myself. I had more patience, I wasn't so stressed about mundane things. I was no longer irritated at my partner's existence at the end of the day & we reestablished intimacy. I forgot to take it yesterday and felt the same feelings of irritability return. It has truly been a miracle for my motherhood experience and I wanted to share in case anyone is in the same boat.
