Not following through/ adhd

So I had add/adhd and honestly I have a problem with following through when it comes to things at times. Just basic stuff and my family sees that as a problem and stress out about it. Does anyone else also have the same problem

Yes and being pregnant I went off my meds for the baby and phew did that make things worse for my ADHD. On top of that literally every single symptom is a test to my patience lol

I’ve had it since I was a kid and also now with having my child. How do you cope because I use to take meds for it. But now I can’t because I loose a lot of weight

well I don't know about you but I was diagnosed with ASD as a child and my ADHD came with it so it might be a little different for you but the best thing I can tell you is absolutely no caffeine. It sucks, it does. But on your worst days it feels like it makes it worse. I also suggest doing things immediately and not saying "I'll get to it" in any shape or form because that's how we set ourselves up for failure. The next thing I have is therapy twice a week but I know that's not an option for everyone. I also try to reward myself with the little things like my favorite snack/s or music or shows in reward for getting shit done.

I also have friends who make good accountability buddies and it helps to have a friend text me to remind me of what needs to be done because I'm not a big phone person and I'll miss notifications from my calendar and stuff so you can try that too! You can DM me if you need and I can try to help you like that as well
