People with ADHD are unusually sensitive to hormone shifts. Psychiatrists have started to pay attention, creating strategies to address the intense emotions and cognitive challenges caused by these changes
I have a friend who was eagerly awaiting perimenopause because of the calm she felt postpartum. She’s on HRT now because she discovered that she does better on the oestrogens. It was just the fluctuations that were wrecking her the whole time.
Even birth control is nowhere near as even as a shot every few weeks once the maniacal moon twins finally take a break. Anyway, whatever ends up working for you, don’t be afraid to experiment and advocate for yourself, Loudly.🫂
That’s interesting to hear. Doctors are usually too busy throwing antipsychotics at me to think about hormones, now that they’ve stopping blaming my period, exercise, sleep and general over-reacting.
I have learned to be very loud when it comes to anything medical. I should loudly ask about hormones, too.

Have you tried not being a woman?
By the time I have to discuss perimenopause I’m going in with a fake beard and this shirt.
