I love this ❤️ I've noticed lately that my phone is LITERALLY attached to me all the time just in case I can have a sneak peak. You've inspired me to 'go all in' on motherhood (which sounds weird saying that) but like you say I probably need to recognise things, acknowledge, say them out loud and move forward. Thank you ❤️
Somebody inspired me to do the same once and it truly changed my perspective so I’m happy to pass it along. Also to remember - two truths can exist. Motherhood IS hard and a huge challenge, especially with ADHD. And it’s also beautiful and expansive. There’s room for it to be both 💌
Oh my goodness. I am where you were that summer 😓 I have combined ADHD and have a 19 month old. Not going to lie, I'm struggling lately. I've wanted to be a mum my whole life and now I'm here, I'm spending my time on my phone and missing pre-Jacob days. Not that they were very exciting... It's making me feel desperately sad and I think I need to go back to slow living. Spending less time on a screen. Living for the now and for me and my family - not for the outside world. The fake screen world we see... This article couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you ❤️
Ah Sarah I see you, you are not alone. We spend so much time on our phones during that time to try and block out some of that overwhelm that we feel. But I promise if you face those feelings and go all in, they’re not as scary as we think. Sometimes all it takes is leaving your phone at home and taking a walk to realise there’s a whole world for us and our kids out there 💌
