A community for women to find support and discuss living with ADHD.

As requested, let's be human and check in with each other.

How in the hell are you? What did the last week bring? What are you looking (or not looking ) forward to this week? Any rants or raves?

Discussion can be about ADHD or off-topic: This is your canvas, ladies!

As I am not a mod of this community, I do not have the capacity to pin this post. I plan on making a post on Sundays where we can check in throughout the week as needed.

Please let me know if there is a better way of doing this - any ideas are welcome :). Grateful to be a part of this community.

Oh, thank you - my week is relaxing so far, and I am quite happy right now. Awesome to have this community and people who care!

Regarding taking mental health days, my favorite saying is "every time you say 'No' to something, you are saying 'Yes' to something else." If you are saying No to work on those days, you are saying Yes to yourself and self-care, and vice versa. I don't know why, but it stuck with me. We tend to only fret about one side and not focus on the other, but you need to consider both to make a decision.

Well put! I like that and will try and remember it for the next time I'm feeling anguish over my choices!
