[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a frumpy SAHM too, OP. As it turned out, I did have undiagnosed ADHD, which was formally discovered when my DS was diagnosed with ADHD years later. My kids were well cared for, but I gained a lot of weight, became slobby, and was depressed.

I ended up going back to work and eventually getting ADHD treatment. I am not sure which made it better. Now I WOH.

One thing is that your kids may have ADHD too, so getting some awareness would be good. I am really good at advocating and caring for my kid with SNs. Myself, not so much.

Good luck.[/quote]

What were your steps in getting your ADHD diagnosed, other than your son's diagnosis, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for sharing your story.[/quote]

When my DS started struggling, I recognized some of the patterns (not all, sadly for me, the H part doesn't take the form of athleticism like it does with my DS!) I eventually took a diagnostic test like this one

I then asked my DS's neuropsychiatrist for a referral and went from there. The doctor said my experience is really common. ADHD in girls/women isn't well-recognized, and mothers are sometimes diagnosed after their kids.

Good luck. It hasn't been the easiest of journeys, but I am much better off with a diagnosis, therapy, and low-dose meds.[/quote]
