What’s your funniest ADHD Story?!😜

🚨 Emotional Rollercoaster incoming 🚨
ADHD already gave us mood swings… then perimenopause said, “Hold my wine.” 🍷
New = laughs, tears, and probably nachos.�

• ADHD brings rejection sensitivity + emotional dysregulation.
• Perimenopause adds estrogen/progesterone rollercoasters.
• Practical tips: exercise, humor, therapy journaling, magnesium, setting boundaries.
