    Oh yes. I just self diagnosed within the last few months at 47 1/2. I don’t have the resources to get officially diagnosed but my therapist said I’m showing all the signs. Learning just a few things over the last couple of weeks I’ve been able to have many aha moments, quit trying to pursue jobs that do not excite me and launch full-time into my own content creation here on UA-cam and writing my historical novel it is like being a kid again how much all of this gives me so much dopamine and energy and excitement. Well between that and getting on progesterone to help with perimenopause. Excited to listen to this.

    This is helping so much. I feel that tension as well and what kept me from hearing my friend who said she has been gently suggesting I am adhd for a few years. Since she got diagnosed. I was a straight A honor rolled highly motivated student. Still am. I love it. So I never had issues with school for most part. I thot maybe it was just that because it is a dopamine hit for me this is why I could do that. But maybe its autism??

    Yes, to the seasons in our cycle, however, the deeper you get into perimenopause, it becomes mostly fall in winter I have found. I am on my second or third month now of supplementing just with progesterone and it has like I mentioned earlier totally turned my life around between that and leaning into being ADHD

      I got diagnosed during perimenopause, I couldn't even function and get work done at the office as I had before. It does get worse. Cortisol levels, kept waking me up btwn 2 and 3 a.m. I went down all the wrong alleys to figure out why I was waking, sleep study, digestion issues, it was the cortisol, which spiked in the middle of the night. Once the anxiety caused by unprocessed cortisol is managed, the memory improved and sleep was key.

      No. All people have hormones regardless of whether or not they have ADHD.
