This is just my anecdotal observation, but I don’t think overspending is *just* an impulsivity thing for folks with ADHD (though that’s certainly part of it!).
I have a complicated relationship to the concept of “rest.”
Let’s normalize sharing our ✨depression wins✨ By depression wins I don’t mean “pushing through,” I mean releasing judgement of where we are at and celebrating ourselves. What are yours for this week?
This is part of my ADHD Survival Guide (link in bio!), sharing tools and resources that have helped me throughout the pandemic. 🧠💪🏻
