Are you making your self-care a priority? Take care of the basics first. Good sleep, water, healthy food, exercise. Find what works for you to relieve the stress in your body. Check in and see what you need everyday. It's easy to slip into autopilot. A wise woman once told me that your sustainable success will equal your level of self-care. And she's so right. We get busy and our self-care gets pushed aside. Before you know it, you're sick, burned out, can't keep up. When your stress increases, your self-care must increase and be top priority when you start your day. You got this! ❤️

•The diagnostic criteria for attention deficit disorder were designed to identify ADHD in children — not adults. People who fly under the radar may never get diagnosed.
•93% of adult psychiatrists, when asked, report that they've never had any ADHD training.
•They are stuck with the disruptive little boy archetype and don't recognize that adults with ADHD experience other symptoms.
•Adults with ADHD have struggled their entire lives. They've been told over and over that they're not living up to expectations.
•Adults with ADHD experience the withdrawal of love, approval, or respect in a catastrophically painful way.
•This buildup of shame can make even walking out the door in the morning an act of courage.
•Doctors often mistake ADHD symptoms in adults for mood disorders, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other conditions with overlapping symptoms.
•For adults, hyperactivity can be turned inward. You may think that your racing thoughts stem from anxiety when they are really caused by over-activity in the brain caused by ADHD.
•Doctors need time to find and put together the pieces of various ADHD symptoms during a thorough clinical interview, but most doctors only have a 15-minute visit. It's not enough time.
•40% of adults with ADHD say difficulty sleeping is their biggest impairment. They can't turn off their minds. They toss and turn, fidget, and worry. Another 20% fall asleep easily, only to wake in a couple hours with their minds bouncing around.
•Over time, they find lots of ways to compensate for ADHD symptoms and make their way through life. The diagnosis usually occurs when an adult has a child diagnosed with ADHD, adds a new family member, or takes on more in their career and the extra stress becomes too much to bear.
•When ADHD goes undiagnosed, it can lead to low self-esteem from a lifetime's build-up of poor job and relationship performance.
•Many adults self-medicate with alcohol or drugs.
•There are a lot of misconceptions about medications. Ask questions and search for correct information.
•Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right treatment for you. Don’t give up without trying several alternatives.

Misdiagnosed ADHD in adults can create a lifetime of emotional turmoil. Why can't I keep up? Why is this so hard? Dr. Dodson explains how to spot the signs and (finally!) understand what's holding you back.

Background: Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the body. It is especially abundant in the skin. Collagen levels decline with age, which contributes to a loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles. This review describes the current research on collagen supplementation and skin health.
The study: This review includes six randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of various hydrolyzed-collagen supplements on skin health.
The results: The daily consumption of hydrolyzed collagen appears to improve many aspects of skin health, such as elasticity, dryness, and wrinkling.

It is a myth that stimulants cause hyperactivity and inattention in "normal" people but have the opposite effect in those with ADHD.

In this eMedTV article, we talk about why so many people believe that stimulants can have a calming effect -- but only on people who have ADHD. We describe what the term
