Most of us don’t have the $1000's needed to access medical/ scientific research the journals. But while there are countless ways that money is a barrier to getting proper medical care, getting ahold of the research info you need isn't: hedonish.com/free-journal-ar…

Is your ADHD harder to manage around your period? You aren't imagining things...because it actually is.
Estrogen exacerbates ADHD symptoms while also affecting other contributing factors like sleep, verbal memory, mood, and the dopamine reward system.

If your cycle makes your ADHD harder to manage, it's not just you! Hormone fluctuations especially estrogen, exacerbate ADHD symptoms and impacts sleep, memory, mood, and the dopamine reward system.
If you have #ADHD and menstruate, how do you feel those factors affect you?

Let those who aren't a good fit opt out before your feelings are involved. They're not going to become the person you need just because you want them to be. Safe yourself the hurt and feelings of rejection—you deserve so much better than that.

There's no right way to open up a relationship, no right way to be in a relationship, and no timeline that things are "supposed to" happen on. Figuring out what's right for you and being honest and upfront with your partner(s) is a good place to start.

Take a step back and think about where sex, pleasure, and intimacy fit into your life right now. What do they look like for you?

A theme I see with my chronically ill/disabled clients is how internalized ableism leaks into every aspect of life, but especially so in relationships. You do not need to feel "lucky" to be in a relationship with someone who isn't giving you the kindness and respect you deserve.

Latex allergies/sensitivities aren't always the dramatic anaphylaxis you might be picturing. Sensitivities/allergies can develop at any time and can present as anything from skin irritation to full-blown anaphylaxis.

Social media has become an integral part of our culture that it's easy to forget that they're run by private corporations that can ban, hide, or restrict content in any way they see fit.

Rather than telling women not to apologize so much, perhaps we could educate people better about consent and how to gracefully accept a "no," so that it stops being necessary for women to apologize for turning down unwanted advances.

You never realize how boring as fuck it is to be sick until a chronic illness and ADHD collide.
