is it possible to develop a form of adult ADD/ADHD due to postpartum hormones/issue, etc? I work in a very high demand job – juggling multiple, deadline driven projects at once (all the time) I knew that as a FTM (first time mom) coming back to work would be a struggle the first couple of months, but I still don’t FEEL right. In the beginning, I attributed it to severe sleep deprivation. . . but I’ve now been back to work for almost 6 months, and I’m still struggling.

It’s kind of hard to explain and at the risk of sounding overly dramatic, I just feel stupid! I feel like my mind is racing all the time, with all these things I need to do, yet I spend my time daydreaming, playing on the computer or procrastinating until the very last moment. Keep in mind – they usually get done, but I’m just so forgetful, so spaced out half the time. I’ve always prided myself on my organizational skills, time management, etc – but now I just feeling I’m constantly in “survival mode” if that makes any sense? I just can’t seem to FOCUS on anything. A good example (albeit very weird) is that I now run late every single morning. I arrive on time, but used to get here 15-20 minutes early – even though I’m running late and I know it – I will just be late. Does that make any sense at all?
