I don't want to be one of those moms who's like snapping at her baby who can't talk yet and targeted. Hi, ladies. I'm a new mom. I'm in love with her, completely. But I'm tired. And so the minute I stopped breastfeeding her, I was like, okay, I am getting my Botox first of all. And I'm going back on my. I was worried though. I have a crash the day. Like sometimes I have a hard time sleeping. I don't want to be one of those moms snapping at her baby. And I talked to my therapist about it. And she told me that there's actually something with your stimulants that helps with those downsides. And I have been taking stasis with my Adderall and it's been amazing. It's like a game-changer. 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock hits, it keeps my energy maintained in a way that I don't actually even remember what it that crash. Like it's that consistent. And then at nighttime, like I think anybody who takes Adderall knows that there are some nights where you have a hard time sleeping. I have not been experiencing that at all. I'm still tired. Cause I gotta get up with baby. So it hasn't been that bad. But like to go from an entire year of being absolutely exhausted to feeling like myself again. And actually excited and enjoying those little moments of being mom without that tired kind of hopeless feeling that we've all felt in those moments.
