🌼 Hey everyone! 💖 I just wanted to say sorry for being less active lately! Life’s been a bit of a rollercoaster while I’ve been trialing different ADHD meds to find the right fit for me. 🎢 The last dosage? YIKES! 😅 It had me feeling super slow and kind of out of it, which is why I’ve been so quiet.
