I coped with kids and a busy career, so why was I suddenly overwhelmed?

I related to this article a little too much. I, too, began to collapse under stress in my mid-40s.

    I think my mother had undiagnosed ADHD and my daughter has diagnosed ADHD. so I am getting tested. 40’s have been absolute mess with stress. Gained over 70 pounds with stress that lead to 4 bouts of depression. I’m finally pulling out on mental health meds and got on Wegovy for weight after everything else failed.

    I thought it was I was “weak” and couldn’t handle things anymore. This article really articulates what has been happening in my life the last 7 years. I’m just grateful for this community
