ADHD Aha | The pain of struggling with basic tasks: ADHD in the pandemic (Ellyce Fulmore's story)

Ellyce Fulmore had structures in place her whole life that kept her ADHD hidden. When the pandemic hit, those structures disappeared. Doing basic daily tasks — things like cooking and running errands — got really hard. Then she went down a research rabbit hole on ADHD in women and asked for an ADHD evaluation.

Before the pandemic, Ellyce had been struggling with impulsive spending. It made her feel like she was in control, when really the spending was controlling her. Now, she’s the author of the book Keeping Finance Personal.
