    So my wife definitely has this… How can I best support her when this is happening? I’ve just asked her as well, but more opinions/experienced thoughts can’t hurt.

      You are a wonderful partner. Many people don’t realize how debilitating ADHD really is.

      I can’t recommend the How to ADHD YouTube channel highly enough!

      It’s aimed mostly at people who have ADHD themselves, but there’s TONS of valuable insight for loved ones in some of the videos too, so I highly recommend that you both check it out.

      Maybe even watch some of them together and discuss during/afterwards, if you’re good enough at accommodating each other’s content consumption preferences 🙂

      More supportive people, just one person nagging would make it worse. Encourage her to take little steps, it’s hard to imagine how small steps can lead to a positive outcome.

      Help her build a routine and habit, it doesn’t come naturally.
