Welcome back! Thanks for being here! I love bringing you new resources and help each week! If you want to see specific info here, be sure to let me know!

Are we losing our minds over the ADHD medication shortage? How are you doing? Are you having issues getting your prescription filled? We’re gonna be okay. But we need to take action.

This is getting national attention, as it should, and our members of Congress can help us. Last week, Rep. Spanberger sent a letter to the head of the DEA asking for help in addressing this issue.

Today, I called on the DEA to address ongoing shortages of Adderall and similar medications. Patients with ADHD and parents of children with ADHD and other conditions are still struggling. It’s time to do more. politico.com/newsletters/po…

If you are in the US and want to help to get this more attention at a federal level, please take a look at the article and ask your Representatives and Senators to do the same. I have included buttons to find out how to contact your members of Congress and a template of an email that you can send to them.

WORKSHOP ALERT! Getting Your Finances Together Workshop - Saturday, March 4th, 2023 - 1pm MST

ONLINE - 1 hour; COST - Pay what you can

Finances are a serious source of stress for so many people, and ADHD only makes it worse. Let’s change that.

During this 1-hour online workshop, our goals will be to:

  • Understand how ADHD creates financial mental blocks

  • Work to uncover and reduce areas of overspending

  • Create a detailed budget for each month

  • Explore strategies to save money

  • Connect dopamine and finances in a healthy way

  • Know how to monitor and adjust

    Register for the Workshop Now!

I get so many questions during LIVE events about great books for ADHDers. I’ve posted a few videos sharing some titles and info. The books below are great for us because they address issues we face as people with ADHD.

Check Out the Reading List

I love this playlist because the songs have a nice distinctive bilateral motion. Most are instrumental without being too slow and meditative. So, I would highly suggest this one for work, studying, or household tasks.

They are grouped as entire albums, so you may want to shuffle this one!

This also works great if you want to do a little meditation before bed, so give it a listen. If you are looking for a playlist for a certain activity, let me know, and I can do some digging!

I really want to work to ensure that ADHDers have a safe place where they can get support, make friends, and learn. As a paid member of Late to My Own Party, you get all kinds of fun things to help you navigate life with ADHD and to be part of a supportive, safe community of like-minded (literally, our brains work the same way) people. Upgrading also helps support this content and allows me to do work to help us all feel more seen and understood.

I’m in Virginia and this last refill was the first time I’ve had an issue in a long time. I take adderall and it seemed like all the pharmacies ran out at the same time. I was out for about a week and the struggle was real. I had to be hyper focused on every little thing I was thinking or doing to make sure that I wasn’t meandering way off track. There was a lot of talking to myself... “What are you doing?” “Is that why you came in here?” “You’re supposed to be ordering tampons, not bunny themed stationary.” You get the picture 😅
