Why Friendship Feels Hard for Moms with ADHD
Friendship in motherhood is often framed as something that just takes effort. Reach out more. Follow up. Be consistent. Show up. But for many moms with ADHD, friendship isn’t just about effort, it’s about capacity. You can be warm, outgoing, deeply caring, and genuinely long for connection… and still find friendship hard to sustain in this season of life. That doesn’t mean you’re a bad friend. It means ADHD and motherhood together can stretch your capacity in ways that aren’t always visible to others.
