Why Am I Like This!?: ADHD and Perimenopause - The Handbook

De: Sam Davis

Narrado por: Suzi Tatford

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re not going mad.

You’re a 40 something woman navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause and the lifelong wiring of ADHD—probably without ever being told how the two collide. Until now.

Why Am I Like This?! is the science-backed, laugh-through-the-tears guide you didn’t know you needed. Written by a yoga teacher, mindset coach and midlife woman with lived experience, this book gently unpacks what happens when declining oestrogen and a dopamine-deficient brain join forces - and why everything suddenly feels harder than it used to.

Inside, you’ll find:

- The missing link between ADHD and perimenopause
- Why the “simple” things feel impossible
- The shame spiral decoded, and how to get out of it
- Gentle, actionable strategies (no 5am miracle routines here)
- And the relief of finally understanding you’re not alone.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed recently, always suspected something was up, or just feel like you’re permanently treading water, this book will help you feel seen, supported, and a whole lot less feral.

Because your life isn’t falling apart.
You’re just starting to understand your brain.

How helpful it was.

I was grateful to have answers for my struggles with ADHD. It was very healing.

Couldn’t stand the narrator

I would guess if you are a fan of ASMR, then the narration might not bother you. But I couldn’t even make it halfway through. Shame, because the content was alright
