Finding the edge of one's limitations, the point where "just working harder" is no longer possible is sometimes the transformation needed for us to find our niche and start focusing on our own talents. This doesn't need to mean the stalling of our careers, it could mean finally focusing on our careers and not having our attention split in fifty different ways. It can be the point when we finally have enough of doing everyone else's chores, of being a doormat, of playing to the female stereotype that is always there for everyone else and never there for ourselves. We often fall into traps of doing the tasks our teams left over at the end of the week rather than pushing back and encouraging them to complete on time. All that said, the experience of ADHD and menopause can be one of catharsis. Businesses, occupational health practitioners, human resources teams and managers are putting in place [policies](https://www.nasuwt.org.uk/static/uploaded/3083b5c2-7a39-4c39-bca77421e080305d.pdf) that recognise the destabilizing impact of menopause and act supportively.
