ADHD ruining my life

[The2023]

Well, still to diagnosed ADHD as waiting for an appointment but still...

I'm sat here in tears after another week of impulsive spending, my head is a mess , my house is too. I have so much to do and I can't get a handle on any of it. I started a house project a few weeks ago and have lost all interest. Keep fucking up at work.

I feel so overwhelmed at the moment and even though I have periods of feeling less like this I always feel like I get back to this place again.

Do you have any help ?
mid there someone who can hold cards

lists help - 10 things a day to do .

I have a teenager with Adhd - sometimes I have to tidy his room it is too overwhelming for him

Sympathies. It look me about 35 years to begin to understand that not everyone lived with the turmoil and chaos that is the inside of my brain. And the impulsive spending too, yep.

Thank you for replying.

DD was diagnosed a few years ago and I think like many that was my lightbulb moment but it's just so tiring. I'd love to get a private diagnosis but can't afford it.

Sometimes I feel like it's getting worse and I'm so envious of people who live with a controlled, even brain function.

Lists do help but then I keep starting new ones and then getting frustrated that I never finish anything.

Honestly life isn't all bad but some days I just really, really feel it and this week has felt like a lot.
