It’s 2 am. I’m up way past my bedtime because of reasons, namely that my brain won’t shut up and I’m feeling overwhelmed.
Recently diagnosed with ADHD and I don’t know what to do about it. Feels like I’ve been breaking any good things in my life, my whole life.
Only thing to give me peace tonight (this morning) is realizing that I am allowed to ask for help. I have two or three points of contact who may prove helpful. My therapist is one.
Depression sucks. ADHD sucks. Unemployment sucks. I have really good things in my life and I know it, intellectually, but I can’t keep them in focus right now.
I’m going to ask for help. Because I said I would.
This post is how I’m gonna keep myself accountable. Xposting to dreamwidth.
If you struggle with depression, ADHD, lack of purpose, lack of self worth, I’d like to hear from you.

Self-diagnosed ADHD here--figured it out after I went into special ed teaching--which meant I was in my early 50s when I finally understood myself. Well, I guess asking my sped colleagues "do you think I have ADHD?" and getting the "well, DUH" response (in a loving manner) isn't exactly self-diagnosis.

The untreated ADHD can lead to all the other stuff. BTDT, still working through it. Hugs.
