Hi @Portia_RO thanks for that link! it will be cool if I get an ADHD diagnosis because I'll be able to check out groups like that, and find out about organisations and resources that could help me. So that's another reason it will be really awesome to put an official label to the problem. wow, I really never thought this was going to happen for me... I thought I was just always going to be battling to improve my mood and stop worrying. Like forever making incremental progress trying to get 'happier' while wondering why life still feels so impossible, painful and stressful, and just telling myself I must not be trying hard enough, or I must be imagining it, or I must be too weak to handle life. Now it makes so much sense to me why treatment for anxiety and depression never seemed to help enough. It has definitely helped, but I would beat myself up because it didn't feel like 'enough' and I thought it was my fault.
Anyway, that is a really cool question you have asked me. One thing I am trying to do is replace all my clothes that I can't stand wearing because of sensory issues that I used to force myself to wear, because I thought 'everyone else' just suffered through itchy painful clothes because we're adults now and shouldn't let those things bother us. lol. I also wish I could live totally alone but have trusted loved ones come to check on me and help me with certain things, like building furniture (TOO MANY INSTRUCTIONS) and cooking together. And I wish I could take a quick break at work whenever I want to go somewhere quiet and relaxing. That's all I can think of for now.
