    More plumbing problems costing me more money. Supposedly fixed now. More emails with the lawyer back and forth about legal avenues. Aggravating phone call with customer service over organizing a return. Bad stuff happening at work (not my fault, but a major issue). And it's not even 11am. I woke up anxious and it has not gone away.

    Your story makes me grateful that I was diagnosed at the tender age of 2,5 year.

    Unfortunately that is the expectation is for it to be seen and diagnosed by 12. This is part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) criteria. ADHD is a similar way, so those with adults who were not seen, or their symptoms were not severe enough to warrant further investigation, will struggle because it is considered a "childhood diagnosis" and not fully assessed in adulthood.

    Now, that is slowly changing as understanding of people on the autism spectrum, and with ADHD, are being better understood from a neuroscience point of view. The delays in executive functioning, struggles with inattention or managing emotions, are now being better understood from a brain point of view. But, the diagnostic criteria will be slow to catch up on this part.

    I'm very angry ATM over something that was said about me and it's clouding my judgement on a decision I have to make.

    When my ex was in her car accident she used 25 units of blood in the first three days, so I vowed to donate the same amount back.

    [​IMG]

    Seems appropriate I hit that target the same month I move into my new home and am starting the next phase of my life after nearly 5 years of being in a transitional place. Divorce, covid, fire....

    Brought up a lot of memories too, when I'm already in a rough place thanks to the new house issues.

    Donation #26 though will be freely given.

    Had my first pysch eval and it went pretty well. My mom actually ended talking the person doing it more than I did, since a lot of the stuff that she has noticed that I'm not really aware of it. I am going to be seeing the doctor for an even deeper evaluation now, I just need to hear back about the referal and schedule the appointment.

    You're awesome, bro!

    Excellent! I'm glad your mom went with you.

    Actually it was virtual, so I just had to go get her out of room.

    Excellent.

    Got my appointment with the doctor today, and it's not to March, which is longer than I was hoping to wait, but it could be a lot worse.
    I have a meeting with a case worker tomorrow, he didn't say it when I talked to him the other day, but I'm assuming this is because I accepted their offer their offer to help me find a job during my first assessment.

    Quicker than my area.

    Continuing to look for a job can be a plus when they review your case. It can look like you're not being lazy but due to your limits you are unsuccessful in finding employment.

    I gave up on cleaning the new bathroom when I opened the drawer that was full of hairs. Cleaners came in today, two of them for 90 min. Thought that would be enough time. I was wrong. They got the cabinets and drawers all cleaned so I can unpack, the tub clean (it's white!) and the shower re-done (still needs more scrubbing though) but didn't get a full deep clean done as they ran out of time before the next stop. I was overhearing them talking about how bad it all was and how they're not surprised I had to call people in. About how shitty the former owners must have been to leave the place in this shape, how it was still this bad after the hours I had spent in the bathroom already. Which made me feel better about "wasting money" having cleaners in.

    I'll have to see what the final invoice is to see if I have them in for the rest of the house or not. I've been doing the surface cleaning but the whole place needs a deep scrub. They estimated about 16 hours of cleaning to do the house.

    Certainly can, depending.

    Lots of factors can impact sleep.

    Same, but merely because I'm bored and sleep makes time go faster. I'd sleep during the day if I could, but unfortunately I'm not blessed with that ability.

    Yes. I sleep more when I'm in a depressive episode.

    I have the feeling I'm running out of time
