I Have ADHD I was diagnosed when I was 7 or 8
(I'm 31 This Year).
Work Is very Difficult to hold down and I have
Multiple Failed attempts at Starting Study and never finishing it due to
struggling with work and study requirements, Struggling Financially (I don't
have Family Support), getting distracted and never handing in assessments,
forgetting about classes, or becoming disinterested and distracted so not
completing. it is a very similar story at work, I Have had over 25 different
roles since I was 14. I struggle to maintain relationships even with my family
to the point where they officially disowned me at 17 years old, I have rebuilt
the relationship with my parents to where I can visit kind of regularly but we
can't spend more than a week around each other without some sought of conflict
so I moved to a different state (they are in QLD). I have a partner we have
been together over a year and the major reason for that working out is he has
ADHD as well, but it has not been easy there have been a lot of fights and
conflicts(though we always seem to work through them). I don't have a huge
amount of people I can call friends, maybe four or five total excluding my
partner.
I want to take on study and get a degree and I
don't believe there is any way I could possibly work at the same time. I do
have a treating Psychiatrist who is very good and understand the condition well
and has me on medication (though I believe it is destroying my teeth), I do not
see a psychologist at the moment as I have been to a few and they have never
really helped and I have not really felt comfortable with them(also im, not
quite sure I understand the point of psychology sessions). I am not working
currently, though I am looking for work all the time I have applied for around
100 jobs in June. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety as well and I did a stint in concord mental health Eraring unit on suicide lockdown/watch after my first partner killed himself due to religious and family rejection
At the moment I am Struggling financially I do
have some debts and my Centrelink barely lasts the week let alone the fortnight
even with the COVID supplement.
Please Your help would be fantastic in any way.
If you know of any good advocacy services that would be brilliant as
well
