    if you have ADHD and/or anxiety like me

    Bingo!

    In Australia I’m not even sure if there is a service that could help me - other than applying for an actual disability support worker to help, which my ADHD could probably benefit from, but that’s a whole other paperwork process and it’s frustrating that paperwork is a barrier to getting accommodations and support with completing paperwork!

      Yeah, I hear you! I’m only functional enough to take my ADHD meds because the ADHD meds work and even THAT would probably crumble if I didn’t have someone remind me to renew the subscription when I’m about to run out!

      And yeah, having to do paperwork alone is the bane of my existence! Not only because it’s difficult, but also because it makes me feel like much more dumb than I actually am. 20 years of going undiagnosed was plenty of unnecessarily low self worth, thank you very much! 😂
