I am in Australia, and I had an NDIS cleaner. she used to come once a week and my house was mostly pretty clean. I lost her, and now I have to apparently do the cleaning myself. I really am incapable of doing it. They told me that I am physically capable of doing it, so i have to do it. I can’t do it. My house is a fucking mess. stupid government. Anyone have any suggestions? Like to get over the executive dysfunction crap? I tried habitica, and it worked for a short while, but now I’m back to chronic ED.

thanks.

    Anyone who looks at crippling executive dysfunction and goes nah that’s not ADHD or treatable with the stimulant meds prescribed specifically for that struggle to millions of people to great success regardless of any arbitrary ADHD label is a bad doctor and should absolutely be ignored in favor of a second opinion.

      thanks for the reassurance. I’m on welfare, so until the GPs can do adhd assessments (which is happening, but i have no idea when), or i win the lotto, a second opinion is not gonna happen. Hopefully GPs can do it very soon, because then it will be either free, or very low cost. I just paid $1600 for a no to ADHD. I’m wrecked financially.

        That sucks and sorry that happened to you but keep advocating for yourself and asking about the GP assessments as that will likely be a big break for you. At the same time, meds are no magic bullet so everything you have already tried will also still likely be part of a medicated future, you will just get better at making use of and sticking to them to keep you in check.
