Hi guys,
I'm new here, so hi
I have recently been diagnosed with adult inattentive type ADHD.
I am on the waiting list, they say, for meds. Been waiting around 6 months. I really don't want to take meds, but i am willing to as an experiment.
I have been refused PIP and I'm waiting for my medical assessment for Universal Credit.
I have been looking for a support group or an ADHD coach in South Wales, but there doesn't seem to be any.
I am really at my wits end and am really struggling with a lot of practical things in my life. My worst thing is procrastination. I have so many things I need to do, but I am constantly putting them off. I am in deep trouble with my debts, bills and although I feel able, I fail to do jobs I need to do.
I tell myself that I will definitely do something tomorrow, but when it gets to it, anxiety gets the better of me and I put it off.
I am receiving some help regarding my debts, but I am constantly pissing the people off who are helping me by forgetting stuff or failing to reply to emails etc.
I feel like a failure, which gets worse with every new situation I mess up. I feel so lazy, but I know deep down that I'm not. People don't understand.
I know I'm not lazy, as when I get going I am over the top in the other direction. I am a perfectionist and once I get started doing something, I won't stop until it's done.
Anyway, I don't want to waffle on here and bore you, so I'm just asking if anyone has any knowledge of support in SW Wales (Swansea/Carmarthenshire).
Thanks
