I’m turning 28 soon, I was diagnosed at 22 with inattentive type. My life has been on a steady decline. I’ve gone from optimistic university student with great prospects, to university dropout holding down normal jobs, to frantically trying to manage a normal life, to becoming completely overwhelmed, multiple attempts on my life, a few grace periods where it seemed like I was getting things under control, to where I am now, unemployed for nearly a year, achieving nothing, no motivation to do anything, sat at home all day everyday waiting for motivation to do something. I’m on a waiting list to get my medication reviewed, another waiting list to do a adhd coping skills course, another waiting list to see a counsellor. I’m just so frustrated at myself for my apparent inability to make positive changes in my life for more than a few days at a time. I don’t know what to do anymore. Where do I start? How do I get out of this mess? I need full time mentoring and all I have access to is six sessions of cbt every 4 months or so. It’s not enough. I just want something to happen that makes it bareable again.

Sorry to hear that travisSupport is really patchy, depending on where you live. If you can get paid work of at least an hour a week, or are self-employed you can get help, including coaching via Access to Work www.gov.uk/access-to-workThere’s general (and possibly useless) counselling available via IAPT, which is called other things depending on where you live. Are there any peer support groups in your area? The only other advice is to get out of the house occasionally. . .have a walk, do some exercise, visit a museum . . .anything to break out of the rut. Are meds helping at all?
