I've had a really hard last year. My father passed away suddenly when I was travelling overseas and I had to move back home with no money and no job. I was completely ripped out of the life I was living and dumped into my worst nightmare. I've been through a lot of hard times in my life and have always been able to pull myself back together...not this time.
I struggled on for 10 months trying to rebuild my life, and then I just snapped. Tried to overdose 2 weekends in a row, had to quit my job, have gained heaps of weight, lost most of my friends, blown through all my savings.... I'm currently being assessed for ADHD by a clinical pyschologist who is 99% sure that I will be diagnosed. Has anyone else had a similar journey as me? I've heard it's not that uncommon (particularly for women) for people to only be diagnosed after a massive life change. Has anyone been able to put their lives back together? How did you do it? __________________ Kate // 22 // NZ

Hello there,
I hate that’s you have been suffering. First off “everyone” is different some people do not like socializing. My son is 24 was diagnosed with ADHD in elementary he is a loner. He does work and have a roommate. When I was putting my live back together I started out by going to support groups. It helped me to know that I was not “alone”. At the meetings I attended you don’t have to talk you can just listen. NAMI has meetings throughout the USA I’m not sure about in your country. If not maybe another mental health agency does. I have relocated but started attending a support group I find it helpful. __________________ #SpoonieStrong Spoons are a visual representation used as a unit of measure to quantify how much energy individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses have throughout a given day. 1).
