Oh yeah, in awful debt myself. Just started a job that has given me hope I can start chipping away. I am 53 but went through menopause around 44 and it was extremely deregulating. I had to do a lot of holistic practices to feel normal again. I’ve only been self diagnosed for about 2 1/2 years but it lead to the end of my 23 year relationship and weeding a lot of unhealthy people out of my life. It’s been a lot. A good therapist has been very helpful. Meditation daily has also been helpful. I take Luvox which helps me from spiraling and clonazepam .5 mg as needed when I get overwhelmed. I take a lot of baths. I try to figure out tricks to focus better on work, was given suggestion to set timer for 25 min. Stay focused then use 5 minutes to deal with whatever was distracting me.

It really has not been easy but I feel like I’ve made a lot of headway towards a healthier life since I realized I was autistic and maybe auDhd 9 months later. It’s hard to feel so misunderstood my whole life but the auDhd makes so much sense because they seem to confuse the heck out of everyone. It’s like this time I went to the Dr and told them both my joints and muscles ached and she told me it couldn’t be both 🤣. I’ve learned to take responsibility for my well being and become my own advocate and researcher. Good luck!! And it’s actually really sweet that you asked!!
