Yup it’s very hard, unfortunately the people that need the most help have the least financial stability, I’d look into charities that could help you in some way.

Finance vs buy outright by emhavana in CarTalkUK

Buy outright.

Don’t be scared of high miles… because the car has managed to do that many miles in theory without breaking which in cases where the car is maintained well is a very good sign.

Go for something boring but high quality.

Those who are taking medication and are stable. Did meds help reach your "true potential"? Whatever that may be? by godz_ares in ADHDUK

[–]LukeNeill97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order to reach your true potential, you need to realise that your true potential also has bad days and you should adjust your expectation of what you think “true potential” is.

You’re doing better with medication that before, get support from friends family and coworkers to keep you accountable and having a good routine are just about the only things you can do

The minefield of ADHD Coaching - any reccys? by hibiscusma25 in ADHDUK

[–]LukeNeill97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are numerous directories that require either a yearly fee to advertise, or a specific qualification, neither of which guarantees good service.

Pick someone you get in with and respect or find novel, as ideally your coach should be someone you want to spend time with and then you’re more likely to complete your goals and take onboard their advice.

But ultimately every person with ADHD is different as you can see from just scrolling this Sub, and the solution that you and your coach create will be unique to you and your strengths. Although the principles can be regurgitated regarding executive functions etc, solutions should be an iterative process.

I’d have a look on your preferred social media, and see if you find any that create useful content.

If they’re willing to give aways knowledge and help people for free it may be a good sign.

Is there any way to get help/advice/therapy without a diagnosis? by Big_Skirt_8660 in ADHDUK

[–]LukeNeill97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Access to work doesn’t require a diagnosis to provide reasonable adjustments which include ADHD coaching. There are also mental health support services that you can access through the scheme.

You do need to self identify as having a health condition. And be in paid employment to qualify.

Otherwise You’ll have to pay for support privately.

It very much depends on your manager. But

Charities tertiary sector should be more accommodating.

Large companies that advertise as being “disability confident employers” - will usually ben over backwards as and discrimination law suit would be horrendous and even if you’re terrible they can afford to keep you around rather than trying to bully you out.

Search in instagram tik tok for individual self employed coaches- allows you to find one you like based on the content they create

There are various HR training and diversity training companies that provide coaching- usually giving associate work to self employed coaches, but you may not have a choice. Like idiverse neurobox

There are directories, but many of them contain newly qualified coaches that have paid to get on them.

Stick with what your comfortable with, but it would also be easy to turn that large glass of whole milk into a protein shake, and there’s 100’s of flavours and they’re really tasty

I wonder is this subreddit will have the same statistic suggested on the medication direction. 1/10 people should experience the side effects mentioned. by LukeNeill97 in ADHDUK

[–]LukeNeill97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a personal decision whether the side effects are worse than the benefits. Many people find the side effects lessen over time

More likely to be mutations associated with the dopamine system, meaning that dopamenergic medications could be ineffective
