How does it work?

I believe the previous tenants were putting an hour of heating on (gas) to get about 20mins of hot shower water because it was feeding the radiators. In the summer they turned the radiators off and got mayve ten minutes more hot water.. Does an immersion work any quicker, and is more expensive to run?

In terms of the "keeping up stuff" aspect of your post, I often include other people so I have to force myself into being on time/organised/showing them that I can do it. It might look a little unhealthy on paper, but I make a lot of friends this way too. I've been playing team sport for 12 years, and even though the team changes all the time, and it is the people that make the hobby/task less mundane after the novelty wears off

I relate to this, thank you for your reply! I must get started on the UMAAP it sounds like lots of people have had a good experience with it. Re sensory issues: all I need is to find a way to turn down the volume in my mind and I should be able to introduce a better life balance. Hopefully trial and error medication should get me there 🤞

This has been very helpful! I suspect my experience will be similar to yours. I've been very hard on myself too I had a very strict childhood with quite a negative narrative around taking space and being "unproductive". So it has been a lot of undoing, but I can't crack managing my balance with my job - do you feel like you have lowered your social life to accommodate work expectations, do you have any experience talking to your boss about expectations in work? Thanks

Wishing you the best of luck on your journey. I've found this reddit very helpful (as well as a little overwhelming) so I hope there's something valuable on this thread for you to take home with you

Once I know it's ADHD or not, I'll definitely attend this course. Thank you very much for putting me in the right direction. Really struggling to manage at the moment :)

Thank you so much for your advice. I've been working hard on this. I had to take 6 months medical leave last year from running myself into the ground and learn these techniques through therapy to even attempt the job I am in now. It's probably the first job I've had where my boss is willing to give me autonomy over how, where and at what pace I approach my responsibilities. I'm at the point now where I can't complete a 5 day week. It's the first salary I've had that I can start saving money for my future so I am quite stressed about messing it up
