Who was it again who claimed that ADHD medication would be possibly addictive when, probably most, ADHD people need to remind themselves to take them?

…is hard work…

…but hopefully all worth it…

As I’ve recently shared with you all here, I’m trying to get some help. For a long time, I’ve tried to make it on my own. And, after many hard struggles, I have had to concede… I had to admit to myself, and then to others, that I wasn’t, and am not, able to get it all done on my own. 😔 A good online friend told me that we’re not used to make it on our own, that we always need some form of support. But, getting that support as a NeuroSpicy 🌶️ person, it’s even more challenging (and maybe also more important).

And, what my friend wrote to me, he was so right. Getting specialized support when dealing with different diagnosis and struggles, is very hard. There are support options for the “basic things”, like there is support for learning to deal with trauma. And there is some sort of support of learning to cope best with a neurodivergeant brain. But! Struggling with CPTSD, while being ND, that’s a whole different thing! So, it needs even more specialized support. Which means it’s a lot harder to obtain. Which is what I am trying to do. But I have to say, I was hoping for more professional support, because the GP knows I struggle with communication, and I can’t really do phone calls, but now I have to reach out to a place that could maybe help me (they’re not even sure on that), and I have to find out if they could help me… So yeah, that’s not something I’m good at, and could also need help with…

Which I am also working on. A dear friend helped me out by calling to the city’s support department, as they could only be reached by phone. I have set up an introduction appointment with someone from that department by email. And, going from there, hopefully they can find me a buddy. Someone to support me every now and then with making phone calls, dealing with post/mail, and hopefully I can ask them about some small chores as well…

It’s been hard for me to accept that I should get over my pride, and that I needed to start reaching out for help. But, in the end, I did it. Part of me does feel bummed that it’s so hard to get the help you need… When you’re struggling already, when you’re that far down that you even accept and acknowledge that asking for help is a necessity, it should be easier to then obtain the help… When you’re already so low, when you’re scared of slipping off even further, you should not need to use the bit of energy you have left to find the help you so desperately need. You should start to receive the help from the moment you ask, they should support you with acquiring that much needed help. I know that health care is under pressure. But part of me wonders, if it would be better of people would get the support from the moment they ask. Now, it’s so hard to actually get the help you need, it’s so easy to slip down even further, making it impossible for you to actually get that help… If that makes sense… 🤔

But, I am working on it. And I hope that I will be successful, in the end. I also hope that, if I should be able to acquire that help, that it will help me to get my things back on track again… That life will become a bit easier to deal with, so that I’ll have more spoons left to make some real progress again. 😊

It’s a long road, it’s challenging, and sometimes (almost) too difficult to deal with… But, as I said/wrote, I really hope that I will be successful in the end. And that it will be what I needed to start feeling better again… Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 🍀.

To be continued…

A relaxed character with short rainbow hair, large glittery wings, and glasses lies on a couch in purple camouflage pajamas and fluffy sheep slippers, smiling gently. The wall behind features framed photos of the character and a dog. On a sparkling coffee table in the foreground are a laptop, a tablet, a phone, a can of sugar-free energy drink, and four colorful lit candles.
