AuDHD burnout, depression and anxiety

AuDHD burnout, depression and anxiety

Hi all,

I'm a late diagnosed AuDHD woman with a very long history of depression and anxiety.

I had been pushing on for far too long. 100% Sole parent, multiple health issuse, one child needs lots of appointments, full time worker dealing with the passing of my Mum. Crashed into the inevitable heap almost 2 weeks ago. GP gave me 3 weeks off, so I'm trying to find supports, and learn more self care, so I can back to enjoying life again. Currently I work, collapse in a heap, sleep and repeat, time off is spent slothing.

This isn't the life I want for myself and my children. I will get there.

Re: AuDHD burnout, depression and anxiety

hey @Happychick i'm not too sure what you mean by 'not letting you post' (all your posts are visible to the all members on forums - but if you don't tag the person your responding to, they might miss your reply to them). if you don't want assistance with the tagging, that's completely fine - i'll step out the way.

however, i do want to remind you of our community guidelines - especially around posting in a respectful way. i've had to edit your previous post as the phrasing of the sentence came off as unfriendly - i know you're upset, you're absolutely welcome to express that, but please do be mindful of what you say to others and make sure its friendly/respectful.

i can understand it must be frustrating not being able to get into the recovery program. the funding for all postcodes is only available from July 1st, which is why there's a wait. i wish i could make it sooner but it isn't in our control. but please know that we do care about you and this isn't a reflection of you. you are deserving and worthy of support, always.
