I am in Australia, and I had an NDIS cleaner. she used to come once a week and my house was mostly pretty clean. I lost her, and now I have to apparently do the cleaning myself. I really am incapable of doing it. They told me that I am physically capable of doing it, so i have to do it. I can't do it. My house is a fucking mess. stupid government. Anyone have any suggestions? Like to get over the executive dysfunction crap? I tried habitica, and it worked for a short while, but now I'm back to chronic ED.

thanks.

thanks for the reassurance. I'm on welfare, so until the GPs can do adhd assessments (which is happening, but i have no idea when), or i win the lotto, a second opinion is not gonna happen. Hopefully GPs can do it very soon, because then it will be either free, or very low cost. I just paid $1600 for a no to ADHD. I'm wrecked financially.

    That sucks and sorry that happened to you but keep advocating for yourself and asking about the GP assessments as that will likely be a big break for you. At the same time, meds are no magic bullet so everything you have already tried will also still likely be part of a medicated future, you will just get better at making use of and sticking to them to keep you in check.
