Love the meme:).
If someone comes to the door, I panic cue to the state of my house. I have frequently ignored people at the door that I'm not expecting. turns out it was a good way of setting boundaries with a very nosy neighbor :). I definitely have ADCD!
My daughter helps with things like grocery shopping, driving me to appointments, etc. She will also do some laundry, and take care of the trash. I get very frustrated when she lets things slide and I can't do it. She shovels in the winter. I still like yard work, but it's getting more difficult. I feel angry when she doesn't help out more, but feel useless when she does take care of things with so little effort. There's also a neighbor who has helped me many times with any mechanical issues that come up.
She's been able to be pretty social, but when the pandemic started, it barely affected me. I was one of the few not complaining about lockdown since I rarely go out:) I am really grateful that she is here and helps me.
I used to be the most organized person in my groups, and I really miss the ability to keep going. One of the things that occurred to me was that I let all of my old routines go when I became unable to work. Restarting new routines has been difficult as I always overestimate my abilities. When I push through, several days of pain and exhaustion follow. My brain feels rattled today, so I hope this isn't' too rambling.
I'm glad to have found this group, as I have been unable to secure any type of counseling. There's a huge list through my insurance company for virtual therapy, but I can't find anyone to help. Either they don't even bother to return my query or they are booked for months. The mental health field seems to be suffering form a huge shortage.
