So glad you're in a better place now. This:

Is great advice and lots of people reading this thread are emailing me to say how supported they feel by hearing others' stories. Nice one for sharing.
Recently I was diagnosed with severe ADHD. The struggle finally became too much. Perhaps the effects of the health crisis on my work and finances gave me the final push, I don't know.
My life is so much more enjoyable now I am medicated and have had some very minimal therapy.
In hindsight all the tricks and strictness I forced onto myself to be able to keep up were very unhealthy, unsustainable, and not even that effective. The psych even seemed quite concerned when I did a show and tell.
