Not sure what you are taking but I wonder if getting and staying on your meds will help lift you. Adult ADHD can be more destructive when left untreated than a lot of people realize.
As for your dad -- depending on how you feel about the relationship, I would ask him to either contribute to the family (rent, food, whatever) or tell him he needs to find another place to live. It's imperative you set good boundaries for yourself.
Sorry you are struggling. It's a rough time of year, too. I hope things turn around for you real soon!!

You are absolutely right about things being so different without my ADHD medication. I'm on Adderall and when I'm off of it, my ADHD symptoms begin to get out of control and that leads to anxiety and then those lead to insomnia and depressed mood.
I did see a psychiatrist on the 20th and got prescriptions for Adderall for ADHD, Xanax for anxiety, and Ambien for sleep.
I was finally able to fill them today.
I received a voice mail from a pharmacy manager at a local pharmacy requesting an interview. I haven't feel well and I hadn't returned the call yet.
My plans for tomorrow are to call the manager back to schedule the interview for the pharmacy tech position, call and schedule an appointment with the T, and call a Dr.s office for my brother because he's been sick for days.
The ADHD medication is helping me get organized and focused to begin to move forward again.
I told my father that his presence in my house was draining and I told him that his staying here wasn't working out. He said that he was looking for another place and that he'd give me $100 on December 1st towards the electric bill.
I want to thank you all for listening. You have no idea how much it means to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
