Huge transitions in my life make this more challenging. As happens for many of us, moving to a new state w new doctors makesthis harder. Work, then what job since I’m older and seem to be beaten out all the time in the field I have a masters in by younger more tech savvy Spanish speaking applicants. My life partners life threatening health issues can easily suck up much of my life. Start a business? Takes about a year to be making decent money. Tried to retrain but my disorder makes certain jobs unrealistic because when I’m very stressed outI experience confusion from my disorder. I am very fortunate that I am old enuf to be pulling 3 retirements, butI need the structure of a job to feel well and I really do need more savings for care when I’m old. Very expensive here in US.
No I have not received much help from 15 min pdoc sessions. I find them worse than unhelpful. Damaging sometimes. My current board certified doc says things that just aren’t true. (U mite have ADHD—that’s nonsense and thanks for upsetting me) Can u imagine trying to treat a patient w a complicated disorder in 15 minute sessions?
