@Nammu You've been in my thoughts a lot recently. I hope the Section 8 stuff goes smoothly, I know how much frustration government programs can give.

It's absolutely gorgeous out and I took full advantage and walked two miles at the walking track and listened to podcast on mental health. As part of my new-found gun-ho atttitude, I also now am a member of DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) and ADDA (Attention Deficit Disorder Association). Both offer great resources and peer-support online. ADDA is specifically for adults with ADHD, and has existed a very long time hence why their name doesn't include the H(yperactivity) and I'm enjoying their webinars! What I do love about these resources is they don't exist in a vacuum-- ADHD, for example, has a high rate of comorbidities, including Bipolar disorder. There are articles specifically about treatments, strategies, and awareness for BOTH conditions. Borderline Personality Disorder and ADHD overlap in symptomology too-- especially impulsivity and mood regulation. There are articles on how to deal with that. It's more holistic and understanding that people struggle in a organic way -- it's not so black and white where one disorder begins and another ends when it comes to how we EXPERIENCE them. Symptoms can be bolstered because of them, or even less seen because of them.

I realize I require a lot of support, but I'm utilizing everything I have to be the best version of me I can be.
