It’s getting worse

Questions/Advice

Hello everyone. I’m a 25m, I tried to make this post before and I guess I broke a rule but never got a message about what rule I broke. Anyways, right now my predicament isn’t great. I’m about to be homeless with my gf 2 cats and dog, and I feel it’s because of me.

I can’t hold a job to save my life because of time blindness and no matter what system I had in place to be able to show up to work on time or even having the energy to go to work some days due to exhaustion. (even having switched from morning to evening, days to overnights, etc) I’ve done stickers, reminders, alarms, everything. And still, nothing seems to work.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and have suffered with it my whole life, recently I can’t remember where I put something down even if it was right in front of me, can’t remember topics of conversation very well, and overall I’m extremely stressed and depressed which isn’t helping anything at all.

I don’t know what my next steps are. Getting help with ADHD, it feels like there’s a blockage. I want to get help with this, I feel like I can’t function correctly anymore due to my extremely high stress levels, making it almost impossible for me to actually just get motivation for it.

My family just keeps telling me “stop calling off, show up on time” like it isn’t something to desperately want to fix.

Any advice would be helpful.
