Looking for an Accountability Buddy

[WonderMusic]

Hello, I'm someone who recently graduated and is trying to get their life on track. I heard about a few tools that might be useful for someone with ADHD and one that appealed to me was the accountability buddy.

I've already determined that I can't really make any meaningful change all on my own (because that's what I've been trying so far), so getting some help makes a lot of sense to me. I already have a therapist, but the accountability thing didn't really work with him; I already have plenty to talk about with him. I have also had bad luck with friends and family, as they're either too busy or don't quite understand what I'm trying to do.

I've heard that it's ideal to have another person with ADHD as your buddy, so I wanted to extend an olive branch and give the community here a chance. Please let me know if you any advice otherwise.

I'm not sure if I could be anyone's buddy, but how's that supposed to work? Accountability in which sense?

Yes yes yes! I have no self control and no one understands that I need someone to push me to stay consistent with anything! If I try to do anything on my own, eventually my ADHD kicks in and takes control of my entire brain and body xD. Then before I know it I have somehow wasted an entire day doing absolutely nothing, which derails my self-esteem.
