New here, severely struggling

I am in need of significant assistance. I'm struggling to determine where to begin, as I'm experiencing considerable memory problems. Creating lists is ineffective, as I consistently forget to review them. I also have difficulty prioritizing tasks, which leads to chronic procrastination. While Vyvanse has improved my focus, I continue to experience substantial challenges with daily functioning. I lack a support network; I have no friends, and I am not in contact with my family. My immediate family consists of my wife, our four children, and myself, and we all have ADHD. My wife appears to manage her symptoms more effectively, but her suggested strategies are not helpful for me. She often attributes my difficulties to laziness or negativity, which is inaccurate. I have attempted to locate local support groups, but have been unsuccessful. I am desperate for a change in my life, as I cannot continue in my current state
