Too much to think about

Hi all! I have GAD/depression, OCD, and ADHD. My husband surprised me with divorce August 22, and today we just finished mediation. I do not miss him. He’s a good guy, but I no longer respect him. I have since had to move in with a friend temporarily. I cannot have my emotional support dog at the place I am staying because of the carpet. I also work a desk job and I am exhausted by the time I get home because of trying so hard with my ADHD. I like to think of myself as an independent person, but right now I feel very alone and kinda scared. I am a social person, but I don’t have any friends that I hang out with. I’d rather hang with guys anyway. I was diagnosed with my conditions during my marriage and my husband was very patient with me. My worry is in dating....is there someone out there who is tolerant, patient, and kind as my ex? I have ADHD quirks....I talk a lot, am on the go, get upset over little things, etc. Also I need to find a place for my dog and I on a small income. I’m overwhelmed, but I do feel alone.

You are so brave and I admire your courage. Not being afraid is not an accomplishment, being afraid and doing what you fear, now that is an accomplishment. I am most sorry about your dog . Carpet before dog? Shame, I say. I am glad you have found a place, I imagine it is hard to give up your own. Dating? Glad you are looking ahead. You should be. There is some nice man for you , out there, somewhere. Enjoy looking. You sound lovely and I bet you will be snapped right up. I think you have some exciting times ahead of you my friend. Pam

I had no where else to go, I had to move here without my dog. I hate that I don’t have her, but hubby has her and I’m the mediation agreement it states I can have her back when I get a different place. Besides I only live 20 min away so I can still see her

It’s a melting pot of disorders out there. Lol. Some won’t want to deal with it others will. Present yourself person first talk about your disorders once you get to know them. Then they see you first.
