Hi it’s Shnookie. I wrote a prior post about starting a new job as part-time
admin asst. what I was ashamed to write
about was my poor hygiene and lack of
self-care which is connected to ADHD.
My boss and job developer brought up these issues today. I started
psych based disability in 12/2019 and it’s ending this week. So when I was offered this job I thought 15 hour week not a lot of money but cash flow coming in. I
was told to take a week off and come back on Tuesday. Six days should give me enough time to start my hygiene regimen. I probably in some ways should not be working, but I have no choice. At least I have a shrink, a social worker, this group and I talked to the people at CHADD to
look at some Webinars. I’m just trying which is very diffficult to break things
Down thru cognitive therapy. It’s draining but I must do this
Virtual hugs 🤗 to everyone

Sounds like a great idea. I do have spiral notebooks. But I I think I should have one dedicated to self care. It’s almost 3 AM hereIn L.A. I’m having incontinence problems which don’t help as well. I’m going to buy
women’s protective underwear. I’ve already gone to a urologist and they me medication
that is suppposed to be 4 overactive bladders. I’m going back for tests and a check up in mid January 2021. Hopefully I l’ll be able to deal with this issue. It’s very uncomfortable 😣.
You're welcome! Remember to take it one step at a time. If you think of everything you have to do you'll overwhelm yourself. This is why a schedule is a great idea. I love your idea of a self-care notebook!Have a great day! Hanukkah is coming up on Dec. 10. Do you do anything special for it?
That is so sweet of U to think of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a joyous holiday where the Jews celebrate 🎉 their freedom in overcoming the Greeks and no longer being slaves. Legend goes there was an oil candle lit in a synagogue for 1 day and it burned for 8 days. !! We eat food like potato pancakes - latkes fry in oil with
SOUR AND applesauce and jelly doughnuts. At parties we sing joyous songs. This year, I might might buy some food from the market and listen to music on You Tube. Hanukkah lasts for 8 days.
Maybe you could make a list of what you need to do each day lists are helpful because they give you a sense of achievement after!set alarm alarm goes off refer to list get tickin
Sounds like a great idea. I already make lists and have notebooks but a notebook dedicated to self care should be a good idea. Thank U for your support. It means the world to me.
I have to learn how to do private messages. If U have an idea it would be a great idea. If I went on federal disability I think I would make only 1000 a month. Since I’m 62 and can file for early social security I would only be able to get $942 a month. I need to see what the maximum amt. I’m also applying 4 senior housing which is difficult to obtain or looking for a room in a house. I need to make enough money to achieve this
Thank U for your warm wishes. Hell or high water, I'll get through this. I live in L.A. and tho stores R still open we're getting close to lockdown stage. I need to care take of things. I'm doing everything they asked of me and will return to work next Tuesday. I'll play it cool and have a legal pad with me at all time. I have a 90 probation time here. At the very least I want to get thru this and find a second job as well. hugs Shnookie
