Left behind, struggling, and fighting lone but I’m NOT GIVING UP

I know this may feel like oversharing, but I need to be honest. I’m picking things up, piece by piece, while dealing with everything life has thrown at me. And part of that includes my own challenges—my hyperactivity, my struggles with AUDHD, and the constant questioning of what that means. If you understand, you understand. And if you don’t, just ask me. Don’t assume.

Right now, I am on the list for JobSeeker’s Allowance and Universal Credit. I am on the list with my doctor. I am on the list to find work. I am applying to every service I can, trying to get back on my feet. But my former company has made things more complicated. I know why. And if you want to know, just ask. But please—don’t make assumptions about what I’m saying here. If something isn’t clear, I’d rather you ask me than misunderstand.

Speaking Up Is Not a Weakness—It’s Courage        

I know that some people will assume things about me after reading this. Some will judge, others will accuse. But let me remind you—at my previous company, they had a brochure saying, “If something is wrong, speak up.” That’s exactly what I am doing. They tell you to speak up when it suits them, but when you actually do, suddenly you’re a problem.

So today, I speak up for myself. Because I am struggling. Because my days are difficult. Because speaking up is not a weakness—it’s courage. The kind of courage that many people don’t have. They will complain about minor inconveniences, but they won’t speak up about their own struggles. They won’t stand up for others. They talk about mental health, well-being, diversity, and inclusion, but in reality, in my workplace, those things didn’t exist. Maybe in some companies, but not where I worked.

And I am not stopping until I receive the proper support as I am feeling disrespected and dismissed,

Fighting This Battle Alone        

A few days ago, I reached out to MIND, one of the leading mental health organizations in England. After hearing my story, they told me exactly what I already knew—I am struggling. I have shared my experience with them, and I have also told them that my doctor is pushing forward my ADHD diagnosis. But beyond that? I have no other support.

That’s why I have to fight this battle alone. And it is what it is.

I can’t just sit back and do nothing. I am standing on my own because I have no other choice.

If you can help, even in the smallest way, thank you. If you can’t, I understand—but please, share this. Maybe someone else can.
