    Could Katie really not ask a family member or close friend for help with this?

    If she gets to it or even knows about it.

    No, seriously, that’s a real problem with mental dysfunctional disorders. There are lot’s of institutions/help groups (at least here) that are happy to help. But you don’t know what you should know.

      And people with ADHD will procrastinate getting help even though they may want it. A person who is finally getting seen will often say something like “I’ve been meaning to do this for years”. ADHD just be like that.

        Also time blindness. A simple “wow, this is a lot all at once. I’ll get to this when I can devote time to focus on it” turns into “I meant to do this a year ago!” real quick.

        Had to go off meds cause couldn’t get them. Went back to the same place later thinking it was a couple months. It was 2 years.
