Hi, I’m looking for an audio recording device, possibly with AI that is a wearable and will record up to 10 hours in one go.

What are people using out there?

I’m not sure if this is the correct place but here we go. I have struggled with my mental health for about the last 15 years. No friends currently and minimal dating and social life.

I have discovered over the last 4 years that I am most likely autistic with ADHD. The official diagnosis is $5k which I haven’t got. I also discovered that my parents were somewhat emotionally abusive towards me, belittling my interests as well as choices when it came to friends. My relationship with my parents has significantly improved over the last two years because of identifying this, as well as my mum identifying that here mother, my grandma, was also this way inclined.

I have significantly improved my boundaries around friends, people and work that lead me to be part of some very difficult situations.

I am at a point where I am healing and handling the stressors of life a lot better than I previously had. My job is full time but unfortunately does not give me a particularly stable salary and I’m finding very little opportunity to move on from this place. This is affecting my ability to choose next steps as when my salary is on the low end, I can struggle with food, and buying $20/ 30 takeaway can hurt. So I understand that my workplace is a major factor here.

How are people dealing with wanting to make that next step when it comes to healing, but you just don’t have the opportunity or the ability to do so?

I’m a 34M living in south east Brisbane on my own. I live in my own place and mountain bike, play ice hockey and regularly go to the gym.
