I have struggled with maintaining a regular sleep schedule my entire life. Surprise! Diagnosed at 42 with ADHD - it makes sense. I haven't officially been diagnosed with DPSD (my sister who also has AudHD has and we all have the same weird schedule). I usually can get in a good pattern for a while but then it will get thrown off. It happened to me today and I was late for work (2nd time this month). So far it hasn't been an issue and I've used sick time but it is embarrassing to oversleep for work cause your body doesn't align with the normal world's work schedule. Has anyone figured out how to contend with this or had any accommodations at work due to ADHD/DPSD? I'm kind of at a loss and it just feels embarrassing. Any insight would be great.

My attorney is working on filing for me this month but I'm honestly nervous. I was completely debt free in 2021, purchased a condo in a cooperative, and the ish hit the fan (I have a reality tv show worth of drama I could share) $25k of attorney debt later and here I am at bankruptcy. Add to that a 6-month stint of unemployment (technically underemployment cause I worked throughout till I found gainful employment), and of course, my body started acting up while unemployed so I had medical bills. I wasn't behind on any payments, but realized I was robbing Peter to pay Paul and I wasn't going to make it out. I met with my attorney last month who said it would be good to file this month. Said I should stop paying everything except current expenses and it should be fine. As I've stopped paying for a month, I cannot believe how much extra money I have. It feels so good to not be struggling every month and if I need something, like I had to buy a thing to fix my car AC the other day, I was like, "Oh! I can do that now!" I feel like I'm living in luxury! But I'm nervous that I feel like I now have TOO much after my paychecks. I'm not a person who goes out to eat a lot or anything (I've never really had the means so I've always been pretty minimalist and this is the first time I've earned as much as I do). Should it make me nervous that I feel like I have so much extra money after bills? Should I be concerned for my bankruptcy?
