Hi! My best friend and I live in Honolulu in the apartment I got while in college. I came here for school but he is from here and lived at home in Aiea.

Now that I've graduated, my current place is just not affordable (I got a lot of scholarships that covered housing) and we really want to move. But it is so hard to find an apartment.

We both make about 2k/mo each and we dont even care if we stay in a studio (we live in one currently).

The main problem is just finding a place that is 1.9k/mo including utilities that also doesnt require like a 700+ credit score. He was not taught a lot about financial literacy and I come from a complicated family situation that has affected my credit so now we are both in a situation that feels impossible to get out of.

We pretty much only have each other and just feel like we are drowning a little. Does anyone know of any apartments or places to look for apartments that will actually work with us?

Im 22 years old and I am currently an ESL instructor and mainly teach adults. I just graduated so this is what I mostly do for work. I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD back when I was 20 and it made so much sense and I've been able to get on meds and do therapy to help. But now I am so hyper-aware of how my ADHD affects my performance and my ability to work on literally anything. I have thought about getting accommodations at my job. But I am nervous about disclosing to my principal/vice principal. I am already new and quite young and I don't want this held against me.

I have another part time job at a cafe where I was very open and honest about my ADHD. But thats because every employee except maybe 2 has ADHD so its a part of all of our lives. I dont know if it would be worth disclosing at my teaching job because I dont know if there is even much my boss can offer to help me.

I struggle a lot with deadlines, memory, and organization. I try a lot to do things to help myself in the future, but I just feel like I'm failing. I have also considered just trying to file for disability and not having as many jobs (I have two and do freelance work on the side). At this point, I am just feeling lost and am also losing motivation for all work in general because of this. Anyone with insight or ideas would be super helpful. Thanks!!

TLDR: I have pretty intense ADD and it makes working any job so difficult. I work for the DOE and thought about disclosing. Should I?
