My ADHD symptoms have worsened since moving to a new place and quitting full-time work. My community has opportunities, but I don't fit in, and finding a group has been extremely challenging (it didn't help I moved right before Covid). I am friendly with many people but strong connections are lacking. I keep joining clubs, then finding myself overwhelmed by the amount of work, worsening my ADHD symptoms....pretty much the feedback loop you've described here. Thank god for my husband (also neurodivergent) and his job (which helps alleviate his loneliness). Until I was so isolated, I didn't realize I had ADHD, but I've struggled socially my whole life. Thanks so much for the practical advice in improving social interactions.
