Adulting issues

I hate being an adult with AuDHD sometimes (and short). It makes little tasks so difficult. I live on my own so I have limited help. The light in my oven stopped working. At first I just ignored this problem, I couldn't process it as it's not something I've ever had to do before. I slowly worked my way up to googling it and finding out what to do. I found out that there is 2 types of light and that put a pause on my progress again as I didn't immediately know the answer. Tonight I finally decided I should find out what kind of light it is so that I can get the problem sorted. Can I reach the back of my oven so I can unscrew the cover and find out what kind of light it is? No, no I can't. So now what am I supposed to do. I'm not very good at house work stuff and my oven isn't exactly the cleanest so I don't want to ask my parents for help as I will probably get disapproving looks/comments when they see the oven.

I know this is a bit random and a very specific issue but I just find problems like this so exhausting to deal with.

  • I’m sorry - I can relate to finding things like this difficult. I have to try to not panic when I have a practical household problem like this. Can I suggest that you possibly do ask your parents for some help with this? If they give you disapproval about how clean your oven is then try not to take that to heart - parents are often like that! And it might be worth it to get your oven light fixed! There’s no shame in accepting help when you need it :)
