    That is quite a big question but there are a few good books that offer advice on all aspects of this:

    Managing ADHD Workbook for Women, Exercises and Strategies to Improve Focus, Motivation, and Confidence - Duan MD, Christy (2022)
    eISBN: 9781638782452

    Women With ADHD, A Life-Changing Guide to Embrace the Hidden Struggles of Living with ADHD – Includes Debunked Myths and 15 Effective Tips to Positively Transform Your Life - Sanders, Roberta (2021)
    (no ISBN listed in book)

    A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD (Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, and Break Through Barriers) - Sari Solden_ Michelle Frank (2019)
    (no ISBN listed in book)

    The queen of distraction, how women with ADHD can conquer chaos, find focus, and get more done - Sari Solden, Matlen, Terry (2014)
    ISBN 9781626250918

    Any approach will need to be considered in relation to the symptoms you experience so rather than offering a quick fix without all the context of your needs then I think the books are the best way forward.

    Thank you for replying. I have the last book and another that I can’t remember. But I’m unable to focus properly at the moment! 

    But will give it another go. Had an awful lot of stuff going on over the last two years, including 4 deaths and the death of my soul mate kitty. It just feels like it’s blow after blow and I can’t get my head above water!

    Do you have access to a therapist? I think they would be the best way to get focussed help at the moment.

    I have explored all avenues which is how I needed up here. 
    I know it sounds like I’m knocking every suggestion, but I have contacted everyone and everything and reached out to anyone who will listen. 

    I called the Samaritans and they advised me to “just think more positively”.
