£1000. I could pay for my entire ADHD treatment programme from start to finish, without having to wait YEARS in a waiting list for the free treatment. It would absolutely change literally everything in my entire life, giving me a life instead of circling the drain waiting to die.
But I’ll never be able to save that kind of money, I’m an idiot and my ADHD is crippling.
I considered gofundme, but it’s already full of people who need money for ADHD treatment, and I don’t want to drown them out with yet another plea, you know?
If you’re already diagnosed then go through the NHS. I went private for my diagnosis then took the results to my GP who referred me for treatment almost immediately. The diagnosis was the most expensive part for me. (£1200)
I’m not sure about the requirements that NHS has but a potentially cheaper way of doing it is having a psychologist run a few tests out of the DSM 5 and doing a report about it. Once you’re in the door with funding you can use that for a full specialist diagnosis instead.
Again, not sure if that’ll work with NHS and if it will it’ll take some research on their behalf to make it happen but that’s how I got around the same requirements for our local system without paying though the arse for a specialist.
It’s really sad that wherever you live this is the case. A thousand bucks is nothing to most well off societies compared to the benefit that treatment for your condition has in helping you become a more productive member of society.
Better make that $100 trillion (a rough estimate of the world economy’s nominal value) to make sure you don’t cripple our whole civilisation, as it would allow you to pay for basically every single company on the planet, all of which would suddenly have to invest a lot of money to move at least some of their IT infrastructure over to a GNU/Linux equivalent, much of which may not even exist yet and would have to be built from scratch.
Fuck that shit. I’ll release all Microsoft code under GPL so people can figure their own shit out. As for people who built their business on Azure? The will reap what they sowed.
Make me your king, and I will take us to the GNU-Slash-Linux holy land.
Probably £100k. £80k would be a huge help though. Would buy the house we are living in outright, that our landlord has been selling for over a year, ans the extra 20k would pay off our debt and give a few house repairs.
I love this house, I’m not ready to leave if someone buys it for themselves or if our landlord kicks us out before then.
However much for a house, so at least 750k, but probably more like 1.2 million if you want to home that is near a rail station. I’m not moving back to a rural state that hates me and people like me.
$300. I am on disability so my income is tiny. I’ve just moved into a shitty old house with a bunch of strangers and still spend more than half my income on rent, but I’m finally not losing money every month. $300 would give me just enough buffer to put my head above water and keep it there.
