On Wednesday last week, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced that the government would be extending lockdown for at least another two weeks.

I was in some kind of denial that the lockdown would be wrapping up soon. For the last few weeks my life had been a mess, and I knew I couldn't do it much longer.
Last year I was diagnosed with ADD – attention deficit disorder – at 28 years old.
It was something I'd been thinking about for a while, as the more I learnt about ADD, the more it seemed to explain a lot of things I'd struggled with in the past.
In school, I couldn't pay attention, or retain any information, no matter how hard I tried.
Once I left school and entered the workforce, I found that I could get by better with the flexibility that work provided.
