Second Appointment with the Bankruptcy Attorney: A Hard Morning
Second Appointment with the Bankruptcy Attorney: A Hard Morning
This morning was one of those days where just showing up felt like a battle. I want to share what happened, not because it was perfect, but because it was real.
So I had my second appointment with the bankruptcy attorney today at 8:30 AM. Honestly, it was rough from the start. It was really hard to understand what they were saying, and my mom couldn’t come with me this time. That sucked big time. Having her there helps ground me, and without that support, I felt like I was trying to keep my head above water in a storm.
At one point, the lady helping me file finally realized I was struggling. She asked what was wrong, so I handed her the packet I had made ahead of time. It explains that I’m autistic and what accommodations I might need—like slowing down, repeating things, or letting me write instead of talk. After that, it got a little easier, but it still wasn’t great. I still really needed my mom there to help keep me calm and focused.
The meeting itself felt like a blur. The legal language, the pressure, and the fear of messing something up—it all stacked up fast. I wasn’t in a good place today at all. It left me drained, anxious, and wishing this whole bankruptcy process was over already.
But here’s why I’m sharing this: being autistic and dealing with big adult stuff like bankruptcy is hard, and no one really talks about it. Writing it out helps me remember that I did get through it—even if it didn’t feel perfect. And maybe it helps someone else feel less alone if they’re going through something big and scary too.
We don’t always have to do things perfectly. Sometimes it’s enough to just show up, do the hard thing, and keep going.
