I screwed up my postcards to voters. Can I fix them?

Post date: 2024-09-18 04:52:05

So I have AuDHD and I posted here a while ago about what I could do to get out the vote and the general consensus was that writing postcards would be the best fit. But my ADHD screwed up even that simple task. I didn't read the instructions carefully enough and I wrote them in cursive. Today I learned that young people can't read cursive because it's no longer being taught.

Now I'm emotionally dysregulated and I'm fighting flashbacks of my dad verbally abusing me every time I made a mistake, while trying to figure out how to fix it so all those stamps, postcards, and hours haven't been wasted. (I have a screening appointment for ADHD meds today).

Anyway, I thought maybe to fix it I could type the message into a Google Doc, print out multiple copies, cut them, and use a glue stick to paste them onto the cards. Is this acceptable or have I just completely wasted my GOTV "spoons" and materials? I could also steam off the stamps, order new postcards, rewrite them and paste the stamps on with the glue stick...if they would even send me extra postcards, and I don't know that they would.

I feel like a complete and total fuck up and that doing the extra work to make up for being such a loser is what I deserve. Don't worry, I'm going to reach out to a therapist today...not that I haven't been in therapy off and on since my 20s and still need it. FML.
