It sounds like you're pretty skilled at resilience. No doubt it doesn't feel like it, because it sounds like you're far from thriving in life. However, as someone with a fair bit of trauma of my own, I know how hard it can be to simply continue existing.
I'm not going to say some trite shit about how things can get better, because I've been grappling with hopelessness myself a lot lately; just because something can theoretically get better doesn't necessarily mean that it will — especially when the material circumstances of our life are so tied to the opportunities to heal that we have access to. What I will say is that I'm sorry you had to develop such resilience, and that so many of those happier potential futures were stolen from you. It's not fair, and no amount of future happiness can ever change that. However, I hope that some day you are able to discover an accessible future that can be fulfilling for you, because you deserve it. Something that I tell myself when I am very low is that as long as I am alive, there is a non-zero chance that things will improve. It's not much, but sometimes when it hurts too much to hope, it helps to hope for a reason to hope.
For what it's worth, I'm glad you're here. I'm generally miserable lately, and although I know next to nothing of your world, there's enough here that I feel a sense of solidarity with you. I'm not entirely sure whether that makes me feel any better — in some ways it hurts to see other people battling circumstance in the ways you describe. On the other hand, it does make me feel less alone, which bolsters my resolve somewhat. So thank you for being here (where "here" means on this thread, but also existing in this world). Existing is fucking hard under the circumstances you describe, and though it's surely hard to see it this way, your strength in persisting is an achievement to be proud of.

Building trees from LEGO. I've been considered the person to ask about this in the community.

I need to pick this up in my new job role but find it really boring. I am good with creative writing and have a good vocabulary but I just can't seem to be able to make myself write the formal text. Any pointers for me?

Even when it was not addressed to me, I appreciate your thoughtful response. I like to see and read these kinds of thoughtful and supportive comments.

Not really sorry.
I use LibreOffice but I don't think that's the key, it's just different.
I suspect I'm neurodivergent, maybe ASD. When this don't seem how I want them I spend a ridiculous amount of time learning how to make it look right.
I'm very particular about typography.
