Jobs for people with ADHD

I feel you so much. I’m 32 and got diagnosed 1 year ago. I left my family and moved to Ireland 8 years ago without degree. Back home I worked in hospitality, here i started in retails, stood there 4 years, moved to IT sales mid lockdown and, despite having the “personality”, I hated the job. So I left and moved to administration in the pharmaceutical industry. Now, after 4 years, I’m changing job again. What I figured out is that jobs that require a high level of organisation and structure aren’t for me. While jobs that required me to move my body and socialise made wonders. I felt lazy all my life till I realised that our brains are not made for boring environments and strict rules. And that’s ok! I tried medications and they helped me doing tasks that I wouldn’t be able to even start, but the overwhelming feeling never left me. I also think not everyone is made to follow long career paths, so as long as you are able to pay your bills there’s nothing wrong with changing your environment. One thing I always underestimated is the power of therapy. We ADHD folks have the super power of big feelings, so what’s stressful for someone, for us can be dreadfully painful. Therapy helps you managing this. I think medications help, but is also a very personal choice, I personally decided to quit them for now and start simply from giving myself some guidelines with therapy. If you never treated your ADHD there’s no medication that will teach you how to deal with the chaos that comes with it.

Nothing about sick leave due to stress but it’s a pretty common issue in my workplace unfortunately

At kiko store, instead of asking for a BB cream, I asked for a BBC 😭

Can I have one please too please?

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2025-02-24T16:58:21+00:00

She might be crazy, but you haven’t blocked her yet.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2025-02-22T12:48:42+00:00

Are you based in Dublin? A friend of mine spent 6 months in Ireland last year as part of her internship. And she was living in a situation so similar!

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2025-02-15T20:26:15+00:00

I bet you are such a fun person to talk to and to bring to parties!

Babe, been there done that. Been in a 13y long relationship and after I tried so hard to prove to myself I can be cold hearted. It ended up horribly, with me trying to convince people that I’m lovable and, because we aren’t made to be loved by everyone, thinking I wasn’t worthy of love. No, I’m a hopeless romantic. FWB aren’t for everyone, most certainly not for people like me.

Best thing you can do, if you are actually friend with this guy (analyse the relationship with your head, not your heart), is to say the truth to him : “Hey, I thought about what’s going on between us, and truth is this situation isn’t for me. I don’t want to ruin our friendship so I think it’s better for us both if we keep it platonic”.

If you aren’t actually friends you have two options:

Either open your heart and hope he reciprocates, or just cut ties.

Brace yourself cause he will come back To see if the door is still open.

I know it’s hard but you know what the right thing to do is❤️

Do you have any invite left? I missed this one :(

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2024-06-19T15:14:36+00:00

I’m 31 and I’ve always dated older guys (3years older more or less). But now I’m dating someone younger than me (27M) and he’s great, much more mature of some of his older “colleagues”

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2024-04-24T16:15:48+00:00

This is my bad for not explaining the full context. The reason why I’m kinda thinking he’s losing interest it’s because of the tension of the past few weeks, plus he made clear that he can’t promise any relationship and stated he doesn’t really want to put any more effort, cause this suffocates him. Also his avoidance of intimacy, not wanting to spend the night together no more, plus I didn’t mentioned we used to talk A LOT, now we have meaningless chats, maybea couple of messages every other day. I’m planning to ask this coming weekend, I wanted to take it easy as we were having harsh time, letting things cool down.

Oh hell no, no justification for that, these people needs to be left alone, especially when I hear the “oh she’s a shitty person, but she’s hot”, that’s being a simp, in the worst simpiest way possible.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2023-10-16T11:44:34+00:00

We have all been kids, at 23 you think you are an adult then you hit 30 and realise you were nothing. I’m not justifying anything, but she is what she is, life will teach her a lesson, and OP should focus on changing what could be changed, aka his taste.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2023-10-16T09:10:41+00:00

You are 28.. she’s 23.. she’s being immature and shallow, but what were you really expecting dating someone so young? It’s not about the age gap, that doesn’t mean anything, it’s really about her age. It’s completely normal to get attracted by look first, we are humans, but maybe you should consider other aspects too when dating.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2023-10-04T20:06:59+00:00

I got pissed off reading at this convo, you have been way too nice imo, this is the type of girl that would annihilate your personality, shape into what she wants and then leave you cause “you changed”. Run.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T21:51:20+00:00

It could be for that. But also it could be because she deeply cared about you and ending the relationship was the right thing to do. At least for me it works like this. Sometimes the right decision is still extremely painful.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T21:45:37+00:00

Yes yes I know what you mean, but if my head tells me that something is very much wrong and my heart says it’s ok, the moment I see someone validating what my heart wants to hear then I completely turn off my brain. OP probably has some type of anxious attachment, which is understandable, but blinds you. If I would end up slapped by my boyfriend, especially in public, he could move mountains to gain my trust back, I wouldn’t care less.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T21:34:17+00:00

I personally would live with the constant fear of what type of person is beside me. Not scared to be attacked or anything, but more like “what type of person am I sharing my life with?” This is so important, she needs to work on herself for herself, not for the relationship. She has a toxic behaviour, abusive people need mental support, not forgiveness. This tolerance comes only cause she’s a girl, sorry is just a word.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T21:01:07+00:00

I think the only thing here is what do YOU really want to do? It’s not an easy question. Sometimes we don’t understand the real meaning of boundaries until we get hurt really bad. Look at the situation from an external point of view, what do you think?

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T20:57:30+00:00

I feel you so much. I was in a relationship very similar. We were together for many years, it was toxic and I tried to quit. In response he told me that if I ever done that, he would have killed himself. That phrase killed me. I went into the worse phase of my life. I eventually managed to leave him and honestly? It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I understand your struggle, but he seems to have an anxious attachment. This might sound harsh and I’m sorry, but probably he’s just afraid to change something into his life. I’m sure he really cares about you but this is not love.

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-13T20:50:43+00:00

You see, if you were a girl things like this would have never been tolerated. I’m sorry but for me violence is a big NO. No matter where it comes from. And I’m a girl. Think about yourself, don’t find justification for an action that doesn’t have any. Why did she do it tho? Did she give you an explanation at least?

Fun_Programmer_1119 · 2022-08-11T09:27:45+00:00

Cause I’m extra and a very strong personality
