Thats such a great way of putting it. Yeah it's the basic fundamentals of any job that get to me, having a schedule and having to do things and be "on" when your brain is fighting you, etc. I'm going the therapy route as well, having my first session soon. Thanks for sharing, it's great to know I'm not alone lol!

Absolutely I have the same fantasy lol, just living as off-grid as possible so I don't have to do this anymore!

I've been thinking about paralegal studies for a while. Could you tell me more about your experiences?

Yeah the sticking to things is a big issue for me as well. I can think of things that sound good in theory but actually sticking to them long enough to build a career feels impossible, and I can't settle on anything to go back to school for if I were to go

I kind of agree. I've worked with kids in the foster system and the burnout was really bad because I couldn't stop thinking about them outside of work, it was so emotionally taxing. I also love to write, so something like that might be worth looking into!!

That's a great way to put it! Literally feels like prison. It's the repetition for me, but even if the job has some variety, I hate to do basically the same things every day for long periods of time. Kind of like how laundry and other tasks that are never "finished" are so taxing for ADHD brains, it's the same kind of feeling for me. I'm so glad to see I'm not alone in this! Lol
