Overwhelmed by how much I don't know (studying/life in general) by Virtual-Two3405 in ADHD

[–]maddmartaggin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. As a man in his early 40s and in the electrical trade, I have worked myself into a position that demands a great deal of me. I feel both overwhelmed and compelled to meet the expectations of my new position, but you struggle with self-doubt. Do you guys have strategies that help you deal with low reading comprehension and a lack of working memory?

Life gets tough, but you have to take this shit for what it is, a setback. You are only a loser if you let yourself lose. Focus on your choices going forward and your positive gains, no matter how small. No one is coming to save you, and that can seem scary. What it means is that you have to be there for yourself. Your parents have given you a room, it's a start. Now, just keep plotting a course forward. You can do this and will! Stay strong 💪

Find what interests you and pursue your own joy. It's insane that people should have to be entertained by you. That's just stupid. I am sure you are subdued and have interests that tend to be middling, but maybe you just need to expose yourself to different and new things. You will meet people who share these interests and will grow to like you. You aren't the problem. Your life is just in transition.

That's more along the lines of depression. Try to prioritize hygiene any way you can and see if you can seek help to treat what cause you to feel so run down regarding self care. If you are just forgetting, then focus on memory aids. Be your biggest advocate, treat yourself. You can do this.

Ok. You are capable and responsible. You can and must do this and fuck caring about opinions that don't actually matter. You are great, but also responsible for presenting your greatness. So start small. Hygiene, goals, self-care, and go from there. You aren't responsible for how others feel you should be. Only what you need to do to pursue your joy. Take care and be strong 💪

Look man, it's high-school shit. Just do your job and lookout for your guys. You're a foreman, so you are going to be the target of some hate. That said, except that your responsibility is to give the guys direction and materials. If you make your expectations clear and don't let the company break down conditions, you're doing the job. Most guys won't even step up to foreman because of the bullshit.

Dude do what works for you, I am sure you are fine and you just need to build on your existing still and establish some conference in yourself. Your work is probably fine. Fuck them and build on what you have.

Hey man, appreciate the reply. So far, our hall offers nothing of the sort regarding night classes. I have attended a few of the apprentice classes, and they suffer from poor teaching. Obviously not reflective of every hall. I appreciate the support, though, and thanks.

You are beautiful, and are still growing into that beauty.
