Re: How do I move on?

Honestly, it sounds like you have a few issues outside of the ADHD-related abuse that you’re dealing with. Have you seen anybody to help you address those issues (like the guilt it sounds like you’re experiencing because you escaped some of the abuse that your sisters had to endure)? I’m sorry that you and your siblings had to go through all of that.

But with regard to the work thing: being great at most anything you do is not the same as enjoying what you do.

What type of work gives you the most pleasure and satisfaction? I think you should figure out the answer to that and then pursue it with the kind of laser beam intensity that only an interested ADHDer can muster. In a way, being unemployed already could be a tiny bit of an advantage.

I would love to switch careers and do what I really want to be doing, but since I’m already employed in a job that keeps me very busy, I don’t have time (between working 40-50 hours per week and trying to keep my apartment clean) to do what I really want to be doing. Sometimes I think losing my job would be a blessing in disguise.

I wish you all the best in getting your life sorted out. If you succeed, it will have been worth all the pain. *hugs*
