Hi Everyone. I enjoyed everything I have read here. I was diagnosed in 2008 at 40 years old and it wasn’t until 2016 that I got serious about trying to live with my ADD. I have new meds, Adderall and Guanfacine, that work great.

However, I know that I enjoy working in the construction industry. I am a Civil Engineering Technologist that runs construction equipment and has a Truck Driving Class 1A license too.

My main problem is maintaining long term employment. My self esteem and self confidence is shot because I have not been able to stay at a job very long. My goal is to stay with the same employer past the 2 year mark. But now when I am trying new jobs and there are the nagging thoughts; Did I made the right choice for the present job?, If something better comes along do I take it?, Do I stick with the present job to gain the job stability?, on and on.

Any other comments would be greatly appreciated.
