Anyways how do you folks handle your happiness with ADHD. If a job pays the bills but doesn’t suit who you are, stresses you out, not compatible with ADHD do you leave? Do you stay?

I am in a situation where my career, librarian, is not particularly suited to being ADHD. That being said, my present position as a solo allows for a greater variety of tasks so the work is not too mundane. I have been doing this for over eleven years now. I usually end up putting in way more hours than I am paid for just to get the work done. Many days are also quite boring which makes doing the work a chore.

I am not sure what else I would do. I tried cooking for a living, but I lack the time co-ordination skills to multitask effectively at that and the pay is quite low.

All I can say is that sometimes you just have to put up with it until an epiphany strikes.
