I really don’t want to seem insensitive, but being fired from a job doesn’t shipwreck a career.
Here’s a thought, write a book about what it is like to have ADHD, all the clueless stupid things that one with undiagnosed ADHD does, and the spectrum of feelings of sadness, regret, and grief that is invariably associated with the diagnosis.
Really, people out there who don’t have it, don’t have a clue how it feels realize that your life and potential has been wasted and sabotaged by ADHD.
You’re right, you can’t change the past, and it doesn’t seem to hurt any less, but you’ll get over it, mostly, and move on. The sooner you can do so, and drop the baggage, the better.
Sorry you’re in the boat, but we’re happy to make room for you.
By the way, you’re still a journalists, just one that is presently unemployed. 🙂
