Reply To: What's so wrong with what I'm doing?

@robynshnobyn, you should get email notifications whenever someone responds with your name and puts the @ in front of it. But not everyone does that, so it’s best to check once in awhile. Maybe you have already figured that out.

@distractedcpa, Welcome to the forums. Thanks for signing up. 🙂

Your  response is very well written. Short and to the point (unlike mine). And some excellent advice there. I may use some of it myself. I am actually in pretty close to the same situation as robynshobyn right now, except I’m trying to decide what to do with the second half of my life.  Going to college is one thing I have been considering. Doing it the way you suggest, one course at a time, might be a good way to go. That way I don’t have to commit a huge amount of time and money to something that may not work out in the end. I could try out 2 or 3 different things to see what fits. And hopefully be able to work and actually have an income at the same time.

@nicknite I know exactly what you mean. My friends don’t even bother with me anymore. They all have careers/kids and have travelled all over the world.  Meanwhile, I’m still pretty much exactly where I was when we graduated from high school.

I recently came to the same conclusion, that I got where I am by trying to be “normal” my whole life. I need to take a different approach to life, learn how to work with my ADHD instead of fighting it. It’s hard to get my thinking switched around though. I still beat myself up for being stupid and lazy screwing up constantly. And I still keep trying to do things in ways that I know don’t work. But you have inspired me to keep trying. 🙂
