Wow! Our situations are very similar, except I’m 45 and was diagnosed 2 or 3 years ago. I am still working as a cashier part time, but I’ve gone back to school. There is a little voice inside my head telling me that it is silly, I’ll be 47 before I graduate, but I tell tbe voice to shut up. I’m going to be 47 anyway, do I want to be 47 with the same job or 47 with a degree and a chance at sonething better? I’m doing my education online. I can work at my own pace and it is going well. I am 16 weeks behind schedule, but they know I have ADHD and they’re not giving me too much of a hard time about it. I would suggest going to an employment centre and asking about career counselling. They can give you personality tests, aptitude tests, and give you the confidence that the career you choose will be one where you can shine. I’m not on medication by the way. Concerta had no effect and my doctor is not keen on anything else, so I’m relying on webinars and such for tips on how to get my brain functioning.
