Hi fam!! Super excited to share this life update with you: I QUIT MY JOB FOR THE STUPIDEST REASON (or did i?). Honestly, I think you will laugh too. It's just the most adhd moment i can think of. It makes me think about my past work experience. And it make me think of you, think of all of us.
How many time does an adhder quit their jobs for a different stupid reason and got stuck in this endless circle of get a job - love it - hate it - quit again -think "i'm a loser" - get a job again...
I'm not saying changes for not good. Changes are necessary (most of the time), but for adhders (especially the young and just diagnosed ones), we need to admit sometimes our emotions are playing with our brain.
With my new insight from the adhd life coach courses i have been taking. I knew a lot of adhders feel like this is a never ending circle. We deserve happy and stable life just like everyone else. But first...let face our struggle. I hope this video can make you feel seen. You are not alone in this emotion battle.

"I have worked too hard to be this broke." GIRL. SAME. That hit my soul. It's hard. Thanks for being so transparent. It really helps.

Trust me when I tell you you aren't alone and all of the feelings you've shared are also experienced by others including myself. Thank you for sharing

That’s why I want to be honest with it. So less people can feel like they are alone! 🎉❤

That basket analogy is too real!! But I also think it’s part of life and I think that everyone’s struggling in our community in one way or another but will never tell you right! We’re all saving face. There isn’t enough time to have it all, so we have to pick and choose!

Yeah, that basket or picking up one thing and dropping another is exactly what happens. It's so important to balance. It looks like everyone else is doing it so easily. Just keep pressing forward I guess, but one day we have to pick ourselves up and figure out who we really want to be. So much of this resonates.

I get the juggling and picking up one thing and then dropping the other thing. I get it so much!

thank you for sharing. I always feel that decisions i make are somewhat wrong, but when I'm in a better state of mind, they turn out to be quite good and i realize i shouldn't be so hard on myself and should love myself more

The basket thing - we can only hold a few things in our attention. This happened to me all my life.

I don't wanna sound corny or nothing, but this video came at a perfect time in my life. It feels cathartic hearing someone, who is not me, verbalize what I feel and what's going on in my head. It's hard because each year I get older I feel more and more like lost potential as opposed to celebrating getting older and other lifetime events. I always want to do more to prove myself, and then I burn out and am faced with a wave of self-hatred for how "lazy" I'm being. Also, even when try to give yourself some grace, thoughts of whether you're actually neurodivergent/ going through a depressive episode/experiencing the symptoms that it hard to function, or am just making excuses.

@@adhd_alex23I was shocked that they forgot, until I remembered I am the person responsible for payments in my job and already did this too 🙈

Dr K healthygamer on YT said something along the lines of, if you feel angry and wanting to start a fight, don’t act on it. Let that emotion pass. Even after a day or two, you still think (rationally) it’s necessary to address the issue, then by all means do. I think this applies to a lot of emotions, not just anger. Whatever that disturbs me emotionally, I let it pass. If that problem or situation persists after two days, I’d address it.

Hello from Brazil! Your story resonates with mine in a lot of points. It is refreshing to see how you are copying. I am searching for a coach for myself too. I feel extremely bad for forgetting things, which I think leads to me forgetting even more things. Having had a bad leader only increased this feeling... Although I had better ones and more human ones, I still feel I don't deserve the nice things I have and revive the abuse I went trough with her. I need to change that

Ong I feel you. I worked at a job that was did shipping and papers and I would have issues with executive dysfunction. Dropping or picking up things. I also have commitment issues with work but I think it’s cause I need flexibility. I’ve been focusing on doing seasonal work or temporary jobs more. I feel the same way with the basket example you gave which turns out to be common with adhd cause of invalidation of our struggles and Brain. I have been comparing myself too and feeling like everyone was given a handbook on life while I didn’t. I have been exercising to be patient with myself.

That feeling that we want to just run away. I do that, I cancel all contact with others, do the bare minimum, and shrink down only doing the bare minimum to avoid being more of a burden to people sort of.

You are brave for moving in to Canada at 15. Yes I agree working so hard for small pay is a bummer. If you really want to quit try taking unpaid leave (like for week )or say you have family issues or burnout. Glad they took you back and sorted out your pay. Just my opinion. Hope things turn out great for you.

It wasn't that you were replaceable. Pretty much as soon as someone decides that they are out their attitude changes despite their best efforts. They are just bad juju, bad energy for the rest of the staff. I agree with your boss. You're either in or out. Not you specifically, anybody. Stay or go but don't stick around with all your interstitial energy bad vibing the place.
