#ADHD #ADHDtips #ADHDJobs
Ive had 26 jobs. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year at the age of 45. I get bored in jobs easily... I would love to run my own business doing something creative!
I want to run my own tattoo shop but I'm the exact same way
Applying for companies is so stressful, especially when it comes time to putting job history. I don’t even remember all of the jobs that I’ve had let alone their info and dates worked. I end up not even finishing the application. I really like racing but that’s out of the question if you’re broke from years of instability. Went to school to get my professional pilots’ license and they drop the financial aid program. Trained and studied hard to get my Class A CDL because I love driving and found out that almost every company out there treats you like crap and over works you. If you work over 55 hrs normally it just goes to taxes. Other drivers can be crazy and you can’t control weather. Maybe I could start my own mobile mechanic.🤔 I raise my 2 year old daughter currently so it has to be part time. Anyways, good luck everyone!
@@dustysteele5408 most jobs overwork you and treat you like shit!
I had like 20 jobs and having issues still. I got yelled at by a coworker all day long for missing a few little things today and tons of blame on me when he had his issues too. These people have impossible expectations for me. It feels like I need to be perfect around them and it makes me wanna walk out.
@@shawnmendrek3544 yes there are some good people who are empathic. Perfectionist just lack in emotional intelligence and become abusive.
I know what's holding me back.. FEAR OF FAILURE ! I just graduated and need to pay off my debt and im scared of losing the only steady income i have
Me too 😅
I’ve struggled to hold a job down too or succeed at anything in my adult life, after leaving high school with brilliant grades. I’m now on my late 30s. I’ve no idea where it’s gone wrong, but it causes me a lot of pain.
Same here. I want to do well in my job but I always keep making mistakes, the trainings seem to not stick in my head and I am super forgetfull. Sadly I am working in administration and always wondered why I was just not able to achieve what my colleauges would. Its so frustrating.
You are not alone. graduated high school 4.0 with honors. Ended up dropping out of college and bouncing around job to job. Tried to make it as an actor while working on film crews for the last five years and finally threw the towel in on that. Now I'm trying to find a good career for myself but keep second guessing every option that I come up with. I feel like a failure and it hurts, but I believe that I can make it through.
@@evanwilcox82 I feel EXACTLY like this and thought I was alone!! I really wish for all of us to find something at least okay to do for a living 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
“It’s because you haven’t started”
Your description of not being able to hold a job perfectly resonated with me, and is the exact same thing I've been struggling with.
But, gotta be honest here. "Just start your own business! :)" isn't a "tip". Someone searching for ADHD advice is almost definitely not in a position to just start their own business. That's an overwhelmingly complicated project to undertake, and they probably don't have the funds for it if they've been struggling with holding a job.
EXACTLY! EXACTLY!!!!!!!
Start something small I started doing vinted selling clothes just start with something small
Stop complaining and start a business is better
I'm 37 and have worked 100s of jobs. I can get jobs easily and mask it well for a few weeks or months but eventually I leave and go to the next thing. I have been running an ebay store for 4 years but can't get it to be steady income. I spin in circles constantly
Story of my life as well. To a t!
I’m the same and I’m 38 😢
I get it. Am 41 😢
Same 39
Reading these comments scare me because I’m only 22, but ever since 18 I’ve had around 12 jobs. The last job I quit in training to be a receptionist out of anxiety and depression.
Getting bored is least of my problems..what i lack is IQ, comunication skills, problem-solving skills, thinking logically etc
I was fired from the last job due to my incompetence, being a slow learner and making stupid desicions..naive and inpresice
You basically described myself. I mean, people tell I'm very intelligent and I always did good at school, but the low communication skills, the slow learning, the idiotic decisions I've made all my life... it all hits home.
@@reaperluke3518 where u from, what profession do you have, are you married..?
Yessss bra like damn
You seem to write quite well!
Absolutely me. I don't think I'm stupid I just can't focus to learn. Idk maybe I am stupid I don't know what to do at this point. I get to work and it's like my mind tries to focus on everything BUT work. It's a constant fight with my mind and it's exhausting.
I don’t think I’ll ever find something I’m passionate about. Adhd makes everything painfully boring and exhausting. It impossible not to give up because I have no hope for the future
Same I have accepted the FACT that I will he a miserable human...I feel like those grandpas sitting on beaches drunk and cursing at kids
I’m struggling with this, it’s like when that boredom hits it doesn’t go away until u quit and then every day im at that job it’s like a battle in my mind every single hour to not leave right then. And then I make it to the end of a shift and the next day it starts over and that battle is every single day. It’s so frustrating because I have friends younger than me that have worked the same job for 4-5 years and I don’t understand why I can’t do that.
@@Synickal what should we do ? How do we put an end to this madness
Try helping people
Not you telling my life story 😩 at this point I’m willing to settle for being one of those housewives that are drunk before noon
I'm surprised you made it through medical school with ADHD. I quit college in 2020 because I just can't get myself to sit down and study things I don't like.
Thats what i was thinking, very imprsssive
So true when your forced to study things you feel is useless then that’s when start realizing you’re struggle
He was probably on medication 💊. Lol. I dropped out because I hate learning things that I see no relevance to. It's Boring and it's not multiple choice either. I don't do well on tests I perfer to be outside in the sun and do whatever I like and study what's actually interesting to me. Not sit in a school being indoctrinated and forgetting the stuff later wasting so much money, since I have a poor memory.
A lot of people with ADHD thrive in and finish college. Just depends on the person.
Personally, I had never thought to drop out from preK to masters degree because I was a top student in school ('twice-exceptional"). However, it's a common thought from my doctoral program since the PhD has a lot of unstructured time and I ironically need a more structured schedule/ setting to keep me regulated.
Exactly! lol! I enjoyed Human Service classes not English classes or Math lol
I get overwhelmed so I bounce. The overwhelmed feeling builds up more and more then I spiral into a panic quit mode. I just try to tell myself why I need it and that my fears are trying to control my actions. It's hard, but I can't do what I want to without some money. I gotta keep at it for a year at least unless the work environment is truly toxic. A few bad apples is nothing, but if the boss is a good boss, keep it till you can afford something to further your next money making choice
I am 23, I have ADHD and I'm miserable working as an employee. I have always known this but never connected this to ADHD. Today I had to bear someone telling me off for having so much work and an ADHD flare up that I missed a non urgent deadline... I was like "yeah , yeah, please carry on telling me how my health issues make your life more difficult!". Lol I'm sick of this. But have no money and experience to start my own business :/.
Ya that can be a challenge. What do you love to do or passionate about?
@@doctorlegrand I work as a legal secretary while I finish my legal studies. I would like to be a lawyer but I'd rather be self employed.
I'm 24 and had like 20 jobs I always hear the negative feed back from their impossible expectations. I always see them make mistakes then come at me with their lies and false accusations when I'm only making minor mistakes. I can't read fast and I can't concentrate well and have a poor memory. I look back on things and they get mad that I can't remember everything I'm sick of it too. I wish they would back off about it 😒 or not yell at me.
At 61 I have been underemployed all my adult life.
Wish I had that luxury 😪 I'm stuck with getting yelled at for my disability issues.
This was so so helpful. I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD but I think I might have it. I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression and anxiety. I'm going to talk to my therapist about ADHD during our next session. Throughout the years I've been thinking about why its been extremely hard for me to be/stay productive or why I lose focus so fast or why I couldn't stay at a particular job for certain amounts of time. I've also been thinking about how in the world I am going to become successful when I suffer from all these hindrances. Watching your video about being successful with ADHD was also a tremendous help. Learning more about ADHD, things are starting to make so much more sense. Thank you so much for this, this helped broaden my understanding of ADHD. So happy you were able to find your way.
ADHD is extremely under-diagnosed in women and there are a lot of women with adhd who dont know and those who do usually discover it later on
You dont need to get diagnozed to realize you just not well-established into society...sucess talks
ADHD, depression, Anxiety, Bi-Polar, Dislexia, RSD, are all intertwined with it the ADHD web of symptoms.
Me too! I don't have a diagnosis but I feel the exact same way
I was diagnosed at 10 n I'm the exact same way but wat I recommend is the natural things avoid the drugs if u can they're only good for a limited amount of time
The fact that you got through medical school with ADHD 🙌🏼 Wow! Definitely inspired me, as someone who struggles with ADHD symptoms.
I really appreciate that u said ADHD symptoms, cause idk if u actually have it or not but it gets annoying when someone self diagnose. So u saying symptoms really shows a level of intelligence that is great. (My guess) is u realize I really relate to ADHD but we're never properly diagnosed. And taking that and maybe seeing if ADHD tips wrk for u. Again I could be wrong but still 👍
I’m 23 years old, diagnosed with ADHD and Dyspraxia (not dyslexia). I’ve had 9 different jobs and have struggled to find anything passionate in a job. This video has opened my eyes that you are correct, maybe not everyone is meant to work for someone.
If you don't have a passion or strong interest, that's not gonna translate well into entrepreneurship either
I went from job to job until I decided to go to university to study science.
In my second year the ADHD doubt that I had made the wrong choice kicked in.
I managed to stick it out and graduated with a 2:1.
I worked in a lab for two years and hated it in the end. The repetition drove me bonkers.
I then bounced again for 4 jobs until the pandemic. I did a lot of soul searching and found that I needed a job where every day isn't the same. I needed a challenge that would get me excited. I went into a management role in a residential children's home for children with learning disabilities, Autism and ADHD. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to get to work.
It's like I wrote your story. I'd also love to start my own business but I need a guaranteed income at the moment, maybe one day I can take that risk but for once, my ADHD risk taking is being sensible
Entrepreneurship definitely risky and you have to be able to project manage and regulate emotions around failure and rejection
The problem is what business to start, especially with so many interests.
3 years: "that's the longest I've actually been in a job"
Lol I've been so personally attacked. Still haven't hit the 2 year mark. Closest thing might be a job with my also ADHD partner where he is general managing daily operations and we have a lot of self-autonomy.
I don’t know what to do. I wanna do a business but I don’t know what
Wow … All I can say is “THANK YOU”
TLDR find your passion, do what you like doing.
The irony is though, finding that passion is harder than holding down an unbearable job, which is why so many people put up with just having a job.
Being poor is holding me back from becoming my own boss. That and low self-confidence. But I’ll figure it out-i still hold hope. Even if it might be foolish.
I am with you there. I also have a husband that isn't making enough to support both of us. I am looking for a new job and going to try to do freelance editing on the side to see if I like it and maybe pursue that full time or maybe I will like my new job. I am trying to be honest about who I am and what I need. Unfortunately I need to not get fired at my job now or we won't be able to afford rent
Same 😞 the only thing I can do is try to save bits and pieces of my paycheck so I can fund my dreams . Life is so hard for us.
How can we all come together to help one another? We all need help. Maybe collectively we can get what we need. Hugs to all you. My ADHD kin. ❤️
I have full blown ADHD and I have held down many jobs just fine. I do get frustrated but I have a wife and kids to look after so I just deal with it.
Well, good for you, then? Truly, was the point of this comment?
@@astralelegance3768 For real. He probably grew up in the "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps" generation.
I have adhd symptoms and get bored in jobs and I'm constantly pissing people off by distracted behaviour, perfectionism with tasks so taking time to complete stuff and being late in the mornings. But.. somehow managed to stay in jobs for years without disciplinaries not sure how maybe because i work hard and get hyper focused I'm a good salesperson. Work is quite repetitive but with some variety. (Opticians) Think i would prefer to do something else but can't pinpoint what. My point though is I'm 48 so yes been taught just to get on with it but sometimes work is overwhelming and a struggle i dont know how i cope sometimes as i also live with toddler grandchildren and a daughter who has autism and possible adhd. We are all different and what one person can cope with others cannot.
Yeah great video, but am I the only person with adhd that listens to these self help videos right up until the point I hear something like 'so just as I was about to finish college' or 'then I became a Dr' and think 🤔 is it just *my* adhd that stops me from achieving that shit? Like, if you've got ADHD, but you managed to become a doctor... in all honesty, really how bad is your adhd?
I’m with you, Jonny. That shit gets me, too. Any chance you had a lot of adverse life experiences? Did your parents treat you well? I think for me I would have done better if I had supportive people in my life, but there was almost no stability for me from my childhood through to my late 20s. I always got great grades when I was able to get it done, but rarely was I able to continue to get things done long enough to finish anything. I think there’s definitely a spectrum, and also people with ADHD who had a relatively normal childhood seem to do better than those of us who had a tumultuous one.
IQ and adhd are not the same so if a person has a high running IQ with higher functioning add..they might be able to escape neurodivergent hell. I cannot.
I’m wit U Jonny
I swear ADHD has ruined my life. I should've had my associates YEARS ago. Now I'm patching up dumpsters for a living. I feel like such a jackass lol.
@@edgargomez5599it has not! It may take time and you may not notice right away, but day by day if you keep aligning yourself with the life you want to have, you full find purpose meaning and fulfillment ❤ I appreciate your work even if it's not what you wanted to be doing, and I'm praying for you to eventually live a life you will be fulfilled with, even with adhd!❤
I just got fired for having ADHD. The boss was a prick and had the audacity to tell me to take my medicine 😡😡
Sounds like workplace discrimination. Sue!
Under the Americans with disabilities act you have the right to sue the company because of that .Was anyone else when he said that ? Did you record it?
Did the work place know you had ADD?
26, have had 11 jobs. Never gave a 2 weeks notice in my life I just stopped showing up. I whole heartedly want to keep a job but my mind isn't with it
I can't keep a job 😪 had like 20 jobs and just fail every time. 🙃 peoples expectations are impossible for me and I can't remember things well at all or focus. I didn't even know my own aunt was gone for 4 days when she told me she was leaving. And when I get a job I mostly get in trouble all day and do something wrong, get yelled at, and get fired. I can't keep doing this. It's painful to keep working in new places and disappointing them in what I do. I don't think I can do my own business 😕 never tried it.
LOVE the video!! I actually just got terminated from a job. I couldn't stand the supervisor, was always harassing me, making fun of my appearance, was changing up processes on me.
I have always wanted to make custom sand blasted mirrors, ya know frame them in put L.E.D light behind them. Maybe do custom pinsler glasses
that describes me. i had a supervisor who never smiled or said anything on a positive note , and had to work with a coworker who was always trying to discredit me in subtle ways. hated the micromanaging and negative vibes, but really like the work itself.
I'm 29 I'm lost Scared for my family and I am loosing hope.. I've had so many jobs that I've lost track of exactly how many I have had. I have had so many good opportunities with many different companies and I burned bridges with every single one of them and I was making anywhere from $17 to $37 an hour at some of these places and it seems that no matter how good I got treated at these places of employment I would either get bored and make an impulsive decision to walk out in the middle of a shift (which I Have done many times) or I will make one mistake and make it a huge deal inside of my own head and just loose all confidence and motivation to keep going. Typically when I lost my motivation and confidence to keep going i would finish my shift go home say I'm going to work tomorrow then go to bed wake up and bam I have a completely different mindset. I don't wanna go to work. I don't want anything to do with working. I don't want to be a people person. I would sit there contemplating my decision even though I know I am going to stay home and quit my job too only regret my decision hours later and then go right back to agreeing with my own decision. The worst part is that I don't last more then a few months I think the longest I've held a job has been about 5 1/2 months.
I'm growing quite tired of doing this to myself and I'm trying to find professional help.. I am diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar and Major depression disorder I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5. I believe I was diagnosed with depression and bi-polar disorder when I was an early teen 12-14yrs old roughly. I was on many different medications throughout my childhood and my teenage years until I was about 15. Sometimes I feel that's part of the reason I am the way I am is because of all the meds I had to take. I was prescribed Ridilon, Atarol, prozak, seraquel, and quite a few others. I was taking 9 pills a day at one point. Anyways I could be wrong maybe I'm over exaggerating or just looking for another excuse. I have mixed feelings about that being the reason.
I just don't know how to fix it. My brain flips a switch and all of a sudden I'm doing the same things over and over. Even though I know in the back of my head I'm putting myself in a crappy spot for not only me but my family too and they don't deserve to suffer because of my impulsive decisions. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated thanks for reading!!! I gotta run.
@Nick Delph I'm so sorry to hear this! I've been struggling at work recently too and am finally going to get treatment for my ADD and hope that it helps me be more productive. If you have health insurance, you should find a Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse who can assess and treat you. If you don't, you should see if there are any colleges with mental health clinics near you. I think they are usually low cost or free. I don't know if they can prescribe medicine, but they may be able to help get you on the right track. Wishing you luck!
“Your 29. You haven’t started in life”
Well described ADHD and depression
Hey nick I’m sorry I can’t offer much advice as I am living with the same problems at the age of 22. I would say at the very least I am now putting 2 and 2 together. I didn’t know ADHD had this big of a negative impact on my life. I’m going to seek professional help.
So happy you found something you love very important ❤
Needed this
Sounds familiar, I keep losing jobs because I end up making enemies at work.
It’s not like I do anything to create enemies. It’s just that I have always been the so called “other”. So people have a tendency to bully me. Then you compound the problem with office politics and well I end up having the “talk”. Sometimes they just fire me without telling me. That’s always awkward.
My solution was to find a career path that allows me to work alone.
I haven’t even seen my boss in like 9 months.
Which is perfect for me.
I just wish that I could have relationships but I know that’s an impossibility.
I just went through the same thing. In the last 1.5 years I've had FOUR JOBS. FOUR! I've just been taking whatever job I could to survive. I was fired from a job I had for 3 weeks because I DIDN'T SAY GOOD MORNING NICE ENOUGH TO THE MANAGER. No, I'm not kidding. I also tend to be bullied at jobs because 1. I tend to be meek when starting due to lack of confidence, and 2. I get in trouble because I want to be left alone and allowed to do my work without constant micromanaging. So now I'm working on freelancing and pet care. I want something that will keep me physically active AND mentally sharp. I have always worked better when I just do the work myself.
@@jmboyd65 if I could rewind the clock. Then go back to when I was 16.
I would slap myself in the face for not listening to my Grandpal Max when he said,” employee is another word for slave.”
The purpose of a getting a job is to acquire the capital necessary to start up a business.
Thus, liberating your self from the plantations!
Fast forward 24 years. I am paying the price for my arrogance.
So now I am doing exactly what my grandpal said. Maybe in the next few years. I’ll be able to start a trucking company provided that the dollar doesn’t bottom out. Then hyper inflation takes hold.
MAN I NEED THIS RIGHT HERE
I work in product management - I actually like the external structure that a job provides but within the role I get a lot of flexibility to be creative and work on various different projects, if I got stuck on a project one day I can typically just work on something else for a bit and then come back to it. I definitely didn't have this level of flexibility in my early career jobs and had to push through the burnout that came with forcing myself to do something I wasn't interested in.
What's holding me back from being my own boss? The fact that I'm unintelligent and have no skills that anyone would want and couldn't hack it...
I have ADD (no H) and I absolutely cannot “work from home”. Sometimes we have snow days and I have to try to work remotely… and on these days, I get absolutely NOTHING done. I’m a complete idiot when I am not around the office environment reminding me to stay on task. Same thing in college. I had to do my homework at the library at school or I just didn’t get it done.
It is hard to work with dyspraxia and ADHD, manual work , I am slow. I have poor coordination, I only drive locally. I live in the U.K. I never ever expected to pass my driving test , I cannot do DIY. My most severe impairment is coordination. My most severe condition is dyspraxia. Dyspraxia has a fraction of the recognition of ADHD . I have Aspergers traits, hardly a disability.
Just quit mine, after near 7 yrs was not hard, manual labor, just the work conditions, poor managment, co-workers.
Untreated add.
Stubborn persistence got me through.
I just said I'm done with this and up and left.
And I've only had 3 official jobs in my life. 😳
I’m 34 and have been a plumber for 10 years. I was at my first company for 5 years (fired) second company for 2.5 years (fired) 3rd company 9 months (left due to no work) 4th company 2 months (left) 5th company 5 months (fired).
I’m a plumber too and hate it
@@TheDominicKellmanPodcast why?
I was diagnosed with ADHD this year. As a teacher I was at 6 schools in 6 years because I just didn’t feel the fit.
How did you get organized enough to make it through school and plan stuff out? Did you take meds?
This makes sense why i get bored at any job and I've been in the process building my own business i look forward to it everyday although challenging but more fulfilling than the crap i do at work for an employer
I've had over 20 jobs, comma AA couple times have gotten fired but but mostly quit lay quit when I start getting bored and feel I'm not learning anything. I've always had entrepreneurial Business ideas in my head, It's just been also finding the right vehicle to Live out That potential. Lord keep me focused on my wife, and help me control my frustrations
Great video. This Is where I am now
Glad I can help 😁
I've just been diagnosed with Combined ADHD at the age of 25 I am now 26 now about a month ago I got my diagnosis and its put me at ease I knew that something wasn't right ever since I used to be at primary school I was very disruptive I used to get a lot of detention and tried to escape out of my primary school window and used to throw tables and chairs about in the dining room and lash out at people I am pretty sure I have Autism to because I am very sensitive to noises for example if a baby or kid cry's and screams I start to become very agitated and stressed out and start lashing out at people its not been easy for me to hold down a job I was in a paid job in a biscuit factory and I only lasted a week because I couldn't go at the speed they was telling me to go at I often lost my concentration and the people who worked at the biscuit factory on the production line used to shout at me for not being fast enough in the end I ended up storming out on the job and getting very angry and upset and them I had another little paid job as a cover office cleaner and that didn't go well to they told me I was to slow and would forget what bins to put things in and all so not working fast enough that was stressful to because I was very forgetful them I had another paid job I was on a trial for this job it was last year when I did it the same thing happend as the last one they said I dont think you are very confident enough to do this job I only lasted 3 days and they even told me I would forget a lot of things to doing the job once these things have happend I have all so been claiming Universal credit for the past few years now I tried to get PIP but was turned down so now im still waiting for my mandatory reconsideration to see if they can change my decision and look at it again its been a real nightmare I have just started my own business im a Avon Rep selling beauty products I must admit that being your own boss is better .
Is there another resolution for this? Or is there steps on how to get there? Hard trying to figure out where to start when you’re broke, unemployed and have no help or direction on where to start this process.
👏 really like this video
😄
Like many, I can interview well and write decent resumes but I eventually get burnt out and my true form shows which is showing up 5-10 minutes late every day and then it's the same old routine, everything gets rocky and I start to get resentful or at least I'm always wrestling to maintain an attitude of gratitude while dipping in and out of frustration.
My favorite jobs are ones where I work alone. I'm provided a workload and I just have to finish at a reasonable time. One of these jobs was delivering packages in my own car.
But then on the flip side I love greeting customers and answering new client questions and other reception duties but I have to enjoy the company or product. Because if I don't "believe" in the company, I can't fake the enthusiasm.
I'm kinda moving towards this. I'm at a sales gig and while I initially liked it, I kinda dread each day I have to get up and go in there. It really messes with my rejection sensitivity because it involves a lot of cold calling, which let's be real, nobody likes being on either end of those calls. Yet the research allegedly says that this is the most effective way to make sales.
So I've decided to start building a guitar teaching business on the side which I can then grow into a full time career. The current job will support me and help fund the initial business expenses and then hopefully I'll be able to go full time in the next year or two.
The only problem is finding the time to get it all done lol
I'm an employed software developer and have the same problem - multiple jobs, always great start and it is getting harder and harder soon - boss more and more unhappy and I feel so bad. I'm draming for years of an own web development agency but I'm afraid, because I feel responsible for our income (although my husband has good money) ... But I think I need to have trust in myself and start an own thing, otherwise I will become depressed and sick.
Great video❤️
😁👍
I doubt in myself alot even more when things get hard
im 25 and graduated college and rejected my grad school offer because of debt and thought i was just getting to old and had enough of school PLUS wanting to move. out of my parents house. I work full time now and dont like what i do at all & while im working im studying for the NYPD test & sanitation test and i feel like i would fail at that to. is there something wrong with me?
I was diagnosed with it at the age of 10 n my biggest mistake was taking Adderall because now it messed my sleep and gave me an addictive personality and I can't hold a job and people always try to manipulate me because of my age in the work place and I hate that n that is also why I can't hold a job I thought my ADHD would leave me alone as I got older but I guess not
I'm 33 now & am always life & soul of the party so to speak, usually get on with team members but feel there's consistently a disconnect with snr mgmt as they're usually quite smothering & want you to fit into their box. So frustrating, but a few people think I may have ADD as I get bored v easily. Need an assessment as it's now keeping me stagnant in career, finances & love 😭
How on earth did you manage to complete a doctorate? There is no way I could ever concentrate long enough to do that!
ADHD is innovaters
The problem with the job routine is....they are too routine! If I can't impart creativity to my work, it's frustrating.
I'm 19 relatively recently graduated from highschool but I cant hold a job to save my life I have thought about try to become an entrepreneur but since I'm fresh out highschool I don't have the money to even attempt that so I'm now stuck at this cross rode of wanting to save up and try but not being able to hold a job long enough to get there I've had 9 jobs but my total wrk experience is maybe a year and a half. And it's really killing me cause I wanna keep pushing and I feel like I'm trying my best but just keep falling so any advice from ppl who have had longer experience would be extremely appreciated
I can't even hold a study session. My mind is so scattered, i couldn't run a business. I'm struggling with just sitting down and doing my work for college. I can't even go to an actual college. I have to go to a community college because I can't afford going anywhere else. Every time I go to class i zone out against my will. I'm screwed. I'm done with life. Everything is just so grim. I might as well be homeless.
That does it I need to become a LIFE COACH
I dont have diagnosed adhd but its helpful
Same with me. I tried so many different things, jobs also i’m cretive talented, but my biggest problem is that I can’t handle to have a boss. I’m thinking for long time to start my own business and open my own beauty salon.
I do not understand why people think we are lazy I have learned too many skills in only one year compared to my peers. I know 4 languages I had the best GPA and did pretty well at school. the only thing I struggled with was landing a job. I tried so many things in hopes of not getting bored of it. now that I am about to start sth of my own, I feel better. I can get overwhelmed sometimes but I use tools and techniques of changing things and doing things differently and it helped.
I have seen many ADHD people in my life and I do not think they are lazy they just function differently. I am not here telling you to just start your business but I will recommend a job that gives you enough autonomy and variety to stay motivated .
Im 38, just got let go from a temp service after 6 months for tardies and absences, like 30, excessive. I work my butt off once im there on the clock, i just cannot seem to get out of my room on time. The last day i worked, i was 1 & 1/2 hours late. I was ill the day before with allergies, lost my glasses after taking benadryl for those allergies in the subsequent slumber. I lost both my shoes-not at the same time, blew a breaker, nearly peed myself because i had a knot in my pants drawstring at the seond-to-last minute, had to move clutter in order to be able to open my door, had to relocate my scrunchies id set down, knocked my trash can over, forgot my wallet/purse and had to go back for it, cried, threw a mini tantrum in my room sometime in the midst of all this, angry and frustrated with myself, and tried to "self soothe" with a vibrator only to learn that its broken, gave up on that, saw the time again, cussed myself out, and proceeded to get in my own way repeatedly until i finally arrived at work, to learn that id misplaced my door key card. I was an emotional mess and i left early sick. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, irritated, annoted, and so angry and ashamed at myself, emotionally dysregulated and done, i called it "sick."
Longest 2 weeks shy of 7 yrs.
After 3 I knew I needed to get out. But I overstayed because I needed $ to get a vehicle to be more mobile.
What’s stopping me is I want to start a llc but also want to learn the credit game but don’t have the resources
I’ve had 3 jobs in the past 4 months , they were all retail jobs, I would like to be my own boss but don’t have a clue on what to do or know what I like. I’m 55 and Ive had so many jobs : waitress, cashier, house cleaner, cleaned out used refrigerators, cashier in a flower shop, dish washer, warehouse production, baby sitter, cleaned a gym, set up items for an auctioneer, scrapper, Etsy seller, eBay seller, published artist. I need a challenge, I get so bored so easily and other times I’m off the chain hyper.
Congrats for finding your dream job

I can't find a job I've had done cleaning for 2 to 3 months Max and its too much I have symptoms of adhd and I've had scoliosis correction surgery so jobs are hard to find I'm 22 with a baby and a disabled fiancee
I've come to the point that I don't want to work anymore ever!!! I'm a single mom, my daughter has dysautonomia, I've had financial issues for three years... I'm so overwhelmed with everything. I just don't wanna do anything.
I love my job, I love my daughter, and it seems money and eating is not a huge motivation for me.😢
I have the same issue 😩. I'm ADHD and also a licensed insurance agent at a call center. I have a hard time passing quality assurance (calls are recorded) because of the stupid sales script even though I have extremely high sales. Everything is dictated to me everyday and I feel like quitting. Perhaps I should go independent.
Take advantage of your talents and run from restrictive rules.
If you can sell, find a supportive company and write your own ticket!
The corporate culture doesn't suit anyone basically who isn't typical. They don't want you excited or inspired, they want you to follow orders and serve their interests, which usually boils down to working thanklessly on pointless, boring and ecologically destructive tasks in order to make them richer. Beige doesn't suit ADHD brains. I always had a passion for Art and writing and even had some economic success but financial insecurity always drove me back into some form of paid employment - in a creative field you either win big or you are a hobbyist. That's how the system is engineered. Guess it's the same for a lot of people but I think if you're neuro-divergent it is the equivalent of forcing left handers to write with the right hand or a bear to turn somersaults, you're not going to be happy in an office.
Thx, i am preparing for my own business - getting mortals to fight in a tournament.
THats the reason ive had somany jobs employer has on line training and testing cant past the test can you give me advise what to do??

im in the same boat sadly
I know you probably practice speaking clearly with your patients and all that, but just so you know, I had to speed this video up 😂 I was having a really really hard time paying attention bc of how slow you were speaking.
How on earth did you become a doctor with ADHD? It’s amazing to me because I know how hard it is.
Being a doctor with adhd is easier than not having adhd....studying to become one is rhe hard part with adhd
100%
Can ADHD work in medical?
This is a story of him not really tips on what to do but good video
I just got handed notice that my job is terminating in 4 weeks [It's a contractor job], they promised the full package of a permanent contract, 24 days holiday a year and a pension scheme if I showed my worth to them... All I had to do was "be quiet, hard working with no questions being asked and to follow the micromanager's rules". It has been absolute hell to say the least. When I took the job, I was allowed to be my own boss in the team, then the traditionalist manager came and took over!! I am so done with being an employee with ADHD, all these managers treat us like we're completely intolerable!!! I say they are intolerable, boring, ungrateful and closed minded... I think entrepreneurship is a good path for me to follow now!!
How did you get through testing in school if you have ADHD?
Stubborn persistence haha 😁
Yep all the time. What hurts is that I was pretty sure I was gonna get hired somewhere and the lady said she liked me yet never called me back. I'm so upset and want to know why I will even go down there to see but I'm like what is the damn point? I brought this on myself. I have auditory Processing Disorder and when looking that up it says I'm impulsive. No mental health professional will look into my APD though it's frustrating so I get diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. My brother and mother both have ADHD my brother has been diagnosed with it my mom has not but I know she has it because she never stfu and so does my grandmother because she never stfu either. Sorry for cussing but it's true and both of them are annoying...and I don't STFU also. I'm sick and tired of mental health professionals diagnosing me with the wrong damn fing thing. Also I can't stand to be around people which is just another sign of APD. I'm tired of it. I can't keep a job either and it's a real struggle I either feel stupid for doing a job I know nothing about or I just get so bored of jobs. I'm tired of it.
I keep getting fired because of performance..did I have adhd..the longest I work is only 2.5 years..I need stable job to get married
I blame my ADHD for why I’ve worked at the same company for 16 years. I know I could make a lot more progress in my career by job hopping but applying to jobs is so difficult to stick with. Easier to stay put and make the best of it. At least it’s a decent job where nobody micromanages me.
I was diagnosed at 7 and have lost so many jobs I've lost count so I just stopped trying to play the NT worlds rat race games
I can’t stand bring critiqued and watched over by a boss. It makes me incredibly miserable. My entrepreneurial efforts have never paid off though. 😢
Very good video!
I'm 19, diagnosed with ADHD aged 11, I'm not medicated.
I've been a musician for three years, I can play guitar, sing and write songs, I love it!
I'm in that conflict zone as you mentioned. I've worked two jobs already, I did labouring for three months and quit twice because I hated being told what to do, it overwhelmed me being told to do task a task b etc. My boss got pissed off with me a lot because of my inexperience and we agreed that I do the most basic tasks. It felt uninspiring and embarrassing that I couldn't follow basic instructions, I got so bored. My next job was delivering food on my bike with UberEATS, it was nice because I enjoyed the fact that I decided my own hours, had breaks when I wanted to, and it was good exercise. However I've slipped away from doing this job regularly due to the demanding physical of the job (I live in an area that is very hilly), and I couldn't work more than 10-15 hours a week, which is not enough for me.
I'm thinking about perhaps I should use my musical abilities for freelance work, and build a name for myself as a session musician and a songwriter. It's early days right now but after watching this video it's made me think more seriously about being my own boss and the satisfaction it can bring to me! Perhaps I might start a guitar company... Who knows?
Glad I can provide that clarity for you 😊
I hope you went on to pursue music. I'm 31 with ADD and music has been my passion since I was 19. I figured out how to program a simple 4 on the floor beat in FL Studio and I was hooked. But I tried to please everybody else in life and believed them when they said there was no money in music. Thinking back, I should have used my scholarship to get a degree in music theory because it's MY life and I'm the one who has to live with my decisions at the end of it. Now I just shake my head because I've wasted so much time seeking the approval of others. Best of luck to you!
I'm looking to commit the most profitable crimes with the most lenient punishments
bro how in the flying hell did you make it through med school with adhd!!
Was not easy had a lot of failures along the way but these study techniques really helped with my ADHD brain: ua-cam.com/video/oKyi2rFEwAw/v-deo.html
Nooo, no way I have ADHD. Absolutely not. Or so they say.
I am absolutely unable to keep a job tho, getting fired all the time. Bosses just hate my low vibe and forgetting stuff.
I am single, parents can’t help, my business isn’t generating income
That's the tip....start your own business.... sighs....
