I have ADHD anxiety and depression . I struggled with working in a normal workplace. The solution for me was having my own business at home. I found I was so much more productive, I think the main reason was the stress was much less. It let me deal with the world on my terms, I interacted with people, customers and suppliers as I felt. It's not for everyone, but for me it worked. I'm considering TMS for myself, so are following your progress, thanks for your reports cheers.
Before I took on a 9-to-5 job, I relied on income from my Etsy shop and custom orders for T-shirts and invitations. It was less stressful, but the earnings were inconsistent, and I sometimes struggled financially. Now that I have a steady paycheck, I’m dealing with more stress and less freedom. I need to find a middle ground where I can enjoy financial stability without sacrificing too much of my personal freedom and peace of mind.
I understand that you've been facing some really tough times recently. It is incredibly overwhelming to juggle a demanding full-time job along with everything else you have on your plate. It's absolutely okay to feel frustrated and complain. I got myself thinking it's possible that exhaustion doesn't necessarily mean you can't handle a full-time workload; it might just be that you’ve taken on too much at once. As someone with ADHD, I've also learned that we tend to overestimate our abilities and capacity. In my case it leads to a cycle of burnout too often, and I wonder if you might be experiencing something similar. I myself felt that I just couldn't handle what I was supposed to so many times and the thought that I couldn't handle a full-time job is so terrifying to me that I never let myself to admit it. So when I heard it in your video it triggered me. Meaning I felt something like “No no no! Anything just not that!” and I started projecting my fears on your situation. So I completely understand and accept it if my suggestions are not only irrelevant but unwanted 😅
