I'm in my 30s and trying to go back to school. It has me reflecting on the last decade and why I've never been able to commit to a hobby or stay on one path/interest despite having many interests and goals. I've been taking ADHD more seriously for the first time as an adult because its become apparent that I struggle to commit to anything. I've been wondering if my inability to figure out "my purpose" this whole time has been because of ADHD and not just because I find everything interesting.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what helped you?

I'm in the process of getting a therapist and hoping to speak to them about medication and routine. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teen by one doctor (no second opinion) but didn't take it seriously then so hoping to figure things out now

  • Lol, I switch what career I think I'll end up in every couple of months, I've been in social work for 6 months since graduating (I studied poli sci), might go to HVAC in the spring, and will be starting an accounting degree online soon. I just want something that makes me enough money to afford the necessities and have some fun while seeing enough aside for my eventually house/retirement (whichever comes first 🥲)

    Edit: 23M

  • I don’t know much about medication but I never saw career indecisiveness as one of the symptoms reliefs of medication. And therapy also wouldn’t solve indecisiveness. I could be wrong but that’s my thoughts
