I keep getting kind of down on myself about not knowing what I should do with my life in terms of work. It’s like I made it through my “oh sh*t” moment, and now I don’t know how to make my life worth a d@mn. Got the ADHD. It’s literally hard for me to think ahead. And all I can envision is the most probable dissatisfaction of some monotonous job to pay the bills. I am afraid and I need an adult

Find a job and go to it every day. During your time off from that job you can think about what other job you like to do.
Any job is better than no job. You can figure out a career as you go.

A job is not "doing something with your life".
It's affords your possibilities to do things outside of work. If work is your life, you need to get more creative. It doesn't need to define you.

Well shoot, I don’t know man. I feel like I gotta do something to raise my income consistently. I mean DoorDash is great, and it checks a lot of boxes for me.
But it’s not the greatest as far as financial consistency goes when you have to battle your depression, adhd, and anxiety

I have a friend who does instacart and creates content as she waits on orders... It's playing the long game but with her focus she'll be an influencer in time.

That’s good. Remember that no matter what you decide if you’re practicing the steps and staying sober it will all work out ok.

Thats dope! I’m not entirely sure the content creator thing is for me though lol I guess the frustration with myself lies in the fact that I don’t have focus, or my focus is fleeting.
It’s hard for me to see things through, and it’s hard me to start because I know this about myself. I will undoubtedly get bored, and ask myself whats even the point in this? And then another project is abandoned lol I need some sort of thing or person that’s going to keep me on track as far as that stuff goes

I’m definitely staying sober, I’m not really much for the AA/12 steps thing.
Well A.A. certainly doesn’t have a monopoly on how to stay sober. But it has worked for me. Seems like you’re doing alright. Just hang in there.

Thanks. I’ll give some more thought to schooling. And noo my diagnosis didn’t stop, it was just an explanation that made all too much sense lol seeing as it was kind of a random diagnosis at 27 or 28 years old that I did not see coming
True, I suppose its just my reaction to pressure to get a real job and such.

That’s amazing Trevor. Do you go to meetings?
…make sure that you are not fixating on this too much.
Yes.
We need to work and money is important!
While if you are succumbing to pressure and I know it is difficult not to, so often…you are going to be missing out on the joys that include being present in this life.
Most humans, self included…miss out on many beautiful moments since our minds are conditioned to fixate on / over futures we have no control over.

I reread your post.
With all due respect, you are REally fixating on the future.
While I get that it can feel difficult not to!
