Work. Issues help if you can

Thpsguy

So in January I finished my first permanent paid Job and not only. Did I leave every day with. Burn out some days I was amazing at my job but others I. Was useless

I've figured out it's. My ADHD but untilled. I. Get meds I dont really know if I'll ever be fallible of. Work not just due to that but also. Due to debilitating executive dysfunction 

I really right now need a job that's shirt term just to balance out my finances whilst I. Wait on hopefully ADHD meds and I can maybe seek a permanent job if the meds work any ideas? 

Like. I need a job that offers a full time wage but understands an unmediated adhder can be super duper productive in short bursts and the rest of the time. May be best suited to low level tasks with less too. For. Failure idealy working away from. Anything. With clocks and away from patterns that show you what time. It. Is this like that grind me so much because. It makes time. Blindness work against me

  • I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time finding appropriate and sustainable employment, Thpsguy.  This is something that a lot of neurodivergent people can definitely relate to.

    You may like to have a look at the NAS guidance pages on employment here: Employment.  It covers information including how to find a job that is right for you, support in finding work and support you can request when you are in work too.  Notably it is tailored for autistic people, but I am certain there will be a lot of overlap between what you talk about struggling with due to ADHD as well.

    I'm wishing you the best of luck in finding a job that suits your circumstances!
