To think iv wasted my life and I don’t see the point of carrying on

Oh OP, I wish I could give you a hug.

As everyone else has said, you're not too old and it's not too late to carve out a career for yourself. There will always be options and employers are desperate for people who want to work hard and do well - skills can be taught but attitude is so important. And, in social care, they are crying out for people with a caring approach and who want to do this type of work, have you spoken to anyone who could point you in the right direction?

BUT, do remember that you are far more than just your job or exam results. You will have countless qualities that people value and love - your children, your husband, friends and family. You will make people feel good and valued, so who can you lean on to make you feel the same? Dyslexia and ADHD can be obstacles, there's no doubt, but they can be worked around and worked with, and I can guarantee you, you're not thick, you simply haven't been supported in the right way.

As others have said, your self esteem seems very low, so can you focus on how you can give yourself a bit of a boost right now though I know that's far from easy or simple. Now your littlest is 8, this is the ideal time to start investing some time and energy into you - you have years ahead of you and this is just the beginning.

Cheering you on from here x

Too old and too thick? I am sure not.
I left school without qualifications at 16 and I did my university degree at 36. By that point they didn't care about my qualifications. As a mature student, they were more interested in my life experiences.
So if you want to be a midwife or any form of healthcare professional, you can absolutely make a start. Get a position as a care worker or, better still, as an HCA in a local NHS trust. Give it a couple of years to gain relevant experience, maybe do an access course at the same time and then see what your options are after that. Honestly, it is easier than you think to get your life back on track.

I retrained at 30 and then added another professional qualification 10 years later. It’s never too late, dyslexia and ADHD make it more challenging but there’s so much support in higher education now. You have years of life left in you.

34 is still young, honestly. People re-train at all ages. I'm a decade older and changing career. You definitely are not too thick! Go for it, what have you got to lose. There will be options for you.

Well you are not too old- that's for sure. A friend of mine went back to study at 42 years old. Best thing she ever did. Lots of people do it.
You do however seem to be very low and down on yourself for now reason and that is something you should address immediately.

I think there are access courses available op, take a look at what you want to do and see if their are any courses you can take to get you there. I’m sure open university and local colleges run these. You still have 30 years of working life left so get out there and do what you can.
You can receive support for the dyslexia too.

Never too old. 34 is no age!

You are not 'too thick' ~ it sounds like you've done an amazing job so far.

Think about the long term. Even if it takes years to retrain, do you exams, and qualify - if you start now you'll still have decades working as a midwife after that!

Lots of people go back and study later on. There will be options out there for you 💐

You're never too old and it's never too late. Have you looked into any career pathways?
