I’m stuck in a blank cycle where work is concerned. I do have ADHD which is probably adding to all work related problems - people pleasing, worrying far too much about a what if, perfectionism and not having a clue what job I might like.
I’ve worked for a long time now in the justice sector - education facilitator in a prison, prison officer and now kind of a support worker for low level offenders - manage your own caseload type of thing and address any needs they have (substance misuse/mental health etc); where you can be diarised new people every week to assess until your caseload is full, then keeping track of them every week.
I tolerate my current job because it’s flexi time Mon-Fri and brings decent money but that’s about it. I still feel as if I don’t see my children that much and get a lot of the money taken for childcare.
It sounds a bit selfish or ‘bad’, but I feel after so long, I’m just drained and ‘done’ with other people’s problems and crave some work satisfaction and enjoyment. I love working with children and animals but I know unless you were to re-train into a specific role, they’re not the best paid.
What job do you do that I can go and research in true ADHD style? Or perhaps you left work to be more family focused and it worked out better?
