Im stuck. Im 42. I have had a recent diagnosis of ADD and with that alot of realizations' about myself and my choices. I have experience working in lots of different settings, some more rewarding than others. I stopped working when i had my first child and have tried (and failed) to find a career that would allow me to work for myself, in something that I enjoy. I need structure. Ive realised. I am jaded by my attempts to find a career/job as some of them have been unrealistic and pursued out of boredom more than anything. The course or idea has been the bit Ive enjoyed (very Adhd) The reality has caused anxiety. I am so worried about making another wrong decision, wasting money on courses when I have so many barriers to success Eg. Confidence is on the floor, anxiety about being in a work place, interviews, lack of funds, three children etc. One option is to put energy into little 'projects' here and there, but unlikely to give me the financial rewards or structure (We are not doing well financially) Another is to look seriously at Social Work degree or similar. All my negative beliefs about myself at this point in my life just says WHATS THE POINT! you will just fail and it will be humiliating. The capable 'parent' in me thinks that my children deserve more and that I should push myself and get whatever support I need to succeed. Arghhhhhhhhhh I don't know what to do.
