Trying to change my life for the better after discovering AHDH

[peppadew]

I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADD, and given ADHD medication.

I have had career difficulties throughout my life, due to my difficulty to cope with mamy thibgs at once. forgetting or losing things a lot, emotional problems and anger problems. Apparantly all this is very much due to ADHD.

Now, at 39 I am trying to change my life around. It is difficult and uncertain.

I saw a career counsellor, but feel let down by her, although I am doing research as much as I can on what she suggested I should try get into.

But together with that, I want to improve on my health and weight and feel no one will take me seriously being this overweight.

I have 2 qualifications which both feel useless to me as I dont fit in with either profession, and she got stuck on suggestions based on those qualifications.

I also struggle with depression and mild social anxiety, and am scared that these will be the reason I miss out on great opportunities.

How do I go about improving my self confidence??

I too have this , probably moderate in attentive type . I have been feeling stuck from past two years . Had seen counsellor for six months . It mostly helped with the emotional aspect but not much help in behavioural and career. please get in touch so we can share resource. I am looking for an ADHD coach but it’s difficult to find that in India .
