I feel upset, disheartened and angry. And I will voice my dissatisfaction to Infold everywhere I can.

But if the loud minority that fucked us up can do this, we should be a bigger and louder force.

But manners, please.

I'm 31F, have bachelors in English language. Finished UX/UI course (3 months & useless). I’m trying to figure out realistic career directions that fit my strengths / personality instead of forcing myself into something that burns me out long-term.

Everything feels like it burns me out due to ADHD symptoms and I struggle to pass even 3 month study course. I am not yet diagnosed or medicated. I am trying to figure out my life outside of medication because there's always a risk pills won't help or won't fit. Right now depression and ADHD fucks me up so much I barely get through the day.

I need direction, goal, and hope first.

Things I genuinely do well:

• visual thinking and aesthetics
• drawing
• improving visuals/details
• making people feel comfortable around me
• practical organization of physical spaces
• calm/pleasant presence
• capable of working independently for long periods
• I enjoy some novelty, variation, problem solving instead of doing the exact same thing forever
• keep calm in bad/scary situations (but I'm not gonna to go ER)

I can't:

• 9-5 (I was ok 4 days, always emotionally dead on 5th; if the job is super chill or too busy to think yet not intense, I may handle that)
• repetitive work with no creativity or variation
• noisy environments
• constant conflict/tension/backstabbing
• chaotic uncertainty
• aggressive/high-pressure social environments

I was only able to get work as a seller/cashier in the past. It was okay, but it paid abysmally low and my back & feet pain was too much even in my 20s.

I am bad at pushing people to buy products. I speak quiet and soft and not confident, although everyone generally finds my company pleasant. I am interested in visuals and helping people. I'd prefer 2/2 or 3/3 or 4/2 if possible. It's okay if my job is not my passion, I just need it to be not overwhelming and survivable.

I am afraid to dive into UX/UI due to how popular it is, AI and so on, so I put that option away. And I'm not very passionate about it anyway.

I would be happy even work in a store if it paid well and had good hours, but there isn't any option like that on the market in the current century and I see that I need to get some degree to be able to have a life.

Am bad at maths, physics, chemistry, history, finance and so on.

Is there anything that even approximately fits me? I can afford courses & etc.
Thank you in advance.

Hello! I'm 31, already sleeping bad due to anxiety / slight health problems I'm working on.

I couldn't choose an appropriate flair, so we'll go w beauty because it's one of the things I'm worried about.

I'm having anxiety because *some* women enter peri early, and I feel like my life hasn't started yet. And it's disheartening to think that I may have only ~10 years of relatively uncomplicated health, beauty, and life, before it gets hard. I struggle with anxiety, depression, adhd symptoms, executive dysfunction, excess weight, silly brain forgetting where my sentence was going when I'm speaking, so I'm terrified to think how it will be.

My "getting older" skin type is sagging, so I may have it smooth my whole life, but I'll look like a sad doggie. I wish I could be looking cute until 60. :(

Any positives? 🫠💙
