ADHD jobs and some advice
I just recently found out I have inattentive ADHD and so much makes sense now. For a long time I was unsure in my job and something just felt off, I thought I needed to work fewer days as that would free up some mental space and give me time to figure out an alternative career possibly.
Upon being diagnosed a lot of these thoughts and feelings have become clearer to me and why I was feeling the way I was.
I work as a Network Engineer and there are certain parts of the job that I enjoy but I do struggle with the fear of something going down and being responsible for fixing it and the fact that it can happen at any time doesn't help. It's largely office based, which is ok but I find splitting my day up by being in the office for a few hours and then out and about suits me much better. I tend to become much less mentally fatigued if I mix the day up a bit.
If you found yourself in a similar situation in a job or career and then made a change, what did you do and how did you go about it?
I enjoy learning so studying towards something new would be fine but I have just never known what I would be suited for.
