ADHD-friendly job?

I made a previous post about my current Customer Support job, so I thought I would try getting advice with another related post.

I'm 31M and trying to figure out my potential career path, as I'm at a point in my life where I simply don't know what I can do/want to do.

Some background info: I worked in hospitality for 7 years and really don't want to go back. I've had office jobs in the past and my current job is in Customer Support so multi-tasking, time management and organization are important but I really struggle with these skills.

Are there other jobs that I haven't considered that may I may be better suited to to do?

Have there been other people feeling unsure about what to pursue? If so, did you seek guidance from a career councillor or maybe did an Aptitude Test?

Is quitting my Customer Support job after 5 months a bad idea?

I'm a 31M and i started a Customer Support job in February (4 months into it now).

I suffer from anxiety and depression, for which I'm seeing a professional again. This job has triggered my anxiety and depression after a pretty long run of good mood/stability. It's gotten so bad that I'm genuinely excited for bed, and feel such dread each morning (especially Mondays), and my friends and family notice something is wrong.

My question: **Would it be a bad idea to leave the job to take a break during the summer?**

My therapist and my parents have encouraged me to quit this job, even if I don't have a new one lined up, but my partner and myself know how competitive the job market is so quitting feels like quite a risk. I also have ADHD, so it only adds to the already daunting task of job hunting.

**NB: I'm in a really scary and, quite frankly, lonely time in my life right now, so a bit of grace and open-mindedness would be appreciated.

Edit: In case it's important, I have regular monthly car and medication expenses, among other expenses.

Thank you

What's your experience job hunting as an ADHDer? Any advice?

I'm at a confusing and rather worrying stage in my life (31M btw) where I'm trying to figure out who I am, what I enjoy & what I'm going to do as a career.

I'm currently working a job I hate (Customer Support at a FinTech company). I'm 4 months into the probationary period but I've gotten to a point where my anxiety levels are high almost all day, everyday.

I'm looking for new jobs but I have difficulty with focusing, comprehending, and preparing my CV & Cover Letter. Additionally, I have such low confidence in my abilities to perform well that I'd consider it to be at grippling levels at this point; the idea of not being good enough and failing (as I'm not good at improvising or faking confidence) leaves me basically paralyzed when applying for a particular job.

Can anyone share their experiences and tips to feel like you've been productive at the end of the day (i.e. submitting job applications)?

Many thanks

Aptitude Test recommendations?

So I'm 31 and at a loss about what I like, what I'm good at, what my potential occupation could be.

​

I'm looking around for reputable/official aptitude tests to take to get a better understanding of myself and to (maybe) put me on the right path towards a career that I'm actually happy to work in.

​

Any help would be so appreciated.

The Sisters' Power Progression

I found myself reading old posts of peoples' opinions about the sisters and how their powers progressed over the seasons.

While some people talk about how Piper's control over molecules should have evolved into some sort of transmutation, or Prue gaining the power of levitation, a lot of the conversation seems to be centred around Phoebe and how the writers handled her and her powers really badly.

How would you have evolved the 4 sisters' powers over the seasons? Does each sister's power make sense or would you have approached them differently - especially with Phoebe's power set?

▲ 1 r/Dublin

I'm looking for a place to have a simple intimate dinner and drinks (between 6-8 people) for my 31st birthday and was thinking about Ranelagh/Rathmines as opposed to the city centre.

I don't want to be in the middle of town's chaos but I also have friends who have to drive from outside Dublin, so I figured Ranelagh is a good medium?

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Seeing a lot of opinion posts about ATLA and LOK and one about Asami popped up on my timeline, talking about general thoughts about her character.

It reminded me of the scrapped idea the writers had in the early stages of LOK to have Asami be an Equalist and how so many people were against the idea because she would have just been another femme fatale when that doesn't have to be the case? At the end of the day, we're talking hypotheticals, and there was so much untapped potential in that idea.

Asami being an Equalist spy fits her character perfectly. As we know, she experienced the trauma of her mother being killed by Benders. She could've been groomed from an early age to not only hate Benders but also how to fight against and neutralise them. She would eventually be sent to spy on Korra by using Mako as a cover. Think of the group interactions, the dynamics, the inner conflict Asami feels when she gets to know the group as people first and Benders second, especially when we know she ends up with Korra in the end, think about the complete emotion and mental toll this would have on her regarding the image she has of her father and her mother. Think of the redemption arc!

I know for a fact a lot of fans had this same idea when she was first introduced but it never came to be, as the writers scrapped the idea since they liked her too much iirc?

Reducing this idea to 'Asami would just be a femme fatale' feels so unimaginative and lazy when you think of the possibilities even a little bit.

NB: I've always liked Asami's character but there was always something missing for me. She's kind, capable, brave and savvy but she never felt complete (tbf, I feel the same for Mako and maybe Bolin).
