I’ve (28F) been working the same dead-end job at a grocery store for years and haven’t moved up at all.
I’ve struggled with math and science and the medical field typically requires a lot of that. I don’t have any real strong passions but I know that I like having structure in my day to day. Being given a set amount of tasks to get done where I can listen to music or a podcast is something I’d really love.

However I’m physically limited. I have a threshold of how much I can handle. I’ve tried doing custodial work and I would be in immense pain. I wish I was stronger because that type of work is exactly what I like. It’s somewhat simple yet structured. I also enjoy stocking shelves, funny enough, because of how simple it is and how I can organize the shelves so they look presentable.
I have some experience with data entry, and I’m good at it, but I think that will be replaced with AI very soon.

My strong traits are: great attention to detail, organized, can memorize numbers pretty well, and I’m artistic/creative.

I’ve already considered making art my career but as someone who SUCKS at self discipline and self-management…I can’t make a living with that. I also feel like I’d learn to hate art if I turned it into a “job”.

After being stuck in a minimum wage retail job being broke for years I’m really considering going to school for HIT. I looked into what are some good jobs for someone who’s introverted and this one seemed to stick out the most to me.

I just have some concerns about it….

I’m afraid that I won’t be smart enough to fulfill this role. I’ve struggled with math that’s anything past algebra.
I’m also very introverted but I enjoy working with numbers and computers. I have 0 experience with coding.

I have adhd and sometimes have difficulty focusing but I definitely work best when I’m given structure and a set list of work to do. Would this career field be best for me?

I’m sick of working retail and after doing research of healthcare jobs that seem to be best for introverts, this one caught my attention. I like repetitive tasks and I have great attention to detail.

I just have no idea where to start. All the local SP jobs require a certification and experience so I’m not sure how to get my foot in the door.

I also can’t seem to find any schools that teach SP that will prepare me for the exam and help place me to get the 400 hours.
Any advice is appreciated!!

So I struggle with ADHD, GAD and depression. I’ve been on Effexor for several years now and I’ve found really little to no growth in my life. I feel tired most of the time and I’ve realized it’s probably due to being on the wrong medication.

My psych decided to cross taper me off the Effexor and onto Trintellix. Right now I’m at 150mg Effexor and 5mg Trintellix. I’ve noticed that I’ve had difficult sleeping and anxiety. It’s been a month since the switch and I feel like maybe I shouldn’t have started the Trintellix yet? Like maybe I should have had my Effexor lowered first and then put on Trintellix?

Just curious if anyone here has had a similar experience or maybe has any advice about these side effects.
