I’ve been at my current job for four years now. For three years I enjoyed it, but then came a new process. I want to quit but the circumstances aren’t right right now. I just can’t stand this newer process, it’s just mind bogglingly bad. And every part of it is like the exact antithesis of what I can accomplish easily with my ADHD. Not that I’m hiding behind my diagnosis, but it just feels like every step of every single thing I have to do is in direct contrast to things I have the ability and executive function for. I want to scream.

I don’t know if there is active prevention, but I’m about to ask my boss to have a meeting to tell her that I am falling way behind because of this switch up. Basically cry for help - but really rather than help,I hope I can just fill a vacancy that deals with our legacy records and data, where my mind works.

What show is this from?

Gods, I do not miss the dumbass circle jerk comments from Reddit. “I also choose this guy’s wife”. Just. Go away. Blech.

I see them very very rarely here, but they’re easy enough to ignore because it’s maybe one comment, not 900

My reddit account age was in the double digits before I closed it down to come here during the 3rd party apps/api fiasco.

It was a little difficult at first, but honestly it was really good for me to break away from so much phone usage and doom scrolling especially. My mental health improved a noticable amount. That first year or so here on Lemmy felt a little empty, but I think a lot of the people that migrated from Reddit realized that to have content one must make content. Personally, I’m far far more active here than I ever was on Reddit.

It’s a cozy community 90% of the time, and it feels like a good home that’s only getting better and richer with time.

Depending on where you live, a bike can do wonders. I hate the gym too, but being able to ride my bike and see different places and things at my own pace is really motivating for me.

I think mine is the JonBenet Ramsey case. I lived in Colorado and I just remember seeing her picture on the news over and over and over. It’s a very very early memory so I don’t remember much else at all.

I vaguely remember Princess Diana’s death, I think. I remember when Michael Jordan retired - but honestly that might be more to do with Space Jam than anything else.

And then 911 is the next big one.

This is the version I know. Definitely a banger song

I’m going to second the college info. My ex phoned his CS degree in and didn’t have anything to show for his skills when it came time to find a job.

I hustled, kept my grades up, and was honest with my professors when I didn’t understand something. I got an internship across the country and as soon as I came back the main professor for my major helped get me two more internships while he also helped try to find me connections with his old jobs. I know I’m not the only one he did this with.

But now I’ve been working for a unionized job with my degree for 4 years and am climbing up the ladders.

Put in effort and try to be your honest self and it raises your chances of things working out.

Getting an associates degree can help you a lot if you have the ability to do so. There are a lot of medical jobs that you can nab with a 2 year degree. X-ray tech, cat scan tech, MRI tech, ultrasound tech, etc. You can also do back of house stuff such as medical coding or IT for hospitals. You can also get an associates in chemistry and work in a lab. You can work as an insurance actuary. Maybe look up what certifications your local community college offers. Certs usually lead to jobs.

If school isn’t in your budget yet, or just not your thing, landscaping is almost always hiring, as are construction jobs. They’re hard on your body, but it’s a job to start with. Someone mentioned trucking, a CDL is a great idea. Again, not easy work, but it’ll pay the bills until you feel like doing something else. Forklift certifications are good to have as well, although I’m not positive on how long those take.

You have a lot of options for sure, and you’re young. The world is your oyster, it’s just up to you to put in the effort.

Patrick’s Point is one of my all time favorite places. Watching the waves crash against Wedding Rock is just the best

She is my Ducky and I am her little Crow.

But in general we are Darling to one another

I’m sorry for the break, but those are cute

Awh that’s cute

Hi parent! It’s me, your long lost child. Can you give me our home address so I can be there this weekend?

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity

It’s a new anime and it’s more focused on the kids, but the relationship the main has with his family is so good. Honestly all of the characters are just so darn good. They’re all so wholesome and just good.

One of the jumps startled a couple next to me who had a bunch of snacks and whatever was in their hand went absolutely flying. Every time they moved, you’d hear another thing fall to the ground. It unfortunately took me out of the movie a bit because it was so funny

Ah thank you so much. For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you and your brother, too! ❤️

I broke several cycles in my family. I didn’t fall back into the cycle of being poor. Nor did I fall back into a cycle of abuse.

I struggle every day with mental grossness, still, but I won’t let myself fall down into the same cycles.

Congrats!

That looks tasty, but I’m thrown that you’re having dessert before dinner, lol
