I’m at very low point in my life. Being rejected and rejected time and time again for jobs after graduating from college in 2021 wasn’t something I was prepared for. At least for this long. I have Depression, Anixety, and ADHD. I have no emotional support as my my family is torn apart. My birth mom is deceased, my step mom is deceased, I don’t have a relationship with my father and most of my siblings are fending for themselves. It’s hell. And I’m constantly reminded how behind I am by family.

Thanks for the question. I enjoy many things. I do videography and content creation, I write poetry, and I make comedy skits and I’m trying get into a career as a online creator but it’s tough getting into that as a career bc it’s still fairly new. There’s no direct guideline like there is a lawyer, doctor, etc.

Same, but for me having ADHD is a gift and a curse. It helps me a lot with my creative pursuits. But you don’t operate the same as everyone else and you get crucified for it. I’m rarely really in environments where my ADHD is beneficial. So I’m very misunderstood and frowned upon because of it.
