Hi everyone,
I joined this forum as I find it hard expressing how I’ve been feeling to the people close to me.
For a long time I’ve felt like this but I’ve found a consistent way of distracting myself through a focus on my career. I’m diagnosed adhd and an ed, and have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life as well. I guess I’m just reaching out as I feel incredibly lonely and lost and don’t really know what to do with this pressure I’ve put on myself as my career has become my identity and when I’m finding it difficult, I start to question what I really want to do with my life and worry about the guilt I would feel to both myself and my family and friends if I decide to discover another path. What if this is really what I want to do and choosing another path will fill me with regret for what I could have been a capable of? What if this is something I’ve just chosen because I felt I owed it to my family to pursue this as they did so much for me and never had the chance to do something like this themselves? I feel very lost and most of all, I feel exhausted.
I don’t know if this made any sense, but I wanted to thank the moderators and creators of this platform, but also the kind people that read all of these posts.
