I am a high masking 25yo women who is really new into discovering that I’m neurodivergent. I’ve always struggled with jobs and usually quit right before the 1 year mark because I burnout so bad it’s leads to very severe depression. I go months unemployed then do pretty great at interview gets a job and then a few months down the road I can’t handle it-but I just try push through stay strong but no matter what it always leads to burnout. Sooo…tbh this has become a cycle for me now over the past few years especially and I’m currently unemployed again :/ interviewing a lot and truly I’m just absolutely terrified to start a new job and repeat that depressing cycle. That almost becomes unsafe because of how severely depressed I can get from the burnout. I know I shouldn’t just expect the next job will make me feel the same I should try to be positive, but also I feel like noticing strong patterns is reliable.
I’m really hoping to find a remote job as I do believe this would suit me a lot better but the chance of that is low compared to other jobs I may end up getting.
I just don’t know what to do. Any advice? Do I really have to be picky with jobs but also I need money? Also because of this I’m scared to choose a career commit to it and it not work out? I can’t seem to find a career path I won’t ultimately burnout and quit from? Would love to hear all thoughts and know I’m not alone with this and hear your experiences. Love this group 💗
