AuDHD here. After graduating from college last year, I’ve been trying more to work. My problem is that, after a few months of working at any given job, I usually almost completely run out of steam and desire to work. I’m a writing tutor right now and can feel myself losing any interest in this job. Anyone have any tips? I’m really not sure what to do.

I feel you. I feel like jobs with a lot of different tasks or clients worked best for me so far - I was in the small marketing team of a big crafts company and had to do product photography in the studio, packaging design on my computer, answer to client mails, etc. - I liked the different modes. Another example would be a business consultant who works in different branches. But eventually I also grew out of marketing, and now I‘m a freelance designer, I paint murals and sell Linocuts. It’s really not easy financially though. But at least I can change every now and then.
I'm 39 and I've never been able to hold down a job, the longest was 2 years and I felt drained by the end of it. Its my biggest struggle. I tend to start businesses, do really well then get bored and start another one...its an ongoing cycle for me 🙈
