I wonder if anyone else has these issues I’ve had the hardest time keeping jobs all my life with my longest tenure being about a year and a half. Most of my working years my adhd wasn’t truly treated however I was self medicating during that year and a half I was on lamictal and Wellbutrin because they thought I was bipolar exercising regularly had no wife or child or real outside stress and I still left. My issue is not related to performance or being let go in fact except for one weird situation I’ve never been let go from a single job and as sad as it is to admit I’ve lost count of my jobs but know it’s north of 18 different jobs.

I always seem to start out motivated and positive then typically it drains out I lose all motivation and start having these feelings of I have to leave and go somewhere else etc and I keep trying to force myself to stay then I usually start calling out and then usually the situation speeds up very rapidly to where I either put in notice and don’t complete notice and quit or on the worst times just call out and say I quit. Kind of depends but no matter the situation it feels almost like an impossible to stop compulsion for me.

This current job seems to have only gone on so long due to my adderall because any time I don’t have it I almost quit but I can feel the expiration date for this job approaching.

Most days I have no motivation and the only reason I make it is the adderall once it wears off around 2 I don’t want to do anything for the rest of the day it’s terrible.

I don’t think like mentioned all over the place I have the fear of failure and typically in all the jobs I’m usually exceeding standards so I don’t think it’s quitting before I get fired. I do think I might get burnt out but I don’t know why

How do you keep a job?? Nothing can seem to stop me from quitting not even knowing I have a family and daughter to support it’s sad and very frustrating because obviously I can’t keep this up forever my resume is now starting to have serious issues because of how long I’ve been in the workforce with no serious experience anywhere.

I’ve tried many different industries and job types and nothing seems to stick.
