I'm in my late twenties and I don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
As a kid I was pushed towards "successful" (STEM) fields and that's all I've ever known to be acceptable. Undiagnosed ADHD made it hard enough just to keep working towards the finish line, let alone to explore other things in depth.
I struggled to get here, and now that I'm here, all I know is that I don't want to be here.
But I've got so much financial anxiety that I'm frozen in place, unwilling to take a leap into something new because where I am now is, at the very least, stable.
I want out, but I'm scared. I don't know where to go. I desperately want to be doing something that makes me happy, but I dont know how to figure out what that is.
Lots of thinking lately, but not much progress. One step at a time, I suppose.
