Critical support needed

🤔 NeedAdvice

From a very young age—around 10—I was drawn to business and real-world work. I spent my childhood sitting in a small shop near my home, learning how things actually function. Books and academics never spoke to me, but family and social pressure pushed me into studies. I completed it, took up a low-paying job, yet my mind always longed for something hands-on and meaningful.

Over the past eight years, I’ve explored almost every path I could—IT jobs, running a café, building an e-commerce business, trying to launch a tech startup, and exploring sales. My drive has always come from a deep need for financial independence and self-respect born out of early struggles. But every time I start something, boredom, burnout, and lack of consistency and discipline make me quit before real progress happens.

Now, at 27, I still haven’t found a purpose I can truly stick to. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, which makes it incredibly hard to focus, plan, or stay consistent. My mind races from one idea to another, chasing excitement that quickly fades. I’ve built a pattern of starting strong and crashing early, which leaves me feeling broken and abnormal. My relationships suffer from my instability, and financially, I’m at rock bottom—savings gone, survival itself becoming difficult.

I’ve realized a few things about myself: 1. I’m naturally drawn to solving people’s problems and giving advice, though lack of niche or expertise makes me doubt if this can be a path. 2. I’m capable of managing and running a business end-to-end. 3. Product-based or D2C ventures deeply excite me, likely because of my early exposure to a family shop.

(Idk if I’ll like them when I’ll try)

Despite knowing what sparks interest, I constantly struggle with fear, indiscipline, overthinking, and running away when things get tough. Deep down I always crave to be consistent and disciplined because it makes people successful. Watching others succeed while I’m stuck adds pain. Suggest me some profession which can be really stimulating for adhd brain and help me with advices if you have any for me.
