adhd success stories?

Does anyone have any success stories? you've found your niche? doing something fulfilling that you love?

​

I'm on the verge of dropping out of university for around the 5th time in my life and I'm feeling really down about it. I've always been extremely ambitious and the idea of getting a degree has been really important to me for my entire life, but I've never found anything that I've been able to stick to. Everything I've tried has left me feeling like a complete and utter stupid failure.

​

I know I'm not stupid, but I can't focus my energy where it needs to go so I'm always left feeling and seeming like I am. After being diagnosed with ADHD I've been re-evaluating my options, trying to come to terms with the fact that university might not be for me and that I should explore other avenues, but I'm just fundamentally discouraged. I want to do amazing things in life but I'm so far behind and can't get there no matter how hard I try.

​

Does anyone have any links to anything inspiring? I watched Jessica McCabes ted talk which I really enjoyed and it made me feel a little better, but not all of us can be youtubers. Does anyone have any personal success stories? Links to other stories/videos of other ADHDers who are living their truth? I really need some kind of hope and guidance right now. Thank you xx
