sqeng69,

First-- Welcome to PsychCentral.

I hope you don't take offense to what I'm about to say-- it's just that you sound a lot like how I am. I've been through about 12 jobs in 10 years! I didn't even finish college-- and rarely see a project all the way to the end. After having been to 3 therapists -- which involved about 2 years total - in therapy-- I have found that my biggest obstacle is how I feel about myself!! I'm a hard worker and dependable-- but after a short time I get nervous-- then sometimes start making mistakes-- it's usually not long after that -- I quit, thinking to myself that it's best to quit before I get fired.

Well, through some therapy I've discovered I am a bit OC- obsessive compulsive-- about my performance. I have to be perfect or I can't work there! I wonder-- does this sound like anything that goes on in your mind?? Not meaning any offense to you at all.

I do have a son diagnosed with ADD- so I am somewhat familiar with it. And considering all your accomplishments-- it sounds a bit different than ADD-- but that's just my take on it.

I think it would be very helpful to see a therapist and then you will have a better understanding of yourself.
Good luck to you and your family.
