I've had so many different jobs over the course of my life. I think my longest was three years. I'll usually start off great but I always, always mess it up or change something to leave or quit before I'm fired.

This can also be applied to other areas of my life. Relationships, school. I rarely finish what I start.

I'm not consistent. I'll get so excited about something that I don't always see it might not be best. My mind tricks me into thinking I can do this, then tells me AFTER I start I can't. My husband says I set myself up for failure and give up too easy.

How do I break that pattern? Every time I fail or give up it's harder to try again. I don't want to be sucked into negative thinking but that's where my mind goes.

I wonder if I'm even employable. Contemplating disability.

Anyone experience this too & have you been able to turn it around?
