I aced the first 3 months at a new job, even got a raise and I was complimented that if everyone was like me the business would be on a whole another level.
...aaand at that point I had learned most of what was new and interesting and now all that's left is routine tasks -- and I'm dying. It got so boring so fast that my brain switched into serious dissociation and depression. I could just sit back and enjoy the easy job and get paid but no. Suddenly it's a struggle to finish just a simple email. Fuck this.
I learnt early that I needed a new job every year or I go from top performer to bottom of the scoreboard. It seems to work for me.
That's why I like my labor job. Interesting or not, it engages the hyper bit so I can just keep moving the whole time
I was diagnosed at 39 while working for the company I'm currently with. At the time I was a welder. Since then I've been promoted into the office.
I had NO IDEA how much that physical job was helping me to control my stupid brane.
I was once like you. Until started optimising performance. There's always a better way.
