It's NOT bad luck, OP. DOn't hide behind that, otherwise you'll be borderline homeless all your life.

Do you have ADHD? Are you manic-depressive, or chronically depressed? Something must be wrong for you to not be able to hold down jobs.

I know, because DH has ADHD and has often been asked to leave a post.

A little self-introspection is needed here.[/quote]

I have ADHD and have never been fired or let go.
I've been at my current job 7 years and have been promoted from Lead-Manager-Director-Vice President. I have risen fast in my industry and for being a woman, that says alot, considering I'm in engineering.

ADHD tends to be the current excuse du jour for ordinary losers. When in fact ADHD, when managed can be an asset.[/quote]

21:27 here.  ITA.  Key phrase being "when managed".  Therein lies the rub.  I have kids with ADHD, and they are brilliant, creative, out-of-the-box thinkers, and I help them manage their ADHD by teaching them strategies, the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, responsibility, and appropriate meds.  My goal is for them to build their own tool kit and become functioning, happy adults.  My ex refuses to take responsibility for his own care, refuses outside help, and he is sadly non-functioning.
