Choosing a Career Path with BPD and ADHD

This might be a strange question. But for those of you with BPD and ADHD, how did you decide what career path to follow? I’m at a point in my life where I’m trying to change my life. I’d like to go to college and get a degree. But tbh I really have no clue what I’d like to do. I really don’t have any hobbies or passions. Heck I don’t even know who I am as a person. So it’s very hard for me to figure out. Most people talk about following your passion or somehow taking a hobby and turning it into a profession. So I just really have no idea. So any advice or even telling me how you decided for yourself would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

that’s awesome!! Actually I’ve had thoughts of culinary arts as well but like you I know I couldn’t do it due to physical limitations. I have terrible knees. I started college yrs ago when I was 17 (yes I was young.) I was going into IT. I really enjoyed it. I never finished my degree though. I’m much older now, 39. I’m struggling to figure out what to go into. 😕… But thank you for sharing that with me! It did help to hear that IT seems to work well with some ADHDers. 🙏
