Well, that’s pretty much it. I’m 32m, I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD at 30 and been medicated since then.

My life has been pretty chaotic until that diagnosis and since that moment, I’ve finally get to have some control over my life.

I’m very invested in my job (software engineer) and I enjoy seeing myself as an achiever at work. My job gives me a purpose and somehow, brings meaning to my days.

However, outside of the office, my days seem meaningless. I have a girlfriend that I love a lot, even though we lack some physical connections; Even though I enjoy being around her, this doesn’t seem enough to give me purpose. Whenever and however I think about it, occupying my free time feels overwhelming. Sometimes I just work on weekends just to do something that feels meaningful.

I have very few friends, and I like to see them when they are available, but this doesn’t fill the void, if that makes any sense.

I’ve recently started studying languages through Duolingo, and it helps me quite a bit, but I fear that it won’t be enough.

Does anyone relate to this ?
