I'm new here. I am currently a grad student studying Public Health, and was diagnosed with ADHD about 6 months ago.
As part of my program I am completing a summer internship. I have been finding it VERY difficult to focus at work, primarily because I have a complex project that has no firm deadlines or structure. It is a 9-5 job where I am stuck in a cubicle all day with little to no social interaction.
I feel overwhelmed, anxious, and inadequate in my work- constantly feeling like I don't have what it takes to succeed. It has really taken a toll on my self-esteem, and my depression has re-surfaced in the past month since starting. Does anyone have a similar experience to share, or any suggestions?
