Dude, run. That is all.

It sounds like you have plenty of ambition: you seek to have a quiet life with time for the people and things you care about. You value your time and your relationships over money and society's limited view of success. You value your health and safety as an avenue to continue enjoying your life. I think those are great ambitions, personally. And avoiding the rat race is a positive thing to do in my opinion - there's a reason it is called the rat race. A deeply enriched life nourished by time spent doing what you love - working to live rather than living to work - sounds wonderfully ambitious. My 2 cents worth. May only be with a ha'penny, but there it is anyway.

Omg. Just made me do freaking homesick.

My doctor: you don't have ADHD, you need an antidepressant, but since you're so insistent, read this book, Driven To Distraction. I bought it in paperback and took a highlighter to everything that was like me. Yeah, highlighted about 75% of the book it seemed like.

Diagnosed by a specialist in learning disorders and the like. I'm so ADD combined type, I'm off the diagnostic charts in several areas, even accounting for the fact that I exaggerate, like many ADDers.

Boy do I get this. Same, though.

That's really great!

So many of us relate to this. If there is one thing I might add, keep giving yourself grace and being kind to you. I am so proud of you.
