@MadgePickles I sometimes try it but generally experience great difficulty in doing it because I either am completely exhausted or my not so great coordination ends up causing a problem.

I'm glad it worked out for you.

I actually studied for Computer Engineering geared toward embedded electronic design... never got a role in it beyond a one year internship down the street from campus.

After I graduated, recruiters just saw "computer" in my degree and assumed that I could do anything with computers... I knew bits and pieces of C++ coding, and picked up some things fast... but as time went on... I struggled more and more with anything involving software development and knew that it wasn't for me. I tried taking online courses to get back into roles related to my studies... I did well on assessments, but struggled with interviews... while also dealing with recruiters who assumed that I had always been in the role I was trying to get into... the last time I ever entertained anything within tech was past year when I received the news that I was only qualified for an internship which I would have to compete with students while I have been out of school for 14 years... I realized that I needed to change my career path.

I have admitted on many occasions that I prefer to be hands-on with my work... but last year I also admitted that I like working with my hands and not data. I stumbled into a hobby that I might consider for work... some people think that I should even sell such items... I am willing to give it a try when I am both comfortable enough with my skills and am in a position to actually do it.

I used to be on antidepressants, but they didn't help me regulate things ... same for antianxiety meds... I think that such things for at least myself are externally provoked.... with issues like acceptance, understanding, and things that actually make me happy and safe. Coping skills actually do a much better job for me.... but I don't stim as much as I used to because I was ridiculed for it.
