I'd echo another post saying don't underestimate your depression and/or ADHD. Some (many?) people suffering don't even realise the extent a lot of the time.

I also took note of you describing your DnD buddies as 'your partner's friends'. I mean you've been going out for years, they must be your friends now? I found that a bit odd.

Anyway, temper what I've said with yeah, you're not necessarily supposed to have it figured out yet.

I've been through all kinds of therapy and also Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (I'm sure some will think that's a fad or whatever, fine) but certainly have a think about setting some professional goals. You must have a vocational interest by now.

Set short term goals. I am into Computing and went through some free and paid for online courses (properly!). Half-decent ones, not crap.

In Computering we're able to get Certs as well, so that was another achievable, tangible goal.

Finally make a habit of reaching your goal. Going all balls to the wall for 1-2 days, or even over a week is not sustainable. It's a lifestyle thing - an hour or whatever a day - forever. Get used to it!

So yeah, think about your vocation and what you need to achieve. And take steps that you can measure.

If you are a time traveller you want to be cautious because you don't want to create a world you are unfamiliar with but as I'm not familiar with not because I think I might accidentally cause world war 3 or invent nuclear fusion. This subreddit is nothing but platitudes.

Allow systems (aka people) to grow at a healthy pace instead of forcing them to mature on your schedule, because it is detrimental to the overall health and well being otherwise.

Unfortunately because so many people grow up with different experiences and privileges, and we lump all people together in state institutions, ie school, it necessarily means you cant tailor curriculum to individual students, but instead have to act as though everyone is equal and has the same experience. So naturally many kids are forced to compete with those that have unfair advantages and therefore we inevitably end up forcing some percentage of kids to change/learn/mature faster than is natural, because, you know, we as a nation would rather spend money on war and dysfunctional subsidized corporations than educating people effectively.
