Before you start working on this snowball, consider what might happen to these worries if you have a sense of humor about it. Buy a mop and start practicing to be a janitor!
Do you know how many CEOs have ADHD?

>that I won't ever find employment that fits and won't bore me to tears,
I have the same fear myself, that's why I'm in school studying something that challenges me so I can work in a field that challenges me.
How do you challenge yourself?
>that the financial impact of my underemployment is devastating to me and my family,
I see your worry starts to snowball. Do you stop yourself when you begin to worry like this?
>that even when I find something that works initially it ends because of something I've done wrong or not well enough due to poor organization etc.
The snowball gets bigger. You're catastrophizing.
>that everyone else knows what they can and want to do with their lives and are enjoying success because of their clarity.
Why does this bother you?
