A little bit about me as this is my first post here.
Hey there, I'm Sally, I have ADHD (Combined type) that was only diagnosed just over a month ago. I also have chronic clinical depression and anxiety that I was diagnosed with at 16. I'm 25 and currently working a job I really dislike.
As for the meat of this post:
Is anyone else here really, really irritated with LinkedIn? I am so tired of Job hunting advice by 'experts' on there. I spend so much time on LinkedIn due to my job, and I've read so many posts meant to motivate job-seekers that I can say with certainty that they all boil down to
'Just apply, it's not your fault if they don't choose you. But it's also definitely your fault because you're just not good enough and being too picky. But also don't take it personally! Just work much harder than you ever would on anything ever then maybe you'll get it 
)))' And also self congratulating recruiters who can't wait to post how amazing they are because they hired one disabled or disadvantaged person.
Then there's the awful job postings on there wanting 3+ years experience for an entry level job with wages barely above minimum wage (if announced at all), and a list of responsibilities longer than my arm.
So, I decided to look into ADHD specific job help, and it feels even worse. Most of the places just list jobs good for people with ADHD (Like teaching or hairstylist...) and how ADHD people need to follow their passions and make their special interests a massive part of their work. But nowhere do they have advice on how to get those jobs, or how to build a career. They have advice for if you land an interview or if you need to talk to your boss once at the job, but not a single word about what to do to get the actual job. It frustrates me no end that I now know more about how ADHD people are allowed in the American Military than how to make a CV or cover letter that will help me move into a career that surrounds things I'm interested in.
I signed up for Scope's Support to Work, and emailed them straight after putting in my application to say that even though I haven't got a hearing impediment I would rather be contacted through email due to the anxiety I feel with phone calls, and how I find them very difficult to follow. I then received two phone calls from StW in the space of five minutes which I didn't pick up due to said anxiety and now I'm worried I've messed up my chances of getting the support due to this. I'm also so anxious about applying to jobs in companies that talk about wanting to employ more disabled people. I understand the good meanings behind it, but it feels very much like an excuse to hire a token disabled person to make their company seem more diverse...but that might just be the cynicism installed in me by fruitless job hunting.
I'm so sick of job seeking.
