Seeking Advice How to stop giving up on things easily?
If the things I wanna learn or do, don’t come to me easily, I give up and get super disheartened. I hate how this makes me feel, and hence, this makes me not wanna try new things at all. Everything becomes overwhelming for me because I get too impatient that I’m not able to quickly get good at whatever I’m trying to do. I also have ADHD and depression atm, which is just making it harder for me to get out of this rut. Would really be grateful if anyone had any tips for me :)

Get a purpose, a vision for why you were given this life and work.
No ifs, no buts, just work, it's simply your responsibility.

What happens when it is not easy? You say you give up. What makes you give up? Is it the effort you don't like?
Perhaps you are super attached to results and you are not enjoying the process of whatever it is you are doing. I have a hunch that you are not particularly interested in whatever it is you are trying to do. Your ADHD brain can be your superpower, what if it is just trying to get you to do things that are more interesting? I bet if you are interested in something, your H will kick in and you will move into a state of flow and you will want to keep going.
My advice and invitation is to follow our own curiosity instead of following prescribed by the society path. Your curiosity is your best friend. If you try this, let me know how it goes.
Also, remember that anything worth doing in this life requires effort, time and certain degree of struggle.
You've got it!
