So I have worked remote for longer then most people both as leadership and as an IC at times. If you struggle in an in-person office to stay on task and get things done timely and without crazy last minute games then you will struggle with remote work period. Not trying to be a dick, but even the best people will struggle with remote at times. This is especially true if you are wanting to do side projects, you'll get distracted easily and not do what you need to when accountability is not in person. My 2 cents, get a dev job right now, don't do any other work temporarily but get some medical help with the ADHD or whatever it is so that you can improve yourself. Then use your side projects as the reward for having put in the work to fix your behavior first. I personally struggled early on with remote (over a decade ago), especially when I was trying to do side projects. While I don't have ADHD, I had to learn how to focus and correct my own "shiny object disease". I don't have any issues now (or really over the past 10+ years), but I had to first accept I needed to fix my behavior and not ignore it. The advantage, I have been way more productive across more things over the years, making me far more money and even more important, making me less stressed and happy too. Good luck! * edited a couple of words for clarity
