I used to work in IT, have been unemployed for half a year, haven't been invited to interviews, and I am desperate.

My therapist was unable to help me when I brought up this issue. She told me I should live my life according to my values, and when I told her my values (receiving education, having a rewarding job) she told me I should work toward those goals, but she left it at that.

I asked for more help but she was unable to give it, so I quit.

I found another therapist, she was direct and told me that she is not a career advisor.

What should I do?

I would like to get a job... but I can't give one myself.

I would like to go back to school... but my concentration is so poor I can barely read and retain information.

I would like to get meds so I can concentrate... but my doctor says I am not getting them because I don't have ADD.

What should I do? Should I buy ADD medications on the internet and deal with the consequences if I get caught? Move to a country where they can be bought without a prescription?
