I do want to get out of the house more and do things but a lot of time anxiety, depression and feeling isolated even around people gets in the way. So having the income probably wont help that but it would give me more options.
But yeah I am 23 and I have nothing to show other than a useless highschool diploma and accumulated college loan debt...Oh and official records that I am mental and have been in a psych ward. So I can relate to the wasted life feeling.

Hellion I'm sorry your going through this. It sucks to be depressed and to be unable to work. It really messes up your self esteem when you can't take care of yourself. I understand completely. But you have to do what you have to do. I hope your disability comes through, get a lawyer if you have to. I didn't want to get on it but i had to, i needed an income. You still have time to go to school so don't be too discouraged. Take care of yourself now and when your feeling better you can go back and try again. Its hard to concentrate when your depressed. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing.
