I lost two interviews a year ago despite having a perfectly fitting resume, and when I look back, I see two common factors. I had strong visible hand tremor from Depakote (which I have since dropped) and I was depressed and lost. So I did not shine. Employers do not want to hire girls with poorly hidden sadness and despair in the eyes and shaking hands. And not just employers. Keep it in mind.
Thank you but this may be something other than depression. It would be easy for me to say otherwise but I think it's just a problem with me. I was probably doing this before I even had depression. And it's not really a matter of being shy either. It's at it's worst when I am not shy. It comes from a time when all my problems could be solved by opening a book. I became arrogant and now I'm afraid that I hurt someone else because my ego got in the way. And where does a guy like me get an ego anyway?

Regardless I don't even know if seeing a T is possible for me right now. I have so many other problems that such a thing seems like a luxury... But thank you for all your help. I don't know how to fix this but I'm probably going to be on my own.
