Hello,

My name is Jacob. I have recently had a setback in my life. Over my lifetime, I have developed a worsening problem of anxiety and depression. My most recent setback was triggered by failing to complete my Master's program (for which I have NO plans on going back to - it's what triggered everything). At 25 years old, I am ready to settle down with a job (even entry-level). I want to find something whereby my anxiety (OCD / perfectionism) and depression may be more easily accommodated (preferably without having to locate too far from home).

Has anyone ever felt like they've had to "start over" even though you have a degree? I am in the middle of job searching and even though I only just started over the past couple weeks, my impatience and fear of the future is getting to me. I've looked at some temporary positions, but I would love a permanent position somewhere. (sigh)
