sordidmesh,
Welcome to the forums! I'm glad you're here. If you decide to persue a college degree (and it can open a lot of doors to a better job), many colleges will allow you to sit in on classes as an observer. This will allow you to get a feel for what the course is all about and how the teacher/instructor runs his/her course. I went back to college at age 38, and had three courses I liked. I sat in on all of them, and by doing so, I was able to decide on Design Drafting. I liked the creative side of the field. The money isn't bad either

.
Of course you have to do what you feel is best for you. I hope you'll continue to come here and let us support you. There's really some great people here. I hope you're able to get your meds straightened out soon, I know what a pain in the backside that can be. Remember, you are a worthwhile human being, you'll get to where you're going. We'll do our best to help you.
I'm hoping it works out for you.

I will sail my vessel,
Til the river runs dry,
Like a bird upon the wind,
These waters are my sky,
I'll never reach my destination,
If I never try,
So I will sail my vessel,
Til the river runs dry.
