I just found out that I lost my job. I was supposed to start tomorrow, but because it took me a while to fix my van they decided to go with someone else.

It's somewhat my fault as I didn't exactly fix my van as soon as I could. I probably could've done it a few days earlier.

Anyway, it just seems that this latest failure is a continuation of similar failures I've had throughout my life.

I really want to move out of home already, but with no job and virtually no money, I'm still at square one.

Feel like I will constantly be at square one for the rest of my life. Not a good feeling.

Well, at least I have my health?

As your post confirms, failure is not inevitable. At least this time, the loss of the job was due to procrastination. Perhaps it is time to stop the lament. If you want to move out of the house, get serious about it.

Good luck.

Maybe there is something holding you back?

That's really awful, I'm sorry to hear that!

However, you admit that the job loss was due to not getting the van fixed up soon enough. As NuckingFutz said, is there something holding you back?

Also, are you thinking of applying for more jobs?

Just wanted to say I was JUST AT THAT SAME POINT you are at..in my life....right through to my late twenties...(YOUR age?)

In my thirties I began getting more confidence as jobs started accepting me as I am, who I am.....started keeping jobs for years.....it was a true miracle considering.....just considering how I tended to put things off...and considering how difficult my ADHD was.....and that it was untreated..

But I kept plugging away, even though folks would tell me STOP TRYING AND JUST GO ON DISABILITY!!....I did not listen..

You my friend are probably not nearly like my case, you are must be better..

But even someone like me finally got enough acceptance and confidence I started actually advancing in my jobs...

Im not at the perfect job but I am getting by & happy...have been at it for awhile...

I feel your life will only improve from here on out, I feel it in my heart
