I talked to my neuro about changing meds cause I thought maybe it was causing me to be depressed but he said it doesn’t cause mood problems. I don’t really believe him but my life has been so shit since then that I have no idea if it’s the meds or not. I don’t think I’m depressed, I enjoy shooting and I laugh hanging out with my friends or whatever. But honestly if I was older and didn’t still have things I wanted to do I’d probably just kill myself. I hate being a leech off my mother but I seem to hate working, I can’t find any kind of career. I’ve always been a jack of all trades so I have no idea what I would accel at in a career. I can’t confide in her because she’ll start crying and feeling guilty about fucking up my upbringing (divorces, lots of moves, quite poor until recently). I don’t really feel like a therapist will help I just feel like I need to get a solid 9-5 I don’t hate so that I afford to shoot again and gives me an excuse to socialize with coworkers, but this job market is so bad and I just don’t even know what to look for. It’s been 2 years and I’m pretty much at the same place in life I was when I graduated. Meds? Therapy? Rope?

I won't read your wall of text autobiography and meandering stream of thoughts. Get to the point next time.
