Hi. Apply for state medi-cal(different name different state). There should be a public medical clinic nearby. I get my ADHD meds as part of my care. They work to give all that energy some direction. An unexpected effect is making your emotions more stable.
Now imagine that going on years after you get a degree. I’m a 40’s something. I was too proud and young to see I never a had chance at a regular job. I only applied for disability in 2008, got it on the first try(rare). Most people have no idea ADHD is a disability, let alone a seriously bad disability. Your best bet is self-employment, find your local college get financial aid for career advice.
This is economy period is one of the two worst in American history. That’s due to disastrous financial policy financial changes over last 40 years. I’ll not get into that, check “linktv.org” for more info. Everybody is hurting.
Don’t let pride get in your way. Do what you need to do. Admit your “disabled” and get whatever government help you need. Most public agency’s won’t help you with psychology counseling. I found a way around that. Apply for the smallest unit college class you can find. Colleges usually offer counseling services. You have professional to talk to and didn’t cost much, college fees minus financial aid.
Coming here and asking for help is a good first step. You think your screwed right? Well, i’m 20 years older and really screwed. 😉
