I'm employed plus a student diagnosed with type 1. What gets me through is meds, alcohol and a goal. Mine being finishing school, getting my cpa, and never have to wash dishes again. The swings will happen either way and most days I sob for ~5 minutes in the dishpit but it will pass and I try to remember my goal. Dishwasher is a good job for us. I hardly talk to anyone and spend my time listening to audiobooks and podcasts. But then again people will treat you like bottom of the barrel shit. Get over it and don't forget what you're working toward.

No pills. Therapy is fine, it actually works if you are man enough to admit your weaknesses and your desire to change for the better.

Stop thinking of yourself as a victim with a mental disorder. Start planning what type of person you want to be, then start acting on your goals to make that person your reality. There is no hope in Western psychology, only defeating labels and brain-numbing drugs that hide your actual internal power.

Ask for help from an actual psychologist, and ask him these questions instead of an anime board. I would recommend working at a job until you are confident enough to start a meticulously planned small business. Good luck. Be honest with yourself and stop making excuses.

meant to say Psychiatry instead of psychology. Difference being, psychiatrists label your issue and typically recommend drugs, whereas there are many psychologists who specialize only in therapeutic techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (actively training yourself to have a stronger mind and smarter behaviors.)

I get that. I see more people suggesting CBT or DBT to work on stuff. That appeals to me.

I have wondered that but at the time of quitting, it felt like I was in a burning building and jumping out was the only option.

That resonates with me. Revenge seems to be a great motivator and I've used spite in the past. Only way i've gotten shit done. Now it's like the fight has gone out. I usually respond to getting insulted but now it just makes me depressed.

I wish I could afford meds man. I just have enough saved for food and other necessary expenses. One hour of psychologist is $250 and one doctor's appointment is $400.
