High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up for University

a) I'm not in a place where even if I emailed them and they did understand I would be any more likely to actually follow through the second they stopped looking over my shoulder.

b) 30 grand and benefits in Albuquerque isn't a low wage it's god damned pinkies out upper class.

c) I am not over qualified to be a stock boy (though I am damned good at it) I am orthogonally qualified for other jobs.

d) yeah I am aware that a therapist would help but that self sabatoge came after 6 months of counseling and antidepressants... More effective therapy is either non existent or out of my price range.

Being active and yet totally incapable of doing anything that makes you feel bad might be depression but actually sounds like an ADHD symptom people don't talk about.

Unfortunately I've never heard about therapy for this - there's just a different medication than antidepressants - but maybe reading that would help you.
