I'm homeless, live in a vehicle and can't hold a job (getting along with people). My parents insisted ADD was a fad and that I was normal, yet all of my peers said I was weird. Not many friends. Under-treated depression until 30. Lived withdrawn for several years. Finally on atomoxetine at 40, which helps some. Lots of plans but no sustained focus and execution to get anything done. I somehow slogged through getting a CS degree over 10 years, but went bankrupt and have $9k in undischargeable student loan debt. My cognition is declining, I sleep on a very odd schedule and don't really have any purpose or use because I'm too old. Intervention earlier and don't do as I did... because you can basically never recover from homelessness without help but there is no help.
