See, didn't even cross my mind because what poor person ever invested money? Questionable if the amount i have is high enough to make it worth it but anything is better than letting it rot in a savings account i guess. I got a not-too-distant relative who is an investment banker (or was, we haven't seen each other in years), guess i shoot him a call in the coming days.
If you put every spare dollar you have into an index fund even in partial shares you will be so so glad you did. Schwab has very low fees. Get a brokerage account with them. Half of the bitching about the world and politics here is people with no clue about the world and money to match. Invest passively and into big funds, you will not feel wronged or miss the money. Do not wait or time the market, dump money into blue chips and index funds and vanguard funds and shit like that. Your future depends on creating passive income by getting enough money working for you. Pick a thing and invest like you have no curiosity or desire to win big. The stock market is a casino where on a long enough time scale you and the house win.
 
I was recently shot down out of a job after an interview. This one stung a lot more because I had a reference inside the company and a bit of relevant experience for a job that didn't require any experience. This just makes me want to stop trying entirely. I've been looking after deciding that my last job really wasn't for me. Apparently that may have been the worst mistake of my entire life because I've now been unemployed for two years and no company wants me. I feel like a burden to my parents, and that I'm wasting away my prime years unable to do anything.
 
Not great. I got fired yesterday and spent the rest of my day applying to new jobs. Got into a fight with my friend and then started drinking.
Ive been just kinda having the worst go at it since I lost my meds and the last job I had laid us off due to budgets. This job was shit but it makes me feel like more of a failure than I already did.
 
Sorry for posting here so much, I’m doing it for accountability. I talked to my therapist and she’s gonna get me on meds, I was very hesitant at first cause of that hurdle that I’ll seem retarded but when she laid it out for me I realized she was right. I could finish school, get a job, move out. The main thing hindering me from all of these was how unstable and schizo I was, meds could fix all of that. I’m weighing it between people judging me and me actually living my life, the latter sounds more important I guess.

I’m nervous but I think I’ve got this, I’ve been medicated before and it’s how I graduated high school, it’s how I had the drive to make genuine friends, it’s how I felt the need to go outside. I don’t know if they’ll prescribe me Prozac again, but I can hope that whatever they prescribe it’ll be ok.
