Well hey thanks. Im 25. Most recently I was my dads home care nurse, being paid unofficially by him at about $10/hr (the Feds wouldnt pay me because he made too much money in his career), with more sometimes if I needed it.

Before that I made between min. and ~$8.50 with the exception of a few summers (seasonal job) where I made ~$11. But it never seemed like anywhere near enough. Theres just so dang much that you have to pay for, you cant do anything without money.

Ive almost entirely been supported by my parents (parent now) my whole life, and doing it on my own seems like a vague, impossible dream that could never happen. What sucks is I was a good, grade-A student for most of my life which theoretically could have led to a good career, but I gave up at around 17.

I just found out that I have an immune condition which can cause severe mental illness, and the doctors think Ive had it for 8-10 years (so, around that time).

You're young, you still have plenty of time. Have you considered going to college part-time? Or to a trade school? You can even be an apprentice and learn a trade while you're getting paid.
