This is the type of post that got me banned from the ADHD forum.
Let's see how things go here at WrongPlanet.
First of all, I'm male, nearly 30 years old, unemployed for almost a year. I have asked the local career center for training funds and have been denied those funds several times on the grounds that I'm not a good candidate for funds for several reasons, such as the fact that they don't believe that the proprietary technology I was familiar with at my previous job is useless in the outside world. It actually is, but the people at the career center don't buy it. I have also been given other poor reasons for their not giving me funds but I don't need to discuss those.
I can't just go and get a nice, decent paying job such as customer service rep because I don't have the attention span for that type of job.
The type of job that I might be able to do, such as programming, is not within my reach because I don't have up-to-date knowledge of programming languages used in the industry.
These little things trigger suicidal ideation. I called my shrink but he is in Cancun. I would go to a psychiatric hospital, but who wants to be involuntarily committed to one of those places. It's not like I am on the verge of killing myself anyway.
I am not asking for support. I am not asking for anyone to tell me everything is going to be okay.
I am just hoping that someone will point me toward a place where a person like me might be able to get help. Therapists have told me they are not career advisors. Career advisors got pissed off at me and asked me how a person as f****d up as me managed to go to college.
Any suggestions on how I could kill myself? No, just kidding.
