I sometimes have problems trying to get ahead in life such as having my own place to live, my own car, having a girlfriend ect... But I don't know weather to live life on the slow and steady level or be like everyone else and experience everything at a fast speed?

being dx later in life, i feel living in the fast lane has led my anxiety, depression, and burn out issues. i am feeling much better now that i have learned some limits and have stopped trying to meet everyone elses high expectations. not that you can not push yourself, but having boundaries is important.

Work on one thing at a time. Your own place and a car make having a girlfriend easier, so you might want to start with those.

Do you have any independent income - whether from employment of Social Security?
