For the second year in a row I'm starting to reach meltdown status because of work and finances. Last year it happened when I was finishing up the school year in a really bad housing situation, and was working way too many hours. Basically I slept for the entire summer (not really but probably 12+ hours a day and I was still tired).

This year the same thing is starting to happen albeit a bit later. I either don't make enough money to afford my essentials, or I push my Asperger's and anxiety disorders into overdrive working way too many hours, way too many days a week (average 35/6 now... I find anything over 30 for me is very very difficult). It's not helping that my new client (I do respite and hab... Only thing I an qualified for where people will actually hire me) is harder than any client I have worked with before... But morning hours are so hard to get so...

Parents think I should just move back, but that's never been a good option in the past and I won't be able to get any of the same work there most likely (won't need as much of it... But still) as they live in smaller cities and that means less client potential. So yea... Any advice?

I think medications that help you talk more might help with interviews like Adderall. But when I get overwhelmed I go for an hour walk and I feel less anxious afterwards.
