I’m 18 and f****d up so bad with drugs and s**t, I now have bipolar and am on disability with no friends and I feel hopeless, people who didn’t go to college what did you do?
I tried a few jobs. I was not suited to direct sales, but stuck with that for about a year in order to see how other families lived. I hitchiked out to the coast, and then half-way back, and started a craft store with a few partners. I really enjoyed art metalwork, but barely made a living. Then I volunteered with a group giving free meditation lessons for a few years, until they stopped growing. Taking stock of my talents and interests, I then focussed on engineering for a more benign technology. I won prizes, but couldn't get a business going well. Then I studied the people I'd met who had not seemed to make sense until I found ancient subconscious patterns that are not in the textbooks yet. Along the way, I did a lot of "extra-odd jobs" - ones that the specialists didn't want. Some were disasters, but many were quite edifying. Doing my own work saved me vast amounts of money, as did using a bicycle. I did some property management, appliance repair, display work, and helicopter accessories.
