In short, I'm miserable, lonely, and broke. I need to get the fuck out of California and into someplace with rent less than $1000 a month. I also need to find a job that gets me like $25 an hour. I'm good at data entry and formwork and I have a really great voice I have no idea what to do with. I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing and I suck ass at all the important parts of being a person, and all the people who try to help me can't help me or I don't get it because I got the full power of the spectrum radiating inside of my forebrain and it's fucking me up.

I've tried budgeting with spreadsheets and it doesn't work for me. I've tried looking for work but it's a brand new hell every time I open the browser. I hate this. I fucking hate that mental illness fucked me up when I was supposed to figure out my life and now that I'm finding a bit of peace within myself I still have to contend with all the things everyone else has to do and recognizes as shitty but somehow get done while I just suck ass at everything.

Help me.

    Most people who fit that description I know do skilled call center work. I don't know how poorly that pays in the US but you can get an above poverty level wage here in Australia thanks to unions. It's good for neurodiverse people bcs you can work from home and have subway surfer going at the same time. You're constantly switching tasks due to calls so ADHD is an advantage

        I can emphasize with that. If my boss just gave me work and fucked off for the week I'd be much better off than my current situation of stop start jolts on 5 different projects along with random 1 minute calls throughout the day about things that are in emails he hasn't read yet.
