In the meantime I'm trying to get approved for unemployment so I can take some time to find the right thing.

I've taken a while to try and figure out what I might be interested and good at, I've currently landed on Psychology working towards counseling and therapy. I start a fully online university transfer program in January. I've started to dig myself out of my depression nest now that I'm not eat-sleep-working.
