I struggled with severe mental illness and developmental/maturity delays all throughout my life, even well into my 20s. I didn't get my first real, serious girlfriend until age 29, whom I am now engaged to. Now at 30, I realize my life up to this point has been very turbulent. I have a high school diploma, but lack a degree. My most recent roles have been in tech, but I was fired back in July of last year and haven't recovered in my career since. Yet, the tech landscape has changed so drastically these past 4-5 years that my once high-in-demand skills are becoming the skills of yesterday.

Where it stands today, I continue to collect disability checks and Medicare while I move back to my mom's house in search of my next career move. Fortunately, I have my own living space at my mom's house so it doesn't become awkward for my fiance.
