I'm feeling a bit desperate. I have a bachelors degree, but it isn't from a very good school, and it's in business administration. I work part-time shelving at a book store. I live with my parents.
I'm skinny-fat and almost completely bald. My life is miserable, and does not feel worth living. Oh yeah, I'm a recovering drug addict and have borderline personality disorder.

I hurt my back about a month ago at work, and it convinced me that I have to change.

I tried to get into med school, even osteopathy school, but couldn't get in.

I want to be an inventor, but I have no money, no technical background. All I have is hundreds, maybe a thousand, product ideas written down.

I'm not particularly dumb, I scored well on the MCAT and GRE. But my terrible early show at college made getting into medical school impossible. And a business degree doesn't seem to have opened any doors besides hassling people for new jobs or new insurance, and I don't like making unsolicited calls.

I don't even know where to start to improve my life. I started running and lifting weights, and that makes me feel better.

But basically, I don't even know where to start to improve my life, and I don't even know if I have the belief in my own efficacy to try. Well, that isn't true. I want to try.
