As someone with a learning disability, I feel if someone had taught me how to deal with that, I would have been alot better off.
It is common sense that when you make mistakes that you know most people aren't making and you have no explanation, that you're going to get depressed.
Anyway, I am sorry you feel you wasted all that money. That must be a horrible feeling.
