> I have trouble making major decisons, I feel paralyzed and when I attempt to move forwards I get overwhelmed. I do not tolerate stress at all. I am always chronically bored and restless but yet I have no motivation to pick myself up. Somtimes I get really "down". I feel like a useless human being. every day is like killing time. Iam dependent on my parents, because I cant hold down a job, cant take instructions well and my mind wanders alot. I dont feel connected to the world. I get really scared sometimes. I hear all these stories from people on board who say they suffer from mental illness but they have all these great jobs, a mate. Me, I have nothing.

Congratulations! You are the first person to have succinctly described 90 percent of the posters on this board (and about 60 percent of the rest of the suckers on this planet), no mean feat, I might add. You may pick up your 1972 Pinto at any time. :-)Seriously: you have more than you think. First off, you are cognizant of the fact that you may have a problem, and, secondly, you clearly recognize and define this problem in terms of symptoms. Thirdly, you have the spirit and courage to post on this board as a way of asking for help. So, you see, your "presence of mind," as distorted as you may perceive it to be, does count as "something" and for "something."
You need to see a real-live professional to talk this thing out.
The best to you, elderweissblue (nice moniker!)
