Hey all, 
I'm 27, living at home, and not sure where else to go for advice as finances are more than tight at the moment. I meet almost all of the symptoms of this condition via my limited research. In the past, I've done extremely well for myself scholarly, having earned almost a 4.0 GPA in college at a very accredited university and having had some grad school experience to boot. I think this condition has hit me extremely hard in the last 4 years, as I have dropped out of a PhD program, tried to refocus (working odd jobs and being fired from one), and dealt with/am dealing with alcohol issues. I feel like I should be much more concerned with a lot of the personal relationships I've acquired over the years, and am trying even harder to deal with living with my parents while struggling to keep a straight face. I would love some advice, because I'm personally so lost and don't want them to worry (they are older and not in any shape to bear the stress). Because seeking therapy is not a monetarily viable option for me, any advice to help me work toward feeling normal would be welcome. I'm available for any questions... just not sure what to do.
