Ask HN: Tell me about your problems

[grANDr]

At this moment in my life, I feel I need to help other People to solve their problems, to achieve their goals or make them life easier but I don't know how? I am an IT guy / Web Developer and looking forward to hearing your problems or difficulties in day-to-day life, maybe I can do something. Actually I want to run a business, A MEANINGFUL ONE, and I need an idea. my first goal is not money, I want to do something useful at first.

I am in my mid 20s, currently working a low level job in an edtech company. It took me a while to finish high school and am currently enrolled in a distance learning program to get an IT degree. I haven't been doing too well in that either. I am good with computers and cyber security but I can't seem to pull myself out of the current situation I am in right now. My job is work from home so I stay in all day, get my job done and then play video games. Nobody around me is supportive enough and I feel like the walls are closing in on me. I don't know what to do anymore.

I developed schizoaffective disorder in 2001 from work stress as a programmer analyst. I have been disabled since 2003 because nobody wants to hire a mentally ill man. I am trying to learn Python but my psych drugs make me drowsy and I sleep most of the day. I could work a third shift I suppose.

I can work for cheap because I get a disability check.

Thank you, I get by on disability with my wife as a nurse. Looks like I might have to save money to start up my own business. Nobody will hire me, and it is against the law to discriminate again the disabled or age I am 54.

I'll figure something out, I am trying to write eBooks on Amazon Kindle.

Find big problems first then build a business around it.

One I can think of is the current male loneliness epidemic. So maybe help single men find relationships?
