Don't compare yourself to other people. Just try to improve upon yourself. Set smaller goals, so you can feel a pattern of success and build some confidence (which you'll need with the ladies, and getting a job). A cover page on your resume with your sob story and some positive inspirational messages about how you don't give up might help get you in the door with prospective employers. Just try to be happy. If you're upset or depressed, it shows, and people don't want to be around that.
