...if I own a DashCam without car...

OK, you win.

I hope my 2012 car can last the rest of my life, cus the way i am i cant see me ever beeing able to buy a new car.
Actually i think my future is pretty bleak and miserable, i guess thats just parts of having a compound depression with a host of other issues trown on top of it all.

My fate is in the hands of the lotto gods pretty sad

Sad part: they all point in the same direction

I'd install one Cam in the middle, pointing streight forward; one on the left A-Bar, pointing to "2 o'clock" (right forward car-section, incl. "****pit"), on the right A-Bar a Cam pointing to 10 o'clock, one pointing backwards...

(same in the rear)

Have you considered getting a job? Even a modest part time gig of some kind. Might even help your mood and other issues.

They are testing me now to see what i am able to do, but to be honest even pretty mondane stuff 15 houres every week seem to be too much for me

Well, you seem like an intelligent, capable guy and I'll bet there is something you might be able to do that will suit you and bring in some income. Often gainful employment can work unexpected wonders as a catalyst for good things when it comes to mood, productivity, self esteem and all that.

I hear you... Am considered 100% invalid due to severe trauma and posttraumatic stress syndroms, combined with depressions...
Same situation: if they say "car failed inspection" - i'll be pedestrial forever (well - except bycicle, but what difference does THAT make). Of course I'm living "in the country", no big cities in walking-distance... :-/

Good luck! I hope you get at least some help!

@Dashmellow

With depression, the difficulty to find a job (at least in europe - i don't know if there are any support programs --> edit: in the US <--) is not only "oh you were sick with depressions? next please!" from future employers, it's also the problem of the own mind; the "bigger" (harder? severe?) the depression is, the harder it is to "go on"; a depression's not only "feeling empty" all the time; it actually blocks EVERYTHING...

I've been considered 100% invalid for more than 5 years (gosh... and nothing better till now); I've been commercial clark, IT-Admin, Lorry-Driver, even got the licence for small busses (D1). Can't do anything; few weeks ago I had a small "Job" helping out moving. 3 Hours. Been "grounded" for two weeks after that...


BACK TO TOPIC from my side

this is "undestructable" ;-)

Funny thing here is, for some reason older ppl with a lifetime of personal and trade experience is valued less than a young person with the same skills minus time and experience.

I dont get that at all, if i had a company i would forst of all hire old ppl with a wealth of knowledge and experience related to the stuff i wish for them to do.
So here hitting 50 is a major problem, though society expect you to be working for another 17 years ( at least ) , this major conflict of interest baffle me

I am allso looking for full time employment, but its hard for me to see how i can get that to work, but i cant tell without trying i guess.
Anyways even jobs i would be able to do perfect go to some one else, that if if the company even bother to ackknowlege you. 7 out of 10 jobs i apply for i never hear from again, and some of them dont even write back ( mail or other ) saying thank you for your intrest in our company.

So after a fjew weeks hearing nothing you go O well i guess some one else got the job

O and the old way of looking for jobs ( ringing doors and asking for it ) well thats frowned upon here now, seem like no one have time to talk to a skilled person looking for work in ther company

Tip: write applications with "fire and forget"-procedure... Don't expect them to answer - less frustrating that way, more fun when they answer...
...at least you're in denmark; here in switzerland, you hit critical age with 35. ANY branches and professions.

After my 2nd year of unemployment hearing "missing experience" and/or "no academical degree" I started to become zynical... Eg. everytime someone asks for a VC, he gets one - front: my credentials, back -depending on the discussion before, a quote of "Kurt Tucholsky"; he said "Erfahrung heisst gar nichts, man kann seine Sache auch 35 Jahre lang schlecht machen" (Experience means nothing, one can do a bad job for 35 years) or (quote unknown) "Man kann sein leben lang studiert haben und denoch dumm wie Brot sein" (One can study his whole life and remain as stupid as bread)

Actually, THAT brought me some serious Job-Interviews (unfortunatly - I've never made "1st choice")

I understand. I've been there too. My suggestion was basically meant to be encouraging more than anything else with the understanding that everyone's situation can be far more complicated for any number of reasons.

I know buddy, and i agree with you, the best times of my life have allways been when i have been working, and i have done that for the most of my life aside for a "short" period when i was young and dumb.

Sure beeing a couch potato on welfare is also fun, not least if you supplement your "income" with a little criminal activety.
We ( Denmark ) is no longer so wealthy we can give much to ppl on welfare, and it have become less and less as ppl have been finding out that 10.000 if not 100.000 of ppl have misused that system for decades, and the system itself was inadequate and faulty for a long period giving things like erly pension to ppl younger then 30 just becuz they outright dont want to work, or is addicted to somthing ( be that drugs or playing computer games,,,,whatever )

So now the system is made so rigid it hurt the ppl that actually neeed our world famous safty net, but thats gone now, you will not be saved before you hit rock bottom and been there for a while and even then they will make damm sure you dont have much of anything.

But i have been a part of making this as it is, voting for decades, so i recon i deserve the all the misery and grief i get.

I have even tried to challeng the system i am now trapped in, saying well if you ackknowlege you been giving pensions to ppl that did not dererve it for decades, why dont you take those pensions from those lazy mofos and give them to some one that deserve it.
And then i get " no we cant do that " so i see red and have to leave cuz ppl that ackknowlege they have done wrong but refuse to correct those wrongs when its so easy to do, thats not really ppl i dare to be in a room with cuz i outright hate stupid ppl like that.

same over here... it's been even so worse, that the department KNEW it was paying to people without justified claim.

unfortunatly, as normal for departments "nearby" socialists party, they didn't "groom" the department (so at least THEY would work right), no, new target is everyone in need for wellfare; before they considered me 100% invalid, what my doctors, and two "first contact doctors" from the department confirmed, they sent me 8 times (!) for one week to forensic-psychologist into the so called "locked ward". they locked me in for 8 weeks to check if i'm traumatised. "workflow requiered it" - eventough all reports said exactly the same... worst part: department still not working acc. law - they pay a pension, but not the help that would bring me back to a normal life (eg. psychologicst to get over the traumas aso)... because the swiss people-party believed it to be a problem of those in need to fake their problems... so politicans made it worse for the people. but no one is touching the department (would solve the problem: no pension for those who don't need it, help for those who need - would cut down pensions they have to pay...

well - yeah. and meanwhile people like me (between 30 and 40) should build a house, found a family; but more and more an't afford it... worth to say: one of my several traumas comes from the department (as i don't react to well being locked in without reason. and they did it 8 times, this wordthatisnotsupposedtobementionedopenly)

edit:
to show the stupidity: a friend of mine is parapletic after an accident since more than 30 years. as it is common knowledege - as you broke your spine once, you'll never walk again, he has to go to a yearly checkup if his situation changend and he can walk again......

his and mine checkups are MUCH more expensive that the yearly pension costs...

all my liberal friends act like denmark, norway, finland are socialist utopias. I am actually on unemployment right now. I was terminated (the week before xmas), but the state ruled that I did not do anything negligent, and I never had any warnings about my performance (in fact I was getting good comments about my work just the week before). I honestly thought they called me to the office to tell me they were going to move me to another department team yet again. My unemployment comes out to making more than minimum wage if I worked 40 hours a week, but considering my rent and student loans its more like putting my life on pause.

I am looking at it positively though, I have the opportunity to get into a more traffic engineering focused position as opposed to roadway/drainage like I was doing previously.
