I have tried mindfulness. I get really agitated really quickly because I am not doing something actively. I then stopped. Is that all normal?

So if you plan to cooperate fully then that's fine. But you will likely lose a ton of customers.
EKG's have always been normal as has blood work when I did go to the ER. At my primary care doctor EKG's have also always been normal.
I have been in CBT and getting better but I have to say your post kinda opened a wound. The reason being my primary care doctor says I don't need a stress test and that the prior ones are good enough. She says given my age of 29 and risk factors there's just no reason for it. So far she's been right. Over the last 12 years the hundreds of times I have had chest pain I am not dead yet.
I guess now you have me a tad worried. My primary care doctor and her colleagues have been so convinced at times when I show up with chest pain they don't even think a EKG is necessary.
For some of us if it's not FOSS it's not going to be used.
It's actually pretty darn great.
Thats all I really care about. I don't need to be fed opinion, especially not social liberal ramblings from the NYT or WSJ. If I want to know more about something, I read a book on the matter.
anyway, most studies show being fat is far healthier than being skinny or morbidly obese.

No employer in their right mind would hire anybody in any of those disciplines without the proper education, it simply does not happen. It used to happen in engineering, but those cases were very rare and now it doesn't anymore.
Then we move onto programing. Well, sure one could learn all of this stuff themselves. But, can a self taught programmer really say he knows all of the math to program physics modeling software? What about working on programs like autocad and pro engineering. What about MatLab and Mathematica.
Huge fields of projects, you are essentially negating yourself from, solely because you have no proven ability to do higher math and likely haven't put in the years of time it takes to become good at that math.
Though for the rest of us, with non anglo last names who didnt go to a top 25 school, its much harder.
This girl was just chasing that.
I designed my own soda machine, calculator and even designed/created a real world solution which companies were interested in, though I cant mention because it would be me not anonymous.
I was not a computer engineer, I was a CS student. My school also had computer engineering, but I was not really interested in the EE stuff.
I took all of the Math that engineers take, and I took the Engineering Chemistry and Engineering Physics.
Due to my CS dept being a subset of the engineering dept, the goals were the same. Everything was problem solving. Every class had its set of rigorous problems, which students had to succeed at or they simply would not pass.
I learned Algorithms, internal Operating systems, Complexity, Computation, fundamentals of Programming languages, distributed systems, organization, Computer Architecture, VSLI/HDL, etc. Im sure you get the point.
I personally think I bring a good bit to the table, as do the other few graduates that survived the curriculum.
You very well may find a more well rounded candidate than myself from the non traditionally educated pool, but they will be few. If you lump all CS graduates in the same pool, you are doing yourself a disservice. While yeah, somebody from a Java school may suck. What do you say to a candidate like myself, who really can bring what you need to the table. Do you just cross me off the list because I have a CS degree. If so, I think its you who may need to recalibrate.
Sure pure engineers and physicists may be good programmers, but do they understand the inner workings of a computer? Do they understand complexity, even the basic data structures. I assume you want efficiency?
