Default I Hate My A/c!!!!!!

I need help!!!! OK heres the skinny! I have the EATC system in my truck. In the mornings it winds up blowing out of the defrost and condenses on my windshield to the point that I have to drive with the windshield wipers on. In the afternoon it seems like it doesn't blow cold unless I am up to highway speed. Sitting in traffic it doesn't blow very cold at all. I figured it needed a recharge so I got this new thing from Wallyworld that has the gauge built into the hose and stuff. When i hooked it up it went pass the "green" area into "yellow" which says the sytem needs to be checked by a mechanic or something likke that. Green was supposed to be the perfect area, yellow appeared to be overcharged but not in the red whick is oh Crap zone.
Oh yeah and I still haven't found the vaccuum leak on the thing which send everything up through the defrost so I have the blend door held open so it will blow through the vents.
Does anyone have any advice at all?? It would be so appreciated. I am pretty mechanically able, just don't have the time to leave it at a shop or anything.

Thanks guys!!!

Sounds like either the compressor is going bad or there is a blockage in the system. Take it to a qualified shop for diagnosis.
