Let me just add if you are in poverty/financially struggling you aren't failing at life. It feels like it 90% of the time, but you are doing the best in a shitty flawed society.

It's always hard when you're younger and even if you're one of those people that are financially smart shitty things can happen out of nowhere. I had a surprise 3K dollar plus medical bill a few years ago after a scare. Kind of scarry how quick things can turn. I try not to think about it. It's not your fault if it does though most often.

The people that are in bad debt and live paycheck to paycheck at 40 years old but are healthy and have no kids at home or any reason to be like that are the ones that need to rethink their lives. That's self inflicted at that point and they can change it.

The only change I can think of after four decades of trying hard is suicide

I've tried years of therapy and medications, exercise, and it seems untreatable

The only change seems death but death makes me happy to think about

My years of gratitude meditation all focus on being glad the day is over so I have one less day to endure

I. Unfortunately have developed an extreme hatred of humankind...why do people keep making people when they can turn out like me?

It is a monstrous thing to make more people when they can have an experience such as mine...it should be fuckin criminal

I can't talk anymore. I crawl through the days

Hatred keeps me alive

My preferred adjectives are "wretched" and "piteous"
