    When they rigged the system against you after squeezing every last bit of resources for themselves, then acted like you were just irresponsible and don’t get why you’re horribly depressed being left with a hopeless wad of shit behind every corner and under every stone

      It’s like all the good advice got monetized and now all that’s left is wage slavery or a creative path to getting your chin above water.

          Unfortunately, I learned this after I took on a few thousand in student debt. It took a hell of a lot of work, and it certainly isn’t for everyone, but I’m now a self-taught front-end web dev making a decent salary. The trick is to learn some kind of skill and know it like the back of your hand.

      I was 48 before things started turning around for me. It’s amazing what finally getting a stable job and sleep can do for mental health.

      I hope you find what meets your needs, friend.

      For me, life goes in cycles. Some cycles are really bad, some are good (or awesome) and some are bland and/or neutral. As I get older, life is getting more steady and predictable and things don’t bother me as bad as they used to.

      For me, I am not nearly as stupid as I used to be. Combining that with not being a drunk anymore, I don’t do too many things I regret these days. That is nice, I suppose.
