Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

You alright?
Nope.
I'm glad you are open about it. That's a good thing. Are you open about it to anyone close to you in your life? Or not close to you? A therapist even?
I've been out of work since April. Trump stop funding the government department that employed me. Instead he sends troops to cities. As an American I can't afford a therapist. Even if I had insurance I've had nothing but bad experience with therepy. I don't have family that will help me. I'm going hungry most days to stretch my budget.
In a couple months I turn 40.
Judging by the other answers here you should get a pet. I hope you are seeking help.
Pets annoy the hell out me. I hate animals to a point where I became a vegetarian years ago. I'm not trolling, I'm 100% serious.
