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.
