I would give anything to move abroad, but im into little to no things it takes to actually do so. And when I read about it, it seems a bit reasonable, but I lose all interest and motivation right there. Doubt myself and the usual.

I hate being american so much to where I want to do. I don't feel like writing much cause I feel pretty tired right now, but still Its become some sort of dysphoria for me. I feel inferior and I even hope to die in my sleep. I just wish that I were born European.

I do learn languages and I'm well aware of the issues over there.

I wonder to god why I was born here, but I know god doesn't really work like that or see things that way. So I probably pray.

I feel inferior literally

I don't relate to the history or culture (as if there is any) at all.

And some other stuff.

And I apologize if this seems very excessive. Its just really how I feel.

I'm with you. I've been feeling especially shitty the last few months. For me it's been the expenses. My monthly costs are going up faster than my pay, and earlier this year I consolidated some debts to make it more manageable and hopefully get out from under it, but now I'm racking up the balance on the credit card I was trying to eliminate in the first place.

All day yesterday, my head was full of unhealthy thoughts. For example, they were doing work on the building I work in and I fantasized about them REALLY messing something up and just blowing up the whole damn thing with me in it.

If you need someone to chat deeper with, hit me up, I could probably use the company myself. Best wishes to you!
