I need a job. I'm eating less to afford housing. This isn't a case of "my life is fine and I have feelings". I don't have family willing to help me.
I'm hungry and worried about becoming homeless, again. Talking to people does not help me or make me feel better. I've tried, I paid a lot of money for therapy, and they all failed me.
OK, that's fair. Without info it can be hard to tell what type of "shit is bad and I need help" you're in.
I was homeless as a kid, and I hear you on that fear. Like you know that at least it's probably survivable, but also total shit and being constantly on edge and miserable. Especially with shit family. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you. I won't try and pump you up unnecessarily, but at least it sounds like you're trying to think through your options rationally. Keep trying your best, it's all any of us can do.
Feel free to vent or send a DM any time. And hey, at least I just saved you $100 in garbage pretend therapy.
This. Both my wife and I, I am sure have depression, but its not for no reason. Its no ennui and heck its not even everything happening with the country. Its actual daily reality.
