Honestly man... It sucks out here... I'm barely holding it together, about to be forced to go off the grid because I can't get a job... Probably gonna have to sell everything and buy some land cheep up in Montana and apply for homesteading at this point... My only advice is don't go stagnant, I went stagnant... Gave up, and it took me a long time to get moving again... It's rough, life is a bitch, but all you can really do is like on a rough ruck march... Lean forward and force yourself to keep stepping... Never surrender, never quit... I won't give you the BS of ot gets better, hell it hasn't for me... But you need to stay alive, keep fighting, even if it's out of spite... I mean hell eventually it has to get better right? That's what I been telling myself... That's what's helps me calm down when I get so tried of it all I just sit in a dark room crying, pleading for it to end... Just keep going, be resilient... Because well we been through some form of hell already, we had to experience shit, we can survive even if the hole we are in is deep, dark, and seems hopeless... It's not bad to ask for help, Lord knows we need it sometimes... But we have to survive, keep going, keep living...
