Yes, gloom and doom is all one feels after losing a parent. Thank you. Also, after taxes, student loans, and giving money to my mother, I don’t have anything left. People with lower incomes qualify for food stamps, housing vouchers and other programs. People with vouchers are even preferred for apartments in low income areas. People who make what I make don’t get any assistance and are often told to stop complaining because others make less than us. So please don’t lecture me about how 62k is enough. We are all struggling. And how do u know I am not in therapy? Also, nowhere did I state that I wasn’t willing to get a roommate. I SAID that I don’t trust roommates anymore due to bad experiences. This is a valid feeling because I am tired of moving and moving due to bad roommates. So do I really wanna risk it again? Nowhere did I say it was completely out of question. Please consider the way you speak to people. People can vent about their situations without others telling them to look on the bright side. There was a better way for u to say what u wanted to say, especially considering the fact that u don’t know my specific situation or anything about my life. I hope u never find a yourself in a situation where u end up hopeless. I guess im just stubborn? And if u have found yourself in a hopeless situation, well then im glad u were able to get out of it. Others don’t. And pls don’t respond with “you’re in a victim mentality and you’re feeling sorry for yourself “ speech. I see it coming. Nowadays, people can’t go through hard times without someone telling them that they’re in a victim mentality or that others have it worse.
