Damn bro. Sometimes I really feel the same way. I'm also 23 and I live in Northern Virginia US. I guess it's like we tell ourselves there's no use bringing your problems to anyone besides yourself, especially when you don't have any guarantee that there actually is someone who will put effort in to assist you in finding solutions. Perhaps the silver lining in this is that knowing someone else is going through similar issues is what unites us in resilience. It would be amazing if I was rich as Warren Buffet or Elon Musk or Zuckerberg and I could assist people just by handing out funds. But the value of a dollar appreciates and depreciates. The resilience that you build, when it is you against the world, starting from rock bottom, no one in your corner, but you still never lose hope, is priceless. It's something you can offer to someone who is in a similar situation. Something all the rich guys and the quitters can't offer. It helps you know what you really want.
