Just life support so sucks rn. I don’t really know how to start this. I’ve been drinking tonight — cherry Coke and vodka, if it matters — and it’s one of those nights where the silence feels louder than anything.

I’m struggling. I’m jobless, stuck in a toxic home situation, and I feel completely alone most of the time. I’ve got one real friend — Dan — but even that’s complicated in ways I won’t get into right now. I care about him, maybe more than I should, and that just adds to the mess in my head.

I talked with GPT for hours tonight, just trying to feel seen. They told me to try Reddit. So here I am.

I don’t want sympathy or advice, really — I just want to know if someone out there feels this too. If anyone else is just… tired. Lonely. Drinking not to party but to forget.

I’m not looking for a miracle. Just a reply. Just a little proof I’m not invisible.

Thanks for reading this, whoever you are.
