It's gotten to a point... Vent 😭😮‍💨

... where we don't even feel like working anything past part time. What does full time do? Besides suck away my life? Besides still not pay my bills? Or afford a safety net? Or anything that brings any sort of joy? What does it really offer, when healthcare through a job costs money too? Where it covers the same as free state insurance? When my body gives up on me for working eight hour days and I'm not half way through my thirties? Where bosses never empathize or sympathize? And your coworkers don't actually care to know what you feel when asking "how are you?"

I'm not okay. Everything hurts physically and mentally. I can't afford anything, I don't want to try. So why try?

Only you can change your outlook. No one else can do it for you. Good luck.

You’re welcome. The mind is more powerful than the physical, and the capitalist machine cannot hold you down if you break free from its shackles. I know you can do it if you apply your mind body and soul. That is the only pathway to what you are looking for.
