    Im not even sure if I have a breaking point anymore, because I could swear if anything it’s behind me already. Im already broke.

      If you really feel that way, don’t be afraid to seek professional help. It can only get better. Hope you’ll get better soon!

        Too many of my problems are material. Therapist says I’m burnt out and need rest/vacation but my student loans say if you stop paying us down you’ll never afford a house. Even paying down principle during the entire interest rate freeze hasn’t gotten me below the original loan balance. I can’t afford to fix it.

          I’ve had conversations with one of my friends during some of my lowest points, and I remember him saying once: “I wonder how many mental illnesses could be cured by just giving people enough money to live comfortably.” There is some great truth there.

          Hang in there, if not just for yourself, then for loved ones and for all the people that share your frustrations and struggles, there always is the possibility of change, there are years in which weeks happen and weeks in which years happen, and behind every strike lurks the possibility of revolution - as soon as opportunity arises, your frustration and helplessness can be directed towards change.

          That’s at least one thing that keeps me sane.

      Do you think you carry on in said broken state, or do you feel OK now that said events (which caused the broken state) are behind you?

        I think humans can adapt to almost anything. Maybe one day all the walls will come crashing down but for now, they haven’t.
