You must have missed the part where I said every problem I ever have basically is money related. When you're broke, that is always the problem. Rent, food, utilities, gas, insurance, ect. And when it is hard to be healthy with all the stress caused by being broke, at least mentally. Physically sure and I'm in alright physical shape. Mentally I have been doing better after finally convincing a doctor I had ADHD. Better is far from perfect but not constantly feeling like I'm drowning. I definitely think everyone should get their mental health taken care of first and foremost. But even then, stress from being broke is real. And no offense, but your response sounds similar to a lot of councilors and doctors I have seen through the years and said anxiety = depression instead of not being able to focus = stress combined with going to several doctors and telling them this, and them prescribing basically every antidepressant known to man before finally actually listening to the words coming out of my mouth. No, going to the river or lake will not make my problems go away or me stop thinking about them. No that antihistamine that will put me to sleep will not improve my anxiety when my anxiety is about real problems. Before it was being able to focus and money. Nowadays it is just money Edit: still upvoted because the overall message was positive

Congress passes yet another spending bill - $95 billion for Ukraine/Israel, which includes: Israel $26.3B Total - Defensive activities = $13.0B - Humanitarian aid = $9.2B So, we pay to help blow everyone up - And then we pay to fix it all. Looks good to me! Sidenote: That seems like a hell of a lot of money for humanitarian Aid?

I was a non-profit loss mitigation counselor at the time. I remember when the first few people trickled in (loss-mit wasn’t apart of the job at that time and I had no clue how what I was doing.) The boss said, call the bank & negotiate. So that’s what I learned to do. Eventually Obama’s program rolled out and changed / automated the game, but I met ALL KINDS of people & it was truly wild. You become a family & marriage counselor, ppl at the end of their rope. I helped save thousands of homes in those years & had piles of letters from people thanking me. One older woman left me her collection of newspaper clippings from her career as an opera singer in NY when she died, and another person asked me if they could leave their dog to me in their will. (I’m 100% not joking.). One man wrote me a letter telling him I gave him his manhood back as he felt like he couldn’t provide for his family, and I enabled him to do so. Ppl lost their entire retirement portfolio, lots of builders & sub-contractors in the area filing bankruptcy. Half built homes left standing and the people who were buying it not sure what to do. Hard to even explain the chaos & desperation.

This is almost exactly me.
