... Well, my comparative literature supervisor was in a car accident, now in the hospital, and I seem to be very suddenly out of work.

Whether we're able to work something out or not, I'm really, really hoping she ends up okay.

That's a hell of a way to lose a job. Good luck to her, and by extension, you as well.

I remember thinking, "I wish Summer would hurry up and end so I could wear long sleeves without looking crazy and smelling worse," and now it's Winter and I'm eating those words. Waking up with a sore throat and runny nose EVERY. FREAKING. MORNING is not fun.

I really, really hate my job. But thanks to high unemployment, if I quit it I'll be getting lectured for the rest of my life by everyone that knows me and a lot of people that don't, and I really hate that too. Frankly it seems like the least painful decision here is to simply do myself in.

I feel very incompetitive for good schools. :/ __constant academic woes__

Who says you need to quit to look for other jobs?

[DJ]

Well, there's no other jobs to look for. Between enduring for another ~35 years here and not living for another ~35 years, the latter is looking like a more attractive choice.

Can't you... get out of there? Go somewhere else? If life is that soul-crushing where you are, that would seem like a better option to me. If you feel so tied down that your only option is to keep slaving away doing what you hate, it might be a good idea to re-evaluate the importance of just what it is you're tied to.
People often feel that they're stuck somewhere, that they have to stay where they are out of some sense of place/duty.
Bollocks to that, I say. As the saying goes, "When times get tough, leave the tough to suffer through it and hit the road to someplace better".

The whole country is the same, and migrating to a better one is kinda hard if you're not a doctor or something. And yeah, I'm running on nothing but duty to other people these days. I've been wrecking my brain trying to think of one single reason for living, and I couldn't come up with anything other than other people's wants and needs. I just don't really want anything. Hell, I'm not even spending the money I'm making on this job, last month I loaned a month's salary to a friend and I was perfectly aware that he's never going to pay me back.

Where are you from?

you sir

you are whom i feel

and i do so deeply

i'm just going to say, if you don't have the balls to save up six months' salary and try and strike a new life, you won't have the balls to end the old one. no, legit, i ain't testing you with this one. it takes either mania or sheer willpower

do me a favor and try the former so i have something to look forward to, an actual relatable example

All the more reason to pull up your roots and find a reason for living, then.
In my current situation I don't really have any reasons for living, either, but I'm aware that there are reasons out there.
For now I'm stagnating, but I'm confident that before too long I'll get sick of this and do something to change it. That's what most people do- it's just important to make sure that said change is a positive change when it comes, not just ending your life or something to escape your problems.

If it weren't for the fact that we live on opposite sides of the world, you could move in to that apartment I've been eyeing off in my city and we could both have a change for the awesome, heh. Basically though, there is always something good in the world if you keep an eye out for it, even if most of it is pretty shit.

Yesterday sucked.
I got pushed off the bed, then ended up getting hut in the ribs twice, and it hurt the whole day.
Then took my cats to the vet, when my older cat got a shot, the needle broke off inside him. Thankfully there was still enough sticking out to pull it out, though. Also, my younger cat has asthma.
Then took my wife to the doctor and she nearly fainted because they had so much trouble taking her blood.
I had planned to go to the library at some point, but because of everything taking so long, I never got to. And then I had my last visit with my friend and I'll never see them again, and they won't have access to the Internet for multiple months.
