In my 20s I accomplished so much, I had completed my masters degree, bought/sold two homes, bought/sold my two cars, paid off my loans, and had a good paying job that made a difference in peoples lives. After 10 years of putting my life into my work and ended up losing myself mentally and physically. I am now back home with my parents, probably going to get a divorce, have no home/car, and mentally/physically so weak. I can’t bare to live like this anymore. I’m in my 30s now. And I don’t look forward to growing old. I pray that I will die with no pain and soon. Nobody in my family nor friends understand, but are doing their best to help. But I just don’t see the point of living. Nothing brings me joy anymore and faking being happy for so long, I can no longer fake it. I feel and look miserable.

Hey, im in my 20s, graduating master's degree and going back to mom's even though she's toxic. I just can't make it. Crying over the only relationship i ever had, will die alone. Struggling with the inflation and getting a job and a place with my mental illness. Best i can do is give up and ho to mom's and listen to what a failure i am. Health and mental health before anything. I hope we recover and try again

And you shouldn't have to fake it...for what it's worth your life has value...you have value...just need to figure out what it is now....maybe instead of going 'against the current' going with it for a while...nothing you discussed sounds permanent. .you can overcome anything you set your mind to
