thanks. Still fucking sucks. With everything else that's going on right now, adding unemployment to the issue is REALLY pushing me closer to the edge.
Anon, I guess my point was that at least working made me feel productive in some ways. Like I was contributing. Right now ... not so much. Yeh, we are all just insignificant like a number in some ways, BUT that is YOUR number and you do the best you can with it. Those important to you will remember and respect you for your accomplishments even though sometimes we cannot see that. If its a life change you are looking for, get started and look at your current situation as temporary. Maybe that'll help. Again, sorry.

Anon, three or four people here have said, basically, see if there is one little thing you can change to give yourself something to look forward to. If you find it difficult or impossible to get the energy together to do that then you may well be clinically depressed and a trip to your doctor would be just the thing. If you feel "meh, why bother" about that suggestion then you should definitely go.
I know this sounds flippant, but all of us (so far) that have chipped in with comments on your plight have our own experience to draw on. We really have been there .... And we care about you.

Life can be a real shitter sometimes anon. I don't have any better advice than what's been said already.
I really hope you can turn things around for yourself. Sometimes it really is as simple as changing your attitude towards some things, but other times you have to make changes externally. I guess only you know which it has to be in order for you to get through. Whichever way you go, I'm sure you have friends here who can help you through this time. xx

I burned myself last week. Fucking carelessness on my part, was cooking and splashed some hot oil out of the pan, onto my hand and onto my bare foot. fucking ouch. First pair was the night of the crime (friday), second pair is rfn. My hand's feeling ok. The thin skin over the burn was chafed off by my gloves during the hike. My foot came through the hike fine, but I recently lost the skin over that burn too. It hurts and my foot's swelling. I just want it to dry out and skin over, but that's not happening very fast. Upsetting and painful.

Yuck V. Just yuck.
You need to get something to dry that out with, and be really careful it doesn't get infected. That's the biggest problem with burns like that. Hope it gets better soon though. It looks really painful.

Yes, particularly on the foot where Pseudomonas infections (green ooze, awful smelly, ugh !) can get started and can be hard to treat.

Dude, a couple of those are serious burns. You need them treated.

It helps to have something to look forward to...until it gets there. and then what? you need SOMETHING ELSE to look forward to. It NEVER ENDS. Find your peace now. don't look for salvation in the Future. I hope you can find your way to peace within your present self. That's where you can be happy. I know I harp on that a lot, but it really helped me, and I want others to get that same kind of help. Read The Power of Now. Or go Buddhist. Your Life is different than your Situation. It's not you... there's nothing to quit.
