      I’m glad you are open about it. That’s a good thing. Are you open about it to anyone close to you in your life? Or not close to you? A therapist even?

        I’ve been out of work since April. Trump stop funding the government department that employed me. Instead he sends troops to cities. As an American I can’t afford a therapist. Even if I had insurance I’ve had nothing but bad experience with therepy. I don’t have family that will help me. I’m going hungry most days to stretch my budget.

        In a couple months I turn 40.

          I’m sorry this is happening to you. Maybe you could live with someone as a room mate until things turn around.

          How’s job hunting? Are you active in that?

          I hope your birthday will be a good day, buddy. Cheers!

        Pets annoy the hell out me. I hate animals to a point where I became a vegetarian years ago. I’m not trolling, I’m 100% serious.

          I don’t hate animals, but pets are expensive. Just spent $225 yesterday on an ear infection. My cat has an allergy we cant figure out. We can’t afford it. Recommending a pet to even a person who likes animals, but stuggles financially isn’t good advice.

          This is my first pet, and I probably won’t get another just because cost is high for vet care and food/litter. We have two cats and we spend probably $200 a month or more just for necessities before vet visits. Flea/tick meds are monthly and $100 just for the two of em. So make that $300 a month on necessities, aye…
