Biden wants to send another $50 Billion to Ukraine while parents of newborn babies can't find formula or afford it. The stock market is crashing. The crypto market won't stop dropping. I'm watching my money disappear in real time because I bought into the HODL meme. I can barely afford to buy groceries so I've been eating crappy fast food meal deals for the past 2 weeks and obviously got digestive problems because of it.

My hours at work are getting cut because of supply chain issues and I'm afraid I won't have a job by the end of the year because the temp workers may replace me and 11 other full-time employees because the owners of my company are talking about serious cutbacks and layoffs.

It's gonna be over for me soon. I don't know how much longer I can keep my head above water but I've been struggling my whole life - not just as an adult. I'm extremely stressed out and tired of everything. I don't even have the energy to get angry - I just laugh nervously because I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

No family. No friends. No woman. No car. I don't have anything except my crappy apartment and my job.

From the outside looking at what you have described, I'd say you have it good. You don't have a family depending on you for food, you don't have a house that you are in jeopardy of losing. If your hours are being cut, you have more time to get food. Get a fishing rod and catch yourself some free food. If you are near the coast, dig up some clams (you only need something like 5 a day to sustain yourself). Perhaps you have some community gardens nearby (usually under power lines or other "wasted" space. Get some seeds and plant yourself some food for down the road. Maybe you could work as a farm hand and stay in their guest house? You'd get to learn a valuable skill, be outdoors all day, getting exercise and you'll sleep well at night.
