41. I live in Central Florida ...

so I'm not doing too well .. and by "not too well", I mean that a month ago I called a suicide hotline … I was upset that I could not reach anyone to fix a problem I had with the online unemployment system. I talked to them for maybe 10 mins and then thanked them for talking to me and hung up. … They did not help at all, but in the 10 mins I calmed down … and have since solved the online issue myself (more or less), and I finally have some money coming in from unemployment. I have a rather morbid sense of humor, and I later told a friend, that I was glad to have some money coming in, so that if I felt suicidal again, at least I could afford a gun.

My mental health has taken a real hit in the last 2 months … and the way things are going in this state, I think the worst is yet to come.
