All of this just to stop the sniffles or fatty deaths.

Sucks. The brain of a suicidal person, at least temporarily, sees things with a much different sort of logic. Sucks.

It’s a time people with gumption and a decent head in their shoulders will shine. Just keep your mind and all options open.

That sucks, man. I truly hope something works out.

You can always go back to being a gay porn fluffer. I know no one likes taking a step back and starting over but sometimes you have to.

JK, P...I truly hate to hear that you're in this position. Prayers for you!

my last contract that ended on 3-3 paid me 20% of what I was owed

since I'm self-employed there's no extended unemployment

I'll be BROKE ZERO $$s in 2.5-3 months no way around it

it is stressful


Man that sucks, I hate to hear it. I know a few people barely hanging on. I gphave a friend who owns a cruise line, and they're struggling like hell. He spent 20 years building from scratch.

I think we'll be back open pretty soon. You'll just be one of many of us that'll be screwed if this drags on for months. Good luck man.

Dude, I was there once. Remember I was a spec home builder and RE investor when the great recession hit. I lost nearly everything. I only had a few notes I financed for people and that little gas station I owned left but creditors were calling. I was depressed as hell for a few years but I dug out and am financially, personally, and spiritually much stronger now. Considering where it brought me, I wouldn't trade the experience at all.

You just have to keep moving forward as best as you can.

The only thing I can do is speak from an experience of hitting bottom. Been there but if you need to talk then you have my email.

Yea this is true. I respect what you've built for yourself. Crazy that after this many years this is what stops your momentum. Scary really.
