Dont get me wrong. I appreciate the perspective, but damn I am a senior executive with a Fortune 500 company and am working my balls off since shite hit the fan, and I aint even considered essential. Therefore envious af.

If I were you I would be wearing out my life-like sex doll, hammered everyday, and grilling my arse off. shite, go adopt a dog, or cat if thats your style. At least if you off yourself, a dog may miss you for a day or so.

You have ZERO liabilities, enjoy it. There are alot of individuals, particularly small business owners, tourism related workers, and those with dependents, that are in a worse position.

Pro-tip: Ignore the shitastic MSM, they are likely fueling your desire to suck start a shotgun (even though you deny it repeatedly).

What is going on now sucks. Remember, we still have men alive who fought in World War II. 16 million Americans, 11% of our population, fought in that war. Well over 400,000 died. As a percentage of the population, that would be over 1,000,000 today. The US recovered then and we will recover from this. It won’t happen overnight but we will.

True for the most part. I actually do work in the tourism related field but luckily we are being paid and not laid off.

The thing is, I know most of what I said isn't rational or true. I know it's just rambling. The struggle I have is that the rational part of my brain knows that it's not true, but the emotional side of my brain truly believes it.

I just don't know how to shut off those negative feelings and the anxiety that I feel. I know I suffer from both real and imagined anxiety.

I've probably suffered from depression symptoms off and on for several years now and I think this has just pushed it over the edge.

All I can tell you is that if you want to change your circumstance, you have to do something different.

Think about what you want, and then make a plan to go get it. Don't just talk about it or think about it. Actually do it.

You mentioned you were working out and were seeing progress. You didn't just magically get into better shape. You decided to make a change and work out, and you went out and did it. It's the same with anything. You have to decide to make a change and go for it. 35 is young. Decide on a change and go for it. That's my advice.

Ironically what gets me is that I use the Hinge site sometimes and I actually have found a woman who is my age and seems very nice and friendly. And she seems genuinely interested as well. Makes it that much worse I can't actually meet her in person. She has a positive outlook that I think I need in my life, she's even laughed at how crazy this whole thing is but that she can't wait for it to be over so we can meet up for a Taco Tuesday (she seems to love almost any type of Mexican food, she's even joked that she'll pay for the tacos if I pay for the drinks and luckily we have the same taste in drinks, lol).

I’m likely going to find out I have liver cancer tomorrow. Your weak and don’t even know stress. Screw a flu virus. Grow some balls and go make something of your life.

Go outside for a run, get some exercise. Maybe listen to a humorous podcast about toilet paper hoarding or something while you run. I'm pretty sure parks and such are still open.

Nah life is too short to worry about what you can’t control. Make the best of the situation. I’ve been doing some fishing to get out of the house.

Dude you need to plan something exciting. Plan a trip.

Just because you cant go now doesn't mean you can't plan it now.

It will give you something to look forward to. Being single has it's advantages. Use them. Do exciting shite.

I'm sorry to hear that but just so you know I do suffer from medical issues as well, a part of why I think I suffer from depression. I am Asthmatic and had a bad case of Strep Pneumonia that put me in the hospital for 2 1/2 days a little over 2 years ago. I know if I get this Coronavirus it probably won't be pretty, luckily I haven't gotten it yet.

My Asthma has flared up before on flights which has caused me to become afraid of flying, though I think my Pulmonologist thinks its in my head. My Asthma is mostly under control but it's still there.

Never mind I suffer from hemorrhoids as well and nothing has truly solved them.
Even at 35 I've already had an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy which luckily ruled out any type of Colon Cancer, but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before I get Colon Cancer.

Bruh you need some gratitude in your life. Instead of looking at all the bad shite look at the little things you should be grateful for. I didn’t get married til I was 36, wife is pregnant now. I’ll be 40 with my first kid fml

Just trying to say I do have medical issues as well so it's not like I can't relate at all.

When I had Strep Pneumonia 2 years I was coughing so hard my throat swelled up and I could barely breathe. I was on oxygen for half a day and in ICU for a day. Even the doctors admitted I was in bad shape. For half of a day I actually thought I might die.

Needless to say I imagine I could easily die if I get Coronavirus so even with his liver cancer I could die before him. I feel bad for him regardless, it's a horrible thing to have to face.

You and Boo Krewe need to hang out together. Then find the posters that were convinced LSU was going the Alabama game when we never trailed for one second. That should be an uplifting and motivating conversation.

We are Americans. Our culture is to win at all cost. We never think about losing. We only know how to prevail.

Get it together.

Everyone has medical issues at some point in their life. You're comparing some pretty minimal shite to something extremely serious, and it makes you look like an idiot.
