Nothing. I just kind of ride it out. Every day.

    Judging by the other answers here you should get a pet. I hope you are seeking help.

    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..

    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!

    A little bit of exercise should help. Start with walks?

    If you we're in my neighborhood I would feed youm that goes for anyone.

    There's that 'lasagna for love' organization, I've never used it, but I've heard about it. Give it a go?

    I hate using Amazon, and I am absolutely on snap, but maybe I could send you some noodles or something? You just set up a list and I can purchase it for you.

    A number of years ago, reddit had that page, idk the name I forgot, but so many people sent us food when we were struggling. I absolutely can pay it forward today. Lmk

    I really do appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. That being said I'm trying to keep a level of animioty between myself and the internet.

    I'm willing to give up that animioty for full time employment if you're in a position to help with that.

    I need a job over a hand out. Once again I very much appreciate the offer.
