I feel so empty and very little, if anything, brings me joy.  I go between feeling nothing and feeling incredibly sad. It doesn’t feel worth it anymore.  

I can barely hold a conversation with my girlfriend, which is crushing.  I want her to be happy and it feels like I’m always a bummer. 

I’m 29 and not financially independent and I have no idea when that will change.  I’m so tired of hoping anything will get better. I wish I could close my eyes and have it all go away.
