>>60614369>inside I am completely nuts due to child abuse. Relatable. This stays true though life (t. oldfag) but moderates over time. However you will still struggle with feelings of meaninglessness, dissociation etc
>Like everything hurts, nothing has developed normally and realistically you don't ever move on you just find a way to cope with it and most cope far worse than me.Well your career and financial life have clearly developed very normally so be happy about that. Maybe you will find something you're passionately, pointlessly interested in, for me that's synthesizer bleep bloop noises and languages (I enjoy Japanese and Chinese etymology for its own sake) and you can derive autistic pleasure from just the aesthetics and vast exploratory potential.
Being poor/marginalized does not confer drive and a sense of purpose, it just exacerbates rage and frustration while taking up way too much of your time on coping skills. I don't mean to make light of your suffering because I have been suicidal as well. I understand how deep that yawning pit of despair is and am alive only because I made a conscious decision not to be a participant in my own abuse following a second suicide attempt.
HOWEVER don't let loneliness and depression blind you to the fact that you have options and external cred not only unavailable to most but unimaginable. Keep looking for things that you find fulfilling or calming and be glad of the multiple golden tickets you have at your disposal vs being genuine holes of poverty or if you were deformed or whatever.
> There is nothing you can buy which can magically alter your brain and make you happy. Correct but don't underestimate the healing power of psychedelics, if you are able to be disciplined about keeping walled off from your career and not sperging out about how great they are. I got into them for a while around your age, stopped after I felt I got enough out of them, they can help you adjust to yourself a lot.
