I’m 26 years old and live really far from the civilized world, like the U.S. or Europe. In my country, my income used to be considered upper-middle class or just below wealthy. Last year, I had 4 surgeries—one was on my head to remove a mole I scratched with a comb, and it turned into a benign cancerous tumor that had to be cut out. The other 3 were on my large intestine because of inflammation and pus buildup.*

So, have you ever dealt with losing all motivation to do anything in life after going through something really tough? And how did you get past it? I’ve noticed I haven’t worked in a whole year and still can’t bounce back after all this.
