I'm going to be 35 and nothing changes my life has been a boring slow downward spiral. Sometimes I welcome death to take me but unless it's a heart attack I don't see that happening anytime soon. And I don't feel like ending myself.

Still sexless, loveless with literary no friends and with a temp job that I dislike. I just drift in this world, I guess I could be worse, living under a bridge, but I still live with my mother and uncle, sleeping in a minuscule room shared with my uncle (he's another "loser" like me in his late 40s non married living with his sister, my mom). I'm sure y'all heard this before, life is unfair, and it's true, and I'm sure some other people out there are doing worse than me and are better "fighters" in life. But I'm not them, I'll never be them, it's not in me being that type of person.

Btw I'm not saying this just to get a response from you and I don't need a "happy birthday" reply... If anything that would piss me off more due being insincere, you are not my family and you don't care about me in the slightest (and rightfully so). But I just needed to say this to ease my pain.

Now maybe you can understand why I welcome the reaper, maybe you can tell me if you're in a similar situation.

Move out.
Get a dog or a cat or some sort of pet that you can cuddle and that depends on you.
Get therapy.

Do at least 2 of the 3 and your next birthday will be better. I promise.

That first one is already impossible since I don't have money or the resources. Family has a dog already and I don't like it and no again impossible

There's likely a bunch of mental health options ranging in price. Where I live there are free online or video sessions.

Have you tried googling for mental health supports in your area? There are lots of organizations, government programs etc you just have to look for them.

Heck, if you give me a city I'll see what I can find for you.
