Last year.

Divorced my wife that no longer loved and never really appreciated me.

Meet and fell in love again. They abused me for a year. Spread rumors about me. Alienated me from everyone I know. Harassed me and stalked me for months.

Money troubles…grew up working-class, so nothing new here.

I’ve been extremely successful in my career. I have completed 2 degrees (summa c** laude), always top of my class. I’ll finish my double PhD in a few months.

My family are nationalist, christen fundamentalists who believe the earth is flat, dinosaurs are a hoax, and so forth. My father thinks educated people – professors, the thing I want to become – “create nazis.”

I’ve worked without rest for 15 years. My grandmother thinks I’m lazy.

I’ve been seriously contemplating on whether I should kill myself. I’m not even particularly emotional about it. I’m being rather pragmatic about it all.

Hopefully, these feelings will pass. But, it’s been a rough year or so and I wanted to vent somewhere anonymously while also getting to alert an automated system via checkmark that I am not a robot. So, at least there’s that.
