i have a long list of what one might call minor misfortunes. minor as in not dead, hospitalised, crippled or in chronic pain.

bullied as a kid, diabetes as a teenager, too few friends and lovers, always in debt, not a home/car owner, weight loss surgery, #ASD and #ADHD diagnosed late in life, burnout from software development 3 years ago, bad family relations, now on welfare at age 40, no dreams fulfilled, no future plans, drinking a bit too much.

all things considered, i'm holding up better than one could expect. i think there are people who have killed themselves over less.
