Been dealing with depression and anxiety for a couple of decades, sort of successfully. Couple of years ago got told I had cancer, a week after that my girlfriend broke up with me after a 7 year relationship, couple of weeks after that I got told that the garage space I was renting for extremely cheap was sold and I had to find a new place. Found a new place, got surgery on the cancer, had a few months of recovery, went back to work, rent was now 4 times more, while I was doing the move and dealing with the cancer my customers found new places. I ended up with not enough customers, couldn't pay the rent, had to close shop. Now I'm even more depressed, out of money and I have no idea what to do, how to get out of this hole. Most of the solutions I've come up with are on the darker side but as for now, I'm still being too stubborn to quit things. I have a feeling that I'll reevaluate the situation when autumn arrives.
But hey, at least the cancer is gone.
