I feel completely lost and depressed. Nothing in my life is going the way I want. My job isn’t giving me the financial stability I desire, and no matter how hard I try, I feel stuck. My wife left me, my girlfriend left me, and I have no one to turn to. I come home to an empty space, and it feels unbearable.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this.
First thing first. Nothing and nobody is or should be more important than your own life and progress, unless you are in love, which is
