My world is crumbling. I've lost everything that mattered to me in a matter of moments. My self respect, my job, the love of my life, my future... I'm tired as all hell, my eyes are still wet, I haven't come out of my room in hours and I haven't eaten at all. I'm at my limit. I don't know how I can recover from this. All I ask from you /adv/ is this.
Now what?
A new goal? A different life? Maybe just a good long stare into the night sky and continue to wonder why.
Thats pretty rough man, I like to think I'd remember the lessons of the stoics.
That sucks. The only thing you can do is pick up the pieces and start again. If I were you, I'd go somewhere else.
