Anxiety and Depression

I’m really hesitant to bother responding to this because giving advice to someone who isn’t yet willing to make the necessary changes just seems so futile (as with your response to @Andrew0409’s helpful post above).

I do hope that eventually you’ll run out of excuses and start making an effort to listen to people’s advice and improve things for yourself. As already noted, you’re really the one who needs to do that — there’s no point waiting for others to do it for you, or expecting everyone else to change because you have no control over that.

As to the money issue, perhaps it’s time for you to consider looking for a job or reliable source of income. I’m aware you don’t want that, but a lot of other people aren’t doing their jobs for fun either.

I know I’m certainly not, but if I want money I need to work. That’s just how it is. If I spent most of every day just messing around/playing computer games/riding around to places so I don’t need to spend my own money on AC, I’d be totally broke and unable to afford vacations too. So I choose not to, even though it means doing work I don’t particularly enjoy.

Even with working, it’s not like I can just bugger off to dawdle around Europe doing nothing for a month or two whenever I want. I’d struggle to afford that, so when I take vacations, which isn’t that often, they tend to be shorter and in cheaper places like Thailand or the Philippines. And yes, those places are hot and you don’t like that. I don’t much like hot weather either, but that’s how it is and there’s little point me complaining about it. You shouldn’t really try to guilt-trip people because they have jobs and can afford to take vacations.

Anyway, there must be some things you could do that are more productive than what you’re currently doing. I suggest trying to figure out what they are. Seems better than just waiting around for someone to hand you free money (if you figure out a way to make that happen, I’d like to hear it too).

Might also be worth reading through your previous threads on this topic, like the following one (I think there are many, many more). You’ve had a lot of advice in those threads, and I suspect you might have gotten more here if you’d shown any inclination to listen to previous advice.
