In reply to the discussion: I wish the economy would hurry up and reach those of us at the bottom. [View all]VenusRising
(11,252 posts)60. I read it, and I can hear your pain and frustration.
Everyone tells me to keep pushing, but I feel I'm pushing against Kilimanjaro. It's something I'll never move, and I'm waiting to be crushed by falling rocks. Life can be absolutely soul crushing, especially when you give it everything you've got and everything turns to shit.
I really hope and wish for the best for you, your family, and business.

I wish for that too. I'm 54 and have maybe 4 or 5 years where I wasn't worried all the time.

I do not miss it one bit. I can no longer allow someone to abuse me because they 'love' me.
