I have been 'burned out' before, but this time it feels different. Somehow it feels as if it's literally impossible to make a life for myself in my own country, any more. Being locked out of the housing market entirely feels like my homeland has been stolen from me, the most basic necessity of shelter becomes an ever-present treadmill.
I'm just so full of anger, sadness, everything, with the whole situation - what do I do? Do I just turn off my emotions, go to work, come home from work, go to work, come home from work, wait decades for the pieces to fall into place?
What makes all of this worse is that inevitably comparisons are made with humanity as a whole - that lots of others are in this situation. And to me, that's simply terrible, but I have to turn off thinking about that, because otherwise I'll spin out completely. I can't even look after myself.
