I'm nowhere as involved as you are in HN, but I can't help but notice your obsession with karma and leaderboards. What gives?

I don't think anybody owes you a job or any other sort of quid pro quo for that comment you made "in tptacek's defense" 6.5 years ago, and it's not because you're a woman.

You "backed" someone who has a large amount of karma on HN and you expected this to result in some significant positive effect on your life? And you think if you were male, this would have been the case? You also feel people on HN are partly responsible for your financial problems? O_O I am sorry that you are homeless, I think nobody deserves that and that the government should fix this problem but I think you have an unrealistic view of how the world works and an unhealthy relationship with this web site.

  Your comment here is at least as harmful as edw's "man up and face your problems" comment to aaronsw. You need to restrain yourself in this situation.

Don't kill yourself. Hopelessness is not a permanent feeling. You may not be able to imagine it now, but you will feel better. What mental health resources are you able to access where you are? There are people who can and will help you -- it's just a question of finding them and getting to them.

  I don't need mental health resources. I need money. The TLDR is that my ex husband did not get my alimony to me yesterday like he said he would and he is not answering my emails either. If people are concerned about me, rather than suggesting I am merely crazy, it would be much more helpful if they did one of the following: 1. White listed my sites on ad blocker and/or promoted my writing on social media. http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/my-sites.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/my-sites.html 2. Left a tip or gifted me some money to get through this crisis. 3. Became a patron. https://www.patreon.com/MicheleinCalifornia https://www.patreon.com/MicheleinCalifornia 4. Hired me to do resume work. http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/resumes.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/resumes.html PSA: Every time someone either commits suicide or talks about suicide, the big feels brigade who claim to care come out in spades and it makes me crazy. If you actually care about people and want to prevent suicide, then focus on helping people solve their actual personal problems instead of acting like feeling suicidal is merely a form of insanity. http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/01/preventing-copycat-suicides-opinion.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/01/preventing-c...

    You have read a lot into my comment that wasn't there. I don't think you're crazy, and not every person who needs mental health care is insane. Everyone needs it during difficult times that feel hopeless. I can't help save you or help you from suicide. No one can because it's your decision. I was just imploring you to use the resources available to help yourself.
