RE: Emotional & Physical Needs: Money Finds A Way To Be Our Undoing

A lot was poured out here really. Let me respond to just few..

I feel I haven't been having time off to enjoy the thrill of being a human being.
Then maybe you are being consumed by the obvious much you have passed through this year. It happens to all of us dude. A little on that later...

This year has been really difficult for me, losing my mother, my emergency funds, and a ghastly accident with my brother

This should be of your worst years ever if you have the kind of connection I have with my mum (Naturally its always there between mum and boys).Plus the accident and financial loss. Am really sorry about this. Honestly people go through a lot. I wish we could always see beyond the smiling faces. Am sorry about these challenges bro. You will gradually, eventually get over them.

I know that my health situation becomes a limiting factor

Am really sorry about this. Hope your medication is working. Please dont skip them (I feel guilty because am not qualified to advise on this. I skip drugs. hahaha)

this Saturday, I snapped out of it and asked a friend to come to cook for me and my flatmate, she came over, I also had another friend from my school days come over and we spent two refreshing days of eating and watching TV, cracking jokes

Believe me this is cool. This would be so refreshing. I wish you can do that a little more often - maybe change the activities for more creativity and fun.

Finally, be strong bro and fight with your head to the wind. Honestly being an adult in this environment is scary, but its a war we are winning. Finances aside, all challenges are being overcome now.
