    Something needs to change for me but I’m not sure what. My stress levels are unmanageable. I keep feeling like I’m putting off living a happy, healthy, life until I can retire.

    The tragedy is, this is not abnormal anymore. Especially not in the U.S.

      True. And I recognize that I have a lot more to be grateful for than most. Today just hit me a lot harder than usual.

        I had a laughing fit as I walked towards my front door this morning.

        It’s so absurd, I laughed. But there was nothing funny.

        You absolutely deserve to feel that way no matter your gratitude. I was not trying to criticize you and I’m sorry if I came off that way. It’s a tragedy because a lot of people are pretty entitled to feel like that. Including plenty of people who used to be considered middle class.
