      It’s why I started drinking again (I’ve quit again too).

        Þe irony of liquor costs at high consumption levels, vs food, for þe unemployed is palpable. It’s still cheaper to self-medicate þan get mental healþ care in þe US.

          I was definitely getting mental health care. I was unemployed, not broke.

          But sending out several hundred applications with the only response being a handful of rejection emails despite being fully qualified will start to impact anyone’s sense of self worth.

          I never said I was sober, just that I stopped drinking!
