This has been my life the last year and a half, so I too can relate except it's still happening. I try to use League as an escape to sort of forget about my problems, but I've been both mentally and physically sick for so long I'm not sure I'll ever be free. I usually don't talk about it outside of one small breakdown when talking to my mom a few weeks ago, but there's nothing she can really do to help. Compared to a lot of people my physical problems are nothing, so I try to not use them as an excuse for my current situation, but it's hard. I'm getting old now and I'm still a jobless, broke loser with seemingly no escape from my current situation. I did everything conventional wisdom tells you to do: Go to college, get an advanced degree, work crappy jobs for a while to build a resume, etc. Still nothing on the job front. I've worked hard to lose weight and improve my physical appearance, but then I get a flare up and I gain 60+ pounds due to medications and stuff.

Not sure why I wrote all this, but if it reaches anyone else in a situation similar to mine, I hope things work out better for you. I had such a promising future lined up for myself, but now I don't know if I'll get to see it.
