What is your version of Hell like?

God damn. Aside from people around me living their life to the fullest, this is me. Work 12 hour shifts, half of which are overnights, because it's the only job that I could find that will pay more than 40k a year. I am in a sexless partnership for at least another year, because she can't afford to move out and I could eventually get a house faster if she stays. I live with my friend to save money, but he is miserable and unavailable.

He himself is on the cusp of divorce because his wife is an absolutely insane cunt (Wiccan and hippie combined with dangerous levels of stupid and delusions of grandeur) who he got knocked up and they have a nightmare child with. Oh yeah, and she's been seeing another dude and refuses to get a new job that isn't involved with saving the environment or part of the pagan community. I get to witness his struggle to keep a mother in his child's life. On top of that, he's losing his great job because the warehouse where he works is going to practically all part timers to avoid having to pay benefits or a living wage anymore.

My ex, who I live with, can't seem to ever succeed enough, and constantly struggles to not get fucked by her job. We aren't sexually attracted to each other and haven't had sex in two years. We saw other people in an attempt to alleviate our mutual loneliness, however my longtime friend with benefits is now in a comitted relationship, yet cheated on her boyfriend with me and now won't hardly speak to me.

And to top it all off, I have to save money, but the stress of my living situation is constantly wearing at my discipline. I'll go a month doing well, and then the next I'll binge on eating out or buying beer. I also had to give up weed for my new job, because they constantly perform random UAs.

Basically if there's a bad decision to be made, outside of having an unwanted kid, I've made or am currently making it.
