Hi dad,

Life is really hard right now and your daughter is really depressed. I was laid off twice in 2 years, on the exact same month: October. My wife currently is going through cancer treatments. I have to pay an absurd of among monthly for COBRA to keep her treatments going. My savings is draining really quickly and I'm feeling very scared and vulnerable. I just don't understand why everything is so hard right now.

I thought I did everything right. I have a bachelor and a masters degree with 10+ years of experience in my field. I'm literally being auto rejected for jobs I apply for with the exact same title and qualifications that I have. I feel like shit and I just wanna give up.

On top of all that, I'm autistic and ADHD with c-PTSD due to lifelong trauma. Every day and every interaction is a struggle and painful on various levels. I just want to cry while being hugged and told that everything's gonna be ok. Being told that you're proud of me and that you love me. That'll help push me through another day. Thanks dad...
