> then I called my mom

Not all of us can do that, or our dad, and there’s nobody to help us nor a savings to fall back on.

Almost everyone gets hooked up by their parents and society is designed around that.

I don’t know anyone else in the world except for me who doesn’t have any help.

Even the homeless people get more help than me. Often they have parents and even kids somewhere.

Pretty broken system we have where basically nothing you do in your life matters, it’s all about how much money your parents had.

Almost everyone on this site comes from a background like that, just free shit without any merit while the rest of us struggle, crazy

No argument that I was extremely fortunate to have the people I was able to reach out to and get help from. My friend, my mom (though she didn't actually spend any money in this case, just called in a credit card for the hotel prebill), and my stepfather-in-law made what would have been an extremely terrible situation to just a very terrible situation.

I'm sorry you don't feel like you get the help you need, though I think just based on this comment you would benefit from talking to a therapist. This isn't a dig, I see a therapist.

You types are really into it (therapy) but it isn’t for me.

I have no problem bitching about my problems or even finding people (like yourself) to listen.

I just need money.

Therapy is much more than just bitching about your problems, and I'm afraid that if you think that whining on Hacker News is going to do anything to help you, then you're either deluded or stupid.

I also don't know what "you types" means? My parents were super against therapy and wouldn't let me go to a therapist or psychiatrist. I sought it out when I was 26 years old.
