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.
