Right, the economy sucks, there's no work, you're at the bottom of a hole, and all the sides are steep, and you're worn out, in trouble, and it's all coming at you at once. :-/ I have that sometimes. Maybe it's all coming down already, but... it's probably not all going to come down at exactly the same time; there's some playroom to juggle with. Take things one at a time, first things first. (And it goes without saying: Make sure you're healthy and sleeping and eating as best you can) . And sometimes something is going to fall over. And sometimes you have to let it, no matter how it hurts, because it's more important that as many of the other dominoes stay upright as possible. If they do, you can probably salvage something or at least use them move on. At some point you'll get a toehold, then a foothold, and you can start climbing out, slowly - 2 steps up, one step down.

tl;dr. Don't overstress. Take problems one at a time. and grimace when some of them asplode anyway.

ps. you're only 22. I know folks in their 40's who still struggle! (but somehow they manage to be happy every day. <scratches head>) . I think you'll figure it out. Either the road to traditional western success... or maybe you'll find your own path. :-)
