Improving my plight
Hi,
It seems virtually impossible for me to improve my plight so I can get out of the holes I get stuck in. Because of my history of mental troubles it makes it harder and its really hard for people to get out of poverty too.
I was thinking of seeing if I could get a lotto system to help improve my financial circumstances but it seems like lots of lotto winners wished they never won the lotto and that it didn't help them much at all.
Lots of rich people can get isolated and lose many of their friends. I am not sure about middle class people. Anyway I am poor and mostly broke and living that way isn't nice either.
I don't know how anyone wins the financial system it seems like there are heaps of mentally unwell rich people doing whatever with their money and often probably following university of nsw's motto of don't stand still that just seems terrible for anyones mental health.
I don't know how I improve my plight in such a dystopian dysfunctional society. I think people can be middle class and happy with their lives somehow. I think some middle class seem that way.
My siblings are all married and some have families and they are middle class to upper middle class. They don't have histories of mental issues. Its been too difficult for me to find a girlfriend and I spent 3 months looking for work and was unable to get any.
Getting a job might actually help possibly with my mental health and give me something hopefully helpful for me to do as I know helping people is meant to help with mental health.
Its really hard. I have tried before many times and struggled a lot in the past with my life its not fair at all. I don't know how people can just turn a blind eye to struggling folks like me.
I wish struggling folks like me where actually properly supported and could recover from their mental troubles properly and actually find partners and have a family and hopefully live a better life but this dystopian society we live in hasn't been that helpful for me all that much.
Its been somewhat helpful but the rich seem blind to me about others struggles often and they seem wasteful about how they use their wealth and manage their finances often too.
I just seem to be stuck with the same old crap for decades and decades perhaps until I am old and die. A life not right in a society that is the same its not right either its broken and dysfunctional and barely working properly.
Its not a pleasant life to live at times. I do however get some pleasant times fortunately like some family gatherings, music jamming and music jamming is really hard to get going for me of course too.
One of my friends said I was sort of cursed with my life. It seems like that. He is rich and his dad bought him a house on the eastern suburbs he doesn't live in. That just seems foolish to me as it seems such a wasteful use of so much money especially when there are plenty of homeless people in Sydney that need houses to live in and there are heaps of NIMBYs too that won't allow development so people can live in Sydney.
Lots of people say how great life in Australia and Sydney is. Well I think it has its ups and downs and its not pleasant living in poverty and having so much difficulty getting work or even earning a middle class income.
Struggling in poverty for decades is unpleasant and demoralising and its probably dehumanising too. Its like a human rights abuse I think and lots of people with mental issues often live with chronic human rights abuses against them that they don't deserve at all to live with as many can be decent people that wish society would improve not get worse or continue in its pretty awful state.
2025 I read was a record year in Sydney for mental health calls it was the peak of a crisis year. So heaps of people in Sydney likely in 2026 are also struggling with their mental troubles. One of my friends also said there that many lawyers and people that work in finance in Sydney use hard drugs and its meant to be effecting large numbers of people in Sydney. There probably is a fair amount of drug addiction and misuse in the Eastern Suburbs where my friend is from.
Its hard to cope in such a dystopian society where like everyone is struggling with something and the overall outlook on society is dismal. It also sucks how the rich use their vast wealth so wastefully often too.
Regards,
Argyle.
