I suppose it was lack of preparedness and hard work that caused a friend of mine who had recently put himself through university to have an accident at work - caused by his employer's negligence - that left him with brain damage and partial paralysis. If only he had just pulled himself up by his bootstraps harder, everything would have been okay.
America is fixated on morality.
If you fuck up it's not cos of anything you did or didn't do - or even because of plain random luck.
It's cos you're morally evil.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-09-10 at 5:38 PM UTCYes but once you have a bunch of money it's like okay I'm gonna do SO MUCH with this and then you realize it's time to go to bed because you gotta wake up early tomorrow and that freedom you were chasing becomes your self built prison until you retire or die

America is not fixated on morality but our media is. The average man on the street has solid ethics when they interact in general and mostly keeps his morals to himself or his inner circle. -

What would be a good way to help with self discipline? I'm kinda unwound I would think maybe correcting my sleep would be a good place to start.
IME it was all about learning to crawl before I could run.

When one has health nothing else really feels like an impediment. When you don't have health nothing else can really make up for it.
Is that why it took you two days to fix a toilet? -

So looking at that situation, I feel like unemployment is your biggest challenge. You solve that and you can start making a dent on savings and living situation. Get that sorted, work on the addiction - use the fuel of your next step (better job, through more education whether that's formal or informal) to give you something to make it worth it.
