There is support to be found on this board, but if you feel you need it, reach out to get professional help. It's ok to ask for help when the burden is too much!

Eat a lot of peaches!!
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke
Chorus:
Blow up your TV throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own
Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do
Repeat chorus:
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why
We blew up our TV threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

Dangit!Nice try, but ya ain't gettin' me to say "Then my job here is done."
Watch it there missy, I've got plenty more bad juju in my pocket just waiting to get out.Dangit!
You and your juju are no match for the old stump.......Watch it there missy, I've got plenty more bad juju in my pocket just waiting to get out.
I don't know about that. You've never seen my old stump...You and your juju are no match for the old stump.......
I don't know about that. You've never seen my old stump...
Part of the reason I am here on SKMB is because reading a good book is one thing I keep in my arsenal for times I feel despondent. A really good book always manages to get me to look up and out of myself. So, do something that you know YOU truly enjoy...if it feels like you are faking it at first or forcing it, that will soon pass.
Also, here's a bit of "angel" music to cheer you on this fall Tuesday.
I don't know about that. You've never seen my old stump...
.......and I hope I never!!
7 out of 10!! 
I don't think I was as frustrated as you but I remember saying at your age, "once I'm ________, I will be happy with my life!" The problem is that there is always new problems. I remember reading a quote from a billionaire who was on his death bed. He basically said he would give all his money to be young again! Time and health are your most valuable commodity!!
You're 23? The world is your oyster Dude! Don't like your job? Get a new one or go back to school. No girlfriend? Stop looking and one will come soon enough. Still upset? How about joining peace corp in a 3rd world country. You'll realize quickly how good we have it with running water and consistent electricity. And a toilet that flushes
Time is on your side! Turn off the damn TV and do something! Your possibilities are endless!!!
I might add exhausted, having sat a week straight mostly at the computer and TV and not feeling at rest even when I lie down.
Another John Prine fan! I wondered if anyone would recognize that. You have very good taste.Eat a lot of peaches!!
One of the songs I considered sharing was "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore."
