I needed to hear this, and maybe you do too: You're not bad because you're unable to help a comrade. (hexbear.net)

As someone who's broke and working through hard things, I feel bad not being able to help when there are other people going through it.

But we're all trying our best out here. Don't make it easy for libs and beat yourself up. Help others if you can and take care of yourself if you can't. Drink water.

I will never find peace over my inner contradictions and I intend to keep it that way

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to ignore my fellow comrades, but if your account is overdrawn, being harsh with yourself won't add money to your account.

I'm not employed when I very easily could be, though. I could work a shitty job for 20h/wk and it would allow me to help comrades to the tune of $100 a month.
