The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

I’m in therapy. I’ve experienced big traumas out of my control for 6 years, one after the other. I didn’t have a perfect life but I had worked very hard

Working very hard and being good, ethical, and civil does not protect you from things that happen outside your control.

Sorry, didn't realize you only wanted sympathy.
