"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual State. In a single State, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair." -Alexander Hamilton (Federalist 28)"

Lately it seems like every aspect of my life has lost all taste and meaning.
I'm by every definition of the word: depressed.

But I shouldn't have a reason to be.
My life is objectively better now than it was in previous years. And yet all I can think about is the fact that I'm not as far ahead as I thought I'd be by now.

And it's affecting everything.
My diet. My sleep. My social life.
I'm a train wreck and all without a legitimate reason.

I'd say "go to therapy" but I can't even afford therapy so I'm all out of options.

Is is a subtle cry for help in the form of advice. I'm not expecting anyone to snap me out of my current state of mind but I would appreciate any and all input.

Residents in all 27 countries of the European Union went to the polls this weekend to vote for the European Parliament, which resulted in a surge of support for far-right parties across much of the continent while many liberal and Green parties stumbled. Far-right parties did especially well in Italy, Germany and France, prompting French President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and call snap elections.
