34. Hon, I'm sorry, but these thought are the self-delusion

What BigmanPigman said is more accurate. You're naturally seeing everything through a negative lens right now. You don't think anything positive about your life is accurate. Your brain is telling you that. Please, seek help. Even if you're not feeling suicidal right now, a call to a suicide helpline could relieve some of your pain. Give them a call, and tell us how it goes.

And, I will add...so glad you said something on DU.
