Why are you here?

Helping others all over the globe and not expecting one single penny in return is why this place started. It's a very simple premise really. And that also makes us unique and one of the best things about the Internet as a whole.
I don't know why everyone is not here....

felt like throwing some math :/

If 2 hours equals 22 hours your entire math is screwed simply based on that initial premise.
An average 8 hour work day is now 88 hours. 2 hours to commute is now 22, etc.

Nobody believes or understands me usually when I say that it's "bad timing"

There are many here that care about you Nevermind. Too many I suppose. But what we tell you does not matter. We could yell and scream until we are blue in the face but it can't drown out the voices you listen to. So let me just say this one last time. You have the right to decide whetber you live or die, not us. We want you here with us, bandages and all. You are needed here.

No one understands the sentence "Stop hitting yourself" quite like I do.

Self harm is a selfish act. You convince yourself that physical pain is necessary as a punishment you feel you deserve. You may have been taught to expect pain from a parent or if you spent time in the foster system. Anyway, it is learned behavior and as such it can be unlearned. With proper guidance and a willingness to want to change it can be accomplished.

At the thought of going back to school, assuming I went through a two or four year program, I'd be about 43/45 years old.

First off you should disregard all your "can't"s. You can do everything you set your mind to. And I do mean everything. The mind is a limitless space in which to imagine your dreams.

It sounds like your mind is already made up. So what is it you want Help with?
