Money can't make your pain go away, but it sure can make it more bearable and less miserable.
Imagine having no freedom. Your parents are anxious, they fear that something bad may happen to you if you go "out there", so "better stay home, play with your dog".
Imagine having a job you don't like - that's because you're not cut out for this job. And your work buddies and superiors treating you like a slave.
In this situation, I do think that having money makes it easier. Because it would allow me to quit my job and it would give me the freedom I need to pursue my passion and live my life like a normal human being.

Can you explain more this part, you learned to make games, but take so much time? Beginners working slow, but from time to time, you will work faster. Do you apply on some game making job or do you make some game for the market ?
Game development is hard and challenging, you start with an idea, then you continue to elaborate it because game design is important, then you have the art, animation, coding, music... if you make a game for mobile it's even harder because you need to optimize the game to work well on most phones. It takes a lot of time.
I made only a few games but they are still unreleased. I'm working on a pc game, but I still have a lot of work to do, so that's just going to take a little more time.
Also, I'm not an experienced programmer, all I know I taught myself, therefore sometimes I get stuck and it takes time to find the solution.
@NeoPat I agree with your post, thanks.
@Lunami thank you, and please get rid of that poisonous substance. A beautiful soul like yours deserves the best.
If you don't like your parents or your society then work hard to earn a living for you by yourself and live alone. But again never-ever think about suicide.
I understand them, I know they were part of a different era and they have their thinking and values.
And that's exactly what I want to do: to earn a living for me and live alone. But it's hard to do that when you have a soul-crushing job that takes away all of your energy.
If you dont like your job - change it. if you arnt happy with where u are - change it. If you dont like where u live - change that too. You can change everything.
This is what I want to do, but I don't know how. I want to quit my job and to earn money by doing something I enjoy.
You're a slave because you allowed yourself to be a slave. You're already 20+ but still scared of your parents. Why don't you quit your job and leave your home? Go to a faraway place and rent an apartment and start a new life away from your controlling parents. You need to escape your toxic environment.
I would love to quit my job and leave home, but what could I do next? To go to a faraway place and rent an apartment - that supposed I would need to have constant money. That's my problem, I don't know how to make money.
You need to focus on letting go of expectations on yourself, I've met homeless people who are the happiest people in the world.
That's because they have no responsibilities, they have no bosses that treat them like shit, they have no mortgages, no stress et cetera.
Exercise 5 or 6 times each week for about 1 hour each day. If you can do weight training with machines/free-weights this will make you feel the best. If you can't access a proper gym, do anything - this could be abs one day, push ups the next day, bicep curls with something heavy the 3rd day, then repeat for the 2nd half of the week.
It's not about building up, it's about endorphins - you will feel so much better from doing this.
I used to go to the gym very often. I think I got a little lazy lately...
My personal recommendation is: Break free of everything which holds you back, puts too much pressure on you and makes you feel depressed.
That's exactly what I want to do but I don't know how. I want to break free, to do something I like, but how? I would like to be my own boss, to make my own money and live for myself. But I don't know how can I do that.
I know it can sound funny - but try to do some martial art - it helped me a lot, iv been there mate, please stay positive and try to find some good things in your life, and be patience - everything will come to you at the right time.
Not funny at all, I totally agree because you are right! I've been doing for a little while boxing and krav maga and it is true that it makes you feel better and have a better respect for yourself.
Get this book. "Purpose driven life" by Rick Warren.
Thank you. I'm a nerd and I read it already. I'm not a religious person though.
@CloakerLy I already read it, thank you.
A lot of mental issues are caused because of our society norm. Sedative lives, junk food, and poisoning our bodies with alcohol, social media.
Thank you. I live in a rural area, and because of this, I have a healthy diet - never junk food. I also don't drink alcohol.
Anyway, thanks for all the answers, everyone. It's overwhelming because I didn't expect to have such feedback!
