Feeling annoyed because I hate working, and suicidal because I've done financial projections and it's going to be a long road of working before I can even think of retirement.

I’m sorry OP, I get where you are coming from. I know this will sounds like bullshit but that’s why we need to focus on finding work that drives passion in us making us more satisfied and fulfilled with life or else of course we’d feel suicidal since the money just isn’t there for the sacrifice. I say all this because I feel the same way often, like why put up with all of this “for nothing”.

Anyways, as everyone always says here, I’d recommend looking for a therapist and start evaluating yourself deeper, something I’m actively trying to do right now. Idk about you but it “feels” like it’s not a big deal to have suicidal ideation, to me sometimes it’s like duh of course I would look at the facts, but it is a big deal and others don’t deal with it. I wish us both luck in changing our perspectives. Sending mad love, stay strong OP 👊

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad
