Jason, that's a troubling post which I also did not see.
You list a lot of "problems" in your life and it sucks when things like this begin to pile up and consume your inner peace.
But I think your biggest problem isn't any of the things you mentioned, it's your mindset.
The way you THINK about your life situation is making your life situation SEEM hopeless and this can be very destructive.
A computer, car, and dental work can all be fixed or changed.
It may sound like new age crap, but the first thing you need to do is calm your mind. If your mind is spinning in a sea of negativity, the negativity will continue and your fears will become a self fulling prophecy.
I don't want to minimize the gravity of your life situation in any way, but taking small steps in the right direction can build momentum and before you know it your heading in a new direction.
I've had times when I was depressed or had negative feelings of despair and hoplessness...I think most people have at one point or another. Life can be hard or confusing.
Try reading a book that deals with recognizing the destructive nature of your thinking, like A New Earth....maybe look into meditation.
When you calm your mind the path forward becomes easier to see. Life is a gift and it's exciting...excessive thinking clouds this truth.
In no way will a book, or meditation fix your life situation...but it may make you realize how all the things you mentioned are in fact THINGS....and things can change.
