My first visit to a site like this...

[RagingMac]

So it's my first time visiting one of these sites. I don't exactly know how to start this but...I'm constantly angry, depressed and feel suicidal when I'm on my own. When my girlfriends with me, I don't feel so bad, in fact I get over active a lot of the time and can sense that it annoys her a lot. When I am by myself I tend to think about things a lot more (war, governments etc) and it gets me really angry. Whenever I talk to friends about war and poverty, they just don't care, which I end up thinking about when I'm on my own again and only gets me angrier. How can't they care that thousands of people die in stupid and illegal wars or someone forced into homelessness just because their government does not care about them?
Me and my girlfriend are both unemployed but trying to find work, (although people like Jeremy Kyle would say we're just lazy. I'm not even going into how angry THAT makes me) and we struggle with the money we are on. Then out of nowhere, my girlfriend got hit with a sanction from the job centre. This was a mistake made by the job centre so she appealed against it. We were left with only the income that I was getting so the money couldn't stretch very far. Eventually (after 4 weeks) we found out that she won her appeal and got all the money back that she missed out on up until that point, 2 days before we next got money. We felt like millionaires. A few days after we got our money, she got another letter from the job centre saying she was getting another sanction for the exact same mistake. She appealed against it again and we have went 5 weeks without getting her half of the money and have not heard back if she won it or not. I then started a petition online to change sanction laws and shared it on facebook. I tagged everyone in my friends list to the petition (about 75 people) and only 14 of them did. Keep in mind that a lot of these people talk about changes into society etc but won't take 30 seconds out of their time to actually contribute to change.
I have been working really hard to get people to sign it, even created a twitter account, asked a lot of them to "re-tweet" it but it is not getting enough signatures. Last night when I was feeling really depressed and angry, I messaged my best friend on facebook, asking him if he could sign it and share it on his wall because I was really needing help getting people to see it. Instead of him doing it or explain why he won't do it, he just f****** ignored me. Because it does not effect him at that moment it means he doesn't f****** care, how selfish can people be? But so long as we see a picture of someones cake or a photo proving they beat a game then everythings fine. Am I just surrounded by selfish people who don't care what happens so long as it doesn't effect them?

If you made it through that mess of a post, I thank you for it. I also appolagize about some of the bad language, but I feel it helps me get my point across. If anyone wants to get in touch for whatever reason then feel free.
