I second all the recommendations to seek a mental health professional and to connect with others as much as possible.

In today's world, fewer and fewer are interested in religion and don't see it as a practical solution for life's problems. But I've found what I believe to be truth that provides me with all the hope, peace, change, joy, and guidance that I need in my life (which has its fair share of problems in my early 40s).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has that truth and the teachings that can bring you peace and explain the purpose of life. Two volumes of scripture--the Bible and the Book of Mormon--together explain the purpose of life and how to find God and his blessings. These teachings have brought me tremendously good things, helped me to change, and provided me with sustained peace amidst the chaos of life.

I highly recommend taking a look: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org

I have used the Dropbox Datastore (deprecated), Parse, SQLite, CloudKit, FireBase, and probably others, and nothing has compared to how elegant Realm is.

- The code is intuitive and beautiful

- The sync platform is crazy-fast and reliable

- Offline-first is exactly what I need

- Queries are mind-blowingly quick (even with tens of thousands of records)

- Sync listeners are very simple to set up

- Setting up the Realm Object Server on a Digital Ocean Ubuntu VPS takes less than five minutes

I really couldn't be more impressed. I love Realm to bits (heh).
