Find better work or something. Even living homeless and just getting food from foodshelves is better than taking away your life for the sake of sadness. All that leads to is more sadness for everyone else. Please, don't kill yourself. For the last two years I had been working to pay off my wife's lawyer for when she got sued by an employer. She was so sad that she couldn't work or focus on basic things, and I felt used, but now she's gone and you have no idea how much I really do miss her. I love my wife, and she's gone. Don't take your life, please keep going forward, find something else to do or whatever you need to but keep pressing on, please.
I am not a parakeet
is that you?
OMG
OMG
OMG
this is heart breaking
but your quote was so strong and so wise!
i take heart

Cats need scratching, and she likes climbing, so is your scratching post high enough for her, and out of the right material? If you cant make her scratch the right things, and you dont want to cut her claws, you could attach some kind of protective body climbing "armour" to one side of your body and educate her to climb on you in a certain way, and only when you have it on. It is O.K. to accomodate her, but a little bit of education will be good for her, too.

It's high enough. She used it when I first got it for about a week, but not really anymore. I guess she just likes everything else (including my body) better
I wish I knew how to educate a kitten
I feel bad because sometimes I get mad at her (it really freaking hurts), but I don't know how to teach her not to do it. I don't want her to be afraid of me, I just want her to stop hurting me and jumping on me when I'm busy doing something.

So find out how to educate her.
You have to define what kind of behavior is O.K. for you, and what not, and let her know: always put her down when she hurts you, always give her extra attention/ food if she behaves O.K. Ask someone with a cat for help.
Overall she probably needs more occupation, and maybe (?) more stability. Play with her for always the same amount of time, like 5 minutes, then stop for 30 minutes, and then play again, give the play period a definite start and stop. When coming home or in the morning you could also play longer. Routine is important for animals. It would be good to find some kids to play with her. I guess a second cat is no option, but maybe you can find someone with a kitten close to the place where you live.
As a kitten she needs more attention. Later she will hopefully get more lazy.

Good day to you Mr. Holmes.
I am glad to see that you are still alive. This might sound strange but I think about you every day while planning my own suicide. I think, "I wonder if that guy on wrong planet is still going." I initially came here in a very desparate state and was hoping to talk with someone like me. Instead, I got a lot of "You are stupid, or go pay someone to give a crap." I am not sure if it would be very good or a very bad thing to meet another with thier finger on the trigger, but I was five days into my starvation and talking with people here really did help me off the ledge.
I think that the good people of wrongplanet would be delighted if the subject never came up here again. The thing is, most of my frustration and despair comes from being Aspien. Alone in a crowd, I ruin the conversation or the mood in the room. There really is no one in my life that I can talk to or be arouind and I don't fit here either. I have not found a solution to my soothing addiction of morbid reflection but as soon as I do, I will let you know. I want to be happy. I want to feel accepted somewhere on Earth. I want to find some level of fullfillment and I do not think that you are too much different.
Away, it gives me some hope to see that you haven't quit either.
Animals do make good friends.
