Interesting, why?

Squandered more money and friendships since 2020 than my entire life up to that point

I, too, feel like my final collapse and demise came in 2020 and followed me into 2021. I can’t see 2022 being any better. 
Granted I’d been in freefall since 2018, but 2020 basically was Last Chance Saloon for me, specifically Midnight on 01/01. 
The first 1.5 months of 2020 were the first and last times I’ve ever felt truly happy and optimistic in my life, I felt zen and almost ascendant at times. 
Then I failed on February 16 and my life spiralled out of control. My dog of 15 years died on August 14. My family members’ health continued to deteriorate. I lost the one, true friend I ever feel I’ve had on June 26. 
Everything just kept spiralling, then my physical and mental health began to tank. 
Now I’m here. On the brink of buying 2 charcoal burners, holing up in the fanciest hotel money can rent for a few nights and gassing myself to death. 
Ironically I started 2020 with £88 to my name, despite it being the happiest period of my existence. I now have over £4000 in my savings, and I am joyless and soon to depart.

Did whatever you did on Feb 16 cause your dog, family, and friend's departures? Because it sounds like you just had a shit year and are blaming yourself rather than the whims of chance.

No, all that stuff happened in the second half of 2020. Although I lost my friend on June 26 (basically the second half). 
However, I guarantee you the way I felt in that first 1.5 months of 2020, man, I could have taken anything. 
The worst back-to-back fates in the world could have befallen me and I would have still come out smiling.
Now, nothing can make me happy. Nothing can bring me inner peace and contentment. 
I am forever haunted by my failure on February 16. It will never leave me, I will never be whole again. 
So it is so.
