what do I do....

[ffii]

I am a loser, I am unsuccessful in everything I do, and I owe a lot of debt. Then I want to start making money again in Australia, but recently I heard from a friend that there is a good opportunity to make money, and there is no risk. I don’t know why I actually believed it. He, I didn’t know the seriousness of the matter until he was arrested by the police last week, and he completely disappeared. However, everything I owned was seized by the police, including my mobile phone and my car. I didn’t even have enough money to go to the court. Then there was me. My visa is about to expire, and I have to find a job to support my life and visa. In addition, I will need huge legal fees and debts owed by my family. I can't breathe at all. My mind is very confused and I have no idea at all. How should I eat and sleep well? What should I do? I even have thoughts of ending my life.
