Have you had this discussion with your partner? How are they helping you with this... and if they're not, they're probably the wrong partner for you.
What kind of hobbies do you have outside of working 2 jobs? Is there something there you could monetize to help your financial stresses?
What are you working conditions like? What can you improve there, maybe by talking to your bosses or move onto a better place
Do you get the joy you want from hockey? Is there someone(s) who can confide in there?

Personally I'm just chugging along day by day... my body feels like it's giving up on me too but it is what it is... I'm pretty lazy about improving my personal health so it's really self inflicted.
My partner know, not the depth of how I feel, but she knows that "I want to die" based on jokes and comments I make and she is pushing for me to talk to someone.

I don't have much in the way of hobbies....hockey has always been it. I did have a job running a hockey league that I did quite enjoy until I was let go for...reasons?

I do work in a rink and retail. The jobs themselves are fine, however since both jobs are customer service, I see alot of the worst in people and the general public generally treats me like I'm a drooling idiot.

Maybe the men you hang around are the exception, but I find men are not receptive to talking about feelings, especially in a sports atmosphere. I do try to make myself available if someone is having a personal issue and try to check on them if I can, however it's not normally reciprocated.
