I truly feel for you. I was recently (and kind of still am) in a terrible place in life. Sticking my neck out for other people, ended up putting me in a worse off spot, then the people I helped threw me under the bus and left me to rot after I had just done everything in my power to help and protect them when THEY were in need.

Was in the military for almost six years, got hurt pretty bad, medically discharged, suffer intense and chronic pain daily. The VA is absolutely horrible, they don't care about us. I don't ask for special treatment, I want what I was promised and what I deserve - treatment for the injuries I sustained while in the military. Scars cover the majority of my arms to the point where I can't wear short sleeves without feeling self conscious.

But even though all that shit happens and we feel horrible and want to fight everything nearby, it still doesn't give me an excuse to take it out on innocent people because they did something that upset me or annoyed me. They don't KNOW my pet peeves because they don't know ME, so it isn't fair for you to take out your anger and personal issues on people who don't know you, which is why I said "they don't know you from Adam". Can't expect them to tiptoe around you pet peeves even if they DID know your pet peeves, which they couldn't possibly.
