The inept and corrupt presidency of Donald Trump has unwittingly triggered the fatal blow to the American empire—the abandonment of the dollar as the world’s principal reserve currency. Nations around the globe, especially in Europe, have lost confidence in the United States to act rationally, much less lead, in issues of international finance, trade, diplomacy and war. These nations are quietly dismantling the seven-decade-old alliance with the United States and building alternative systems of bilateral trade. This reconfiguring of the world’s financial system will be fatal to the American empire, as the historian Alfred McCoy and the economist Michael Hudson have long pointed out. It will trigger an economic death spiral, including high inflation, which will necessitate a massive military contraction overseas and plunge the United States into a prolonged depression. Trump, rather than make America great again, has turned out, unwittingly, to be the empire’s most aggressive gravedigger.

My body is 33. I've...seen things. And experienced things, though thankfully not as bad as the things I've seen.

You're still managing to be human, so that's gotta count for something. Don't be too eager to check out, I doubt there are do-overs.

There are, just not of the particular life you checked out of, and that's precisely what I don't want. Suicides are almost always forced to reincarnate, as I understand it. So hopefully whatever this all means, if I stick it out I'm done and don't need to do the flesh thing any longer.

I don't share your convictions in this area, but I do wish you a better/happier continued existence. May you find some joy in this limiting flesh.

Yeah, Coolgopher is right, don't create a self-fulfilling prophecy. You're adding unnecessary stress and anxiety to your life by dwelling on this.
Maybe (I don't know you so this is pure guesswork) you need to expand your horizons more, get out, fill your time better? When I have too much unstructured time, my mind can wander into some very dark places.
Just a thought is all.
Best to you.
