I appreciate all the responses here. I confess that my struggle to find the right bike has nothing to do with bikes and everything to do with the current state of my mental health. I apologize for giving you all a hard time and I can't thank you enough for playing along. when I get my life back from work and school, maybe I'll find the will to ride my bike again and maybe like myself enough to buy something nice. owning that in front of strangers on the internet is scary, but hopefully it helps someone with similar struggles.
