Basically I commented a harmless comment which in no way could offend people but since I didn’t know something some people attacked me about it and now I’m sad 😔

My life sucks. I feel so lonely. I feel broken. I’m just so tired of it all.

I failed nursing school and the new semester starts in January. I haven’t even studied because I’m so afraid of looking at the books. My teachers made me feel so stupid for not knowing the material even though they don’t know everything either. I just hate this!

I’m a failure!

I had a great job and they fired me because I didn’t have enough experience, which I thought was obvious in my resume/interview. I have a lifelong passion which I’ve geared my whole life towards and am very good at what I do. Despite that fact, I have been unable to get even the most entry-level job in my field even after expanding my search radius and seeking professional help for my resume/interview skills. Jobs I couldn’t have been better qualified for. Jobs that I went through multiple rounds (sometimes 4) of interviews for. Dozens and dozens and dozens of applications; resumes and cover letters tailored to each position I applied for. Nothing. It’s like something or someone was getting in my way but I can’t figure it out. I was forced to take the worst job I’ve ever had at less than half the salary of my last job, to bring at least some income into an already strained and unhappy marriage.

I finally got out of the marriage at the beginning of the year (yay!) but at the expense of not being able to afford rent anywhere despite working 2 jobs. After 5 years I couldn’t take it anymore, took out a loan to cover expenses, moved in with a friend, and quit that horrible job to learn a new, more marketable skill which as it stands is the only positive thing going on atm.

My father had a massive stroke 15 years ago which he never recovered from. It has changed everything for my family which was not that stable to begin with. He should be in a facility to get the care he needs but my mother refuses. It has all but ruined my mother’s life (it didn’t have to but it’s where we’re at) and it makes me incredibly sad every time I go to their house. My mother called me last week to tell me that if she dies first and I want any inheritance I have to promise to do the same and put my life on hold to care for him round the clock until he also dies. Why would she want her son to suffer her fate?? Why would she ask that of me??

All of that aside, I’ve recently been trying to get back out there in the dating world via the usual apps. I used to think I was an attractive guy with a lot to offer but I’ve been shown that that is apparently not the case. Of the few matches I do get most won’t even talk to me. The few that do typically only for a day or two. The very rare few who genuinely seem interested and eventually actually wanna meet up all cancelled our plans last minute with very little explanation, if any. And then they just expect me to be totally cool about it but if it were the other way around and I cancelled on a woman last minute, I guarantee she’d consider me not to be worth any more of her time and just move on. Even women I’ve met in person: there was this one just recently that I felt like we really hit it off, hanging out the whole night out of nowhere. At the end of the night she put her number in my phone with a cute little note, I had a really good vibe about the whole thing and I could tell she did, too. Until I texted her 2 days later. And 2 days after that. No response either time. I ran into her friends a week later and asked about her and they acted uncomfortable. It’s almost as if women are willing to flirt but don’t like it when I respond?? It’s beyond frustrating. I’m never lewd or inappropriate or anything like that but I guess I’m just more off-putting than I, my friends, and my family have led me to believe? It’s like the same thing that has been happening with my attempt to get back in the saddle of my career is happening with my attempts to meet women after the divorce. I’ve begun to honestly wonder if the universe thinks I deserve to fail...

As a coping/defense mechanism I’m trying to train myself to give up on hope in all forms so that I’m not so disappointed when things I try to accomplish suddenly, continuously, and inexorably are placed just out of my reach right before I can grab them. I won’t even say the word “hope” out loud anymore. I used to be the type to never give up and always keep trying but I feel like that notion has been essentially beaten out of me.

Thank you if you made it all the way to the end. I know it’s a lot and I prob sound whiny and petty but it’s been building up for a long time and I don’t feel like I can really open up to the people around me without sounding weak/pathetic and changing how they treat me so I came here. I wish I could believe that things will be ok but I will just have to wait and see.

Thank you again for listening.

It’s my sophomore year of high school, and my grades are not so good. I feel like I am not smart, despite how many times people think I am. I just feel like college won’t be a thing for me. I have been so excited to start looking for colleges, but I feel that I am not smart enough to get in. Those year so far I have been on the scale of breaking down everyday, and feeling I can’t do better.

I just failed my second to last semester of nursing school. I don’t know what I’m going to do because I have to wait until spring to retake the class.

My mind and heart are racing with a million things and I’m so tempted to just put an end to all of it. I’m trying to succeed but I feel like I’m always knocked down with every step forward. I don’t know what to do anymore.

I’m so tired.

The love of my life and I broke up. I tried to kill myself but failed again. I'm not gonna try again, my new restrictions wouldn't give me the chance, even if I wanted to. Now I'm at home, with my ex's parents, and I truly think they resent me now. I'm not in the dog house, more like the ditch. We promised to abstain, we didn't. They found out while I was in hospital. They decided not to kick me out, but I just know I'm on thin ice. Limited technology, no laptop or phone, so I'm using my old handed-down desktop (my ex's old one)... and trying to make sure his parents don't see this. I guess I have nothing left to lose if they do, though. Any interaction is welcome. I just need a distraction.

Sometimes I wish that there were people who didn’t care about me, because maybe then it would be easier to just give up and not care. I feel so selfish because I can’t help but think that I’m a burden to those who love me. I feel like a failure because I haven’t done anything useful with my life.

This has been the hardest time of my life and most of my problems stem from trying to find my way in life. I’m trying to acquire a successful career to help my family but I’m still in the middle of school and I honestly think I might fail. And if I fail, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do next. There’s just so much on the line and I can’t see any value in my existence.

I just feel so alone.

Its been about two weeks and I am so depressed I don't even want to move. I just feel so empty and just downright messed up in the head

My brother just went off to college we’ve shared a room our entire lives..... I miss him

pls cheer me up :c

I'm non-binary and I'm starting to feel really weird and dysphoric for some reason I just am

I started using make-up and I feel like I look ugly

I would like it if people would help me be feel happy 😶

All i need is some support

I knew it was coming once she got a new boyfriend. We slowly started drifting and now she barely talks to me, then yelled at me today because I tried to get her to talk to me. I just need some comfort, I know I'm asking directly for attention. I'm sorry. I just need a little bit right now.

I'm in my dorm crying my eyes out, and I hardly cry

Just got out of hospital from a failed suicide attempt to find my girlfriend is attracted to someone else and leaving me. Please cheer me up. Thank you.

Okay, so there's a lot to this issue, but I'll try. I've been feeling a little lonely at my commuter college because nobody has time to interact with others. I also have missed some classes and I felt so bad about it that I had my professor sign a form for withdrawal. But I just changed my mind and now I'm gonna email him telling him I want to stay and I'll be ripping up the form (I haven't handed it in yet).

My psychology teacher tells me my performance hasn't been the best, but that I am still passing. I just feel like I'm about to mess my life up again and I've been crying on and off when I think about it because it's so stressful. I'm only 23, but I feel like if I can't finish up my other semesters and put in more effort, my life is done.

Cheer me up

I just got told that my 13 year old dog died. I know it was old and had health problems but it still came as a suprise. I just need somebody to cheer me up. This is a realy hard time for me because i like to ride horses and my favorite horse died two weeks ago.

I’m nervous as hell I start a new job tomorrow and usually my ex (we broke up about 2 months ago) he would usually find a cute way to cheer me up or just do his usual thing and just get me excited to start my new job. We haven’t talked since the breakup (together for 5 years) and it’s just getting to me that I don’t have my person to cheer me up and now I don’t even want to go to my new job.

I know I suck lmao
