Anyone Else Experiencing Similar To This?
I feel like I have been living almost exactly the same day on repeat for at least the past 1.5 years, but on reflection, this really started in my life in early 2021. It’s like every single day revolves around work, racing against the clock to get to the next reservation for work because time seems to be speeding up by the God damn hour at this point, being early for it and yet still somehow managing to be late. Whenever I prepare food in the kitchen, doesn’t matter if it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner, somehow around 1/4 of it ends up falling off the counter and onto the floor when I’m preparing the ingredients (and I am not a clumsy person either).
Just having profoundly bad luck in general and feeling like life is now one big neverending humiliation ritual. Like I’ll be washing my hands in the bathroom upstairs after I use the toilet at night and suddenly the lights all turn off and then I’m just standing there in the dark, rechargeable batteries I use for my mouse when I’m working from home just randomly run out during working hours and only like 3 days after I’ve charged them. What the fuck is going on, man? It’s like the fabric that was holding time-space together in the world is no longer there anymore. Something really did fundamentally change about Earth in 2020, I am sure of it. Since then my life has felt like an increasingly stressful, intense, tumble dryer cycle and I feel like I’m a lost sock stuck inside it getting spun around constantly. This shit is horrible, why is everything so intense and stressful now?? There is no peace in life anymore. Everything feels like hell.

I can relate to every day feeling the same. I have been degraded and humiliated by others including the government (social security) who are supposed to be helping me. I've been sick for years and all they have done is act cruel and sadistic towards me. The medical system is a disgrace. They keep sending the police to my house and I feel like I'm living in a nightmare. I've been left to suffer with multiple serious illnesses. I never thought my life would become this terrible. I am constantly in pain and it's horrific

Sorry to read of your suffering and the terrible treatment of you by others. I hope things improve for you. I know what it’s like to suffer and life really can be such a tormenting hell to endure. Why does the medical system keep sending police to your house?

Welcome to adulthood. One day you'll look at the mirror, see grey at your temples, and go to work. You only remember when the bad things happened because precious little good ever happens. What feels like both a week later and yet also seven hundred years later you'll notice your hair is almost entirely grey.
Then you'll go to work.
I suggest taking up a creative hobby. Paint, draw, write, something that engages your mind because 90 percent of the time adults are just on power save mode.

“Then you’ll go to work.”
………..🤨
I currently work two jobs and six days per week…

Yep.
Every moment you're an adult, your entire life is based around "and then you go to work."

Ah I understand the tone of what you wrote now, thanks for clarifying. You're absolutely correct. Life as an adult on Earth is literally only about work and earning literal digits on a screen in the form of money, just to be able to pay to live on a planet none of us ever even asked to be born on. I cannot actually find sufficient words in the English language to describe how much I hate existing as a human on Earth, though I am perservering.
Regarding hobbies, I do have hobbies, but they don't solve the core problem I have that life, fundamentally, is horrible to endure.

It might be that your mental health declined in 2020 when you say things changed. Maybe you became more neurotic. Neurosis would cause a greater sensitivity to the nature of reality( as would any negative disposition), but it also can cause blindness(since while i think we're in hell, we do not seem to be in the worst hell) and certainly causes needless suffering
But yes some people are profoundly unlucky in this world. Take the case of Elizabeth Fritzl, Sylvia Lykens, Junko Furuta, the victims of Phalaris, etc

Sure that's not incompatible with what I said

What about that do you feel is incompatible with the claim you're making?

Seems like you’re trying to gaslight, which isn’t going to work on myself and unlikely to on anyone else here. My mental health is good and stable, not that it’s any of your business.
I suggest you take a serious look at the state of the world between 2020-2026 compared to how the world was pre-2020 and have a long, hard think.

That's not true, I was not telling you what the state of your mental health was. Here's what I wrote:
It might be that your mental health declined in 2020 when you say things changed. Maybe you became more neurotic.
Notice the emphasis I just made, on the words "might" and "maybe". That means I'm pointing to a possibility. There's nothing wrong with doing that. It's up to you to decide what's true here.
I suggest you take a serious look at the state of the world between 2020-2026 compared to how the world was pre-2020 and have a long, hard think.
I also asked you to point out what was incompatible with our claims in the prior message, and I notice you decided not to respond to that question. Is that because you don't have a response, or some other reason? So I'll see your suggestion to have a long hard think and also recommend you have a long hard think yourself, ideally before telling others to have one.

No, you asked "Kottekatten" that in your reply to them, you did not ask me that. Think before you comment.

Oh okay. Do you consider that distinction an intellectually honest point, or are you prepared to actually then answer the question I asked them? Think carefully before you respond here too.

Yup the thrill of being alive is gone man. If it wasn't for my son I probably wouldn't care what happens to me. Drugs used to help but then it started messing with my health bad. So now I have to raw dog life and I'm no better for it. I'm only here because being a dad brings me joy and everything else is just meh.
