My mom's been battling stage 4 cancer for years but now it's moved to her liver. She has under six months to live.
Edit, my mom died.

Two of my best friends are in a relationship now, another one of my best friends is moving to a new city to get his dream job, and my childhood friend who's like a cousin to me has been living with her girlfriend for a few months now.

Meanwhile I'm still single and still stuck at my parent's house. I'm trying to get into higher education while also somehow balancing work with that, but who knows if I'll make it this year.

Similar to Jondolio, I'm also in a close situation with my IRL friends.
All my IRL friends have their couples and whole life shenanigans right now, we haven't been able to meet up or even talk through phone due to how busy they are. We were planning to meet up this week as they finally had free time... But bad luck hit me and I got Covid, so I couldn't meet with anyone.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get into college while trying to learn to live as someone who has Asperger, Social anxiety and ADHD. A lot of efforts... But sadly not enough in my eyes to make me feel I'm making enough progress with my life.

Doesn't help that I have people here for example (whose names I won't drop publicly) Who do nothing but make me feel worse for having issues and trouble keeping up with the world... Because according to them I am nothing but an inmature kid who has no close future.

I've been feeling empty and lifeless but never the less going on with life.

A result of worrying where the world might be heading (Nuclear war). It's at that point I just can't seem to enjoy life anymore or get excited for stuff I look forward to whether its movies especially. Even when doing outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking or walking the dogs, spending time with family and friends or writing for that matter I just feel nothing...Especially being I haven't played my video games in such a long time or get much excitement out of them anymore.

I find that being so addicted to social media sometimes means my mood can flip instantly on the flip of an algorithm. Here I am, enjoying a perfectly fine day, and then my feed of "insert social media website here" recommends me something depressing or gross and I spend the rest of the day bummed out and trying to forget it.

The frustrations of a friend and mentor that you call one of your best friends is leaving to another state, possible shifts within a board I'm involved in, and pushing 30 soon.

I think it's time for a major change, but maybe I'm taking too many baby steps for a long time. I'm trying to hang around more with people my age, but the common themes are "work, life, family, "I'm busy", etc." to where I feel like I'm stuck around the senior citizens all the time.

I've moved ot of my parent's house into an institution for autistic people. It's pretty cheap and the place is supposed to help me become more independent... Thing is, I'm already pretty independent compared to most people in this institution, and if anything it's restricting me somewhat arbitrarily - I have to report whenever I leave or come back, food needs to be thrown out after a day in the fridge, I have to call the doctor if I'm feeling even a little unwell, and overall I feel like I'm being looked down on for being autistic. Not to mention one of my flatmate is extremely rude, egotistical, and leaves the most unholy smell known to man after taking a **** and is overall the most unpleasant person I've ever had to live with. All of this is making me consider finding a roommate and moving proper, I'm fairly independent and I probably have enough money to rent an apartment.

Unfortunately my friends don't seem to be interested. In fact, they don't respond to most of my messages and I haven't seen them in over two weeks. I was supposed to once but I got sick and haven't been able to plan a hangout ever since. It's making me feel pretty lonely.

Got bored and randomly remembered this thread. Just got done reading some of the cringe posts I made in here 12 years ago for ****s and giggles and then realized that that was 12 years ago and I am old now. For a legitimate unhappy thread contribution, I have been working roughly 70-hour weeks since the beginning of October, and I kind of just want to die right now.

It's cool to see that you're still around. 👍

Sorry to hear about your working conditions. Is it all for a certain project your company is working on or lack of staff?


To stay on topic a bit though, work was really rough yesterday. I got stuck on helping a single customer for about two hours straight to resolve an issue our company didn't cause and ended up missing lunch.

Yo! Nice to see a familiar name. - I work in public accounting/auditing, and right now is just our "busy season." To spare the messy details, it's essentially just a large pile of reports and due dates that can be difficult to achieve without sacrificing a lot of your free time. Should only last for another month or so, though, so there is a dim light at the end of this tunnel, at least.

Sorry to hear about your missed lunch :c

My country is slowly but surely turning into a dictatorship. I was going to attend a protest march today but then I heard the police is using shock grenades and tear gas against the protestors so that won't be happening.

My family is planning to leave the country and it seems like I might have to join them. I'm moreso worried about my friends who are mostly LGBTQ+ and likely going to have a hard time as the government establishes more and more anti-LGBTQ+ laws. I always knew I wanted to leave the country when I got older but not like this
