Guys everything is just awful. Not even my life but life in general. Everything feels fucked up and the more time goes on the more fucked up it feels.
It feels like everyone around me is depressed and wants to die… my sister and her bf just broke up. He was depressed and said he wanted to die. Then my sister made vague suicidal threats. My own boyfriend does it while drunk too, but pretends to be ok when he is sober and says stuff like “you distract me from the bad thoughts”. My auntie is depressed. She lost her son this year and has made suicidal threats. Another auntie did in the past. My grandfather is depressed about becoming old and not achieving what he wanted in life.
Why the FUCK is everybody so miserable. It feels like everyone is but is pretending not to be most of the time. It is like depression is some viral illness… I dunno maybe I am just being dramatic. But as time goes in it feels like more and more people are becoming depressed and miserable in life. In turn it makes me feel worse. I have been depressed for years, but it feels like I am just beginning to accept how screwed up life really is… and it is not good.

Fancy seeing you ’round these parts again…
You really want to know what’s depressing? Being stuck in 42 deg Celsius heat with no A/C… Yet you Poms complain about a sweltering 25 deg day…

My cousin back home has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. His partner of many years walked in front of a train a week back – my extended family being the morons they are will not accept her death for what it is.
I’ve got a young cousin who’s more like a daughter to me, straying further and further from everything that makes her who she is. That’s mostly due to the influence of her messed up older brother, but also because I’m not there with her…
…I’m stuck in another country, with a job that I love but a work place that makes it impossible for me to be me.
Keep ya head up, Charl’.
Everyone is miserable because we have no culture anymore. We have nowhere to nest. Our friends and family are just transient creatures that come and go easily and are replaced just as easily. Our occupations are just as transient, but are in practice like mini-dictatorial regimes that can ostracize us for no reason, and our home environment is a tenuous state of flux dependent on our occupational environment. Everything is a flux, and nothing has any firm grounding, like walking over quicksand and hoping you won’t start sinking.
It definitely feels like culture, in western society at least is degrading. But who knows, maybe this is just a dark period. Though I do tend to believe I would have been happier in an older decade, like the 50s or 60s.
That’s a lot of coffee and late night venting if you want to help all of them. Christmas is around the corner. Do they all get together?
Some of us do get together. But this year it feels like everyone is more broken up, lots of bad things have happened. I think it’s just been that it’s all been a shock to my system that I’m going to slowly recover from.
Everyone is miserable because humankind is finally waking up, after 10 million years, to the notion that humankind is a mistake.
Different people react in different ways. One camp swears that we must return to the MAGA ways of the past (which is merely ignoring/censoring the problems) while the other camp rabidly espouses change but without any clear “change” proposed. The past and the future are equally f*cked, and that leaves us with the hopeless present. Nothing but hate, regardless of which direction, forward or back.
The bottom line is that we are all collectively waking up to the idea that we are all collectively f*cked. Nothing has changed, but we have simply evolved to the point of self awareness, and we can’t deal with it.
Who made the mistake of human kind?
Good question. Very good question.
You have a partner. Don’t know what you’ve got to complain about.
