I never thought I’d be this alone when I was young. I encountered plenty of people who lived on their own, who relied on occasional visits from relatives to provide them with social contact, but it never occurred to me that that would be me. I suppose I lived in a pretty sheltered bubble for most of my childhood. I never learned that you had to work in order to get people in your life, in order to build worthwhile relationships. I was able to live with the delusion that things like that would just come to me. I never had to struggle or work […]
I’m miserable and I just want to go back home and pretend I don’t exist. I can’t really talk to anyone right now. I just feel so horrible. Last night all I could think about was how pathetic and ignorant I am and how I need to die. For the first time in awhile, I took something to help me sleep, because of school today and just needing to get away from my head. I woke up. I’m just out of it right now. I’m just so done with life.. life doesnt seem to need me and I dont want or need this life. I’m […]
Around the time I was trying to create an efficient reply to “People don’t magically get better” I got a message that chilled me to the bone. Apparently my former boss at the electrician gig was extending an offer of work to me.
Years of conditioning, as well as my present unpleasant economic reality meant that my gut was to take it. That little rebellious voice in my head said “wait on it, think on it” and though it froze me out of all action the rest of the night…. I succeeded at resisting.
This morning, half awake, I tried to reconcile my issues. What I realized […]
These 2 stories actually have a “good” ending, but how insane is this? These types of things are the norm, not just “a few bad apples.”
‘Dude, I Blew Zero!’: College Athlete Sues Iowa Cops for DUI Arrest
And this:
Cops Arrest Blind Man For Having A Cane
NOBODY is willing to help (and I don’t mean my specific case with my family). I mean in general. People aren’t willing to help others, which is why people always say stuff like “go for a walk,” “go journal,” “think positive,” “go see a therapist,” “go take meds/drugs.” It’s to defer them from actually having to do anything. It ends the conversation any time you try to tell them about anything.
Saying that is the equivalent to “thoughts and prayers.” It’s fine to SAY it but ACTUAL HELP is better. People need actual help. That’s why people are in […]
I really don’t want to have to go back home. It’s dysfunctional and the place I’d get is TINY and not great. Also then I’d have to deal with family shit. Also there is nothing for me in that city/state.
But idk where else I can go. I can try overseas but idk. I’m just too sick and depressed to make it work. It what I had wanted to do, but my confidence has been shot thanks to this vulnerable narcissist that purposely kicked me in the face while i was down bc she relishes in hurting people (you evil […]
Life just hurts right now. I’m not even sure why. One thing I know for sure is that being outside and looking at trees and the sky has helped.
I think my worth as a person in being helpful to those I love is deteriorating. Today is their(singular) birthday and they were very close to ending it last night, and I’ve only just found out. I know they haven’t been well, and while I put myself as far as I can to help (long distance being a large inconvenience) it’s not enough. They have a few friends that were able to help them, which I’m super thankful for, for obvious reasons. I just wish I was the one able to help, which is selfish and disgusting and I’m making myself sick just for thinking about it. […]
I was abused as a child and NOBODY did a fucking thing. Hell, they all claimed ignorance bc they “didn’t know.” They “didn’t know” only bc they didn’t bother to even talk to me. Nobody even wanted to have anything to do with me back then. And it wasn’t 1 time. Or 2 times. It was over a period of TEN YEARS so no fucking excuse.
I left home and I had nothing to do with them for the last 26 years. Turns out they’re just as shitty if not worse to me now. I told them about […]
Adjusting parameters is pretty much all I’ve ever done that has challenged me. It’s why I took to programming and software so well, because it follows simple A + B = C or A -B =C. If you know two variables, you know the third one for those a little rusty on their algebra.
Down from the esoteric logic of the process, I’ll explain using the sample of the problem I’m working on right now. Set A = base state (at this point that means medications as prescribe, normal activity levels), and B = stimulant levels, because that’s a very easy to adjust variable that also […]
Mom was abusive to me as a child. But she is the only one who even semi “cares” about me. Which is more than I can say for the rest of them- sisters, brother, cousins, uncles- don’t give a rat’s ass about me. NONE of them are willing to help me in any way or shape. Everyone except my mom would be HAPPY if I killed myself. Not kidding about that. The rest of them just want me gone. They already want nothing to do with me. I don’t talk to them. The 1 or 2 […]
Why did I get banned? I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know how to contact the owner of the site to get my acc back.
I have these wounds that can be sealed,
leaving these marks that keep.
But the wounds can never be healed,
They were way too deep.
The confidence I lack,
The damage that has been done,
Trying to fight against the attack,
when I am less than one,
I can’t breath at all.
The version of myself I want but can’t be,
Because I put up a wall,
Helping the self destruct that is me.
after years of toxic positivity, I find myself in need of discouragement talks every now and then.
This morning the temptation was rising to go back to electrical work, which on the surface seems innocent. I thought about how I enjoyed solving those problems, and getting the appropriate tools. I thought to myself “maybe it was just that employer”
but my gut knows better. My gut reminded me of how much pain it was, working for incompetent people. It reminded me of the hours doing stupid stuff, like running metal pipes for wire to go through. It reminded me how I always felt tired and I couldn’t […]
Im not in control of my own head anymore. I haven’t been in a while. Depression has taken over. I’ve been making friends with it.
I had a great shift at work yesterday then I got home and once I got in my room I just started crying. I HATE CRYING. I never wanna cry again.
I have these small little moments of excitement but its a fleeting feeling. It never lasts for very long
I got screamed at that I didn’t get my mom a coffee when I place an online order, even though I only had enough money in to get my own. She screamed at […]
I have/ had several uncles but two in particular served as a warning of what or what not to become. My Father’s side of the family being rooted in criminality. Criminality as a result of poverty, poverty of a Dickensian level. My Father managed to get out of that cycle early, he met my mother, became a homeowner and managed to do okay in life. Had he not met my mother, married a woman from the social class he grew up in, things would of been different. His brother, who I only met a few times struck me as a charismatic character, not someone you […]
I look around, Red, blue, white, black,
Hmm, what are these colours good for? Nothing absolute crap,
A goodbye, live well, farewell?
To you, although, who can bring themself to do this all alone?
Easy life for those who win, none to say thank you, I love you forever and never second,
You and me? I wanted to thank you for reaching out your hand,
Oh, but why would I thank you? It was me all along,
Under this all, who do you think I I’m? not a puppet for you to take,
Not an object for you to use and rape,
It’s the little things that make me smile,
The world, so full of […]
Like that story about the girl who pushed her “friend” off a bridge and got 2d of jail while a 16yo got put in jail (juvie) for 78d for not doing her online hw. Or the 17yo girl in Texas that got put in jail for truancy- missing more than 10d of school in a 6mo period. Or the CA mother who was jailed for 180d (SIX whole MONTHS) bc her kid cut a bunch of classes. So…if you can’t make your uncontrollable kid go to school, YOU the mother get put in jail. Mother then loses her job and her […]
Ok, so apparently you can push someone off a bridge, say “oops, sorry” and get just TWO days in jail.
Meanwhile the girl who got pushed broke 6 ribs and a punctured lung.
The story is insane.
“Prosecutors recommended NO jail time, but the judge refused to go along.”
So they made it seem like the judge was being all stern for sentencing the girl to TWO days in jail when that is just absolutely nothing.
TWO days for pushing a “friend” off a bridge. Meanwhile, this girl Grace gets jailed for 78d for not doing her online homework. Yep, makes sense to me […]
I’m so tired. I can’t sleep yet. God I just need some sleep. I don’t want to wake up anymore. This world has gone to shit and I’m becoming more paranoid. I want to run away somewhere, a place where all this shit doesn’t exist. I could breathe in peace for once. Seeing as where everything’s going right now I don’t think it will exist, perhaps it stopped existing and I just never realized. My head is just trying to sabotage me. I’m worried sick right now. I feel so alone. I wish I could just close my eyes and sleep but I can’t yet.
I […]
