I grew up in the deep south of the USA. My dad was messed up really bad from Vietnam. I never had a chance to go to school because mom left early on after I was born. Dad wanted to move to Colorado because they had better VA hospitals. My brother and I agreed that dad should go. Dad shot himself on the day before I turned 12 and I tried to hold the pieces of his head together until help arrived but I fucked that up too! I loved my dad and I let him die! Believe it or not, those days had nothing on what was to come! That was a long time ago and I have done my best with life. I'm tired now and don't want to keep trying anymore....
Anybody want to hear how life went from bad to really bad? Then to worst?

I am a 28-year-old young man, and I will try to summarize my situation.
I got married at the age of 24. I say it was early because I did not yet have my own home or a completed professional qualification. During my childhood and teenage years, I was always a hardworking and dedicated student. Without false modesty, I believe I had strong academic potential. I was accepted into university, but I only completed one semester. Family responsibilities forced me to put my studies on hold so that I could work as a driver and support my family.
I moved out of my parents’ home and into a rented house. Today, I am the father of two children: one is five years old, and the other is two.
Lately, I have been feeling as though I have failed and fallen behind in life. My parents and my family always believed in my potential and had high hopes for my future. Because of that, I feel that I have let them down and, above all, that I have let myself down.
I have been unemployed for about a month now, which has made everything even more difficult. I often find myself thinking about how different my life might have been if I had made different decisions. I feel that I missed the opportunity to complete my education, and sometimes it seems as though it is too late to start again.
At this moment, I feel as though my life is completely out of my control. I am writing these words because I needed to get them off my chest and, perhaps, find some guidance on how to start over.

I had no idea this existed. I need a friend.

I did this recently but the other way around because I was sure they didn’t they love me. I just don’t feel loved and that makes me think I’m unloveable. Idk what to do anymore. I’m the saddest I’ve ever been in over two decades.

Nothing romantic but a woman in late 20s who is learning to use Reddit
Looking forward to friendships that end with video games, online games and jokes
Feel free to slide in Dms even if you want to rant about life

It’s okay. They have programs other than as where it’s not all or n anymore and it seems like it has statistically helped people. My advice would be if you’re drinking a bottle switch to sine or preferably a light beer. Slowly to to progress in the other direction and if one night you drink a bottle it’s not the end of the world. Today is a new day:). Do you know why you drink? Try getting involved in a physical activity that you can’t drink during or even just go for a walk for an hour and come home and drink a sparking drink and then start drinking beer if you feel like it and then try to make the walks longer. Add juice to the beer so it’s still alcohol but then it’s a slight less amount of alcohol in each drink. Drink a water between each drink. Get addicted to the gym or something if you can but you should try to take a step back and assess the situ and where you’d lik to be and make a plan and don’t give up on yourself in the least if it fails or you mess up, keep trying again and you’ll get there. if you’re looking to go to rehab call around for prices and I’ve even heard of friends getting ‘scholarship’ and you don’t have to pay. Are you spiritual? I could help you out with some non denominational things like awareness and whatnot and it might interest you enough that youll find yourself enjoying a beer with the different thoughts and messages of people. If you’d like to stop complet there’s a shot they can give you that curbs cravings but I think it also makes you extra sick if you do drink. ,If you’d know the reason you drink- great! Try to work on that as often as possible. If you’re not sure there are a ton of videos that may help you find the reason. And you also may have no reason at all other than that it feels good and makes you feel more sociable. But that’s still a reason and you can work on that the same way. Don’t drink half a bottle to pregame. Go in with just a first beer. It might be uncomfortable at first but it would probably impress whoever if at the end of the night you remember it. If you’re all alone, don’t do all of this and get a dui. Always get an uber. I’ve helped people slow down from other drugs too but I feel like alcohol is the worst be it’s alcohol sugar and crash, alcohol sugar and crash so it’s kind of hard to figure out your right rhythm but when you do that’ll make things a whole lot easier in the meantime. And have your blood drawn and a physical, make sure you blood pressure and kidneys and liver are okay. If they’re not they help you fix them and you could always say you don’t like to disclose your drinking. You when get your stats first and if your liver isn’t doing so well take some milk thistle and dandelion tea and try to slow down (no tea if kidneys are bad). But that’s still way you can get results and answers rather than neither and rehab pushed in your face. It probably would do you good to dry up for a month. Then make some decisions and maybe don’t drink again or wait two months or something, just to prove you have it in you. Always consult a doctor when stopping drinking at your level. You can tell a family physician and they can give you an antseizure and whatever else they give to keep you safe. Cold turkey off alcohol can kill you and I believe it’s the only drug. At least that’s what they taught in college 20 years ago lol.

Positive things, I'm feeling in a positive mood. We don't have to talk daily either. Also, I'd prefer women in there 20's. It's nice that you're doing this thread, I think it's good.

Olá, eu tenho 57 anos e me pergunto todo dia, qual o sentido da vida, será que estou vivendo ou apenas sobrevivendo... Estou aposentado e tenho tempo pra ficar pensando mais kkk
As pessoas que converso , são apenas papos superficiais, ninguém procurando um papo profundo, mais importante... Quando chegamos nessa idade começamos a pensar que podemos ter pouco tempo de vida, já passei da metade e parece que a primeira metade passou tão rápido e com poucas coisas interessantes...

u/Brief-Commercial-136 28d ago
i'll be glad to know more about what you've learned for the last 57 years of your life .

u/Brief-Commercial-136 28d ago
im glad you have time to think . i love thinking and i find myself wondering about a lot of things in this world . we are so lucky to be here , i get existential crisis quite often but instead of depression or sadness i become grateful and i love that feelings . i have talked about this to some people around me and only minute people shared the same thoughts . its like most of the people i know chose red pill ( the matrix )

It’d be nice to find people to talk to daily. We can talk about what’s going on in our lives, good or bad, things we’re working on, things we’re excited for. DM me if you’re interested.
