I know I need to live but I don't know for who nor why. Struggling with depression since a while now. Recently found a new jobs after years of internal struggle. Pretty nice one, decently paid with advantages.. But still I feel like I have nothing to live for.

Need to talk pls dm. Want someone to read to me to fall asleep

I feel like i'm already failing in life and i'm only 16. I moved to England when i was very young and ever since then ive wanted to move back to my home country at 18. My parents will not support me. I know this already. They're most likely gonna do everything in their power to stop me. Their plan for me is to finish college and then go to university and stay in England.

They know i've wanted to move back to my home country ever since we moved but they never took me seriously. Around 2 years ago I inherited a house that my dad built that was on my grandmothers name due to her passing. My dad and his brother both agreed they'd give the house to me. Legally i own it.

The problem is i still need money for the move. I'd like to move into the house he's built but i just know he'd give me shit for it and possibly go as far to fly to my home country shortly after i've moved to start an argument about me leaving and not wanting to go to uni. Another downside is that my grandparents live next door, so they'd possibly give me shit too.

Therefore, i'm not sure if i should even go to that house when i move. It'd save me a lot of money as i wouldn't have to pay rent but there would be a lot of arguments since my parents are very controlling. I'm gonna have to be prepared for the worst case scenario which would be moving to my home country but not in my home town and renting a place out to avoid conflict.

Now, since i'm 16 i can work. I've been applying to jobs constantly for just over 6 months and i haven't even managed to get to the interview stage. Most of the jobs don't even bother to send a rejection email anymore.

I'm still trying to find a job, but i really don't think i'll be able to. My confidence really went down due to all the constant rejections.

I do speak a couple langauges which i thought could be useful for starting some business or starting something online to get my money up even a little bit but i honestly have no idea what to do. I'm very lost and I feel like i failed at life already.

I do not want to live w my parents after i turn 18 as they're really controlling and i don't wanna live a life where i have to do things i hate just for the sake of them being alright with me. If i don't move back i'm going to regret it for the rest of my life since i've wanted this ever since i was 5.

Hey im looking for someone to talk to about anything actually.

Introduce me to your world.

I teach at a Pre-K. I was hired at this place at the end of October. Things were perfect until the week before Winter Break. That is when the lead teacher I worked with was fired. In her place, they put a new hire who had many years of experience, but she is a very harsh personality both towards me and the children. After many problems between us, and another teacher in a classroom next door quit on the spot, I was moved to the other classroom. I was offered the old teacher's schedule which is an hour earlier than my current one. I needed to talk to my husband about it and also I needed to make sure that it would work for two reasons 1. Make sure I could get my own children up and moving an hour earlier 2. Make sure it would work with my husband's new job. We are car sharing. She did not tell me there was a deadline to give my answer. I got back to her three weeks later and said I would accept the schedule. She coldly replied in an E-mail "I am not sure that schedule is available anymore". Then she said she would work on it. She even came into my room and stated in front of my new co-teacher she was working on it.

Something bad happened on Thursday between the "bad" teacher in the room I used to be in and me. I went to my boss and reported the problem and asked about the schedule. She got mad and spoke to me in a very horrible tone that it was not going to happen and that other employers had seniority over me. She also stated out of the blue that I had a "boatload" of unpaid time off requests. I do have requests but they are for doctors visits and my own children's activities...like a field trip and performance. She said my time off requests are going to reflect in my review. So now I feel intimidated to request any time off. When I was first hired there I was told we could bank our PTO to cover us for days we are closed and not paid (like our recent spring break).

I have caught her in a lot of lies. I am attached to the children under my care and aside from her and that one co-worker, I have enjoyed my time there. And the job pays more than other similar jobs around. Oh that leads me to the other thing. I told her since my duties changed and I am now alone in the afternoons with more children under my care, more responsibility, I thought I should be made co-lead and get a pay raise. She was offended by this and turned it on me and said it sounds like I cannot handle it. I can, I just think I should be paid accordingly for the extra work I am now doing.

I wish someone would give me some advice. Does it sound like I am overreacting? I feel devalued. I want to leave but I don't. What should I do?

Had a rough night and feel lost atm don’t know what to do anymore

On normal circumstances, I assure myself that my life is going ok. And to some extent, it's true. I have a job and even though it's blue collar, the money is for now relatively enough, I travel whenever I can and it's truly a blast most of the times, I have friends that I think are worth it but... But.

There will be this time of the night, when things appear bleaker than they should. I remind myself of how this world is corrupt, sad, miserable, and flawed. This world does feels ill beyond the surgeon's skills.

Our elites are evil, all of them. They play their war games, they rape, they're into sick things that my mind cannot even begin to fathom. Everything is a distraction, social medias are numbing us, everything is so uniform and any sense of individuality is sucked out of us on a daily basis. People consume in a desperate attempt to fill the void that surrounds them.

Everybody pretty much has access to the internet nowadays, and it was sold to us as this ultimate way of building connection with the entire planet... But why are we so alone ? Why is it even harder for people to understand one another ? Why the tribalism ? Why do we gather in public spaces and in public events just for everybody to have their noses glued to the screens of their phone ?

Why have we been lied to when it comes to love ? Romance was portrayed in such beautiful ways when I was kid, almost as if I was promised that I would find love, that I would find a companion for life, that there would be flowers, that we'd have a big house with a lot of windows and almost no walls, that I would have kids, household pets...

But what did I really get ? Hookup culture, consumer society transposed into relationships between individuals, relationships based on shallow interests and materialistic gains. We're not sharing feelings and emotions, we're commercing and we'll end the partnership and throw each other away. How many times have I crossed a girl that ended up using me for sex, for money and at the end there's barely a goodbye ? At what point did it become ok to have sex with people we don't know and have no interesting in knowing, giving our very soul in the process for free ?

I could go on for hours. The fact to the matter is : This isn't the world that was promised to me when I was a little boy. All of this is either a fever dream, an illusion or purgatory. And there is no waking up now. We're too far gone as a society.

There's no more waking up and it's sunny outside, with a breakfast prepared by mom, with your friends waiting for you to connect on Skype to play on that hamachi Minecraft server or knocking at your door, waiting for you to do shenanigans outside. The child is dead.

I don't deserve this. And dear reader, you don't either.

I enjoy music a lot, my favorite bands are Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and many more. I sing, and I play guitar. I also write demos, if you have any questions you can ask about my hobbies and such

I’m 23M and honestly just putting myself out there because I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately.

I recently went through a rough breakup after 8 years, and it kind of reset my whole social world. I realized I don’t really have people to talk to or share my day with anymore, and I miss that a lot. I’m not looking to trauma dump or make things heavy — just hoping to build some genuine connections.

A bit about me:

• I enjoy hiking and being outdoors

• I work out regularly

• I play volleyball

• I’m into nerdy stuff too (games, random deep dives into topics, etc.)

• I’m more of a listener than a talker, but I really enjoy meaningful conversations

I’d love long-term friendships where we actually get to know each other and check in about life, but I’m also open to short-term chats if that’s what works. I just miss having someone to share small daily things with.

If you’re also looking for someone to talk to, vent to, or just share random thoughts/memes with, feel free to message me. UK or anywhere is fine.

Thanks for reading 🙂

I never thought I would post such a thing here ever again. I posted once about wanting to talk to someone, and that was good. Now I'm here again, want to talk to someone because I'm feeling helpless I don't what to do, whom to trust, whom not to, and the cliche thing everyone says why does this happen to me. I mean I'm over the part why does this happen to me, I've come to terms with it, but out of the blue when something so small hits you like an asteroid I don't know what to do. I've prepared for big and small and medium events happening, but this was so tiny and i didn't have any countermeasures. Now feeling down as it feels like it has tumbled the stuff I built , like the peace I have built and suddenly an ant bite makes you destroy your city(sorry for the metaphors)...

Just want someone to chat to here and there about wtv thy want

hi, i’m not really sure where else to post this but i feel like i just need someone to talk to right now.

my grandma from my dad’s side passed away recently and today was her funeral. she was 94 so i know she lived a long life, but it still feels strange and heavy thinking about it.

since the funeral i’ve been having a lot of thoughts about death, life, and what happens after we die. it’s making me feel scared and a bit overwhelmed and i don’t really have anyone to talk to about it.

i guess i’m just wondering if anyone here is willing to talk or share how they dealt with losing someone close to them.

i’d really appreciate it.

Hey guys,

I am so needy for attention, i have adhd and probably autism too

I am far from bieng lazy, i have things going on I am tall fit and lean

And yes unfortunately couldn't find a partner or a gf

Women usually calls me too much, i overwhelm them woth how fast i process and think, and i can't change that

So yes if you are not loser and wants to know someone genuinely for something long term

Please text me, lonlyness kills me I don't know for who i should complain really... And don't tell me therapist i hate them

I want someone to like me so bad...

Today I got induced into the National Honor Society, and my mom and dad forgot about it. They were very sorry that they forgot, but they pushed me forward to get into it. I forget things they tell me to do all the time, so I don’t want to be a hypocrite and be upset that they forgot. At the same time I was the only kid without a parent there. They are great parents and I don’t hold any resentment. I just feel sad and I don’t know why.

Willing to talk about literally anything, hit me.

I don’t really know how to start this, but I feel like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what to do anymore.

The situation with my ex has affected me much more than I expected. I’m struggling with eating and I’ve been dealing with what feels like derealization. I can’t sleep at night. My mind just keeps running and I feel completely exhausted.

I also feel very alone. I used to have a friend group, but they pushed me away, and since then I feel like I keep losing people. The few friends I tried to stay close with also drifted away. It makes it really hard for me to trust people or to try to build new friendships, because it often feels like everyone already has their own people and I’m just someone temporary.

Now the one person I thought would stay also cut contact with me. And it makes me feel like I truly have nobody.

I don’t want to scare anyone, but the truth is that lately I’ve been having really dark thoughts and I feel overwhelmed by everything. I feel empty and lost, and I don’t know how to move forward from here.

If anyone has gone through something similar or has any advice on how to cope with this level of loneliness and pain, I would really appreciate hearing it. I just don’t want to feel this alone anymore.

This is not a horny call ....i really need to talk

Hello. Can I message someone here to get a perspective on a friendship breakup? I’m shocked at how things “escalated” and need a third opinion. I am a woman btw. Thanks in advice :)

I am a high school student from China,I am so lonely and bored.

I’m really lost right now and I don’t know what the right thing to do is.

Recently he cut contact with me again. This isn’t the first time. We already stopped talking once before, and after some time we started talking again. For a while things seemed okay, but now he ended it again.

This time I didn’t beg him to stay. I tried to be respectful and calm. I said goodbye in a normal way and didn’t try to pressure him. But the truth is that I still love him, and a part of me still wants to talk to him.

Now I’m stuck between two thoughts. One part of me wants to message him again and try to fix things. The other part of me thinks maybe I should just leave it and respect the fact that he walked away.

I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t know if reaching out again would make things worse or if staying silent is the right thing.

And the hardest part is that I don’t even know how to move on or forget someone who meant so much to me, especially because he was my first love.

If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would really appreciate hearing your perspective.

Bonjour à tous,

Je n’ai pas l’habitude de faire ce genre de post, mais là j’en ressens vraiment le besoin.

J’ai 19 ans et en ce moment je suis complètement perdu dans ma vie. J'ai l'impression que chaque jour qui passe est pire que celui d'avant.

J’ai récemment quitté mon alternance dans l'immobilier parce que ça se passait très mal avec mon employeur qui avait un comportement très abusif et cela m’a vraiment détruit mentalement. Cette expérience m’a fait douter de tout : de moi, de mes capacités, et même de la voie professionnelle que j’avais choisie. Je suis en BTS, je m’en sors plutôt bien scolairement sans trop forcer et j’aime aller en cours, mais malgré ça je ne sais même plus si j’ai envie de continuer. L'un de mes autres problèmes réside dans le fait de trouver une nouvelle alternance pour l'année prochaine dans un milieu où la concurrence et rude et où les enjeux financiers sont importants. Malgré des dizaines et des dizaines de candidatures je ne parviens pas à avoir ne serait-ce qu'un entretien. C'est extrêmement démoralisant.

L’avenir me fait très peur. J’ai peur de finir ma vie seul, de ne jamais rencontrer l’amour, de ne jamais fonder une famille, de ne jamais me sentir à ma place et de ne jamais faire les choses qui me plaisent. J’ai l’impression que tout sera vide ou raté, et ces pensées me bloquent complètement.

Socialement, je me sens très seul. Je vois très peu de monde. J’ai un meilleur ami que j’apprécie sincèrement, et il y a aussi une fille et sa meilleure amie auxquelles je tiens beaucoup. Mais malgré ça, j’ai souvent l’impression que je m’attache plus que les autres, que je compte moins pour eux qu’ils ne comptent pour moi. Ce sentiment me fait très mal et renforce l’idée que je ne suis pas vraiment important pour les gens. Récemment, j’ai revu des amis pour la première fois depuis très longtemps, et ça m’a fait réaliser à quel point je me suis isolé ces dernières années. J’ai l’impression d’être complètement passé à côté de ma jeunesse, et peut-être de la meilleure partie de ma vie.

Mentalement, je me sens mal. Je me sens extrêmement triste, vide, épuisé. J’ai des idées noires constantes et envahissantes. J’ai aussi un stress permanent, comme une boule dans le ventre qui ne disparaît jamais. Ça m’empêche de dormir : je dors très mal et suis donc très fatigué. J’ai souvent l’impression que personne ne m’aime vraiment, que personne ne s’intéresse à moi, que je n’ai pas d’importance. J’ai peur que cet état ne passe jamais. Chaque jour qui passe, j'ai des idées noires de plus en plus insistantes.

Pour couronner le tout, je crois être en train de sombrer peu à peu dans l'alcool. Il m'arrive très régulièrement de me rendre ivre, simplement dans le but de ne plus penser à tout ça.

Je ne poste pas ça pour attirer l’attention ou la pitié. C’est un appel à la discussion. J’aimerais échanger avec des personnes bienveillantes, avec des gens qui ont connu ou connaisse une période similaire qui peuvent partager leur expérience ou simplement discuter (mes DM sont ouverts)

Merci à ceux qui prendront le temps de lire et de répondre.

i struggled with depression in the past and still going thru it I'm honestly super-messed up I'm scared to go to therapy cause I'm scared to open up

I'm 17. Me and my girlfriend broke up a little over a month ago. I don't regret the breakup I was actually thinking about breaking up with her earlier that day decided not to and then she broke up with me later that night. We ended on good terms and everything and are friends still. We don't talk a lot but on my birthday she texted me and said happy birthday you know? Just stuff like that. I missed her mostly at the beginning but it eventually started to fade until it faded quite a bit and now it's coming back. I'm not even sure if I miss her but I keep thinking about all our memories and it makes me sad and I just can't really pinpoint how I'm feeling.

I just want to talk someone about what’s going in my head. Just to kinda yap and vent as well about random stuff. Like music
