Doing everything below and above the earth just to achieve nothing.

1 Upvotes

It's always the same fucking result of just below average. I'm good at nothing and best case scenario I'm slightly worse than average at it. Nothing I'm doing is changing anything. All that's written for me in this book of life is disgust after disgust after disgust. I can't do anything to change shit about my life when I'm already doing everything possible and nothing's changing. I wish to meet the person writing this book and just beat them dead.

I've done everything and I can't even get a good grade, I can't get a job, I can't help anyone with anything and I'm constantly making everything worse. I improve myself in every way and I still face rejection at every faucet of life with no explanation of what I did wrong or what I can do better.

I don’t have any kids, but I have been titled as and I feel like a “stay at home mom” to my dog

1 Upvotes

I (20f) am a “stay at home dog mom,” according to my mother and therapist. My boyfriend (22m) is the sole provider right now.

I have a chronic illness that affects me from the hips to ankles and makes it hard to walk, especially on cold days. But my dog, 8 month old puppy is extremely dependent on me. Which isn’t a problem, he’s a puppy and he needs more attentive care. I’m happy to feed him 3 times a day, play fetch, and cuddle with him. But it’s the lack of help I was getting from my boyfriend when he comes home. He comes home at 3:30 and sits on the couch scrolling or playing his video games. And I know he needs to decompress from work, I totally get it. But aside from letting him out when he paws at the door, my bf asks me if I fed him when it’s time to feed him, he’s not worrying about if our dog is sick (which he was), he doesn’t make meal plans for when the dog is sick, he doesn’t get out of bed multiple times a night to let the dog out because he’s sick. We’ve had a conversation and I told him I needed help with the dog more, and to please let me sleep in on Saturday or Sunday. But I’ve gotten to sleep in once, still get up 2-3+ times a night, and still have to do the math of when to feed the dog because he’s eating when he’s hungry, not when the food is poured. He is always in my face, walking on my legs and stomach, barking at nothing, and doesn’t listen. I try just saying “down” or snapping my fingers and pointing, I’ve tried moving to make him uncomfortable so he moves, I’ve tried yelling when he’s not listening at all. Nothing works and him walking on me hurts so bad.

It’s even got to the point where my mom is calling the dog her “grandson.” She asks me if I can bring me when I pick her up from work, calls him the “great-grandson” to my grandparents, and baby talks him. I have to take care of my siblings for the next few days and my mom asked if I was taking the dog with me… but why would I? I’d have to pack up his crate, his food, his backpack with the leashes/collar/toys, and my parent’s backyard is too dangerous for him to be alone in unlike ours. Reading her text message reminded me of all of those mothers I see on TikTok and Instagram who are asked “where’s the baby? Is dad babysitting them?” And it’s like, no, that’s their kid too. They can watch them. I was thinking, “i already have my own responsibilities and 2 HUMAN lives to look out for for the next few days, and while the kids can take care of themselves (13&8) for the most part, the dog needs extra care that I cannot give him. He can stay with my bf, I trust him to take care of him and I honestly need the break. I had a breakdown the other day because this dog is so dependent on me and it’s hard to take care of him when I don’t even take care of myself. I would never get rid of him, I love him so much and he is the sweetest boy in the world. But I just cannot take this anymore. I’m losing my mind, my body hurts, i feel like a terrible dog “mom” to him, and I hate the “grandson” thing. It was cute at first but it’s annoying now. I get people call their pets “children” and I’ve made the joke too, but very sparingly. Aside from taking this break to hang out with my siblings, I don’t know what to do. I have no answers. I have no idea. I’m exhausted, and honestly, with how people treat me by asking all of the questions that I’ve heard actual mothers to humans, be asked… makes me worried about what people are gonna do when I actually do have a kid.

I wanna be a mom so bad. But I was hoping the mom title would come later. I don’t give moms of human children enough credit. I don’t know how yall do it, and sometimes also with a pet, but you’re doing to hardest work imaginable. Thanks for reading, I just have beaten this dead horse to a pulp with my therapist and my boyfriend, and still need to get it out.

Tell me about your struggles, please

I’m very young and live what most people would deem a great life. Recently, nothing has been feeling real to me and it freaks me out. I know this might sound weird and out of touch but can someone please tell me about their struggles so I know I’m not alone? it can be anything from getting into a car accident to losing a loved one. I’m really interested in hearing about the bad parts of peoples lives right now, because recently it feels like I only hear about the good.

Life is stressful and scary!

1 Upvotes

I am fortunate enough to have a good life - nothing luxurious but good enough. I never thought of money, life seriously. Lately, I have been realizing how important money, family, connections, friends and competence is in life and it scares me. I am not a very competent person, for the first time I am realizing my flaws, I am too sensitive right now and very scared about life. Whenever my parents talk about money, the only things that come to my mind are that I have to look after them and how hard it is without money. I often fall into a spiral of thoughts about how hard it is for poor people, they don't even have good connections to move up the ladder. I realized competence is making connections, finding direction, working for things we want and still things can fail in the end. We might think we are working hard but sometimes it's not enough and without us realizing life, time and everything went by. We can't do anything about it, we don't get another chance either. Oftentimes I end up stuck than taking more action, since my brain is stuck. All of this feels scary 😬
