What's bothering you right now?

[pillowpet13]

I feel completely disconnected from reality and I'm having trouble connecting with people :(

 

[ToTheEgress]

Just broke as usual, and feeling isolated. Like I've lost a lot of agency. I've had some good news recently but I'm just feeling numb from it in a way.

 

[Simba]

What's bothering me right now is that I'm running out of time in the program for autistics that I'm in and I'll be further away from my friends :(

My dad is pissed I don't have a job. He thinks I'm being a lazy ass. I'm applying to jobs left and right, and have been since last year, but no dice. I put myself out there, get rejected, feel humiliated and want to cry, but I can't. So I keep applying and I just placate him.
I was promised that getting a bachelor's was my ticket to easy street, as long as you had the right degree. Feels like I've been lied to and I'm blamed for not having foresight.
I'm tired.

 

[Spite]

My co-workers. Fuck each and every single one of them.

 

[Bad Mojo]

I'm too attached to my brother. At first he was welcoming, but like the greedy worm I am, looking for sustenance, I took it too far. I said all kinds of weird shit, all too often. Minor freakouts over things he wasn't even thinking about and each is an additional burden to him. My fucking god I hate myself. I just can't make myself do the 9-5. I'd rather die.

Please tell your dad to BACK OFF of you.

I am 70, have been through the job market since 1974, and the job environment today is hell on wheels BAD.

I know folks much younger than me who have applied to OVER 500 positions, a few got phone interviews, but then were ghosted and no one that I know has had a position offer yet.

With all the layoffs in tech and the like, that in itself puts downward pressure on the job market.

Tell your dad that a 70-year-old said to treat you more decently and if needed have your dad hop on the net and READ various articles on the job market in 2026, it is NOT PRETTY.

You are an awesome soul and never let your dad tell you differently ever.

the fact that my mania got so out of hand i couldn't care for myself, i couldn't listen to others.. (everyone was against me, and if i lied/argued/dismissed enough i "won- and the "winning" felt so good…) but then i fell, fell so hard i was bed ridden, then i REALLY couldn't care for myself. now i'm nothing. i can't have anything pleasurable anymore. i can't escape this nightmare. i cant even off myself because i'm so tired.
also, besides the physicality aspect…
the bed ridden depression that was probably still dispersed in my manic state.. i believed no electronics worked. nothing. i could not for the life of me use any form. so radio silence. dead, but not. so catching up to everything is overwhelming
i can never hold a conversation again. i wasn't there for.

i was a big activist and also shit poster before whatever consumed me
i loved life
i cant be apart of it now.

it's crazy to be even able to type this.

i got my dream job a week after being fired from my retail job of 4 years (i called in sick while out of sick time bc i had a 104 fever and had to go to the ER), then today, not even 4 days of actually working there, the job i just got hired at that i actually enjoyed and looked forward to working at let me go too because i didn't have a driver's license. i couldn't run documents to the courthouse, even though i could take the bus, even was willing to uber there and back, just for the sake of actually having a decent job with stable hours. i have seizures now and then so it's terrified me from driving, i put it off altogether because i've been scared of having a seizure while driving and in turn hurting anyone, person or animal. i wouldn't be able to bear that kind of guilt. but now, i just feel worthless. all of my years of studying and working feels like it's been in vain. i've tried so hard all these years trying to convince myself to have faith, that everything will get better, what's meant for me will be better than i can expect. what bullshit. 8+ fucking years and still can't afford a house, a car, etc. i'm nothing but a fucking burden on my family. my friends are all settled down, married or having children, and i've never even been on a fucking date. my old coworker asked me out, but apparently he just wants sex and my brain is still fried from having been raped when i was younger that even intimacy without romance makes me sick. my cats are the one and only thing holding me back from just jumping off the nearest building downtown. but i'm so fucking sick of being alive. every morning and evening i wish that i would get cancer or something. hit by a car, get in an accident, better yet, die sacrificing myself to save another life. i feel like my existence is a mistake, it's unbearable just waking up every morning.

 

[Lamentice]

My coworker who constantly gossips, morally postures with political discourse, talks over me when I'm interacting with customers, and is overly interested in things that are none of their business.

 

[Myrth]

So many things but at his point, the fact I have zero talents and struggle with understanding everything

 

[nesquik]

Zero talents or skills

No job
I got caught buying SN and police visited and told my mum.

Possibility of chemical I need for my plastic surgery not arriving on time.

 

[SweetSunflower]

Everything And Everyone
0) A purpose or "something to want", i dont want anything, so i cant really do anything because what should ive been work for, ultimately, everything feels so meaningless, the rest just follows
1) Career
2) Relationships
3) AI
4) Abusive folks
5) Bullying
5) Friendships
6) How Every person around is so materialistic and shallow
7) stupidity amongst people(mine included)
8) Health( i have problems in my eyes, my organs)
9) me being an awful person ig

I just want to die, so i can relieved of all this torture, its just a fucking spiral and i cant take it anymore at times

 

[Minfilia]

drowning in bills and got nothing to pay them off with

 

[iamjustapebble]

ill be unoriginal and answer with everything

 

[lilb0wpeep]

Well you guys ever not know what to do, to the point where ur body starts to feel like it's buzzing and about to implode?… like I know I don't always have to be doing something but technically you are always doing something and aside from breathing I can't figure out what else to do. And even when I'm doing something it's always what now…
So then I just end up eating constantly cause it seems to be the only thing that masks(not even soothes let alone removes) this 'full of quivering emptiness' feeling.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

What's bothering me is something that happened in a different thread where a sick piece of shit threatened somebody else with eternal torture merely for not wanting to be alive. Religious people disgust me and I despise them with the deepest hatred.
