Sob Stories
So I've gone through a pretty rough time in my life the past few months, and I really don't have anyone to talk to about my problens except for the Internet.
Is anyone else going through a rough time?

I'm 15, everyone my age thinks that social media and popularity is the only thing that matters, and none of them understand me either. I sometimes wish that I was born in another century in the past before all of this shit.
I understand. People suck sometimes. Just know that when graduation comes, popularity won't mean shit.
The death of a pet is always very painful. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Well, I appreciate that you care. My brother has been bullied for being deaf, and he told me one night in July that he wishes he was dead because he's a "cripple." He's been in therapy, but he can't stop other students fromantic bullying him. We've done everything. Moved schools, moved away from our hometown. It's been a rough time. I just wish I could help him in some ways, ya know?
My little brother is my rock. I remeber protecting him from others as a kid bit now that I'm in college, I can't.
You may feel like this now but a day will come when you'll be happy you stayed true to yourself. When i was at school i was similar. But now at University I've met loads of people like me. And I'm happy i was sad for those years if it means i've found people i relate to.
I will definitely try the whole pep talk idea.
And yes, it is physical. Kids will pull on his ears and slap him to get his attention since he can't hear. We got those kids suspended but the trauma remains. He's a warrior, that's for sure.
Thank you so much man. Even just getting it out helps. I appreciate your time.
Same to you!
I have problems too. I'm 15. About 7 months ago I developed what could technically be called an eating disorder. It would be my second run in with an ED, though what I'm currently going through is some form of Anorexia with a Binge-Purge subtype (not professionally diagnosed) while my first was Binge Eating Disorder (also not professionally diagnosed, but I fit the criteria), developed when I was 12.
I've been overweight my whole life (currently normal BMI) so no one really noticed because I'm not skin and bones. I struggle with it everyday; sometimes it's no appetite for most of the day, then a sudden compulsive urge to eat everything (I have actually eaten paper before) I can find. I rarely purge via vomiting or laxatives; usually I fast or exercise if I purge at all. Sometimes, I have no appetite for days on end.
I'm at a healthy weight now, so I'm not in danger of death or osteoporosis. Right now, I'm just doing my best to ignore what the ED says. Sometimes I have days where I eat what I want anyway; sometimes I enjoy that, and sometimes it's just this huge day of anxiety.
Same.
Yeah, i know what it's like.
Diabetes
Kidney Problems
Mental Disorders
Blind in one eye
Yeah...
I hope that gets better for you, I really and truly do.
Do you go to therapy?
I'm sorry that you have to go though those things, but you seem like a very strong person for doing so.
i'm too self-conscious/embarrassed to say what my problems are, but i do wanna say thank you for making another pure thread.
Of course! I feel like a lot of people frequent this forum, so why not get your feels out?
Ayyy, I got a blind eye too. Well, mostly blind.
I've been going through a rough time for the past 7 years.
2016 just is really sucking for the world and some of my own personal problems too I just want this year to die. One of my best friends just out of no where just started acting like he hates me and he's just hanging out with a bunch of spoiled girls who don't know how to grow up worse stuff has happened to me recently but I don't really want to talk about it I would say I hope 2017 will be a new frontier but with Trump as president I'm ready for world war 3. Also a lot of people including people I know have just died this month real shitty time.
I'm not sure if this is a sob story or just a terrible bad life experience, but what I'm about to tell you all is a true story and not a joke. Everything you are about to read actually happened to the best of my ability to recall the worst date of my life. I feel like I'm cursed when it comes to the other sex (dating wise) so that's why I vowed to stay single for the rest of my life. I have to warn everyone that this might be a long story but I will try my very best to give you guys the short version, however I suggest that you read everything to prevent this situation happening to you.
I met this one Woman at a Supermarket when she accidentally ran over my big toe with her shopping cart in the frozen food isle. She quickly turned to me with her puppy dog eyes and said "OMG, I'm so sorry, are you ok Sir.?" I looked at her and told her that it was totally ok, it was just an accident, and I had to deal with worse. Besides we were in the right isle to get ran over with a shopping cart in case that I had any swelling, those frozen peas does wonders when it comes time to counter attack any swelling. She told me "Are you sure that you're not hurt, I'm such a klutz, and I feel real bad about what just happened." I assured her that everything was fine, it's not like that I was a Casualty of the Safeway War, but maybe the only thing that was hurt was my pride. She said "Oh thank goodness you weren't hurt, you seem like a nice guy and I'm glad for your understanding, it's great to see that Chivalry isn't dead after all!" Yes, she actually said that, I mean come on who actually uses the word "Chivalry," any more? This Woman wanted to know if there was anything she could do for me to make up for what she did to my big toe. I was thinking to myself, moving your shopping cart far away from me for starters would be a great idea and wishfully thinking that she might offer to buy all my groceries as well, but stupid me, I just told her no payment was needed because for the third time it was only just an accident. Then she asked me "Can I at least buy you dinner?" I tried to look at her eye to eye with a straight face, and being the sarcastic guy that I am, I blurted out "Well, if I wanted to go out to dinner, I wouldn't be in the frozen food isle at the Safeway Supermarket." Next I heard a strange sound that I assumed was laughter that came out of her mouth and then she said "Not now silly, I meant, could I take you out to dinner sometime next week?" So I replied "Oh silly me, you got me, sure that sounds great, I don't mind going out to dinner next week." There were two reasons why I said this, first I just wanted to get her out of my hair, and second, there was no way that I was going to turn down free food. So we ended our short but awkward conversation in the frozen food isle, exchanged our phone numbers, and we were off our separate ways at least for the time being. Now guys, trust me when I tell you this, what ever you do, don't try to pick up chicks at a Supermarket by trying to get your toe ran over by a shopping cart. If I had a do over, I would've high tailed it out of the Supermarket before she got to the "G," in "OMG!"
A week later I get a phone call from the same Woman who ran over my big toe with her shopping cart at the Supermarket. We make plans to have dinner at Olive Garden so there was no turning back now. Everything was going great, it really felt like those two Disney dogs, Lady and the Tramp sharing a bowl of pasta. During dinner she asked questions about me and I asked her questions about her, so that we could get to know each other a bit more. I found out that she was a Dental Assistant who apparently was so proud of her job that she asked me if it was ok for her to clean my teeth after dinner. I didn't know how to react to this weird gesture, maybe where she came from it's customary to throw out insults after a dinner date, but a part of me was curious enough to see where this would lead to, which turned out to be a very big mistake on my part.
So we get to the local Dentist building where she worked at and to my happiness the building was closed and I thought that I dodged a bullet, however it turned out that since she was the Dental Assistant, she had a key to get inside the building. I just shook my head, forgot about my big toe and told my poor teeth to get ready for some pain. We entered the building (more like that I was dragged against my will into the building), she sat me down in the Dentist chair, pulled out a clipboard, and proceeded to ask me personal questions that were inappropriate non first date questions. I thought to myself that if I lived through this, I'm never going to go on a date again. She told me to relax knowing that it's ironic to relax in a Dentist office. She leaned back the remote controlled torture chair, put a paper bib on me, turned the over head light on straight in my face, then what happened next is everyone's worst nightmare. I heard that awful sound that no one likes to hear in a Dentist office, then she opened my mouth and the last thing I thought of before she put that torture device in my mouth was, where in the heck was "Obama Care," when I needed it most!? Two hours later, she sat me back up straight and said she was all done. I was told that I was a great patient and everything was all clear, she even had the audacity to give me a lollipop for my trouble, but told me not to eat too many because they can give me cavities.
So that's it, my dinner date from hell was finally over and for now on I always wear steel toed boots when I go grocery shopping. I hope that you guys enjoyed reading my very true story and you guys can decide for yourself if this was a sob story or just a terrible bad life experience.
I hope that gets better for you. Never lose hope. Remember that there's always a reason to keep on living.
Moral of the story: If someone I have only met once before offers to clean my teeth... RUN!
I know, this year hasn't been the greatest. I've had friends like that too. Sometimes shit like that happens to show us who our real friends truly are.
May your life get better in 2017!
DANG! Now why in the heck didn't I think of that before? Great advice RayManUnited, I will definitely think of that the next time if I ever find myself in a situation like this again! : )
If your friend just up and left then maybe they weren't the right type of friend for you. Losing a friend is hard but sometimes it's a blessing in disguise. If they drop you for no reason they don't deserve a good friend.
XD Glad i could be of help bro.
Oh my gosh, what the hell?? This actually happened? Dude, that's some messed up stuff; why the hell would she want to clean your teeth during a first date? This sounds like a terrible life experience, and I would actually love to learn more XD
My parents called a few weeks ago to tell me that our old neighbor had died. She was such a kind woman who always had an open ear to us kids, gave us sweets etc. It's hard to imagine that I'll never speak to her again. It's also shown my how lucky I've been regarding loss; considering. I lost a grandma when I was very young, but I've never experienced actual loss since then. Everyone close to me is still alive, and even our tomcat merely ran off and wasn't explicitly found dead (although he is by now anyway, that was in 2005). This case was really the first time I've dealt with real-life loss conciously, and it sucks.
Thanks
same to you.
A loss is a loss dude, there's no such thing as a 'small' loss. I wouldn't wish the loss of someone close on my worst enemy. Stay Strong.
Loss is something we all must experience, and I'm sorry you have to go through a loss like that.
When I lost my mom, I had this weird phase where I continued to talk to her, aka talking to myself. I know it's weird, but I found solace in talking myself through it.
Just remeber that everyone we lose is in a much better place.
i take it you never got around to getting a second date with her.
Lol, really. I couldn't even stand butter before the ED!
I don't. I went to a social worker a few years back (I was about 12 at the time), and they planned to switch me to therapy, but my mom was pissed that my SW called her out on her BS, her narcissism, and her focus on my sister so she suddenly decided I wasn't allowed to go.
She (my mom) fed me a bullshit lie that my SW told her over the phone that I needed to exercise, stop binge eating on my own, and go outside more.
If things get really bad, I just go to my school counselors without my parents' consent.
What the freak, omg. RUN MAX RUN
This legit gives me hope and I really love that.
I'm 14 and my life really sucks now. Why other people get friends, adventures and awesome memories from their teenhood, while everything I get is depression and an ugly face?
I hear ya, trust me I do. I'm 15 and all I basically do is sit at home online. I look at all of the other people in my school and long for the things tat they have. They go out and have awesome times together, somehow understanding each other and I'm just over here. It's depressing and makes me a very frustrated person sometimes.
I'm in my sophomore year of high school. My younger brother is in his first year of middle school and he already has everything that I didn't have. He has countless friends and he is able to experience incredible memories with them, and he hasn't even become a teenager yet. It's very hard for me to deal with my situation when the person that came from the exact same place as me is all of the sudden doing loads better than me in life.
I lost a parent this year, I'm not too keen on my home life, and adulthood is downright horrifying to me so far.
I can do things to better my home life, but the rest sucks. However, know that you aren't alone and you have friends here that are there for you. In the wise words of the Steve Miller Band, you gotta get to hell before you get to heaven.
I have no fucking clue what I'm doing with my life or what I'm gonna do with it.
You and me both, Max.
The things I want to do I fear at attempting thanks for a lack of finances, and I wish that weren't the case.
Wishing you all the best bud
I can feel you and your brother. When I was 10-12 years old, my life was so exciting. I would hang out a lot with the older guys, I'd be in a car race with them, or climbing the roofs... Life was great back then.
But now my sister's away in the other city, studying in the university and I feel so lonely. I think that the problem is in me - I just don't know how to make friends. My only buddies are in my school and we have friendship simply because I see them every day. The summer is always a torture. My classmates have their own parties but I literally don't know anyone outside school and I feel so bored. You know, people say it's easy to befriend someone online but that's not true - I have no friends in the internet at all. I've been 5 years in MLP fandom and 3 years in TTG fandom but there's still nobody I know there and it's just awful.
You know, this picture sums up my personality:
P.S. Well, there was a guy, but he turned out to be a creepy pedo so that doesn't count.
Very few people know what they're gonna do with their life, especially at a young age. Just find something that you enjoy and try and turn that from a hobby into a future. And sometimes you have to do things you don't enjoy to find out what you do. I'm currently doing a teaching qualification and trust me, 2-3 years ago i would NEVER have imagined that that's what i would want to do. But now I can't think of anything else as a job. And don't let the 'social media' version of 'success' deter you. Life isn't all about fast cars, big houses and pretty women/men. Nothing beats doing something that feels rewarding, however demanding that might be.
