Top Rated | Frustrated With Life

Worked hard and invested lots of time and family resources to earn a degree, but the Great Recession happened and the area we find ourselves in has never recovered. Statistically, it’s an area in the USA with the lowest education level, the highest unemployment, the lowest per capita income, the highest percentage of low paying jobs in manufacturing in the country, and to top it all off…near one of the worst areas in the country for allergens (and I am allergic to just about everything). The city rankings are easily searchable, and no, it is not Detroit or Flint or Cleveland. We have mounting medical bills where our daughter was assaulted by one of the workers in the last daycare she was in and she was hospitalized first for broken bones and then for dehydration because she was hurting so badly she wouldn’t eat or drink - $42000. Student loans are piled up from my wife’s useless B.Ed. We had to put the first classes on the credit card because she used up her Federal loan amounts with the B.Ed…$4000. More bills are coming up associated with maternal care for my wife while she’s pregnant. Every single pair of shoes I have, I got used for less than $10/pr. off eBay. Had to put a roof on the house this year right before our little one had her daycare incident…$5000. I drive a 35-year-old truck, my wife drives a 17-year-old car, which are constantly breaking and I spend all my time working on them. I do not think this will abate until my parents pass away and we move to a better area after we liquidate their estate. It is a terrible feeling, wondering when people you love are going to pass away so your immediate family’s situation will finally have a chance to get better…

I am frustrated!! It seems as if money hates my guts and when it sees my coming it runs the other way. Or when I finally get a few dollars something needs to be fixed, or someone I owe money to from 30 years ago pops up. I dont know what the problem is but why is it that I have such huge money problems. I suffered paying all my money out the day I got paid. I had to wait two weeks to get paid again. I struggled, I mean I struggled for two weeks and finally my check was placed in my account. I got to the ATM machine to finally get my money out, the ATM machine took $200 from me! I went into hysteria!! I'm so tired of being in this bad bad bad financial situation. Someone had an accident with my car and then my insurance went up. I mean I am so tired!! This is why people lose it!! This forum aint gonna help because when I finish this comment Im goin right back to struggling again!! Im so tired, wearied, worn out, stressed, discouraged, etc.,etc., etc.,

I was going to ask for a raise since receiving a great performance review. Today I went in and was told that I need to take a pay cut or lose my job! WTH

#1: Spending 2 years and $40,000 in post secondary, then discovering the lack of jobs in my field, which brings me back to working a high school job.

#2: Not getting laid in 5 years... im 23, run my own business, and have an english accent ffs

#3: Being socially awkward around new people, which in turn leads them to believe im incapable with responsibilities, socially inadequate, and overall aloof.

#4: Slip up my words, sentences, and thoughts often through-out the day being sober than smoking weed. (but a plus side being less paranoid, go figure)

#5: Contemplating shutting down the business, which in itself is frustrating because of the amount of time, energy, and money Ive put into it so far. Part me of feels like quitting because ive lost passion for audio, but another part says hold on

#6: Been working at changing my life-habits for a long time by meditating, eating healthier, etc. I get all psyched up to do something spectacular, then eventually I burn out and end up getting nothing accomplished/changes.

#7: I feel that my friends are slowly becoming incompatible with me. Theyre happy watching movies, playing board games, and drinking. This is frustrating because I love them all, but they expect me to join in on their nerdy stuff, but when time comes to something I want to do they all bail.

#8: im quite a sensitive dude, which leads to over-thinking things I shouldnt really be bothered about, holding back what I say, and being too passive.

#9: When I look at gorgeous woman, I enjoy the sights yet dont feel any drive/excitement because I know with my current mind-set I wont be getting anything anytime soon

I don't have it nearly as bad as many, but here goes. Had a surgery go wrong five years ago. Lost everything, the career, home, possessions. Was denied litigation against the surgeon, as it wasn't listed as an asset in the resulting bankruptcy. After two years of being suspended by medications, and another two learning to walk I am at least in great shape, though unable to work.
Of course this makes me one of the "losers" in society, even after working as a professional for decades.
Seems today you're either successful, or worthless. The elimination of the middle class has caused this type of frustration for many.
My biggest frustration has been reconnecting with people. Those I was once close to, even family moved on with their lives in the first years I was gone. Have been separated 17 months from my wife. Can't seem to connect with the kids. Hard to say what lie ahead for me.

Guess all I want to say is for everyone to be careful how you talk with people. Take extra care in judging people. Caring seems to be rare in these days of fast pace jobs and technology. Remember those left behind. Remember it isn't possessions that make a person. It isn't their resources. It's their heart.

Try making a point to be nice in life. All we have is each other in the end.

Happy Tuesday!

When I was in 5th grade I had the biggest crush on this one boy. I wasted so much energy during those years thinking about him but never being able to confess to him. During the last month of 8th grade I told him about my feelings. He told me he liked me too and asked if I wanted to be with him. The next day we broke up because he liked my friend. I didn't cry but I was truly hurt. I entered my freshmen year of high school with many self doubts and self confidence issues. I buried myself in art. I drew and drew and drew in solitude until I can forget about things. I eventually became a very well known artist in the online art community. It was really encouraging. That's how I spent the rest of my highschool life.

I was accepted into a prestigious art college with half scholarship. I was so proud of myself because I didn't think I could do it. All my life I seem to fail at one thing or another. During my 2nd year of college I got carpal tunnel from drawing so much. I took a semester off but during that time I was beyond depressed.I am currently in my 3rd year and I am constantly depressed about my carpal tunnel, college debts, and doubting my skills. I can't even hang out with my friends because our teachers assigns so much homework. Which brings us back to my many self doubts and self confidence issues. I'm worry that when I graduate I won't be able to get a job. There are days where I just sit in my room and crying silently asking myself how did my life got to this point? I wish I was more positive about my life but I am so tired...sometimes I question why I am even here on earth?

I'm gonna be completely honest with you all. I flunked out of college because the career I dreamed of achieving, being a doctor, was apparently the wrong choice. Now I'm living at home with my dysfunctional, overbearing family who tell me repeatedly that they don't care and they love me, but I can see just pure disappointment behind their eyes every time they look at me. I'm going to community college now, and its back to square one, where I've always been in social life, at the bottom. People see me and assume I'm an awkward as f*** kid and don't approach me, and I am an awkward as f*** kid so it doesn't help. It also doesn't help that I had one friend living in the area, and now he's gone. I'm fat, I'm unattractive, I have no friends, and nothing ever seems to get better. I mean, seriously, what's the point. I'm literally a living, breathing disappointment. And I'm angry, just all the time now. And its a cycle, is what pisses me off the most. Its like life is baiting and tricking me into thinking that things are about to turn out for the better, and then it drops hard enough to realize how things really are. And what is life anymore, all anyone does is work in the long run. First its school, then its college, then its scramble for a job, work to pay for bills and other shit that'll cost more money in the long run, work for retirement. And when you finally stop working, you'll have maybe 5-10 years of health problems and then you die. And that stuff about "having someone to live for" and whatever else is also just bs. They'll always leave you.
TL;DR Fuck everything.

I hate my life. No one likes or loves me. My friends fight with me for unnecessary reasons and family are always in tension about me, for if I will do anything good in future, and above all of them my exams are coming and because of all this I am not able to study. I don\'t want to live . All this is so frustrating.
