I am a 21 year old guy, and i have almost completely given up on trying to do anything with my life. Why, you might ask let me explain to you. My mother is a fucking crazy bitch who has such bad anxiety she can not for her life think logically. I have been searching for a job for three months now. I took a break from school, so that i can find a good paying job to support myself on. My mothers idea of a good paying job is, to work a minimum wage job at full time. Now lets see here, at $7.00/hr that averages out to $1,120 before taxes are taken out, and around $900 after. She says that is plenty of money to live off of. Well lets do some maths kids. My father wants me to pick up my car and insurance at roughly $600 a month. Well there goes um 2/3 of my earnings. That leaves me with $300. Well the cheapest place i can find is around $200-$300. If I find a place at $200 that leaves me with $100. Here is the choice now, that is $100 for food, or electricity. Which to choose? Well food is obviously a necessity, but electricity is required for cooking said food. The only advice/help i get from my parents is that I should keep my chin up, and it will all work out. Now, I understand i would have to work 2 full times jobs to make enough to live off of. Problem is that i dont care who you are, but working 80 hours to make $1800 is not even remotely worth it. The kid the raised has more of logical thought process than the people who birthed him. This is so fucking stupid, good thing amazon.com has a good price on a noose, stool, and ceiling fan. |

I am a 23 year old and i am living in a dump were mice poop is everywhere and the room is so small i cant keep all of my things organized. no matter how much i clean the next day there seems to be more. I hate were I life and people keep telling I am lucky? how am I lucky when I have alot of bills to pay and life in a dump. Not only that but I feel like loser with no future. I am gain weight since i started going to college and it sucks and everyone I know say how big I got or how I really should lose weight and that includes my parents as well. I am been living on my own since the age of 18 and I feel like I am not getting anywhere with my life. I work part time but hardly make any movies to support myself. I hate rich spoiled kids because they don't know how lucky they have it. |

I got fired today. thats three jobs in last six weeks. Not my fault, store closing. my wife left me for a little person. My parents both beat me for the first 15 years of my life and I ran away. i have no education, and my car got repode last nite. I cant even afford a 40. I wont make rent on my own without my wife. I want this all to end. My herpes itches so bad i cant concentrate. I need new teeth because last year i got smashed in the face with a pipe when I was being mugged. I wear anti persprant and I still smell like a over ripe onion. I have a 2 inch you know what. I cant take this anymore. |

I'm 32 years old Asian man, this nightmare began when I was in elementary school when I was only 12 years old. life is so poor, I never buy my own clothes, it's all giving from others, never finished school because there is no money and support, never look good because there is no money, never have had friends cause of being insulted because of the poverty. ate leftovers from the others. all of these makes me very low self esteem, depression, stress, fear in the crowd. I became a loner. 7 times love a girl but never dared to express. harbored only pain in the heart, can never get a decent job because did not finish school, all the deceptive and abusive employer, so I quit my jobs. when I'm 31 years old is the worst time in my life, quit my job there is no money at all, every day of hunger , eat once a day sometimes once in two days, sometimes once in three days, every day I cry because of hunger and grief. I miss the delicious food I ever ate before. I am embarrassed by my neighbors because my home is huts and their contents is thrift. I pray God have mercy on me by killing me, or is there someone who would kill me, I will be grateful to him. I do not dare to commit suicide for fear of pain. Do not ever give birth to a child into savage world of this |

I'm a 21 year old male, who hasnt had a gf in 4 years. college drop out living with mom and dad. the girl that i am completely in love with, hasnt shown up to work in almost two weeks. i'm guessing she quit. I'll probably never see her again.
I want to buy a small piece of property, and a trailer house, and move in, but since the day i got my first credit card, i thought, "hey cool, Fuck now, Suffer later!!!" well that doesnt work very well. i need to go to the dentist, and fix my teeth, both health wise, and cosmetically.
im embarrased to meet new people. at least until i fix my teeth. i owe $25,000 in school loans, and if i try to start paying them off, i dont know who to pay. ive got about 4 different agencies calling me 24/7, wanting money...
i know for a fact that she was the one for me...
now she's gone. i guess i should get used to being single, and just wait to die... |

Enough is Enough! Hard work Just doesn't cut it any more. There used to be a day where some one could live comfortably by there own means as long as they generated some sort of income. Now you can't walk out side with out pissing away 50 dollars. The Gas is Ridiculous, Prices have gone up on everything including Hair Gel, The economy is shitty unless you were one of the more fortunate who comes from a long line of money/inherited money/ or won the lottery. Usually the greatest inventors and most inspired entrepreneurs come out of depressions/recessions, but how the hell is anyone suppose to be able to do anything these days with out credit??? Jobs don't pay enough!! 8 dollars , 10 dollars, 15 dollars an hour is just not enough to do shit with. There are more couples getting divorced over money and more grown "kids" Stuck at home because they just can't handle more than one thing financially. The worst part about this all is simple this..
In life, we all have different likes, interest, hobbies, talents, etc. We all know the difference in being a physicist and being a garbage man. There is a greater degree of education and intelligence that may go into one career and as a result they are highly compensated for the unique genius or specific hard work. But regardless of the differences, both a physicist and a garbage man or a Teacher and a sales clerk used to be able to lead normal independent lives. Both could own their own home if they choose( though one ... |

I work for the two cheapest men alive. They hire shitty employees for dirt cheap that screw up and we then have to hire expensive workers to fix the problem. i never get taken to lunch (even though the bill is always reimbursed by whatever job they are working on) i make a meager 350 a week while they pocket 1100 fixed rate. i work by the hour and when it gets slow they ask me to leave. well since i make the least amount of money in the company but do the most work this doesnt make sense. i run the office (by myself) answer phone calls, emails, invoicing, estimates, payroll, accounting, bank related bull. And i get the short end of the stick. i have never met anyone in my life like these two. i feel trapped, and actually just want to take a nap im soo bored, but on the other hand i can watch tv when they are not around lol.

hmm..life sucks..sucks major. My life is so messed up I do not know where to start. Maybe quick brief about myself. I am 43year old male who is suffering depression and anxiety disorder. I am under medical care for past 4 years. I have separated with my wife of 7 years over a year ago..Thank God I did separate..otherwise i would probably kill myself long time ago. not that I do not think about it from time to time :(
In past 3 years I have changed jobs 3 times, for various resons.. first I needed something more challenging, then I was let go due some office politcs and economy.. then my next job I lost because of my relationship problems.. now I hear gossips I may loose this job, again. That drives me to depression again. I need stability so bad.
I started to date a nice lady about 8 months ago, but now my relationship is on rocky waters since my gf wants more commitment. I feel it is too early and I feel overwelmed. Beside that I have huge financial dept. For past 15 years I go up and down again with my finances, but I can never free myself from this financial burden. By my calculation it will take probably 6 more years before I will reduce my debt to the level whre I will be able to breath more freely.. Not sure how long it will take to completely pay it out. Belive me.. i was thinking about bunkrupcy too. I do not make much money, but not too little either..Enough to survive, but not enough to dream, enough for payments this month.. may not be en... |

This past year has been one if the hardest of my life. My mom, brother, and I were forced to live without my father last year, when he desperately took a job far from our home in austin Texas, to Maryland. This I was fine with, I never felt like I was going to leave the home I grew up in. So a year later, once the house was sold, we were moving the very last boxes into our moving truck. Two of my dear friends came to bid me goodbye. Through this I felt nothing. And I stood there awkwardly when they began to cry. It wasn't real to me. We soon left late on a Sumer night, feeling somewhat sad when we left my empty shel of a house. The tree with my initials carved al over it's branches, and the cement sidewalk with my little hands forever presed into it's surface. After a week of hell, we made it here. We pulled into the long driveway And felt overcome with joy as we saw this quaint little house. Little did we know we were renting a horror story. Cracks run in the walls of most every room. The entire back wall of the home is rotten. Water damage is found constantly through the place. And the relitor had left all the windows open for 3 Sumer months. Enough time to be consumed in stinkbugs, spiders, hornets, and other eerie bugs. Deep into the winter months, we soon realized that the landlord left us with no oil in the heater. We're exosting our money on gas bills, food , and the simple cost of living and had no extra money to pay someone to come out and preform the mandatory ... |

I just feel so hopeless about myself, and I've just had enough. If it wasn't for my mom I'd have killed myself already, but I could never put her through that. I'm a university graduate from a well recognised school, have had several jobs in the past where I always did well. I used to consider myself a very bright person, full of potential. I had dreams and goals, and hope. I gave those up the moment I realised I had no real potential.
I've applied for over 200 jobs in the last month. Nothing. Interviews at about 5/200 that went no where. I'm applying for entry level work. I'm applying for anything I can find. I long ago gave up of finding a job I'd actually enjoy, now I simply need some income. Nothing.
I've worked hard for everything I've had in my life, nothings ever been handed to me. I've worked since I was 16, I've never not had a part time job. I paid for my own education and worked long hours and late nights at horrible jobs just to get by. I've never had a break, I've never had something handed to me. I thought that would help me in the future. I guess not.
All around me people are starting careers. When I asked them how they found the job they respond "my uncles company" or "my dad's the executive". Ha. Must be nice. My dad just got laid off.
I want to keep trying but after today (and another embarrassing rejection) I'm giving up. I have no future, there's no point to me being here anymore. Once my mom is gone I will go too; me not wanting to hurt her is the only reason I'm still alive. I hate myself and I hate who I'm becoming; a nobody. |

A year ago I was doing ok. I had a great job and enjoyed what I was doing. I have now relocated to be with my six year old daughter, but have not found a job. I keep interviewing for jobs but no offers. Financially, my house is being foreclosed on and I barely have money for food and I think about suicide every waking hour. I'm close to 45 years old, graduated from college and considered to be attractive and in shape. I cant catch a break. I cant get sales jobs that I am more that qualified for. I'm beginning to lose faith. I've written a couple of suicide notes and have cut myself in the neck with a blade. My daughter is the only reason Im alive, but I can not offer her anything. |

I don't have a car, because I don't have money. I don't have a job, because no one will hire me. I don't have a license, because I suck at driving. I have a bad sense of direction and therefore never know where I am going. I have no friends. I wasn't allowed to have friends as a child, and now I can't seem to make (or keep) any as an adult. I never hung out with anyone; even when people ask, I have to say no because I'm jobless and carless. I've never fallen in love, I never had a S.O. I've never even been on a date. I'm incredibly isolated. I have nothing going for me right now, even my education isn't enough.
And I'm 24. I have zero experience. I see all the people on facebook getting jobs, getting married, and buying houses, and I feel so behind. I watched my little cousins grow up, and I feel like they already know so much more than me in love and life. It's so pathetic; I feel like I'm struggling just to meet these basic things. Sometimes, I wish I was never born.

I'm trying for graduate from high school but juggling school with work is not so easy. Specially when you're the only one bring income to the house. I have started to lose faith I don't consider myself Christian anymore. My mom as a devoted Christian, when I get paid she takes some of my pay check and gives it to the church for "God". I'm getting overhelm with not getting enough payment and not even being able to save at least 50 bucks. I'm doing bad in school now and I really don't think I might graduate. Everyone in my family is pressuring me to graduate. I'm also feeling that I'm losing my conscious. I'm starting to lose it and I'm getting angry. I have one thing that makes me so happy and it's playing soccer. I that sport so freaking much. That's my only way out of life that I have. Every single night I hear my mom cry and pray to God to cure her disease that is arthritis. She has had it for over 5 years No doctors or religion has helped. Sometimes I just want to run away from everything and live free with No worries or regrets, just play soccer. If only |

I'm 29yo, and unemployed I had to move back in with my dad after I came home from Iraq because my wife moved another guy in the house and had a kid. I have a girlfriend but we don't get along at all she gets pissed off over nothing all the time starts screaming at me and then turns everything around like I'm the one being so mean and she is just the poor victim. My ex-wife blocked my phone number because when my children came to visit I didnt have my 8yo daughter in a car seat so Im an asshole as a result I haven't talked to my children in over a year. I have alot of debt and no money to pay it. I'm so depressed I hardly leave the house, and I don't talk to any of my friends anymore. I just don't know how long I can do it anymore I try and try but somehow I always seem to srew everything up. |

I am 22 years old female. I know it is too young to say "regret" but somehow I am really regret for what I did in my life. I have been in America for 6 years. I went to college on 2008. Even though I have tried hard in school, but I did not have motivation for studying. I had a boyfriend and I wasted my time and my money for him. After three years of dating, I broke up with him because he cheated on me. Every morning, I wake up and feel like I am a big failure. My education is not good because I haven't tried hard on it. My parents are mad and me and even don't want to talk to me because I spent my money on my boyfriend and other spending. They blame me for being a bad girl who doesn't help family. I don't have a lot of friends because when I dated my boyfriend. He was my everything. Now, I am really lonely because I do not have friend who can hangout and share with me my sadness. I will transfer to university on August and money is my biggest issue. How come I go to school without money? I haven't started saving money for school yet, and my parents can't help me. That's why they always blame my for wasting money. I keep saying myself that I wish I could be back time, I would save money for school, I would spend time to study, I would take care of my parents. I understand it is not too late to be what I want to be but I can't be positive like that. Whatever I think of my past, my tear comes out no matter how hard to try to hold it. I just want to fix my problems. But I never can be back and redo it. |

27 year in old male hear working a dead end job making minimum wage for a multi billion dollar company. Have no interest in any collage program nor can I afford it. My buddies are all either married or getting married. There old ladies don't want me at the wedding because I'll just get hammered and make an ass of my self. I dated a girl for 4 years she left me when I was 24 went out and banged some hoodie from the bar and she gave me the herp. Guess I should have just kept my dick in my pants. Still living with parents with no money can't and probly won't find a girl. Starting to lose my hair witch is pretty depression. I'm banging a 47 year old chick from off the Internet and trust me it's not a pretty sight. Everyday I have to go to this stupid job just kills me more and more. Have looked for others jobs but nothing out there. Called in sick to work today because if I were to see my boss id slap him in the face. I'm a hard worker and do a good job at anything I do but this billion dollar company is treating me like a bag of shit paying me like a slave can't afford anything or to move out. |

I am a 25 male from Canada. I have a bachelor's degree and I just applied for my masters. But come to think of it I figure why should i even bother? My bachelor's degree did nothing but burn up a 40,000 debt and lead me to a shitty receptionist job in a unionized environment. I am working under a bunch of idiots who can't seem to get the most simple process right. So when I work to correct a process my boss takes credit for it. I've tried getting my Union to help but they're all employees of the Uni who don't give 2 sh**s about my problems. I am almost 300 lbs and I can't seem to loose any weight (I've spent the last 3 months in the gym eating rabit food) which is super frustrating because girl's don't want some fat guy, no matter how smart and articulate you are. I dated a girl for 4 years, and she ended up cheating on me with a rig pig. This world promotes idiots and holds back intellectuals. Seriously, being smart in this day and age is disastrous for your mental health. I hate the current affairs of my life, my country and the world. I would just kill myself if I didn't have my mom, but I know once she's gone I will have no reason to hold back. It's a cruel world. |
