The LIFE SUCKS thread

[novakru]

My heart hurts for you guys through the BS of life.

*Maggie: I am so sorry hon, I know this must be so incredibly hard, but you are getting thru it..you are taking care of your kids when I know you do not even want to get out of bed. You are so much stronger than you realize and you will come out of this the better for it. That sounds like such crap, I know, but it's true nonetheless.
I am pulling for you, I really am.
Keep looking in the mirror at that beautiful face and tell yourself: You are an AMAZING female!


This thread is for all the people that need it.
Whatever you need to write: Write it,or if you can't here- pick up a journal and write it or paint it or whatever creative means you have.

I am completely confident that it's much better than trying to run someone off the road because they didn't use their turn signal.

[Dante'sInferno]

One thing is happening that i'm stressing over(which i told a few close friends),my Grandpa has alzzeimers.He's had it for 4 years.It's gotten severly worse within the past year.He's even forgotten how to move.It's just like his soul or spirit is trapped inside his body.It's gotten to the point where i want him to just pass away,so he doesnt have to suffer anymore.I wouldn't want to wish this disease on my WORST enemies.It's beyond horrible.


But i'll pray for everyone here,that has any problems.I wish you all the best or to atleast get alittle better.I wish i could put how i feel into words though.Because i have alot of feelings,dark feelings(from my past),that i cant really put into words,or how i felt.Just in case anyone doesnt know i was severly emtionally abused as a kid and sexually abused once by my Step Father.But ive forgiven it and tried to move on,but sometimes its difficult.But there are still things i havent even told my mom or dad.That i cant really explain how i feel.

Should have renamed this to "The CRYBABY thread". :rolleyes:

Life sucks, deal with it. Nobody rolls through a bed of roses in their lives, that's an integral part of this very human existence. If you can't deal with it, then you don't deserve to live.

[urgeok2]

life can suck ...


but i think for anyone here - who is at least doing well enough to have access to a computer, let alone food and shelter - life is pretty good.


when i think of people who can truely say in the purest sense that 'life sucks' i think of starving people in africa and india,

i think about a villiage girl getting stoned to death because some men raped her and she got pregnant,

i think of some tribesman that got captured by another tribe, sold to a white man, then got thrown overboard along with dozens of others in the same situation so the slavers wouldnt get caught supporting the slave trade after it had been made illegal.

i think of people who scratch out an existance - experiencing nothing more than the average animal ... people who havent experienced anywhere near the quality of life that a neglected housepet in noth america enjoys every day.


i know everything is relative ... but for anyone who is at least within reach of a computer with the leisure time to post about horror movies - life doesnt 'suck'

Life can be tough at times ... but all of us in this position (the benchmark i'm using) has had a quality of life far better than those who's life truely does suck.

we all have the power to make it better. be it 'sucking it up and getting over it', or getting support from fiends and family, or even seeing a Dr. ... there is no excuse for anyone here to go on thinking life sucks.

I fucking love life. it hasnt always been easy for me - it isnt now - getting old is a bitch... but i'm determined to enjoy every second of my existance as much as i can. if something comes between me and happiness, i deal with it immediately. I want to be happy, have fun, and enjoy my life to the last possible moment.


sometimes just putting things in perspective can help a lot.

[ferretchucker]

It's good to be able to say things and get them off your chest but I'm slghtly worried this thread will only depress people...

[The Mothman]

I think people should seek out a therapist rather than post their problems online, whatever floats your boat i guess.

wanna know what really sucks



The NFL's competitive landscape changed yesterday when the New England Patriots announced they were placing Tom Brady, their three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback and the reigning league most valuable player, on the season-ending injured reserve list because of the serious knee injury he suffered Sunday.


although I'm sure this is welcome news to *cough Austin cough* some.

My last exboyfriend really LOVED the Patriots.

Part of me is taking ridiculous amounts of veritable joy out of the fact that the season is now ruined for him. :D

I've actually had a lot to think about over the last year. I knew as I got a little older that family would probably start to pass away or at least deteriorate in health more frequently, but this year has been a little rough on it.

BTW, speaking of getting older (I hit 30 in two weeks) is it true I'm going to get the urge to wear tasseled loafers?

Thanks so much Nova for thinking of me,its sweet:)I know that there are plenty of people in the world that have it far worse than i do,really i know that.I still believe that my life,for me in my way of looking at it,plain fucking sucks.I'm sorry if i sound like i'm selfish or anything like that at all,i'm really not.I am getting out of bed,taking care of my children,and doing all normal everyday things that everyone else does.I put on a smile and i act like nothing is wrong,like i have it all under control.The truth is..i really don't!I want to reach for a pill more and more everyday,i thought it was supposed to get easier.I am starting to feel like i'm just not the person that i thought i was,like i'm living two lives.I keep most of my thought to myself,its easier that way.If you put your shit out on the table,you have to listen to all the advice you don't want.I never talk about me anymore,i avoid it.I just want my life back,the life that i thought i had.I don't want to hear my kids ask me where their daddy is or why i'm crying.I think hiding things from kids is the hardest thing to do,they know more than you think they do.Sorry i rambled on,i'll stop here:)

Not me. I feel robbed. I was looking forward to Brady vs Favre more than anybody. Sure, the division is the Jets' to lose now(just my opinion), but you never want it to happen that way.

Sounds a little better than 40's finger up the ass though, at least the camera is smaller :)

Buck up camper, if the only reasion things are being put up your ass against your will is to make sure you dont die of cancer, its a good day :)


For me, the closest thing to a personal tragedy in my life is that once again, my plans to move south have been foiled. 2 years of contract work with asshole swho wont pay have left us with no money to move, and to top it off, i now have a work from home job i do at nights and an on-site contract.

And they both pay ;)

no one said life wasnt tough ...
a lot tougher for some ...
but the ONLY way to survive is to deal with the issues, work on the broken parts, draw strength from the things that are going right.

you are young and attractive - you have 4 healthy kids, a supportive family.
all things that give you a huge chance for survival.

I think things will improve ... new challenges alway pop up - they do for everyone .. but i'm pretty sure you'll be looking back at this one day thinking ... well, i got through that ok.




oh - and i know it's not on the same scale - but i do practice what i preach (re perspectives)

I was getting really depressed about the winters up here. VERY depressed ... our summers go by so fast ... the winters are so long and shitty ... and this summer in particular - it rained every day.

but earlier this year - i'm reading the papers and seeing in the news that hurricanes are sweeping away homes and lives in the caribbean, land slides burying 10's of thousands of people in china, the horror in Burma.

I thought to myself - fuck it - Canada has to be the weather - safest place on the planet. I never have to worry about these things ever.

so my perspective had a complete shift .. i realized that i was luckier than most of the rest of the world - and resolved to not worry about the winters anymore.

I'll just stay inside and watch a lot of movies until its over :)

Interesting, this has been my general outlook on life since I was a kid; It took growing up to make me forget it. Now that things have leveled off some, I am starting to come back around; Right now is not nearly as bad as it was a month ago, so I am doing pretty damn good. I am not getting sleep because I am busy, with paying work.

i could be doing a lot worse.

Bree and I were at each other's throats for a long time (WAY too long), but I sucked it up, cleaned up my shit, and now things are better than they have been in years.

It sucks admitting youve been screwin gup, but it feels so much better when you're done :)

You are not being selfish in the least.
It's always nice to know when things are tough, there is someone or something to back you. Someone to say, 'you don't need that pill honey' :)
It makes things a little less hopeless. I have been so far down that abyss, when the things that are good in life just does not counteract or alleviate the pain.
I have always believed that when things are rough in life, we all have the strength to pull through, but sometimes if there isn't anyone TELLING you that, some people get a little lost in the muck and mire- you know?
I know it makes me feel so much better when a friend points out what I have survived so far, so this or that cannot possibly be too much for me to bear. That there will be an end to it at some point.

That was the point of the thread, sometimes it just feels good to get it out. Somewhere, somehow. Not to become a boo-hoo thread, just a place to vent out some things, to hear some encouragement when your heart hurts.
I thought that since it was a supportive team around here, it wouldn't be a huge step to assume people would be kind. Guess I was way off the mark.

Anyway sweetie, if you need me, you have my email:)

i dont think everyone is being unkind and there is a lot of support here..

i think some people were just worried that it would get a little drama heavy ... and there was a great deal of unproductive drama in the past.

thats just my guess anyway


personally - i like to always see the positive side of things ..

You cannot expect comforting rain from a house which is on fire. You can get only smoke from it.

As urgeok pointed out, people at least have a puter, Net access, and a forum like this to make a thread to vent out on. Millions die out there without even a trace of their existence, fighting till the end for the more common things - food, water, decent clothing and a roof.

Life is tough, and each human who lives it goes through its brutal toughness. That is how it is - at least all of us are not like some squirming maggots inside smelly drains, gnawing out our miserable existences in it till death comes like a huge relief - and for that, we should be a bit more thankful, and happy.
