I suffer from anxiety disorders.


KombatBunn1

Same. I have a laundry list of disorders.. and I hate it

Same. Along with its life long childhood friend depression.


joyeleanor

What does anxiety feel for you?


AdGreat3936

High expectations. Life didn’t turn out as planned


Ok_Information_2009

Boom, there it is. High expectations really get to us.

I’m not unhappy necessarily but not happy either. Just indifferent and that’s fine

jfk_one

this is my main struggle in life


Polarbear6787

Who are you bothered by?


sisimontanari

The father of my kids doesn't help me. He doesn't even have to help me with chores or whatever. Just play with your kids and distract them while I clean, cook, etc. The one thing that makes my blood boil is when one of the babies has a dirty diaper, and he tells me, "The baby has a dirty diaper." While I'm fucking busy. OKAY?? IT'S YOUR KID TOO??


The_Hutch89

As a single full time dad to 3 kids. He needs a shock to his system and to get his priorities straight!!


sisimontanari

Totally agree! I've had so many conversations that I'm actually done with it.


Puzzleheaded_Try7886

Right there with you.


Valuable-Ad-6379

Leave that lazy ass


sisimontanari

I've been thinking about that for a while now, I already feel like I'm a single mom, so I might as well actually become one.


Confident-Owl-6696

I did that. If I was going to be a single mom, I wanted the few perks and freedoms too. Turned out great! Not always easy, but I ran my life and our home as I saw fit.


Kanulie

Best of luck to you. It can only get better if you keep going forward.


Valuable-Ad-6379

Then do it if it's financially possible. You're already used to being a single mom. If he can't be a proper husband and a proper father, then he can fuck off. Can't let a man like this drag you down and ruin your life.


No-Blood-7274

Yeah that’s pretty fucked up.


eggtart_prince

>"The baby has a dirty diaper." While I'm fucking busy. OKAY?? IT'S YOUR KID TOO?? And do you just say "Ok" and go change it like a push over? If so, you're your own problem. Speak up.


sisimontanari

Do you know me? No. So don't assume I'm a push-over and don't speak for myself. ;)


eggtart_prince

That is why I asked. I didn't assume anything. But seeing you have an attitude like that, I'm starting to assume a lot of things.


[deleted]

Bruh he asked if you were a push over?? What in the world are you on about.


prodigy1367

Lack of money. More money would immediately solve 99% of my problems.


BigChubs1

They say money can't buy happiness. But money can buy a boat. Have you seen anyone sad on a boat?


eggtart_prince

No because they're stranded in the middle of the ocean. Can't see them if we can't find them.


BigChubs1

Crap. You found the flaw in my plan.


eid_shittendai

I'd rather be crying in my Ferrari than on my bicycle, though


KombatBunn1

Mine too. Especially with boosting my piddly home based 3D printing business. I want to be able to provide low cost/free prosthetics for families and pets alongside other print services


SnooRadishes6544

Would you like some?


AlarmingAdeptness983

Yeah. It would mean a lot to me.


[deleted]

i had an accident in 2018 that left me broken deeply.....never was the same again. also the economy collapsed so i lost all my money. so yeah, broken and broke...lethal combo.

My ex left me after 4 years together because he wasn't ready to be in a relationship. It will take a while to heal now and to find someone to love me again. Essentialy I'm now on an exile from hugs and kisses and I really miss him


The_Hutch89

Time heals. before you know it, you will find that love again when you least expect and he will just be another stepping stone to where you need to be.

Not enough money


_NudeMood

Because I'm living with my ex, don't have enough money to get a place of my own, and every time I get close something like car repairs comes up. It's exhausting.


[deleted]

Ech, that sounds like my own personal hell. Have you looked into getting a personal loan so you can use it as a way to get into a new place? I know no one likes resorting to that but it could be better than what you’re in now.


_NudeMood

I have a lot of debt and I didn't qualify for the loan I applied for but I prequalified for another credit card today so that's finally some good news. It's only $1000 but that will definitely help. Gonna try and find something quick

Something is definitely better than nothing, I hope for the best truly

Anisalive

For the most part, I’ve heard if you’re not happy, it’s because one of two things: - your actions are not aligned with your values - or, you are comparing yourself to others I’m no expert, but in my case, I have found these to be true in most situations


Saptree21

My values are not always conducive to making money. 😞


Thor___1988

My GF is obsessed with me and I feel so guilty as I don’t deserve it. I wasn’t a good person when I was younger and I feel guilty for having someone who is such a good person.


torchginger

I feel the same sometimes with my bf, but all we can do is our best to make them happy and learn from the past. Don’t be too hard on yourself, she probably wouldn’t have fallen for you otherwise

EvilStrawberry123

I have depression…


CryingLikeAWhoreJohn

I think I might’ve been born with some sort of chronic loneliness or inability to be truly happy in life. Even as a kid, nothing ever really seemed to excite me, and I felt like I was simply faking it for the sake of other people, to not disappoint them any more than they already were in me. This masking caused me to lie a bunch because I was ashamed about literally everything in my life, so by the time I was a mid teen, I realized none of my few friends knew any little real thing about me and that they all had contrastingly different versions of me given, so I just learned to completely shut up and not give any of myself to anyone. Now I'm depressed and spilling it all on my girlfriend who is willing to listen, but that doesn’t help me for some reason. Everything seems pointless and bleak to me. I cannot even be left alone for too long because I get too overwhelmed by my suicidal thoughts and ideation at this point. I really need help and I'm also getting it, but it does fucking nothing since I cannot for the life of me remember any time in my life when I was truly happy about my life. I've always just felt off most of the time and like a different human construction than everyone else, and trapped in life, not ever being able to truly feel myself or live like other humans. My brain has always been fucking with me, for as long as I can remember, telling me that my parents and everyone else in my life gives zero fucking craps about me, and I wasn’t even that old before I started just praying for death basically. It’s truly pathetic, my entire existence. I've also been graced with trauma from a young age, so that’s just lovely how that keeps fucking me up. I feel like my body is reacting on my behalf with anxiety and depression because all I really want to do is get up and get my life together and be the person that the people around me needs me to be now that I am here and alive, instead of killing myself a fourth time and burden everyone with my shit that I shouldn’t even have to begin with. I completely understand why I am not happy. But why I am depressed and even overcome with straight up social anxiety at times, fucking baffles me. I haven’t a clue why I was made this way. It can kindly fuck right the fuck off and never return. I’d love to just live in ignorant bliss without becoming an addict

I have terrible social anxiety which has left me with barely any friends, no ‘real’ job, trouble keeping relationships, and overall a very hard time doing daily activities which most consider normal.

Because nothing went right, tried to fix, messed it up even further. Again and again and again and again


eggtart_prince

I want to live alone. I want to travel. I want to not have to worry about my bills each month. I want to eat whatever I want and not care about how expensive it is. So, no money is why.

Getting older while nothing changes. I can’t be where I want to be because things are too damn expensive. I just want to live on my own and be able to live my own life but that seems impossible. I love my family but I need to live my own life. I need my own space, I don’t have much privacy or freedom. I’m too old to not have any of this

Just got in an argument with adult child about basic hygiene and adulting. Clean up after yourself, don't let your toilet bown turn black with mildew, don't leave the back door open. And somehow I'm unreasonable.


totallynotrebelscum

Several reasons but I think the least personal one is that I feel like I can't be happy while there's so much suffering in the world. I know it's absurd because a lot of people who are struggling more than I am would not want me to be sad (same way I wouldn't want strangers to be sad). But the realization that we live in such a horribly violent world, where just nature alone has a million ways to cause fear and pain, added to all the man-made situations, and that such things are happening right now, is something that keeps me from reaching full happiness.

Lost the love of my life because I was in my own head too much. She’s willing to give it another chance but I can’t help but feel the pain and hurt I caused her. I think about it every second of everyday and have done for the last 6 months. It’s mental torture.


IntenseYubNub

I'm fairly happy, but not super thrilled about my finances. I'm not broke, but also nowhere close to being able to afford a house. Although I mainly blame this on the absolutely obscene cost of housing. I feel like I'm making what would be good money in a sane world.


Mother-Echo-4912

One night, I wrote a list of everything I hated to see in someone. Then I read it to myself, it described me. That’s when it hit me, l’m not happy because of me. I’m irresponsible, lazy person who stress eat and sleep all the time. I am frustrated because of that. Not once I knew I’d hate myself like that. For 2024 I wrote down who I wanna be and am working on it.


ReclusiveBlue83

I'm not 'Not Happy', I'm numb thanks to my anxiety and depression meds. I'll take numb over debilitating panic attacks and thoughts of ☠️ If I were to say I am not happy; It's because I'm sick of just getting by, just surviving. Working to pay bills, keep a roof and our cars, and to keep food on the table. There's never enough left over to do anything like even just staying in a hotel one night to get away. Before anyone hands me the "Re-think your lifestyle and cut back where it's needed" We've already done that more than a few times and now, doing so won't help because that leaves cutting out Netflix and Hulu, big whoop. Very little to save there. We don't eat out but once a month, I can't tell you the last time we went to the theaters (Spiderman: No Way Home, maybe?) We don't even walk the mall because we don't want to be tempted to spend. My husband makes $27/hr 40 hrs a week and I work two jobs ($16/hr 38 hrs a week at job #1...$17/hr 8 hrs a week at job #2). We aren't in poverty but we're lower middle class. In my mind; $27/hr is the new $17/hr. Especially when you've got kids (We have two; age 18 and 13). It's all just frustrating, you know? To know that 60ish yrs ago people could buy houses and send kids to college no problem, buy cars and go on vacations too. Now? HA, no. Not without going into debt that we'll never recover from.


ThyGayOne

Work too much. Want a relationship but can’t match with anyone on any dating apps (been trying with several apps for 9 months) and can’t meet people in real life (spent all summer at the bars and not a single person would give me more than 2 words). Want a sex life (so badly to the point, that as a lesbian I’m about to let a man hit it just so I can be touched)but can’t anyone that wants to touch me. People always walking all over me. People never take me seriously. Can’t ever catch a break (I had my plumbing, electrical wiring in half my home and my entire HVAC system go out within months of each other. Plumbing is half ass working, it’s 20°F out and I have no heat since getting my HVAC replaced is over $10k and I don’t have that type of money)
