well heres my life
its actually really really good, Im quite happy...but
Im in a kind of limbo at the moment...currently looking for a job,specifically Idont really care
Im not sure what I want to do, it all just seems to so hard and mabye Im avoid aspireing to do anything In case I get hurt (you know all that, youll never live up to your dreams, its all cutthroat etc..)
worse is I get panicky (mabye panic attack is too stronger word) when ever disscusion comes up about my future with my parents (I hate talking about it), and they just keep pushing and the harder they push the more I just freeze up...its hard to explain but frustrating for both of us no doubt
worst case scenario Ill end up at home...which is in the middle of nowhere doing god knows what havign to put up with crappy internet and havign my mum pushing me to do all kinds pointless crap just to keep me busy, I dont want to feel like "the kid doing work experience" that was horrible enough in highshcool and no pay of coarse, Im too old for that..
aaaaannyy way my goal at the moment is to get money and not be under the controll of my parents...I hate feeling guilty for being such a leech
anyway and people keep going on about how horrible DA2 is....it hurts...deep inside
My life's the same old endless fight ATM. Always on the edge of hopelessness always "normal" humanities designated violence outlet, always fighting this stuff alone. I'm spending the best part of three weeks holiday trapped at home, as the outside world is depressing at best, hostile at worst. And to top matters, the government is growing ever more corrupt, but few others seem to care.
At least my working out recently is going well, and believe it or not, things have been worse.

everyone's life sucks in some way. i think its just best to focus on what is good in your life, the things that you have better than other people or that you just plain enjoy.
I think its mostly about perspective anyway, just by changing your perspective you can instantly change your outlook on life from depressing to actually pretty damn good (in most cases).

I find it odd that everything 'bad' in your life seems to come from a list of good things leading into it. Everything you complained about seemed like something I wish I had in my life.
You went to college. You had a girlfriend. Your family has need from you. I didn't read everything, but I don't recall you complaining about your health. You still have hope. You're young too.
Try being a life-long bachelor high-school drop-out with no friends and abusive family while constantly fighting to be healthy only to achieve mediocrity sub-par to most inactive heavy-drinking smokers doomed to a minimum wage job with no hope for the future to ever change. Plus I'm old.

anyway at least you actually sound like you feel liek your going somwhere, thats awsome and again I wish you luck
makes me feel like I should get off my skinny ass and do somthing......off to the jobearch I guess
Hmm, my life, normally I'd be saying it's great but I would be lying now if I said it is. girlfriend of two years left me (whom I absolutely adored and practically worshipped) for a multitude of reasons, and I haven't been able to work on my TAFE course due to stress, so I'm about to fail. Right now, things are unbearable, unless I can be with friends, but they all have school or something so it's difficult to meet up, and since I love my ex so much I'm gonna be grieving for a while. I really just wanna lie down and sleep, get my mind to shut up and stop showing these images, and perhaps move on. At the same time I feel bad; my ex wants to stay friends, but I can't do that: I don't want to watch as her affections move to someone else, I don't want to be some guy she was with for a while and now just gives advice. So my life right now sucks...it could be a lot worse, but it sucks.
Life doesn't treat me, i treat life. Why would i care for some 'outside' interference? I set my won goals and pursue them.
First step - stop blaming life. It's your choices that resulted in such consequences. You say parent's forced you to pick a major you had no interest in then why the heck did you let them? You are 24 years old, about damn time to start living your life. Parents are getting on your nerves? Move out, event to different city/state if it's such a bother. Get a job you enjoy, maybe major in something you actually consider interesting, it's never too late. Stop being apathetic - your life is what you make it.

Mine isn't going so great either. In college, and I would have graduated in a month, but I couldn't this semester because of one fucking credit. I'm 20 and still live with my mom, who I barely get along with, and I can't move out because no matter what job I find I can't get any hours at all, so can't afford to live on my own. If I don't find a better job by December, I'm getting kicked out of my house.
I think I may have clinical depression, but I'm too scared to go and get tested for it. If I did have it, my mom and sister (only family that lives within 400 miles of me) would just say I'm being a baby. The only thing I seem to be decent at is programming. Can't play sports, know nothing about cars, can't play any instrument to save my life. I suck at art. Not that great looking or rich either.
Never been in a relationship or anything, and some girl I'm in love with hates me. Trying to forget about her, but it is even harder since I work with her now. I don't really have any friends either. I leave my house once a month to do something with people, if that. Oh, and a week ago some 55-60 year old guy tried to get me in his car on the way home from work.

hey man, that's a fair reply. i didnt mention my health because i didnt think about putting it in. but since you mentioned it..Odbarc said:
Health : i had hepatitis A twice bcause my dad almost never let me get any rest, one more and im a dead man says the doc. almost got smashed to death by a big ass gen-set while on a field job for my dad. im now ultra-depressive says the shrink that may lead to madness. and thats just the tip of the iceberg.
Abusive family : i get beaten up like hell almost every day ever since i was 3, the abuse ended when i got to highschool, he gettin old.
current condition : heavy smoker, pretty anti-social, got lots of unprescribed/illegal anti-depressants right at my side. and when i drink.. i DRINK!
Job : worked for my dad, for years, like hell, never got paid until 2 years ago. and i got it thru a world war 3 with my dad. before that, i did tons of odd jobs wih minimum mage.
btw, i did mention 'i know there are tons of people that are in worse condition than mine', just needed to get this out. and dude, there are no such thing as no hope, never say never. cmon man, dont give up! and thx for your reply, i wont lose hope, its the only thing i got left.
I've made new friends, gotten to know a girl, been going out and enjoying life and just been having a good time.
Everything else? I've locked it up in a tiny little box and hid it in the closet It can stay there till I'm ready to handle it.
Friendship is magic.

amen to that dude, probably the reason why i became my dad's puppet is because the constant abuse since childhood that planted fear for years in me. as for the majoring thing, my mom begged me not to go, i couldnt say no, i just couldnt, she suffered too much for our sake, and recently she apologized because that move literally shifted my life. one of the other reason why i said yes is my siblings, im number 3 out of 6, i thought, lemme shoulder this burden so my siblings can have their freedom. i've always been too kind, thats one of my major weaknesses. i know its not too late, im just waiting to graduate, find a job, save up, and get the fuck out!Keava said:
'your life is what you make it' true, i maybe late, but better late than never. thx man
Sounds like you need to get away from your family (dad). If you could find a decent job and move out, it might be worth it. You need to make a life for yourself instead of taking orders from your dad all the time. If you want to get into the family business then that's fine but if you don't, then don't.
For me, my life doesn't sound nearly as bad as what's been happening to you. The problem I have is that I'm more of a negative thinker, so it feels worse than it really is. I really just need to work on changing my mindset.

i dont need to get away from my dad, I HAVE TO! its just a matter of time. i will move out, i will find a job whatever it may be, and im sure ill be content.SilentCom said:
btw, so you're an introvert, i've been there, it takes time and confidence to turn it back. and you have to, because everything about you, health especially, will be affected by negative thoughts. oh yeah, sharing your thoughts with your best friends or girlfriend helps a lot!
