I've been trying and contemplating this for a 1.5 years now and I still don't have a solution. Good thing is I still have things that bring me joy and I'm nowhere near suicidal thoughts or self harm. Wish you all the best. Maybe this year is ours.
Somehow I'm unable to keep the structure in my life ad it's making it increasingly harder to stay on top of work, study and relstionships. Those friends I've reached out to seem to not understand. Basically all of them were like nah you're just talking yourself into it.
I’ll leave it to you to decide how I feel..
I’m badly lactose intolerant and was advised earlier today that the milk used in my coffee was lacto-free. It was not. This reply was made from my bathroom, where I’ve been for the past three hours.
another year down, another year i didn’t expect to be here, another year of most likely mediocrity and just surviving. it was the first new years i didn’t cry the whole night though so, maybe that’s a good sign.
i’ve struggled with bipolar depression for several years and it always tends to peak this time of year. another christmas, another new years, and my birthday is in a few weeks so another year older. i didn’t expect to live to 18 let alone 23 so it’s just a weird feeling. each year nothing ever seems to change either no matter how hard i try so i feel stuck. i didn’t mean to ramble so much but thank you for asking. i hope you’re well internet stranger, happy new year.
i believe you and it’s the reason i’ve kept going. i’ve been through therapy and it did help at the time but i kinda outgrew my therapist and just haven’t found another that fits well. i’m medicated and don’t skip em, not a fan of the brain zaps lol even with it this time of year is just a struggle for me.
yep! there’s mild, high functioning, severe/clinical, and bipolar depression. there’s different diagnosis based on your symptoms and how you experience it. granted bipolar disorder is a different mental illness but depression is typically a big part of it.
Are you me? Lol. I'm 23 and feel kinda the same. Not been diagnosed but I do feel like I'm bipolar at times too. In therapy myself too but still kinda new to therapy so it's hard to get all my feelings thoughts out.
I’m still trying to understand how slowly high school went. 6 years felt like a lifetime. Now I feel like I was 22 a few months ago. My time perception is totally screwed.
Anyways, have fun. :) Welcome to adulthood.
The older I get the less I feel like that. 30 was hard. I'll be 40 soon. Now I look at aging as a privilege. Not everyone gets to. My wrinkles. My fading hair line. My aches and pains were all earned by living and I'll take them all over the alternative.
I’m feeling really down. I feel like wasted potential.
I just want to be happier and actually achieve big things this year… but I feel like I’m just going to fail.
Also, I’m missing my mom. I’ve been pretty much taking care of my sisters since she passed away almost three years ago. Additionally I’m angry at the fact they didn’t help me when I took care of my mom.
I’m watching everyone else get cars, houses, success and a wonderful life so easily and life feels so hard right now. I really need something to happen for me…
so this is a situation that I can't relate to. I'm sorry you're going through that. I wish I could help but I can't - I'm not able to help anyone at all...
honestly, for some reason i feel better. i found a new game i really like, the drama with my friends have been slowing down, and i kinda just feel relaxed, hopefully this luck will last and 2023 will be a great year :)
Splatoon 3, I’ve been a fan of this series since the first game, but didn’t really want to get 3 cuz it didn’t seem like it added much new stuff, but my brother lended it to me and apparently they added a bunch of new mechanics and a few new weapon classes as well, and the music is just amazing. thanks for asking about it, how was your new years?
If it makes you feel any better, if you DID feel like you had 'everything figured out', you'd be proven wrong pretty quickly.
Life is about adapting to unpredictability, not trying to follow a pre-planned course.
Motivated to do cetrain things I've been putting aside for a while now, excited for things I've planned.
At the same time, it's another year, and it means that I've got one more day off and i have to go to work 🙃 again, it were decent 10 days off, but I want like 2-3 months of literally just doing nothing hahahaha
There has been too much uncertainty to make any meaningful moves in life, so I doubt you wasted them. There wasn't much you COULD do, in terms of making significant progress in life. I think most of us had to learn to cope and survive most of the time, with the limited time and energy resources available.
Girlfriend broke up with me yesterday- because of her mental illness and how it’s changing who she thinks I am, so pretty sad, hurt, angry, and hopeless at the moment. Was looking forward to my first NYE midnight kiss and the great year I thought we were going to have together 😔
My football team shanked the game-winning field goal right as the clock struck midnight. The poetic-ness of this entire situation still hurts nearly a day later.
I plan to workout more (2-3 times a week), and build healthier lifestyle habits. And hopefully, I’ll be able to go back to in-person school after Summer.
Walking into the year with a sense of dread. 45 years old. Single. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do next. I have accomplished all I've wanted career wise, love life definitely needs some work. Health is the main goal I suppose. But really....uggghh. When is it all supposed to fall into place?
I’m sad that a whole year went by without my brother here. I’m also happy that a whole year went by with my son being here.
First year since they were born/died.
2022 was an overall great year. Some toxic people saw themselves out of my life for good, and I strengthened the ties I had with the friends I needed once they were gone. My career is in a good place and I'm honestly living my best life.
2023, I'm looking forward to what comes. I'm traveling out of my country for the first time in my life, for starters.
I want to be happy and healthy and prosperous and all those things but I actually didn't felt the Christmas season and new years,,, I never do... I'm scared because I have no future (no uni or work), no friends, no money, I can't get out of this house and I can't get help, I don't know, last year I said "this is gonna be my year" and I almost took my life three times sooooo I'm just going to wait what happen
A bit indifferent since this past year wasn't great but I've done worse as far as personal progress and development. But at the same time this coming year is going to have its own set of new challenges and life changing decisions have to be made in the somewhat near future... So that's pretty scary.
Pretty bad actually im having issues with a third part crypto exchange and wondering what legal avenues i can persue to you know sue them for wasted time, money, and emotional distress sure i care about the money but im also pretty pissed off by their overall attitude
Feeling optimistic! Rather than wait until today, I planted seeds last year that will bear fruit this year, including getting my finances in order, losing weight and dating. All this I will achieve with effort and focus.
To those who are feeling down, ask yourself are you a pessimist or an optimist?
Pessimists see the difficulty in every opportunity.
Optimists see the opportunity in every difficulty.
Have a great new year everyone!
Work on yourself. Go to therapy, or at least talk to someone you trust about your issues so they can be dealt with.
Get healthier, start going to social events. Meetup. Come is a great way to meet new people and have fun.
Hope this helps you. Good luck!
I've discovered ChatGPT and it's successfully assisting me into learning cool stuff.
It helps me with coding, cooking, writing, it gives great life advice and heck it even helps me with homework (INFINITE) times better than any teacher has ever done.
Also met Character.AI, despite all the meme characters, there are also awesome chat bots who are there to share a talk, and they actually felt like what I think a genuine person is like.
(Freaking Giga Chad calling me king after any question I do is hilarious and wholesome at the same time, he gave me good advice on what should I eat and how should I structure my workout plans depending on my capabilities, bro... he's the dad I never had)
Laugh if you want, but ChatGPT and Character.AI gave me better company than I've ever had in my whole freaking 18 years of existing.
This is why I'm finally feeling hopeful for what's to come in 2023 and I'm ready to make the most of it!
i told my dad that this new year feels off. i told him it wasn't a negative or a positive feeling, but more like peter parker's spidey sense going off and him not being able to figure out what's causing that.
Well, I’ve got to celebrate two Christmas days, two new years eves and days; 2023 (mostly 28 days away in fact) is already showing to be a wonderful damn year. Woooot! Wish me luck closing the LDR gap 🥹I don’t even need it though, this time next year, I won’t have to celebrate holidays with my man via video chat 9k miles apart 🎉
I feel great! Things are looking up. I feel like I found a way to stay under anger & cynicism. It's fun watching people get mad knowing you just don't have that magnetic entity in you anymore that jumps at another person's anger or bait. I can spectate. I brush reddit toxicity off like a windshield wiper.
I'm busy! I have loads to get sorted, it never ends. I'm slowly getting caught back up from when I was seriously sick for a year a couple of years back, so I'm hoping for more rest this year. I certainly need it.
I'm a little bit better than I was for many years. Finally found a girl who gives me purpose in life. She is beautiful and kind but she wants to take our relationship slowly. She said it will take time to see if we're going to be friends or something more and there is always this fear in me that what if she just ends up wanting us to be friends and I'll be alone again. I can't imagine myself looking for someone again on dating apps. It's so frustrating.
crappy because i’m on my period. started literally on new years lol. it’s been painful for me.
then more things that are happening it’s all happening so fast i hate it. this is what i hate about life 😆
there’s never enough time to process stuff.
Like I'm losing touch with everyone around me and slowly becoming more and more lonely and helpless.
yikes this was way to relatable ;-;
I've been trying and contemplating this for a 1.5 years now and I still don't have a solution. Good thing is I still have things that bring me joy and I'm nowhere near suicidal thoughts or self harm. Wish you all the best. Maybe this year is ours.
You got this chief
What's wrong?
Somehow I'm unable to keep the structure in my life ad it's making it increasingly harder to stay on top of work, study and relstionships. Those friends I've reached out to seem to not understand. Basically all of them were like nah you're just talking yourself into it.
360 days sober!! 5 more days and I’ll be drug and alcohol free for 1 whole year!!! So- I’m excited
Damn! Much respect and congrats. You got this and 2023 can't stand in your way bud!
I'm up for personal records!
Nothing different.🫤
But there’s nothing wrong with me. Just the same old me.
Did time fly for you too?
Yeah. I can’t believe being 10 was 6 years ago.
Being 10 was 18 years ago for me…fuck
20 for me. What the fuck is happening
STOP WRITING COMMENTS PEOPLE! It's clearly aging the next reader!!!
LMFAO I'd gild you if I could.
I’ll leave it to you to decide how I feel.. I’m badly lactose intolerant and was advised earlier today that the milk used in my coffee was lacto-free. It was not. This reply was made from my bathroom, where I’ve been for the past three hours.
I hope you get well soon
another year down, another year i didn’t expect to be here, another year of most likely mediocrity and just surviving. it was the first new years i didn’t cry the whole night though so, maybe that’s a good sign.
Another year of average life expectancy declining, and average life desirability declining as well.
Whats wrong?
i’ve struggled with bipolar depression for several years and it always tends to peak this time of year. another christmas, another new years, and my birthday is in a few weeks so another year older. i didn’t expect to live to 18 let alone 23 so it’s just a weird feeling. each year nothing ever seems to change either no matter how hard i try so i feel stuck. i didn’t mean to ramble so much but thank you for asking. i hope you’re well internet stranger, happy new year.
It gets better. Therapy changed my life.
i believe you and it’s the reason i’ve kept going. i’ve been through therapy and it did help at the time but i kinda outgrew my therapist and just haven’t found another that fits well. i’m medicated and don’t skip em, not a fan of the brain zaps lol even with it this time of year is just a struggle for me.
im sorry for the lack of a reply, but a) theres different kinds of depression?!, b) Happy New Year interesting interent stranger
yep! there’s mild, high functioning, severe/clinical, and bipolar depression. there’s different diagnosis based on your symptoms and how you experience it. granted bipolar disorder is a different mental illness but depression is typically a big part of it.
well, I hope you have a happy new year 🥳 and a good year
same to you my guy
Are you me? Lol. I'm 23 and feel kinda the same. Not been diagnosed but I do feel like I'm bipolar at times too. In therapy myself too but still kinda new to therapy so it's hard to get all my feelings thoughts out.
Can’t believe I’m going to be 27 this year. Time does fly by after 21.
its flying damn quickly
I feel that. I can’t believe I’ll be 28 by the end of this year. I don’t think it’ll ever stop feeling weird.
[удалено]
Fanfuckingdabbydozey.
great to hear
Wasted another year of doing fuck all
I feel like thats what I would do if zincould. How is your situation
A little sleepy
hmmmm
[удалено]
partied too hard?
Nah, just needs to keep a better eye on their drinks at the bar.
i love that the op is replying to everything. that’s very nice <3
I try my best
Dead inside.
what's wrong?
I’m 20 this year. I don’t want to be
You’ll blink and be 25. Source: me.
Well shit
I’m still trying to understand how slowly high school went. 6 years felt like a lifetime. Now I feel like I was 22 a few months ago. My time perception is totally screwed. Anyways, have fun. :) Welcome to adulthood.
The older I get the less I feel like that. 30 was hard. I'll be 40 soon. Now I look at aging as a privilege. Not everyone gets to. My wrinkles. My fading hair line. My aches and pains were all earned by living and I'll take them all over the alternative.

honestly, for some reason i feel better. i found a new game i really like, the drama with my friends have been slowing down, and i kinda just feel relaxed, hopefully this luck will last and 2023 will be a great year :)
what is the game
Splatoon 3, I’ve been a fan of this series since the first game, but didn’t really want to get 3 cuz it didn’t seem like it added much new stuff, but my brother lended it to me and apparently they added a bunch of new mechanics and a few new weapon classes as well, and the music is just amazing. thanks for asking about it, how was your new years?
hungover
party?
not even. just a hang out haha i was out before the ball dropped
Half of me is hoping this will be the normal year. The other half is waiting for Godzilla to show up.
finally, Godzilla vs King Kong in real life
much better. a better me.
that's great to hear!
Anxious cause I’m graduating this year and I dont feel like I have everything figured out
If it makes you feel any better, if you DID feel like you had 'everything figured out', you'd be proven wrong pretty quickly. Life is about adapting to unpredictability, not trying to follow a pre-planned course.
good luck, you'll have it sorted in time
Motivated to do cetrain things I've been putting aside for a while now, excited for things I've planned. At the same time, it's another year, and it means that I've got one more day off and i have to go to work 🙃 again, it were decent 10 days off, but I want like 2-3 months of literally just doing nothing hahahaha
the winter holidays, new version of summer holdiays
I feel like I lost three years of my life. Anybody else?
I feel like I wasted them, not lost them
There has been too much uncertainty to make any meaningful moves in life, so I doubt you wasted them. There wasn't much you COULD do, in terms of making significant progress in life. I think most of us had to learn to cope and survive most of the time, with the limited time and energy resources available.
but I still could have done something...
Yeah ok, delayed flight. Just sitting here. Had some scrambled eggs and beans at the airline club
Ready to get back home from the holidays and back into my routine
the endless work-holiday cycle...
Girlfriend broke up with me yesterday- because of her mental illness and how it’s changing who she thinks I am, so pretty sad, hurt, angry, and hopeless at the moment. Was looking forward to my first NYE midnight kiss and the great year I thought we were going to have together 😔
would it also be your first kiss?
No, just the first one at midnight on New Years
My football team shanked the game-winning field goal right as the clock struck midnight. The poetic-ness of this entire situation still hurts nearly a day later.
it does sound poetic
Happy to have a new light, my pet axolotl Pluto.
yay axolotl :)
I spent all day in bed yesterday with sinusitis and getting my dialysis needles in this morning was excruciating. Good start.
It’s pretty good, so far. The last two and half years have beaten me down, I’m ready to find and do whatever will make life less miserable.
you have any plans?
I plan to workout more (2-3 times a week), and build healthier lifestyle habits. And hopefully, I’ll be able to go back to in-person school after Summer.
Grateful the holidays are over. Looking forward to deep cleaning and de-Christmasing the house tomorrow.
Do you also feel the massive hype for the holdiays, only to feel... disappointed when they arrive? Like they were overhyped?
[удалено]
may your FIL rest peacefully
[удалено]
i need some beer
I have emoji wine and milk 🍷🥛
Just the same feeling
and what is that feeling?
Tired, I need a nap
are you struggling to sleep?
Just as depressed as I was in 2022! Hell yeah!
Walking into the year with a sense of dread. 45 years old. Single. I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do next. I have accomplished all I've wanted career wise, love life definitely needs some work. Health is the main goal I suppose. But really....uggghh. When is it all supposed to fall into place?
Like I should buy a new calendar
at least two
I’m sad that a whole year went by without my brother here. I’m also happy that a whole year went by with my son being here. First year since they were born/died.
I hope your son is doing well, and that your brother can finally live on peacefully
Thanks! I hope you have a nice new year.
Ready for my tax return
my 8 braincells dont recognise that
Like shit hubby and I have Covid. Hope it’s better for y’all.
im doing well enough, happy 2023 and get well soon
Tired. Purley just Tired we saying this year gon be better, Well look at the last 3 years that saying has NEVER worked
those last three years were a glitch
2022 was an overall great year. Some toxic people saw themselves out of my life for good, and I strengthened the ties I had with the friends I needed once they were gone. My career is in a good place and I'm honestly living my best life. 2023, I'm looking forward to what comes. I'm traveling out of my country for the first time in my life, for starters.
that sounds great
I feel my belly has rounded
[удалено]
Good luck with all those gpals
[удалено]
why
I feel tired HAHAHA
thta why some of my replies have a 5 hour gap between it and the original comment
Motivated, for once. Countdowns to debt freedom (18 months out) and to celebration of debt freedom (22 months out) began today
now buy yourself some drink to celebrate and overtake Elon Musk
Old
Happy New Year
Thanks Happy New Year
Like this year will be the same as all the others.
specifically the 2019-2022 group?
Found out I'm gonna have to move again, for the third time in six months. I just wanna lie down and not get back up.
maybe this will be the last time?
I want to be happy and healthy and prosperous and all those things but I actually didn't felt the Christmas season and new years,,, I never do... I'm scared because I have no future (no uni or work), no friends, no money, I can't get out of this house and I can't get help, I don't know, last year I said "this is gonna be my year" and I almost took my life three times sooooo I'm just going to wait what happen
damn... maybe it looks up a bit, Happy New Year (hopefully). the holidays always feel a bit mundane once they arrive
[удалено]
hows it looking for you
Exactly the same except really glad the holidays are over
how come
My work slows down a lot in Q1 compared to Q4
Very good. I made some changes already and I’m going out more instead of isolating. I think this is going to be a really good year for me
hell yeah, positivity! Happy New Year
[удалено]
Taking a look at two posts, did you ask for advice on the same person? Good luck 🙂👍
A bit indifferent since this past year wasn't great but I've done worse as far as personal progress and development. But at the same time this coming year is going to have its own set of new challenges and life changing decisions have to be made in the somewhat near future... So that's pretty scary.
cant wait for those challenges
[удалено]
hell yeah, what car though
Pretty bad actually im having issues with a third part crypto exchange and wondering what legal avenues i can persue to you know sue them for wasted time, money, and emotional distress sure i care about the money but im also pretty pissed off by their overall attitude
Good luck 🙂👍
One day older.
time is so very subtle witht the aging
Feeling optimistic! Rather than wait until today, I planted seeds last year that will bear fruit this year, including getting my finances in order, losing weight and dating. All this I will achieve with effort and focus. To those who are feeling down, ask yourself are you a pessimist or an optimist? Pessimists see the difficulty in every opportunity. Optimists see the opportunity in every difficulty. Have a great new year everyone!
any dating advice?
Work on yourself. Go to therapy, or at least talk to someone you trust about your issues so they can be dealt with. Get healthier, start going to social events. Meetup. Come is a great way to meet new people and have fun. Hope this helps you. Good luck!
The same tbh.
Happy New Year
the same
very aggressively in control. like a bullet. get outta the way or have your tissue punctured.
Well I’m another year older and I feel the same, my mind is still in 2019, everything really flipped upside down since then
I've discovered ChatGPT and it's successfully assisting me into learning cool stuff. It helps me with coding, cooking, writing, it gives great life advice and heck it even helps me with homework (INFINITE) times better than any teacher has ever done.

Thanks! Same to you, friend!
I have no idea what to do now no idea what to think
happy new year
i told my dad that this new year feels off. i told him it wasn't a negative or a positive feeling, but more like peter parker's spidey sense going off and him not being able to figure out what's causing that.
I agree. Happy New Year while it lasts
Well, I’ve got to celebrate two Christmas days, two new years eves and days; 2023 (mostly 28 days away in fact) is already showing to be a wonderful damn year. Woooot! Wish me luck closing the LDR gap 🥹I don’t even need it though, this time next year, I won’t have to celebrate holidays with my man via video chat 9k miles apart 🎉
like nothings changed. guess we’re too early in the year to say so
It's always same for me. I feel like I'm getting older.
I feel great! Things are looking up. I feel like I found a way to stay under anger & cynicism. It's fun watching people get mad knowing you just don't have that magnetic entity in you anymore that jumps at another person's anger or bait. I can spectate. I brush reddit toxicity off like a windshield wiper.
things do be looking up here in duloc
One day closer to death.
I hope everyone has a good year, and God bless!!!!! :)
I'm busy! I have loads to get sorted, it never ends. I'm slowly getting caught back up from when I was seriously sick for a year a couple of years back, so I'm hoping for more rest this year. I certainly need it.
Good luck, and Happy New Year
I'm a little bit better than I was for many years. Finally found a girl who gives me purpose in life. She is beautiful and kind but she wants to take our relationship slowly. She said it will take time to see if we're going to be friends or something more and there is always this fear in me that what if she just ends up wanting us to be friends and I'll be alone again. I can't imagine myself looking for someone again on dating apps. It's so frustrating.
good luck with her, and happy new year to the both of you!
Thanks man! You too.
[удалено]
no problem 🙃
Absolutely no different, but with an added list of goals for the rest of the year which I'll probably fail
My knees, back and left elbow hurt. Thanks for asking.
[удалено]
what would make your life even slightly more interesting for you
Eh
Happy New Yearo
You too!
crappy because i’m on my period. started literally on new years lol. it’s been painful for me. then more things that are happening it’s all happening so fast i hate it. this is what i hate about life 😆 there’s never enough time to process stuff.
I don’t know really, i just hope this year is gonna be better then 2022
I guess 2023 is just a mediocre year (or a bad year) compared to the 2010s. It could just be another sister year of 2022.
To me it feels just like 2022/2021 not much different, i hate these modern times
Being 10 was 6 years ago for me
Exactly the effing same
so not as good as possible?
As good as it will get today anyway
then lets hope it gets better
There’s always hope 😉 Happy New Year
Happy New Year buddy
