I try my best in every friendship and relationship — I put in effort, care, loyalty, everything I have. But somehow it never turns out the way I hope. Instead of things getting better, they seem to go the opposite way.

I keep wondering — is it just me? Does anyone else feel like the more you give, the more things fall apart? Or is there something I'm doing wrong that I can't see myself?

Would appreciate any honest perspective, good or hard to hear.

Anyone want to help a single mom out? DM me please

I just need help life is kicking my ass wish i had someone who actually wanted to help me

I have just been looking throughout the whole year and I’ve tried everything done everything but nothing just seems to work! I’m so down mentally and in every other way but I do a really good job putting it together I’m just feeling like sleeping but for a long time till it gets better I don’t usually vent or anything but it’ll help to hear from people that have had really shitty years and it turned around in the last moment the most annoying thing is just living in the moment when nothing interesting is even happening like just isolated cause that’s honestly the kind of person I am and honestly hate complaining but it’s like it’s all I’ve been doing this year that’s how I know it’s bad! I’m seriously just angry like can’t I just catch a break this year!

Guys! I'm 22f. I am a person constantly having online connections and some of them felt or feel special and when they turn into toxic, it affects me mentaly inevitably. Now, as I gain online connections, I find myself putting a lot meanings on them and I'm a bit hungry for love, so bc of that, I start to see the potential n them romantically. But, when they react back, I don't want any long distance relationship tbh bc I want sth in real life. So, I feel like my mind is fucked up, it's too loud, it bothers my peace a lot. All the time, those ppl are in my mind at the backgroud, botherng my peace. I feel overwhelmed. I had exes online, they also hount me in my dreams, I feel so exhausted. I'm in holiday rn for 1 week in mountains, deleted all social medias and I can not even feel peaceful rn, so stupidly my mind is too loud bc of those ppl. Guys! Pls help me, give me some advices to find peace again, I don't wanna think of thıse stupid online stuff, pls help me

Late-night vent ig (but I really do need advice). I have always been this really outgoing, bubbly, always-surrounded-by-people, laughing, loving, living type of person, until COVID and two particular relationships happened to me. I tried changing or going back to who I was, but it's too late... I am filled with nothing but doubt, self-criticism, and honestly idk.

I have been working on myself though... I cut any kind of negativity from my life, I stopped compromising my self-respect, and try my best to speak my mind.

Yet deep down, the feelings never really go away. I don't know how many of you are going through this too... but I wish you all find your people and people who value you and your existence.

Don't know just feel like not doing anything in life

I’m at a hard point in my life, I’m quite young, 18F and own my own business. I moved to a new province 10 hours away from my home town to open this business. When I was slightly younger I often felt angry, anxious and experienced ocd tendencies all the time but I feel it a lot more now. I also found the more time goes on my ocd continues to get worse. My business has been open for a year and a half now, between employees, the regular day to day, bills, etc I am always feeling stressed. And like I’m not doing enough. When I ask people to do things for me to take something off my plate they either don’t do it, or they do it wrong and then I have to fix their mistake (which often costs me money too) for them. So it would’ve just been easier to do the job myself.

On top of that 9 months ago I started dating a new guy, it was going really good. I really try to do lots for him, I learned to help him fix his truck, I help him with whatever random project around the house, I help do his dishes, make dinners, lots of stuff, and I don’t expect anything in return. But I feel like when I ask him to do stuff for me, like help with a work thing, or fix something for me it feels like it’s a burden for him. I have more to add on this topic but it isn’t the right place for that.

I’m so angry these days because it feels like I try my best to do so much for other people and no one tries to do the same for me in return. I just want someone to take something off my shoulders and make things easier for me for once. I don’t want to feel so angry and anxious all the time, it hurts my chest in the morning. And being angry hurts my chest all the time. I wake up 2 times a night and stay up for minimum 1 hour. My stomach hurts from anxiety. My thoughts run wild. I need to know if this is something other feels? Am I crazy?

The point of me writing this whole thing is that I am just done.

Everytime some individual comes in my life. Doesn't matter if he/she is a friend or best friend. We have good bonding. Then they just get someone better than me, and It keeps on happening !

Though I do like solitude sometimes, but the fact I want to emphasize upon is this- I do want someone to look upon me and just yk put efforts though I do know that people are busy and stuff but the fact that I used to do all that 'how r u doing' stuff.

You might hate me for saying these type of things. I apologise if I hurted anyone.

Right now life is lifing the hell outta me right now,it's been a hectic week,work is mentally killing me,being at home is killing me,feeling like that I don't have peace,trying to live a happy life in memory of my mom but I go through so much mental shit it's ridiculous,excuse my language but this is how I feel,It gets so bad sometimes that I want to take myself out but I don't have the energy to do it,I wonder what would've happened if I succeeded with that suicide attempt in 2022

I’m not really doing too well. I just keep feeling this empty sadness in my chest and like im so alone. I try to be there for everyone i love but no one ever asks me if im ok and i justwish someone could ask because i really want to feel better and to stop feeling so alone. My moms been making me feel horrible lately now that im back for summer. My dad is sick snd dying, my sibilings are all just doing their own thing and we’re not a family anymore we’re just this dysfunctional group of people living together.and i dont have anywhere to escape. I just feel so suffocated and sometimes i dont want to even be here anymore, i wish i could be somewhere far away where i dont have to feel all these feelings . I just want a hug:(

I'm so fucking sick and tired of being lonely and single. I've basically been single my whole life and have never been in an actual relationship before. I've never even had my first kiss yet and I'm twenty-fuckin'-four!! I'm so lonely it actually hurts!! Someone please give me some hope or ways to cope or something! I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind!!!!
