Last year was rough, but manageable then it blew up in my face toward the end of 2024.
2025 has been a shit-storm that may lead to my suicide.
How fucked is that?

Friend, I haven't had a good year for the past few decades lol.

Friend, I haven't had a good year for the past few decades lol.

I am sorry that you are struggling. We deserve better.

January started out bad, and it just got worse and worse through out the course of the year. Very little hope it will improve by December. A miracle could happen and my life could improve, but miracles do not happen to me.

 

[CandyCane]

This year is terrible. I developed a new, horrible mystery illness that keeps me in pain 24/7 and bedridden and my beloved cat died.

 

[otoyikim]

Easily the worst year in my life. Full stop.

I had years or times that i thought was bad but nothing really compares to this.

It's almost absurd.

I got close to ctb at some periods but this year really sealed the deal for me.

Worst year of my life

 

[Luke27]

This past year has probably been the worst one I've ever experienced. Every single day has been a struggle.

What has your experience with the past year been like?

I'm having a bad lifetime

What has your experience with the past year been like?

Life has always been extremely hard for me, and I've always been suicidal, ever since I was a small child. But 2025 has been the worst year of my life, so far. It's ironic, as I always thought 2025 would be one of the best years of my life.

To me, 2025 has been an emotional roller-coaster like no other. It's only brought me bigger and bigger falls, after each small recovery I've made. It's only given me hardship after hardship after hardship.

And it all started on new-years-eve, where I got my first indication of how bad 2025 would be for me. It was like getting a small foreshadowing of what was to come. (I even thought this back then, but I hoped I was wrong. Unfortunately though, I was right...) It's like 2025 is cursed for me; like it's been destined to be the worst year of my life.

All of my hobbies are being ruined by stupid people. The world is being ruined by stupid people.

Yep - dumb people are the main reason why this world is fucked up, and why it always will remain fucked up.

Dumb people simply tend to create completely unnecessary problems for both themselves and others, and tend to ruin all things that are good. It simply comes with the territory of being dumb.

Year? lol. I WISH my life had been shit for just the last year or even last few years.

Friend, I haven't had a good year for the past few decades lol.

This. I'm not having a bad year, a bad few years, a bad patch. No. I'm being crushed by an oppressive decades-long existence. It's not a bad period. It's a bad life. I will never understand why I was picked to have a life like this. I don't get the point of making me suffer for >90% of my life - where only my only childhood was "okay", not great - just for me to die unhappy. I don't get what I did so wrong.

2025 has been a roller coaster. After things collapsed for me near the end of 2024, I struggled to put the pieces back together, and things started coming together in the spring but by summer, things started spinning out of control and now that roller coaster may be running out of track.

Between inflation, the failing economy, a complete lack of support and diminishing options, I've been left with suicide as a way to avoid poverty and homelessness.

I feel you...

And avoiding possible homelessness, is currently also 1 of my own reasons to commit suicide.

 

[Jisatsu]

My last 2 years have been the worst 2 years of my life. I lost two partners to suicide and I've been betrayed by so many people in my life.

 

[corpse]

Every year it only gets worse.

I have no words. I am sorry for your losses.

What the Hell happened to this world that we need to consider suicide?

 

[dhk96]

One of the worst, I guess. My older sister has been a huge source of stress the past few years ever since she came back. I despise her so much that simply being aware of her existence makes me want to rip my eyes and throat out. I try to avoid her but actively trying to avoid her means I have to keep her in my thoughts. It's an endless cycle where she just ends up living rent-free in my head.

 

[SoulWantsHome]

What the Hell happened to this world that we need to consider suicide?

The fundamental selfishness of animal-nature (which also lives in our human nature), in combination with resources being fundamentally limited in life (which is part of the reason why animals have developed a fundamental selfishness), is what happened.

Due to the combination of those 2 things, options for survival are therefore limited (although the options for survival are way better in some countries, than they are in other countries, of course), as both people's altruism has its limits, and the resources in life has its limits - and society's care/help for the weak group of the population, is thereby limited (although, again, society's care/help for the weak group of the population, is way better in some countries, than it is in other countries, of course).



And to be fair:
The reason why I personally might end up homeless, is primarily that I'm too depressed to bother with finding a new apartment at the moment, and I'm strongly considering suicide instead (as I had originally planned to commit suicide instead of moving anywhere; I originally didn't intend on being alive long enough to have to deal with the possibility of being homeless).

If I actually tried finding a new apartment that I could get, I would probably find one eventually (although the competition is hard).

 

[Grimlock]

It has been a stressful year. I have less than what I started with and experienced a couple major setbacks, I'm still trying to catch up to where I was.

 

[MyShadow]

Same here. It took my 9 months of hard searching to find a place to live. Housing costs where I live doubled then doubled again, so I am living with 4 housemates in a rundown house in a shit town and STILL paying way too much.

I hope you can find a place.

 

[MyShadow]

Sorry to hear OP.

And to answer your question, yes. I have been having bad years since I graduated in '23.

Got the wrong degree out of, you know, "only" ten thousand different ones to choose from. But I don't think there is a right degree for me anyway; I hate everything. I hate working, and so I hate this life.

No non wage-slave future. Not attractive, even all the years in my late teens and early 20s when I honestly felt good and took care of myself. I will never own anything, like a nice car and house even if I did enslave myself. All of my hobbies are being ruined by stupid people. The world is being ruined by stupid people. I hate AI. No help, no answers, no way out to be found anywhere; I have looked far and wide, high and low, nothing.

Nowadays I have no motivation. Can't focus, can't read. Feel like I am getting dumber. Can't write, creativity has seemingly abandoned me. Can barely enjoy video games. Tired, irritable, just done.

I digress. Will CTB when parents pass. Hopefully things turn around for you, at least.

The whole world has gone to shit. There's no purpose. No integrity. No empathy. People are getting dumber and more ignorant yet they somehow manage to run the world. A.I. scares me because the people who run the companies don't understand morality and it will inevitably eliminate humans.

That's insane...! At least you found a place eventually, but (in an ideal world, or at least in a better world) it shouldn't be that difficult to find a place to live, and it shouldn't be that expensive to keep it.

I hope you can find a place.

Thanks. I kind of hope so too - although a part of me doesn't really care, and is determined to commit suicide instead. I guess we'll see which part of me that wins in the end...

 

[trashisland]

this is definitely my worst year. so much has been weighing on my mind and bad things just keep happening, adding to my stress and building up until I get actual headaches thinking about it. my situation just gets more shit by the year

 

[huifu]

This year and the last one have been hell for me even worse than the year my dad died I don't know what to do i just eant to die soon

 

[gorewhoree]

All I've been doing this year is losing friends and getting high/sleeping to deal with it. And my old pets are starting to decline. Weird how much changes in just 1 year.
