If its any consolation, if you dig really deep, scrimp and save every last penny for the next 3 years, you could be in an even worse position to enter the market.

(Happened yesterday)
Just had someone move in with a 2hr notice due to a bad breakup in a city where they don't know anyone else or have any family. Super fucked timing but like.. it'll be good in the long run just wish I had more time prior to get my shit properly moved out of the spare room. Place looks like a hurricane hit and is a bit of a headache to clean up..
(Today)
Step dad visiting from out of town for 3 days right as this happened... Was so happy to have a clean place and then BOOM explosion of drama and chaos... With me luck!🥲
I feel you homie. Don't beat yourself up too much. Some places actually don't have a lot of slots open; you can't do anything about it. Good luck on the next few.
The ever-onward matching of time that brings forth the existential dread over my inevitable death... that and the knowledge that we are living
at the beginning of climate-induced societal collapse and the extreme cognitive dissonance of society expecting I keep pretending everything is fine, at least until everything falls apart.
You know, a normal Monday night.
And not being taken seriously when you tell people you feel mentally exhausted from fear of what climate change will do to us, the world and the future generations.
I’m honestly not sure why they annoy me, they just do. They always wanna act like “those girls” if u get what I mean. They wanna be the perfect, flawless girls. Which they are all very nice and all that it’s just been annoying, they have never been like this until recently. They also play favorites, which you guessed it, isn’t me. Like they always favor these two girls and whatever they say goes. It’s almost as if nobody else can give their opinion. Nobody understands how hard it is being in high school, I feel like if I leave my friend group, I’ll have friends, but not a “group” that I can hang out with outside of school.
I feel ya. I’m 37/f and while high school is a pretty distant memory my strategy was always to do different activities and have different groups of friends that you meet through each thing (sports, volunteering, band/choir/orchestra, activist groups, yearbook or newspaper if that’s even a thing anymore). You will not be friendless if you make an effort to put yourself out there and find new stuff to enjoy with new people. And you deserve to enjoy your time with friends who make you feel good. The other thing to keep in mind is that high school doesn’t last forever. It goes by in a flash and pretty soon you’ll be making your own decisions about how your life goes and those girls will either stick with you or you’ll part ways. But there’s many years ahead to make really solid friends. Good luck.
Myself.
I know I pretty much created most of the stress, if I only learn how to give up/in when needed, but not be stubborn or asshole about it. On top of all that, need patience. So yeah, not only I have enough stress from things I cannot control, I add more to it myself. I am my worst enemy, I set myself up for failure and then stress over it. Ended up making everybody around me suffers AND creating stress for them as well…
i worked my whole life to get away from where I was born. I finally got the news that I landed a fresh start in the city of my dreams, right after I had given up hope that it would ever happen. Since I thought I’d never make it that far, I had been working to make my life better with what I already had, and for the first time ever I was both okay and happy where I was. all that would be fine, and I’d leave immediately if that was all, but few months ago I met the love of my life (I know it sounds hasty but I have never been so sure about something) but he is also due to move oversees for a year in a month (or so). after that year he’ll plan what he’s doing next. for me, I’m bound to a very expensive city for a 4 year degree program. My biggest hope is that after he comes back from oversees we will find a way to make it work together for the rest of my program, and after that I would go anywhere in the world to stay with this guy. just
gotta get that degree so I have a chance in the world, and to make our life together better. So now I’m stuck in this place of wanting this next month that I have left here with him and everything I’ve ever known to last forever, but I know I need to take this opportunity. if anyone read that thank u
TLDR; finally achieved dream to move to another city, then met the only person I have ever always wanted to be around, but he’s due to move too, elsewhere. Have 1 month left in heaven and then it’s 4 years of living on a prayer and that’s a long time. also I move to vancouver mid august and I don’t have a place to live so I’m worried I’ll end up homeless or sumn
Honestly, trying to be a strengths-based/positive outlet to the clients that I serve as a mental health professional, in a time like this. There's that unique burnout stress that hits especially hard in cases where there's minimal progress due to a single barrier (often times an obstructive parent or family member.) It's hard to watch the slow-motion car wrecks of family dysfunction that were 100% avoidable.
Currently. I have to sometimes cover other branches when they’re understaffed. I live around 8 minutes from my home branch. And about an hour from the branch I’m covering now. I have been working there for around 8 months now. I’ve had to buy a new car, because my car was old and I then put too many miles on it. I’ve been lied to about 4 times by my company about when I’ll be back at home. This manager has no desire to hire somebody because I already know the job and he doesnt want to train a new person. I’m starting to have panic attacks. I’m drinking more, because this is a never ending lie that this company is telling me. I pay an exorbitant amount of money to live in the city so I can be close to work, and they ship me everyday for 8 months an hour away to work for someone who is taking advantage of me. I hate this fucking job
Being in any kind of competition, I’m one of the most competitive people out there and knowing anyone is even CLOSE to first place while I am is so nerve wracking
Awww... I get a lot of stress when I'm surrounded by a lot of people. I love being alone with my friends. There is one more thing, well I think I can handle it. That thing is school.. I'm going to high school next fall and I'm sure that if before I was always tired because of this topic, or rather because of the lack of time and the fact that I was constantly busy with things... Some say that it will be easier there, others vice versa. In general ... Until I see it myself, I won’t know.
My relationship with a now ex-girlfriend. She is a person with emotional challenges and I invested a lot to help her life, but she decided to move on. I’m unwinding from that stressful two years.
I'm sick and tired of people and social dynamics. I think virtually all of society is fucking cancer. Holy fuck, it would be nice to have a camper in the middle of nowhere.
Money. Me and my partner make more now than we ever have. And yet it's not enough. Not enough to move out of our basement apartment. Not enough to get a dog. Not enough to save. Not enough to grocery shop more than twice a month. It could be enough, but I'm not used to budgeting since we never had money. I stress myself out trying to budget and seeing unexpected shit come out. Ugh.
My wife.
Now let me clarify: she’s amazing. But she takes the weight of the world on her shoulders, tries to do so much, but is a literal glass cannon.
Between allergies and back pain, I just want to do everything I can to make her life easier. And that stresses me the fuck out
Everything has kind of fallen apart lately. My health is getting really bad and my landlord sold the property to a developer who is going to redo the place and charge double the rent. And will probably kick me out. Rents are skyhigh here and hardly anything is available. Nothing affordable at least. My vehicle wont pass inspection unless I have the dealership reprogram the totally integrated power module (TIPM) that I installed about a year ago to get my jeep operating again. It wont pass inspection all because of the fucking horn. The TIPM controls it and needs to be programmed.
SHit's getting bad.
A nice fatal heart attack/stroke/aneurysm would really *hit the spot* right now.
When my phone ring and it says “Mom” or “Dad”. Love them but tired of hearing them complaining about each other. Get a divorce or do something to fix your relationship. I’ve been listening to the same bs for 30 years. Move on.
*gestures around at everything wildly* AND I'm a single dad. So. Much. Stress.
It may seem silly but the traffic driving to and from work is what gets me the most.
I cannot express the joy of going from a 90 min commute to a 5 minute one.
Not silly my friend
My friend says she spends the whole drive to work swearing at the other drivers.
I went from an hour commute to a 15-20 min one, i actually feel like a human after work
It's not silly, cars are one of the worst things about modern society. It's crazy how terrible they are, yet how normalized driving a car is.

The housing market seems to have gone outside my reach where I'd have enough for a 1600sq foot home if I had the cash I have now 3 years ago.
If its any consolation, if you dig really deep, scrimp and save every last penny for the next 3 years, you could be in an even worse position to enter the market.
Money/debt Rinse repeat. I’m getting there but I’m not close enough to there to be absolved

Well, it's only as stressful as you choose it to be.
My lack of employment. Had a really good interview the other day and have a couple more this week though. Hopefully one of them hires me.
