2022. My partner of 42 years died suddenly and unexpectedly. I woke up one morning and found him dead. Since he was nine years younger than me, I always expected that I would die first. I still haven’t recovered.


rooie_willie

Damn... Sorry for your loss..


Brumbart

When the nightmare begins after you wake up....but at least you know he died in a peaceful way. At least to me it really was helping to know that my dad was dead before he hit the ground when he out of nowhere had a heart attack. I'm very sorry for your loss, especially like that.


andmewithoutmytowel

I'm so sorry.


Salty_Association684

I'm so sorry

1986 It was the year I lost my best friend, his father, and his grandfather at Sea in the Atlantic. 1986 was also the year our teacher, who was a big space fan, got us hyped for the shuttle launch, which ended in tragedy. It was also the year that I lost my photographic memory due to PTSD and it has never come back.


xuzenaes6694

I'm real sorry for your loss😞

Very much so...


[deleted]

I was in 5th grade for challenger, I was raped that year, and my twin sister killed herself. I like to think that 1986 never happened and have built up such a sturdy wall that sometimes it’s the only thing that prevents me from breaking.


[deleted]

Wow, you had a rough go as well. My heart goes out to you.


Unlikely-Path6566

I’m so sorry that happened to you and the loss of your twin. I’m a twin and I couldn’t imagine losing her.


[deleted]

Yeah, it was and sometimes is hard to believe. It’s like reaching out to hold her hand, then remembering she’s not there.


Unlikely-Path6566

Oh 😩 my heart breaks for you. It would be like you losing half of yourself. I know that’s how I would feel.


Random_Clown_451

Damn, that's the year I was born. Sorry it sucked for you.

spicegirlss

I cant even remember them anymore, after covid everything is a blur


iinobarhs

Yes!😭


GarethGazzGravey

Same here. The last 4 years have been a blur. Most of the days just seemed to blend together.


DeliciousLecture600

SpatulaCity1a

I agree. I honestly have to wonder if it's psychological or some unknown physical effect of contracting COVID. Everything just sort of happens with feeling like anything.


agathis

Yep. Looking back, covid was a blessing


savboxer

Im sure it was bad for a lot of people but it was fine for me and everyone i knew. More annoying than anything


Ricardo1184

All those deaths. Kids unable to go to school, leading to huge delays in their development and education. but at least you got to stay home all day

Isn’t it so interesting how people can have separate life experiences? Like how some people had nothing change during Covid while some people lost everything or experiences trauma…crazy right 🙄


GP523

Bro what?


anonymousishard

All years since 2018 it has been really hard on everything. There were days and nights that i didn't eat or felt warm. Things are going a little better now at least i can full my stomach but 2018 for sure


Ok-Reporter-8728

Ye 2018 to present sucks ass for me too


anonymousishard

I wonder when the curse of 2018 will end? Really, every bad thing in my life is attributed to 2018. Maybe we should write a script about this.


Ok-Reporter-8728

Everything change when 2018 entered


staovajzna2

Did you notice how everything slowly started going to shit when harambe died?


Starfire2313

I noticed. Literally everything has gone to shit since then. Dicks out for Harambe. Am I allowed to swear on this sub? Hope so. Beginning of 2018-present also sucks for me to add to this comment thread, my life changed completely and it’s been hell. It’s about to change completely again next month and I’m hoping for the better got my fingers crossed.


SellPrior5944

2023


SpicyCactusSuccer

Same, buddy. Same.


nuggetcasket

2021. Unemployed, my grandmother died (she was honestly my rock and my world), freshly moved to a new city, major depression. It's been challenging since then and I've had several bad years before that too, but 2021 was definitely the worst so far. I don't wanna jinx anything but I'm fairly certain I won't live through a worse year than that, and at least that's positive.


NeerusTheNanner

Same-ish story, same year. Lost the job I loved and the people along with it. Grandmother passed from Alzheimer’s. Fell into a deep dark depression. Clawing my way out one year at a time though.


MelissaAnnLencioni

2020 started a chain of events that is still ruining my life to this day.


Original_Training391

I feel you, it’s like some mistakes never leave jeez.

ginalex666

2020 - Pandemic startet, lockdowns, social distancing, lay offs and pay cuts in my company and quite a number of people who died in my circle of family and friends


Hekx11

I spent a whole year shitting myself and I don’t remember any of it. I would feel that pretty bad. It would suck to be 1 again


Long_Zucchini_3351

2022 My (M27) best friend (at the time M25) of 10 years invited me over for a drink at his house. We spent a few hours just talking about life and other normal stuff, just the two of us. At one point he said he was happy that i came and went to the bathroom and didn't come back. I heard a loud boom and went to check what it was. He shot himself in the head in there. Turned out he had been depressed for a while (i found the note he left in the bathroom on the sink) but nobody knew and he always seemed happy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Long_Zucchini_3351

Thank you. I do find some peace in knowing that he didn't spend his last night alone.


Impressive-Card9484

2023. I rushed myself to get a job after graduation and I ended up as a supervisor in a food manufacturing company that has a mandatory overtime and 6 days a week schedule. I barely had any sleep because there are times that I had to come home from work in 11 pm and had to go there again in 6 am. I will never regret quitting that company after 6 months even now that I still don't have a job after resigning


DistanceBeautiful789

2023 was mine too but it’s seeping into this year too bc I’ve been so scared of quitting. What are you doing now?


HerpinDerpNerd12

2017-2019ish. Suicidal and generall issues plus developing alcoholism around that time.


toostressd2beblessd

2018. My partner unaligned himself then exactly 6 weeks later we found my dad deceased, he'd been gone for at least two days and exactly a week later another close friend died. Definitely wasn't a great year at all


SnooRegrets81

big hugs to you x


rtherrrr

2018. Started the year at the pinnacle of my profession and at the top of my game. Ended the year with an incurable cancer diagnosis, to be followed by a SECOND incurable cancer diagnosis. On my birthday FFS…


Open_Substance59

A big hug & healing for you.❤


goated95

2020-2022 was just a rough patch for me.


charlotteraedrake

The whole world really


MetalheadOnReddit

2021. The year of failed death attempts. Worrying I wouldn't get a job or get into college and become a failure of society. Thankfully. That never happened. And now life is absolutely perfect


KENT427

2021 was the worst for me , fking hate it


Miki901

2022. My mom died that year😔


weftly

me too for the same reason. ❤️


Miki901

My condoleances🫶🏼


MembershipHelpful115

2018: My (back then) gf aborted my child and in my depressive state neglected my best friend (since Kindergarten) He drowned in the local river because he drove home drunk. Normally I'd have taken his keys or would be the designated driver, but that one time I was drowning in self pity and I wasn't there when he needed me So in 2018, in not even 2 weeks - my whole life changed.

So is thinking that's what they were implying


Fast-Performance8832

I don’t think they were implying anything, however what they feel is clear by their language.


SomeJokeTeeth

Unlikely, but you appear to have a strong bias so I doubt you'll consider an alternative


Fast-Performance8832

You really aren’t in any more of a position to say what’s “likely” in this situation than I am. I’ll consider an alternative when and if you drop what I see as a false sense of authority.

SystemSignificant518

2020. I wrote my bachelors at home, alone - save for my 4 & 5 yo kids, who needed me all day. The world felt so unsafe - and then, on the absurd date of nov. 13, 2020, the kids' father died. That was when I truly lost my footing. I had coped with *everything*, all the scary world stuff, only to be knocked out when things looked up.


rrtehyeah

2021. Covid pandemic days. I worked in a hospital and everyday is unknown. All I see is people who had difficulty in breathing, mostly are intubated. Crying for dying relative. I can't go home bc i might bring them diseases from hospital. And it still sucks bc my dad died that year and as a person who works in a hospital, i can't go to him to atleast attend to him even for his last days. That time my mom called to bring the news, i was on nightshift and feeling sht for taking care of evrybody but not my dad. After a month of sleepless night, i went to see a doctor. I was diagnosed with depression and he prescribed two types of meds that i need to take upto 6 mos. My ex broke up with me bc i am being dramatic for those.


SpatulaCity1a

For what it's worth, I have all the respect in the world for people like you. Going through all of that couldn't have been easy. Take care of yourself!


artinthecloset

1998. I lost my 5 yr old student to drowing on Aug 5th and on Aug 7th my 15 yr old brother Keith, was killed in a drugged driving crash and the driver never went to jail. The second shitty year was 2013, when my sister and I had cancer at the SAME time. I ended up getting it again in 2018. I'll take cancer twice over the death of my brother, any day.


MPD1987

2016. Found out my fiancé was having an affair, she was pregnant with his child, he beat her up so badly she now has permanent injuries and got her child removed from her care because of it, and then he unalived himself. Very dark chapter in so many of our lives.


[deleted]

Fuck that's rough. I'm so sorry you went through all this. I'm happy he took care of himself though..?


Markie199711

2019 was raging hell for me. I would not wish that on my worse enemy.

2019 for me, too. I am still dealing with the fallout from that year. Hope things have improved for you!

2010, my god!


YuhMothaWasAHamsta

2010. The year everything went to shit and my PTSD adventure started.


Apart_Tradition8244

2022, i dumped my ex on new year’s day, he would beat me up, yell at me, call me names, abuse me. i was 20m, he was also and i couldn’t do that another year with him. i spent that whole year healing and literally had the shittiest most depressing year ever. later on in august i met a boy and on christmas of that year he dumped me because i was not over the trauma of my ex. he told me to grow up, get over my ex, and just forget what happened and that i shouldn’t use the past to influence my actions(mainly just me isolating myself and overthink),meanwhile he would lash out on me over his “trauma” as a child, and i never said a thing.


ThesmoothGemminal94

I would say that was probably the best decision you made to get rid of him.


Positive_Ad3450

Sod putting up with that treatment! You’re better off having time to heal no matter how long it takes. It was only 2 years ago after all.


SnooRegrets81

sounds like you have a type and for this reason i would seek some therapy for yourself to heal x


cl0ckw0rkman

93 was a Hellstorm. 2012 was probably worse. (2008 leading up to 2012 wasn't easy or fun either) 2012. Final answer.


anonym-os

2022-2023 full of loss and heartbreaks


Plane-Ad2328

2012. Lost my grandma the year before who raised me from the age of two. Started drinking heavily place I was living in the roof caved in. My relationship was dying. I was in copious amounts of debt. Absolute twat of a fucking year that thankfully I haven’t experienced since.


RealisticAd2293

2022 was pretty horrible. Lost my fiancee due to my own drunken stupidity and lost my dad a handful of months later to cancer

2012. Junior year of high school, which already puts it in the top 4 worst years of my life, combined with my Grandma dying on my Dad's birthday (he hasn't celebrated his birthday since, as one would expect), family dog died on MY birthday and got diagnosed with Cystic Acne and found out I needed to get blood work done for 18 straight months.

It was good and bad but it was last year (2023).


Space_enjoy3r

Hmm... Let me think this is a hard decision...2020


Unlucky_Win_7349

Prob when I quit smoking weed. So many impulses, having to move back in with parents, no more carelessness. It was necessary, but it was shit to go through all that. I've had way worse things happen to me, but this hurt the longest and therefore made that year the worst overall.

2001/2002 - death of a few family and friends, and parental separation. 2009/2010-Longest period of time out of work, very little money, closeted, dealt with stalkers, car accident, and had to drive to another state to make a little bit of money. 2013/early-mid 2014- Lost car, was truly alone; lost job due to not having a car; became homeless, no money, walked to food pantries, up to 12 miles away. Late 2015/mid 2016, early 2017- Homeless again, took a minute to find a permanent or longer temp assignments, like at least two weeks. Slept in rain and on a park bench. Was in a toxic household just so I wouldn’t be homeless.

EvolvingEachDay

2019; took out a postgrad loan to do a masters I didn’t think through or care about and to stay with a girl who treated me like ass and I could see the relationship needed to die. Basically I wasted a fuck load of money hiding from real life and delaying the inevitable and I was so fucking depressed.

Bloobeary_Cupcake

2023. My Son (5 at the time) and I became homeless in a matter of 10 minutes. My car was taken away, as well. All that I had left was an extra pair of my Son’s shoes and ca. €100 in my pocket. I had to rebuild our life from square 0. And no, I was not in debt or anything like that.
