freckles i used to have had melded into a few weird splotches and i'm currently on a routine of vitamin c serum and retinol cream i'm seeing results but i could have avoided this had i been more religious about sunscreen in the past that said i'm glad it's the first thing that came to mind when i chose to answer this question because it means i don't have any horrible standout problems in my world sunscreen kids the song wasn't a lie 14. crippling depression and anxiety and i'm too much of a [ __ ] to tell anyone about it i'm openly gay but have to live to lives because my dad is

i'm 26. recently graduated as a doctor i need to go look for a better job but i have no idea even where to begin i feel like i don't know anything and that i'm not as good as my peers i'm terrified of actually working as a doctor on my own for the first time late 30s wife has chronic neuromuscular condition treatments she's been using for the last 20 years are no longer effective and she's in chronic debilitating pain no other available treatment except for brain surgery that has at best a 50 over 50 shot of helping if it doesn't can make everything much worse she can't get out of bed some days those days are getting closer and closer together her cat almost died a few weeks ago spent a week at the vet ended up with approximately three dollars zero zero zero and vet bills don't have any savings due to medical issues was able to scrounge up about half and vet allowing us to pay the rest in installments also didn't insist on payment upfront don't know where that money will come from now he's incontinent and being in the bed and he's diabetic got to wake up to that this morning nothing like cleaning up cat pee first thing and changing the sheets i'm self-employed in a profession i hate as my job is to literally take on other people's problems i have to hide my depression and anxiety from her and everyone else since i'm supposed to be their rock don't know how much longer i can take it and glad i don't own a firearm right now still probably wouldn't do it because of what it would do to her and i can't have that on my conscience don't have any way out since she can't work and i can barely keep up with the bills and stress of the job don't have any other sources of money we can use and no one else who can help i've borrowed so much money from friends and family to try and cover medical bills but that's tapped out and i have no one else to go to credit is crap because of medical bills and related issues can barely force myself out of bed every day keep going for her time to get in the shower and do it all over again 17. weird not interesting feel like my opinion doesn't matter or not interesting so i keep it to myself most of the time 35 years old and i can't get my confidence up enough to apply for a job that i'm qualified for even though it would pay better and help my financial debt situation i sell cheese but i'm a qualified cal and document control associate i also have a psych degree anyone need some gowda 24 meters there is no direction to my life every week the same things work 40 hours a week nine to five go home smoke weed game and the weekends is always hanging out with the same people who only want to do is chill get wasted or high there is no excitement anymore i'm trying to connect with other people but that is fun for a moth also then the same thing happens is what i do with my other friends or there is no more connection life is getting boring and the days are slowly going by 45 and my mother just passed away suddenly at 68. now i have to handle cleaning out her apartment the cremation stopping all of the bills she had getting her lease car handled and all the while keeping up a good face for my four kids who just lost their grandma 24 trying to find a decent job in my area so i can move out of my parents house 23 and i'm in a lot of debt right now and have to take another loan out to pay the bills this month 17 depression and anxiety 17 can't see my family in mexico because they are in the middle of an ongoing drug war my maternal grandmother who i had lived with up until nine years old is in her last moments and my parents have only allowed me to see her once every few years i will probably not have the chance to see her again i went back to mexico this summer and i felt like a dead man walking i hope some of you know what i mean i was a vague memory to a lot of people some my own blood my parents think i'm afraid of bullets i'm not i'm afraid of dying alone here in the netherlands with no purpose i have no responsibilities here i live in my own shadow everything i had in the past just decays while i sit here on the sidelines observing and contemplating about what cold been all i've done these past few years is entertaining myself in a locker room waiting i could hardly tell you on what needless to say i have no friends i live here with my father my mother and my two little brothers all in an afterthought while i listened to the tales of the events of what once was i'm 60 my joints and tendons previously quite tough has turned into a bunch of little delicate laced oilies that i have to be careful with then doctors tell me that this sort of thing is inevitable with age i hate it that they're right 16 year old in england currently doing a levels in college and being asked what do you want to do in the future and what are you doing when you finish college in two years time and i genuinely have zero percent of an idea what i want to do with my life i'm 38 years old and i'm consistently kept awake at night worrying about my 17 year old son and how he's going to navigate adulthood i worry that i haven't prepared him enough for the harsh realities of the world outside my home i worry that he won't be happy safe or secure in his life i'm a parent i worry 19 trying to get into a relationship because i don't want to die alone to be honest i don't even know if i even want a relationship or if i'm just being forced by societal norms the benefits definitely outweigh the cons i was sort of in the start of a relationship or so i thought but the other person was probably just interested in my appearance and not my personality i'm 28 29 next week and the love of my life doesn't want to be with me i know we are not right for each other in the end but it's still hard we share a life and i thought i'd die marry him we are staying together until after my birthday and a short trip to rome we have planned in november but after that we are parting ways i ask that we fake stay together because i knew couldn't enjoy those two events if we were broken up it would be much too painful so now i get to celebrate my birthday with him as my boyfriend and we'll have a blast exploring italy together but then it will be time for the inevitable move out and goodbye the worst part is that it's nothing i can change our personalities are just too different and i'm not what he wants it's painful going from thinking you'll spend your life with someone to knowing the exact date that it'll end in 21 currently trying to pay off my mother's gravestone and funeral so she can have a proper headstone on her plot times are tough though and i've fallen behind a bit i know time and willpower will eventually solve this but it's tough 22 meters getting ghosted by a girl i'm nuts about 19. not getting help for my anorexia and depression which makes it hard to hold a job my brother got diagnosed with cancer last week and my best friend had a psychotic episode because of drugs and got put in a mental facility 19. turning 20 in a 10 days in procrastination and laziness are my biggest problems in life 41. just got a job making 16 hr but after a week in realizing i might not be able to physically keep up with it long term denied twice for disability and couldn't risk being homeless with my three sons to continue trying to get approved i was squeaking by on money made online editing photos and video pc repair and odd jobs like hemming pads or helping people move but my doctor kept changing my adhd meds and i got kicked out of pain management because i refused to take the alphabet of meds on a regular basis they gave me for the to slip discs in my lower back i only took the pain meds when absolutely necessary between high pain levels and lack of focus i was unable to manage my time and started losing clients rapidly i decided i would just give regular employment a go after 15 plus years of squeaking by and after several months of filling out applications everywhere i finally got a call for an interview i love my job besides a ton of walking it isn't physically intense at all but after just five days of shifts my lower back and left knee hurts so bad i spend all of my down time soaking icing trying to stretch and resting with no relief from over-the-counter pain medication i did get back on my adhd meds but adjusting to being medicated after several months of nomed is a struggle on its own i'll keep pushing forward and hopefully find a better doctor or some kind of home remedy that will help with the excruciating pain i'm in but not going to work is not an option because my job is the only source of income we have and the time it would take to get things started up working for myself again or trying for disability without a regular paycheck we would be in the streets for sure 23 and i'm struggling to maintain a normal life while stealing the suicidal ideation i'm on medication and generally fine it can just be pretty tough sometimes 22. it's not that big deal but it's driving me crazy i stopped my graduation in languages literature and left my country to improve my language skills and have a better chance of a better work when i come back home and finish my studies i always wanted to spend only one year abroad and then come back home until i arrived here i'm in the end of the year and now i have actually zero percent of wish of going back home i want to stay here but i didn't finish my graduation so i can't find a good job and without a job i can't have a visa i could start studying here but the visa plus life costs are expensive and i don't have the money i have to go back home but i can't see myself living there anymore 52 stability i'm 28 f i have two small children and often feel overwhelmed by their needs i'm 20 not sure what i want to do with my life not sure if i want to stay at the job i'm doing or doing something totally different also just figured out i prob have ads and just came out of a depression 22 meters at the spine of her 80 year old from her accident 10 years ago i've had multiple procedures to help the pain and none of them have worked doctors are now not sure what to do and the problems will just get worse over time my insurance now won't cover me seeing the specialist i have been seeing for years i just had to quit my job two months ago due to the pain dropped out of college due to the pain making it too difficult to focus i spend most of my time in bed and it is hard to leave the house and do something because of that i have lost most of my friends i have older parents and i'm unable to help my dad around the house so it makes me feel like a terrible son i want to be able to travel before the pain is so bad that i can't even move but there's no way i'll ever be able to afford it even if i could afford it i'm afraid that i'll have a flare up and being able to leave the hotel i constantly think about how i'm going to be able to survive life without ending up on the streets i just got married and my wife suddenly has no sex drive and is depressed been a rough few months it's like she's a completely different person than when we were dating 17 school slash college applications i'm 30 and six months ago i broke up after almost eight years year ago i was planning to be pregnant at this time now i have to accept the new course of my life i feel old i do not want to be an old mom on the other hand i don't want to have kids with anyone just to have them if you understand i'm afraid that i won't find my so so many questions in my head i'm 24 kind of tired of my job and wanting to make my own money to leave my job and pursue my passions but most of the time my cob leaves me too tired unmotivated and uninspired to do something about i'm 30 diagnosed last year with adhs failed university this year just needed to write my thesis no intimacy with my girlfriend of two years anymore yeah life started therapy this year to deal with my disorder will start an apprenticeship in electronics in november and decided to have my own house in 10 years life goes on 40 meters currently in the middle of job switching i'm not convinced of the new one secondly i realized i almost completely lost all friends from my old life since i had kids and didn't really get new ones 22 and struggling to find a job haven't got education past high school and have a patchy work history due to travel slash mental health issues i've applied for so many jobs it's really really getting me down 41 f i'm starting to feel too comfy being single and afraid i don't even want to date ever again i'm 14 and i'm very lonely 21 living with my parents particularly my father i'm 37 and my problems are one i live in brazil two i have no money 30 and probably dating work is going well i'm financially stable and own a house and all that jazz but i just never really dated besides once in high school started doing online dating seriously a couple years ago and it's a pretty disheartening experience all around be it getting stood up or the grind of it all i did finally meet someone a couple months ago and we've been getting along well but i just have a lot of fears and troubles with the whole thing like a constant fear of freaking it up i'm 18. i have obsessive thoughts and trouble paying attention in school i live in us but in my culture mental issues are taboo so i don't really want to get it checked out also i'm a first year in college going into mechanical engineering but i don't know what they do so i don't know if that's what i want to do for the rest of my life i feel like i'm in love with a girl that i can't be with and it's really bumming me out it's complicated at 44 i had a transplant i'm now about to turn 59 in a few months i shouldn't have bothered to have it and just let go and died living on a pension means no prospects so no chance at attracting a female partner it's just been getting through each day the best you can and hasn't been worth it at all that i live in a place that was good enough to allow me to be pensioned off makes me seem ungrateful and a first world problem very grateful but without some company and some spare money to venture out and do things it is just pointless believe it or not it isn't depression speaking it's more like crippling boredom and the realization that this is it i push on as if everything is normal i exercise have hobbies that don't need much money etc but i've definitely had enough and would be happy to go into rejection tomorrow and welcome it with open arms not something with to do deliberately though as i promised i would take care of the gift i was given and i keep my word oh well back to the routine 28 good paying job but no savings gambling addiction credit card debt small low net about seven dollars zero zero zero all up tax debt of about six dollars 500 overweight taken up smoking again feels like relationship is on the verge of breaking down to kids involved not happy or motivated and disciplined to fix any of it at the moment love slash hate cycle of hopelessness 28 almost 29 i'm starting to try dating women and it's terrifying starting so late in the game 26 and not appreciating or feeling happy about my life although everything is all right getting good feelings from things is really difficult i was gonna write a comment about weight loss in my personal drama but the first three comments are somebody's son dying some kid getting his leg amputated and a person whose father was potentially kidnapped by al-qaeda jesus christ i hope things get better for you people my problems are nothing compared to yours i'm 32 and it's not really a problem but my wife and i are struggling with an energetic three-year-old and a cranky three-day old baby who both need all the attention all of the time i'm 32 i think i'm decent at photography and writing but i'm too anxious to delve into either hobby as hardcore as i'd like there's a local family-owned shop i had a roll of photos developed at his owner does lessons and critiques i'm so interested in hiring him for his time but i'm not sure what my hang up is also i'm kind of lonely but not lonely enough to try dating again i'm 16 and in a recent breakup from over a one-year relationship i'm 23 i just accepted a notably well-paying job in the field i studied in a city i love i should be happy but the company is fox news and i always feel a pang of guilt walking into work every day i don't agree with 95 percent of what i do there hopefully i can switch to another place after i gain enough experience [Music] [Music] [Music] you
