So depressed and disgusted with myself that I couldn't even muster up the energy to go to work today or even deliver my son to kindergarten so I've been doing jigsaw puzzles with my almost three year old son for the last seven hours hating myself intensely.

Today my girlfriend, the mother of my 3 year old son, told me she's been loving a coworker for the last two months and she wants to break up.

heavy with child, I snuck out to the stables to see my beloved, Jareth, the one good soul in my wretched existence, but upon reaching them a frightful sight awaited me: Jareth hanging from the rafters and the terrible King, my husband, laughing madly as the guards seized me and dragged me to the Tower of Solitude

Day 2 of living on my own since my fiance left me for another man and I am a loving wreck, been sitting in my underwear eating chinese food and getting drunk all day, I honestly feel physically ill like I have a fever. Kept it together through the moving process on account of not ruining things for my son but now I am hosed.

My day turned lovely when I remembered I'm deeply in debt and stuck in a job I hate with no way out except winning the lottery or suicide.

My day was lovely today for many reasons, chief among them the realisation I cant even be happy when I'm spending the day with my son. I can only imagine the deep depression I will fall into after tomorrow when I have to spend the whole day with my former in-laws, my ex (the mother of my son) and the man she dumped me for.

Regarding my post in the awesome day thread, my coworkers completely dismissed all the work I put into reducing theft in my store and just kept making excuse after excuse instead of just accepting I did something good for them while struggling with my illness. Glad to know how useless they really think I am. I don't understand. I'm trying so hard to keep up and do what I can to do a good job and no one cares. It hurts. A lot.

Never do more than the absolute bare minimum, my dude.

Got a new job which is good but because I was hired at the end of june I won't get paid until loving august 10th, the unemployment fucks are jerking me around cause TECHNICALLY I am doing labor for pay, even though I won't see any pay for almost another month. Due to this I'm late on rent, power, internet, phone, all the things a person needs to live. Oh and my new boss is into wage theft apparently and I am literally the only one at my new job who thinks it's hosed up and illegal so now I am going to have to make a scene about this in like my second full week of employment. gently caress ME.

Tonight I had a dream where I was debt free, in a 2 bedroom apartment out in the sticks, and it was summer. I woke up to my mountain of debt, my lovely 1 bedroom in the city, and it was raining and cold as balls. Totally destroyed any hope of having a good day.

That's what I mean by "no option left but escalate." That would work, but then it creates an even more hostile environment for the remaining 5 months while I struggle to scrounge up the money to move (I'm working 3 jobs already and can barely afford my bills). My roommate is very petty and vindictive, and I leave my dog alone with her. She's already pulled the insane move of contacting my girlfriend behind my back to try and complain about me, then blowing up at her when she told my roommate to kick rocks. She thinks I'm that I don't know that she did this.

I'm sure I could find a room somewhere that I could afford, it's 100% saving up the moving costs and the fact that even one unexpected event could send me into serious trouble.

How many floors is a habitat normally? Also I'm sorry about those box turtles. It sounds like you guys have a lot of work and little time to do it.

It sucks but you didn't create the lovely situation - your roommate did. You not escalating things because you don't want to rock the boat further is what she's banking on. Escalate the situation. Things are going to be lovely so why not make them lovely for her too?

Prolapsed my loving lower back and it completely blows, I can barely move and may have to be hospitalized. :( this could completely destroy my plans with my son this holiday. He lives most of the time with his mom and we haven't seen each other in like 10 weeks due to both of us being quarantined several times. gently caress

I'm back whining about my prolapsed disc which is better but it still hurts, and it hurt so bad initially that every time I exert myself and my back hurts a little extra I feel like I'm having a mini panic attack. I know physical activity is the way to heal it, and I do try to move around as much as possible but I'm actually terrified every time I sit down or stand up or bend slightly too far in the wrong direction. I can barely sleep because I wake up in a panic every time my back says "gently caress you", which is often.

My results for my testicular cancer are a bit muddled. I should have gotten a plan for further treatment but my blood test results don't correspond with expected results after the removel of my cancerous testicle. So 4 more weeks until another blood test. Either the blood test shows a better result or they have to check for more cancer, check my liver, maybe chemo or something else. I'm just so frustrated and angry right now. I thought I could at least be sure about the further cancer treatment but hey, no luck on that front. Just more waiting and hoping that everything is alright. And still no one to comfort me. I just feel so empty.

Hang in there brother, I'm rooting for you

Flogging Molly has been doing a lot of heavy lifting for me lately! Always despised them (pretentious lyrics, and for a long time I thought the singer's accent was terrible minstrelry rather than just his accent), but a couple of days after my dad left I heard If I Ever Leave This World Alive by accident and was so overcome with outrage at the sheer gall of that man's suggestion that the world really hasn't ended that I was able to get going again and function. I would rather that my dad still be alive and that I still didn't like Flogging Molly. But Flogging Molly has good songs about death and I recommend their death songs highly now if you want to think about the nature of death while being simultaneously entertained. :)

Was tipped about an apartment for rent that would be a massive upgrade for me space-wise, two bedrooms, not a spider infested dank cellar, a garden, cheaper, just an amazing opportunity I can not avail myself of because the county won't let me break my current lease with my slumlord who is "struggling" like we "all" are, according to the fucker i talked to

I take painkillers to deal with my hosed up back, the painkillers make me extremely constipated and due to poverty i cant afford laxatives so while my back may not make me want to kill myself my stomach does, I have spent the last six hours trying to poo poo more desperately than anyone ever

Nothing unusually bad happened today, but it dawned on me as Im waving goodbye to my son and watching his train roll out, that this is like the millionth time I have stood here in this situation for the last three years: broke, no job, will probably be evicted, in poor physical AND mental health. Time to start collecting empties again and hope I manage to scrounge up the money to see my kid next week too. Oh and also rent, electricity, food, all the luxuries. Holy gently caress I'm so tired.
