Hello, everyone I'm not sure where to post this but I really want an opinion on it. I like to believe that kindness is always rewarded. So whenever I do something kind for others It makes me a little upset that they don't show kindness back but I never let it get to me because I did it out of my own heart.

My father was a very kind and generous man, he sacrificed everything for his family and his brothers although they stabbed him in the back afterwards... But because of all the kindness he spread around by helping others even though they were strangers to him he became very respectable in our community and as his child I was treated very well because of that. I always looked up to my father and wait to return his kindness. That's why I followed his steps on always doing kindness despite not getting things in return.

Then Sunday my manager and a few coworkers pulled me aside and gave me flowers and an envelope with a card and a 50 dollar gift card inside which made me super emotional in a happy way because no one had done that for me before and it felt so special. And after my shift my manager bought the cake I wanted for me. Then the associate I got the phone from said that the very next day after I purchased my phone a customer came in, bought a new phone and gave them the old one randomly which he used to trade for mine so I didn't have to pay anything anymore and it was free. Not only that but my best friend's mom bought me birthday decorations which I hadn't even bought to save money (even though I was a bit envious my friend's had them for their birthday because I didn't have any on any of my birthdays).

I believe whenever you do something kind it will always be repaid back. Maybe not immediately or later but one day it always will.

I have nowhere and no one I can turn to. I am forced to live in a hostile country under inhumane conditions. Can't rely on any institutions or help because of that. I don't have safety or security. I never had a life, a childhood, young adulthood. None of my needs met. No safeguarding. Now my long distance partner of two years who made me feel loved, seen, and understood is gone. I literally can't do this alone. Nobody believes me.

​

It doesn't matter if it is something trivial or heavy, whether you wanna share your favorite song or tell about what's been bothering you, I'm here. You can reach out!

Bored, painting a bedroom. Chats are welcome

i really just need to get everything off my chest and i wanna talk with someone who’s pretty understanding and not judgmental. also maybe hoping to get diff perspectives and stuff

I feel like there is literally nowhere to turn. Just had a post removed for being suicidal, too heavy, "asking to be saved". If I'm not supposed to ask for help, what am I supposed to do? Please help.

Helllo everyone, hit me up if anyone wants to chat about literally anything, rant or vent about anything, feel free to do so, no judgement.

I like being around someone who is fun to talk to and someone who is lil clingy, and likes to disturb

I don’t mind talking about anything, yapping, venting, confession or whatever.

I’m a techie guy working in IT, I’m 27 if that matters

No restriction on age

I’m tired, exhausted and bored, could use some company, talk and feel better.

i wrote this on my FB for context im a disability advocate in my community and am in a wheelchair.

my birthdays are almost always a sore spot due to a LONG history of trauma

I even took my birthday money and bought something for my wife instead. I tried to find something for me but everytime I went into a store, i left and actually went to the local mall foodcourt and quietly cried.

I’ve spent hours crying in the middle of the night for the last few days.

I am desperately trying to be functional but even simple tasks are hard. i’m a front and public facing job and its getting increasingly harder to hold myself together.

i’m also bipolar so there’s that but anyway….

I think I’ve figured out, at least partially, why I’m so sad today.

I don’t see possibility much anymore.

It’s hard to accept that I don’t see wonder in my future the way I once did.

I endure. I adapt. I fight. And too often, survival itself is the reward.

I’ve spoken with my therapist, and something that came out of that conversation has stayed with me:

“You deserve more than a life you can withstand. You deserve a life you sometimes cannot wait to experience.”

That hit harder than I expected.

Will expressing any of this change things?

Likely not.

Tomorrow, I’ll get up and go back to doing what I do. I’ll adapt, endure, and keep fighting for the things I believe matter.

But today, (yesterday)on my 45th birthday, I find myself mourning the sense of wonder and possibility I once had.

I fight for a better tomorrow for everyone. I believe in that fight, and I always will.

I just wish I could still see that better tomorrow for myself.

Maybe someday I will.

For now, I keep going.

Not because the fight is easy, or because the sacrifices don’t hurt, but because I still believe the world can be better than it is.

I just wish, every once in a while, I could feel like I belonged in that better world, too.

I (f24) feel so stupid for posting but honestly I just feel like giving up lately and I have nobody to talk to. My girlfriend of 4 years left me and is already moved on (with a man after she pleaded she’s a lesbian). My 2 “best friends” of 10 years have completely cut me off and I have no idea why.

I feel like a literal piece of garbage. I hate being home but I hate being out. Im overthinking everything over the past few years and trying to figure out what I did that was so wrong for everyone to leave. The moment I wake up I panic, I cry all day and therapy doesn’t help.

We got a dog together that I kept and she hasn’t even asked about her. The guilt that comes with this part specifically is insane.

I must be the worst person in the world because nobody deserves this type of pain. I’m struggling so much I’m exhausted, every night I beg that I don’t wake up the next day.

I don’t even know what the point of doing this is but here I am I guess.

Found out by talking to one of my friends that I was being abused in my relationship and ever since I’ve been so upset and not being able to sleep and binge eating

Hey I need someone to talk to anyone available?

I’m feeling a little alone in my addiction and don’t have many people to talk to who I feel understand. Is anyone around who is just interested in some casual chat right now?

I been triggered by a TV series I was watching, then I argued with my boyfriend, and my parents were later screaming each other very badly...

I am sleepy, and I am afraid to fall asleep because I always have nightmares...

Please post some comfort messages here (not in DM, please).

I don't know what's happening in my life anymore. I feel lost and confused. I don't know what to do or whom to talk to. I just wanted to share how I'm feeling and know if anyone else has ever felt this way.

I'm offering to write a thoughtful, personal letter to anyone who's feeling stuck, comparing themselves to others, or quietly exhausted from trying to keep up. Comment or send me a chat with what's been weighing on you (as much or as little as you want, a throwaway is fine). I'll read it carefully and write back a letter that's just for you, usually within a day. No advice-dumping, no labels, no judgment, and it's free. I'm not a therapist and this isn't therapy, just one person really listening. If you're in danger right now, please reach out to someone near you or a local crisis line first. (English or Chinese both welcome.)

I’m getting worked up. If this isn’t allowed here, please let me know and redirect me, if possible.

I’m back and forth between stress about an essay rough draft that’s due tonight for my college composition class, and nerve-wracked by midterm politics in my state, which is actually what I’m writing about for my essay.

I wanted to get this done tonight, but not only was I anxious of my time limit, but also emotionally worked up with my chosen topic. My professor has been really understanding with me, thankfully, so I’m not worried about their reaction to a missing rough draft. But I’m frustrated with myself. My schedule, my energy levels, I’m losing confidence in this week. And I’m scared of midterm results that are largely out of my own individual control.

I need to calm down. I’d appreciate someone lending me a shoulder for that.

(Please just.. comment here bc I dont do well with dms 😕)

Im 19f I'm jn therapy but I've been going through shit. Obsessive spirals, anxiety, loneliness and whatnot. Also developmental trauma from emotionally immature parents.

I thought I was doing a good job and yet today I broke down. The worst part is that my period is coming up and I HATE blaming things on my hormones, bc then it means they don't matter, and that I just had a pointless breakdown because I'm abt to start bleeding? That's dehumanizing

I was having dinner and I was supposed to put olive oil on my bread, but I spilled a bunch of it on the tablecloth. Technically no one was overreacting at that moment, but the mistakes i make usually make my parents roll their eyes or sigh and ask how I even ended up doing that.

A few seconds went by and I tried keeping it together. But then I just stood up and decided to go cry in my room. JUST because I'd spilled oil on the table.. not to mention, if it had been water, I would've been fine. What do I do with myself? This is ridiculous

My eyes burn from crying. This triggered another obsessive spiral and now I feel like I just don't want to be alive anymore. Why am I even trying? I hope I dont make it to 20 if this is how I'm going to feel forever. Especially because as I try to fix myself with therapy, I will have no one to count on because I'm lonely

Objectively i think life is pointless and humiliating. But at the same time maybe that's a slightly ego-dystonic thought even for me. See, here's proof that I'm fucking insane and that even my brain isn't reliable

Context:

I'm a 3rd year engineering undergrad, from a tier 1 college

Grades - till now, decent, but this semester is going too shityyy

So what has happened now is that I've started daydreaming a lot, I don't know from this feeling that I'm "doing good too good in life" came, and I've started to feel "I'll do something big" and I'm somewhat too "great" and everythings gonna eventually work out in favour of me(lol), but yeah, ig it came from all that "motivational porn" on insta.

So the problem is that my whole days are just gone away in this, I'm not really not doing anything productive- I really wanna do, but I don't know why I'm not doing

I really wanna do something actually good and earn and be successful, but I'm just wasting away my life daydreaming, how do I actually save this time.

So how do I really get out of this loop, how do I actually get reality check on my life, and how do I actually start doing anything in life.

Pls help me out.

femboy looking for someone fem to sleep call with, you don’t need to stay all night I just feel extremely anxious and I’d rather have someone fem with me, thankyou

I am alone at the hospital and recently I spent my birthday alone.

I just want to talk to someone.

I used to have this person, who was a girl, and she was very important to me. We would message everyday, whenever we could and we were each other’s emotional support without realizing it. Someone who is always there and you can share anything with. If anyone understands and feels the same way, please DM me.

If anyone needs someone to talk to and don’t have anyone, I’ll chat with you. 30M

Discord = neo_phyxius

recently had an argument with one of the closest people i've ever had in my life, we're not talking anymore, it's been a few weeks, i'm 100% sure it's actually over between us, can't get over it, i'm physically ill from it. i didn't have any goals before this relationship, i went back to ground 0 when it ended, i feel like i'm making the situation worse than it actually is, i'm searching for someone willing to hear how the story went and give me an honest opinion and maybe some advice
