Life, feeling so overwhelmed
The story
Have been feeling so overwhelmed, been feeling like life is a curse. I keep seeing my relatives be absolute pieces of shit, my parents going through the worst of things. On top of that I keep feeling like I am the one who is at fault for drifting apart from my childhood toxic friend, as I keep missing her, wishing that I didn’t do that, that I should have endured it.
God keeps making us go through these numerous horrible tests. It hurts me when I see my family, who has always tried to help others, getting betrayed and hurt by those same exact people. It hurts when I see people that I loved so dearly passing away. It hurts when I see that I never receive anything good despite trying my hardest and giving my all.
Life is a curse. I'm so tired of seeing me and my family continuously go through bad things. I hope one day my family will be happy again but I don’t think days like that will come ever again.

Wow, I totally get where you're coming from. 😢 I mean, it's like life can really be a drag sometimes, and it feels like no matter how hard you try, things just don't get better.
Like, I remember when my family was going through this really rough patch, and no matter what we did, it felt like we could never catch a break — it was just one thing after another, you know? 😔
I can really resonate with the feeling that life is just throwing all these not-so-fun surprises at us, and it feels totally unfair, especially when you've been nothing but nice to everyone around you. 😟
Sometimes it really does feel like there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's hard to stay positive when everything just feels so heavy.
I hope there's a silver lining hiding somewhere for all of us though. 🌈
Thank you for this, I also hope there is a silver lining for all of us.
i totally see what you're saying, life can feel like a brutal series of stress tests sometimes; it really resonates when you talk about it being a curse. the situation with your family sounds incredibly challenging, and it's tough when you see good people getting the short end of the stick. dealing with toxic relationships can be part of the negative feedback loop, and it's natural to miss what was once familiar. hoping things turn around for you and your family.
Honestly, I don't agree with your take at all. Saying life is a curse is like throwing in the towel way too soon; everyone deals with crap, it's part of the gig. Maybe your relatives are pieces of work, but letting them get to you is just giving them power they don't deserve. Drifting apart from a toxic friend isn't something to be sad about, it's a win, really. Life's not all sunshine and roses, I'll give you that, but saying there's nothing good ever is just being dramatic. Try to find those small wins and hang onto them 🌟. If you keep finding negatives in everything, that's all you’ll see, plain and simple.
