To everyone claiming their life to suck: be glad you don't live in western Japan.
I hate this perspective. It tends to get used to tell people who's lives do suck that they have no right to feel like things could be better
That's one way to look at it, but not how I mean it. I personally feel very happy for not being Japanese right now.

Things could be better. I'm living comfortably, but I haven't made any plans to continue my education or really go out and live in the world. I keep thinking about it, but I feel it's going to take a really big push before I can change my life around.

Simple question, really. Are you happy with the current condition and situation of your life? If you aren't, why not?

I'm pretty happy with my life, it's been going better than it was. Things have improved with my girlfriend, I'm glad we were able to fix things instead of just breaking up.

Things are great right now. Today was especially good, seeing as my final project for university is finally working.

Definately not.
Nothing currently is going right in my life and I seriously think sometimes it would be better if I just ceased to exist instead.
If i have to go one more year without achieving my goal and getting fucked around by more medical professionals... I'm going to kill myself.

Don't you do that. Don't you f*cking do that. I cannot in good concious let a good person like yourself say something like that when your kindness and posts have made me smile whenever I see you on here.

Come on, the saying "darkest before the dawn" is true. Two days ago my final project was in the drain, the place I was trying to secure as a place to live in for the summer vanished and my computer died. I felt pretty shitty but now things are starting to work for me. Never stop, never surrender to that voice in your head. You can succeed.

Fuck My Life
This statement, along with your March Mayhem score, made me chuckle far harder than I should have.

I am sorry.

OT: I am quite pleased with my life, Escapist. Thank you very much.

great job mate good to see you are actually doing something unlike other people that just whine about not having a woman in their lives and therefore consider their life unlivable but eh whatcha gonna do

OP: things are actually pretty good i have enough cash to go to college and not have to pay back loans with enough left over for all the hot new game releases this year (it's gonna be one hell of a year let me tell ya) so far everythings good and as it should be.

Not in the least bit happy for almost any aspect of my life and current situation, which I don't want to go too deep into here. Sure, things could be worse, but that's a childish excuse. In fact, I'd rather be in a war, or fight for survival, having a clear objective and purpose and just as well die for it.

I'm doing absolutely nothing, without graduation, school, job, purpose, nor light in the future. Accompanied by depression and anxiety that stops me from doing most I'd like and even to go see a doctor. I can barely get out of bed.

Everything's brilliant.

I'm healthy, surfing The Escapist at work, have a wonderful girlfriend (soon to be fiance, fingers crossed), and it's Spring. Things are wonderful.

Well, let's see, at age 20, I have so far failed at getting a girlfriend, getting even a decent social life, losing my virginity, getting a job, and being recognised as something worth acknowledging as a human being.

There is only two things I have never failed at, and that is film and actually staying alive despite my so called "fellow" mans urge to end all that silly "breathing" thing.

At least I have one hope, then. If I make it in film, I could be rich, famous, I might even stand a chance of changing this crappy world. It's just that if I do fail at that, I have nothing ahead but going between my house and the jobcenter, over and over for the rest of my life, and quite frankly, I'd rather just end it if it cones to that, but I'm damned if after everything I survived, all of it alone, I ain't going down fighting.

I suppose i'm gonna have to go with thing's could be better, everything seems to be going wrong this week lol, first my computers waterpump died which in turn caused my overclocked cpu to overheat, then after borrowing a friends old aircooler (waiting for my pump to be refurbished or replaced) and rebuilding my rig to run on it, my power supply decided to go crackle, bang! bang!, crackle, sparks!, smoke and died =(.

So now i'm stuck with a computer thats limping on a borrowed 450watt psu from the same friend (thank god i have a friend who i built a computer for lol, spare parts) when it needs at least 750 really...will be limping till the 28th next month, being a software engineer student at university it's safe to say my computers my life so this is a bit of a disaster lol.

Other than that and flirting with an ex/best friend which is bringing back feelings (not something i'm sure i want tbh, i suppose my lifes ok even if £100 is coming out of my new car fund for a stupid psu ~.~ *email* oh at least my waterpump is being replaced free of charge (thanks SpecialTech).

Back to stressing out over what modules to take next year i'm thinkin forensics and programming lol.

Gotta say that things are pretty good. Not great, because I tend to stress myself out by overworking (Or lack thereof. >_>) and I worry about things in which I have no business to worry about. Also I'm doing my Philosophy A Level, and straying from the syllabus fucks with my head. One Dimensional Man by Marcuse. God-fucking-damn it, just when I thought I had my worldview straight. >_<

Things are pretty good, bordering on great.
I'm not depressed any more, so life seems awesome, I've got loads of good friends, and I seem to be on the verge of acquiring a girlfriend.
Though naturally the second I started dating this girl, my best friend decides to reveal she has feelings for me... Life would be less interesting if it weren't complicated!
I was in a similarish situation, though not quite so bad. Good luck with that, good sir. Good luck with that.

It could be better. Still single after 20 years, college is kinda annoying, and my job is ok but not making enough to move out yet...

Could be worse, could be a lot better. I suffer from a lack of motivation. Even if it's something I want to do. I need to fix that. I also have a hard time talking to people so I need to fix that, that's one problem I don't think I can fix though.

My life sucks right now. Mainly because highscool isn't what I thought it would be. It's kinda hard to deal with the knowledge that you haven't really learned anything from 12 years in school except social interaction and common knowledge.

Step 1: Date both of them at once.
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: Ménage à Trois

How you go about accomplishing this goal I leave up to you.

Things are going pretty well. I have a great job lined up after I finished grad school this May and things are well with me and my family. A girlfriend would be nice though.....
