Kid,
you waltz in here, make one post, make a second post and explain to everyone how nobody here has it harder than you and how you're going to be offline because we all have boring problems. (Besides: This is a forum about entrepreneurship, did you read that?)
I'd make a bet that most of us have some horrible problems of one form or another at the moment. Want me to start?
- I don't live with two addicts, I live with four other addicts. While fighting my own addiction.
- My dad is dead, too. Drank himself to death, more or less. Everybody dies, sooner or later. Learn how to cope with that and do it better than I did.
- You punched through glass and cut yourself? Booooo-f'ing-hooo. Guess it was your own fault? Then own your mistake.
- My girlfriend is schizophrenic.
- My dog is currently very sick and is probably going to die.
- I can't start my business because the government doesn't process the necessary applications and hasn't done so for months.
- Can't see my friends because of shutdown.
- I have horrible migraines, currently on a daily basis.
Yes, sometimes that gets me down. And then I go to sleep and start over on another day. But actually, I'm quite happy. No, not "happy" happy. Calm and unattached. Some misery is actually a good thing if you want to live a fulfilled life. If I've learned one thing during really horrible periods of depression which drove me to try to commit suicide several times, it's that there is absolutely no point in dwelling on whatever is bothering you. Absolutely none at all. None. Zero. Nada.
And another thing you probably still have to learn is that everyone...ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE, no matter how happy they might seem or how perfect their life appears to be, is carrying their own baggage, just like you do. They probably just complain less than you do and don't have so much self-pity.
