We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

As the year wraps up, share some of the challenges you faced and how you're dealing/you've dealt with it.

Killed can be interpreted as either metaphorical or literal.

I lost my friends and my partner. I'm pretty alone, still have cancer, and pretty much just wish something would just fucking kill me overnight.

That sounds tough. Hope the view on the horizon is a little brighter than your current situation.

Not especially, but kind words and thoughts are always appreciated, nonetheless.

I'll go first. I had a heart attack a few months ago. Thankfully, i was at home, and my dad is a doctor, so he maintained the situation before i could get to a hospital.

You had a rough time then. Glad to see that it was addressed quickly.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it was pretty rough. Never understood the phrase "life flashing before my eyes" until then haha

I learned that I’m a diabetic the hard way (went into diabetic ketoacidosis and spent several days in the ICU). This happened while I was thousands of miles from home and was not a pleasant experience. Thankfully things are pretty well controlled now that I’m on insulin.

Taking it metaphorically the whole course of my life currently is killing me softly. I've got very little to complain about my life but I am just completely lost where I am even going and it is dragging me into depression. I'm getting help from both my employer and by my own looking for it but it'll take time. Working through issues is hard though.

I wish you all the strength with your heart issues and hope it never rears its head again!

Someone on the highway crossed 4 lanes of traffic very suddenly and almost took me out.

And also the self restraint I've been practicing to not fight my coworker is cutting my life in half.

I'll fight your coworker for you.

Bonespurs getting elected again, and I haven't overcome it yet.
