One thing I am feeling sad about today is....
How many terrible listeners are on this site! It used to be a quality site - now there are just too many who give bad advice, dont pay attention, or are just plain rude. I also dislike that the site doesnt make it easier to report them and disqualify them. I used to love this site but now its just a dark place of discouragement.
@tranquilSnowflakes I just started today. What should I be looking for?
@Pokemonsz As a listener or a member? I think either way, there needs to be ground rules of basic respect! I expect listeners to care (or act like they care) about difficult situations, to acknowledge that reaching out on an anonymous website probably means the member has already tried all their feasible options, and to be professional (none of this, Imma nurse and I have a headache from listening to you so now I g2g excuses!)
Good luck <3 :)
@tranquilSnowflakes I'm a member. I'll look out for those signs. Thank you!

@Laura my lack of mobility due to my disability
@Laura I feel sad about how interactions with other people go. I feel sad to be excluded and ignored. I feel sad to be misunderstood
@plumFig3360 Im sorry to hear that <3 Especially breaks my heart when the people who dont understand or hear people out are listeners on this site!!
@plumFig3360
I can relate
One thing that makes me sad is when I get my hopes up and it all goes wrong
I feel sad, when i don't have the energy to look after myself. I wish I could spend some time just focusing on me.
The disintegration of my relationship with my daughter. I believe her to be a sociopath and for my own safety I have determined to only meet her in a therapist's office and nowhere else - - though is she is truly a sociopath therapy may not be very effective. At any rate, the whole thing has me very sad, especially since it has caused me to be alone for the holidays for the first time in my 56 years on the planet.
I don
I saw my ex yesterday and today I feel sad because I can't stop thinking about her.
I caught my boyfriend of 8 months telling his ex girlfriend he loved her, 2 months ago. The last message he sent her was a week ago. Telling her that they cannot talk anymore. That he isn't going to be tempted by her anymore, and he's not going to ruin risking the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Then i went through his phone and found him flirting with four other girls. Five total. All two months ago.
He did not sleep with any of them. Just flirting. And hitting on them.
I stayed. And I don't know if it was a good idea or not. My brain is all but fried at this point and I have no sense of anything. I know I love him. But I don't know if I can regain that trust again.
@Psychism. If you caught him with 5 girls, even though it may have been only through text messages, you should get out of the relationship. It was only 8 months, but he's only been faithful for 6 months, if that. Your head is telling you that it's time to go. If he truly loves you he wouldn't have had girlfriends on the side. If he's determined to tell you how much he cares about you, I would talk in a public place and don't meet him by yourself. Let him know you know about him and can't trust him anymore. If you're going to end things with him, I wouldn't go alone. That way you can say what you need to say and won't get sucked into his BS
@Laura
my bday is on wednesday and im always sad around my bday. i just dont like it because people feel like they are obligated to get me a present when secretly they hate me. and i am super depressed and i have a lot of guilt over the fact that i disconnected with someone that meant a lot to me because of my anxiety. i really really miss them...
i am trying to focus on the positive but nothing is working out :/
