Is your life going pretty well? Have you gotten into a nice new relationship and you want to gush? Maybe you just landed a sick gig which is going to give you tons of cash to do fun stuff and you want to tell the world about it?

Or... I dunno, maybe you just need to vent. Feel like you got rainy clouds over you at all times? Or maybe you're going through something serious and you could really use the support... we're all here for that.

I want to hear all of y'alls stories and if you got something good and bad, bear in mind we're all together in this.

The day after tomorrow I'm flying from the states to Copenhagen for a semester abroad, so I am quite excited, although a little jittery

Currently I feel like shit. Helped a friend move yesterday and now I have a fever of 102, can barely move, and can't fall asleep, all alongside my entire body feeling sore as hell.

On the bright side, I'm hopefully moving in with a couple new roommates on Sunday.

I'm doing alright. I don't make a lot of money but I'm a recent college grad using my degree in a city I love, so it could be worse.

Could be better, but I'm slightly okay with it. Too much baggage from my younger years hold me back.

I'm going to a pretty reputable University in one of the best cities in the US and the world, I have a car, job and a family that supports me.

On that front, I'm doing well, but I just have to find people that are worthwhile being around, that's the hardest part.

OCD is a bitch, but hey, at least I'm not dodging bullets and seeing dead bodies on the streets anymore, or like many people of my age are.

Hahaha why not!

My GF just moved with me, it's been two years we've been together and finally made the move. It was a bit stressful at first because my condo isn't big enough for all our furnitures so we had to sell a couple of things on each of our sides. Now everything is in place and fits just right. Soon we'll be checking for a house to be happy in. :)

Last week was my 7th year at my job, I guess I can start to call it a career at this point. I'd say I'm happy with my life so far.

Life is going pretty well, in a relationship, enough money to get by, pursuing goals,pretty healthy

I just wish I was doing more cool shit like traveling, and I'm still trying to make some more friends, but I will get there eventually

Don't really understand how a lot of my peers are travelling across the world, guess they have more money than me lol

E: I really want to find my "tribe". I'm worried if I don't find it in my 20s I never will

E: also wish I could develop my self discipline to get in better shape

Will be married 5 years in October. Got a good job, able to pay my bills and put a good bit back in savings each check and generally live the life I want with few worries. I'm simple, so I have all I need. Never been cursed with ambition or jealousy, which I consider a blessing. I did lose my best friend this year, so that's been tough, but life goes on.

Four hour a day commute is starting to break me. Been doing it for ten years. Now I'm married with a toddler and it's really getting to me.

That's my only issue. Everything else is dope. Great wife, job, kid, car, condo. Bills are paid. Doing what I gotta do.

Pretty good. Need to get my health in check but otherwise good.

On the other hand, the state of the United States has me on high anxiety. The traitorous, pompous, racist, orange shit must go.

That is tough. I knew a guy who lived on a peninsula down here (south Texas), and he had to take a ferry to the mainland every day which could take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, then he had another half-hour commute once he disembarked. He did it for a year or two, but burnt out really quickly.

I've been taking swimming lessons and have been making good progress with that, so it's making me feel pretty good. Also starting an EMT program next week so that should be an interesting challenge. And planning a fun trip to Australia so that's got me excited.

Pretty anxious and unsure about things. Also growing impatient with where I am in life, not just compared to my peers but compared to where I thought I'd be years ago by now.

On the flipside, still got no major health problems and have good family and friends.

Shit's not too cute right now. I need to stop spending so much money on eating out and learn to cook more.

Two hours each way on the express train. Four hours a day in total. Sucks. Especially last year when I get a call my kid is in the emergency room and reception sucks and I'm just sitting on the train can't do shit. Just gotta wait.

The thing that stresses me the most right now is that there are so many things to do and enjoy and so little time. I wish I had a hyperbolic time chamber. So life is good right now, but it feels like a cock tease. I can't juggle all the hobbies I want to do and spend time with all the people I want to visit

Have you put much effort into it?

I discovered I had a knack for just coming up with shit by taking the Frankenstein route and just throwing shit together I thought would taste good. Last week I made a bacon apple chicken skillet that was fucking incredible. I'd cook more if I didn't get home so late from work and the cleanup process was a little quicker.

I guess you can call it a grind?

Paying my dues now to benefit later (losing weight, getting
very
small acting gigs, volunteering at a somewhat famous local public radio station, Ubering for cash).

Same as the past few months, I'm 20, not depressed anymore and slowly have parts of my past person reemerging and my emotions becoming more vibrant in certain ways/feeling geniunine about certain things.

But as I thought it wouldn't then, getting over my depression doesn't erase the years I spent being a recluse post 10th grade and all of the socializing/ skills I've lost as a result and the years of my life I lost to experience things, even though I had a vibrant life/personality/friends groip and was talkative prior to then, and I don't know how to get any of that back or what to do with anything.

I also have certain opinions on philosophy/empathy that I don't believe are conducive with conversation amongst certain circles, that I also don't want to spread/would rather not belive in (and not in an /r/iamverysmart way, basic things that I've just read and agree with), which makes it very hard for current me to connect with people on certain topics/in general and in turn makes me unhappy to keep my mouth shut on my beliefs because at one point I was very outspoken on them.

On the upside I've started drinking tea which is great, gonna order some green tea sachets from Harney and Sons if Wal-Mart doesnt have them tomorrow.

Edit:
Relationship with my Great Grandmother (who's also my adoptive mother) feels dead.

Also I want to start exercising again and get my old body back (I'm not fat, very skinny, but I want to get toned like when I played sports).

Also want a girlfriend.

It's great. It's fine. Nothing's honestly changed. Still the elite class. If i didn't have any empathy whatsoever, I'd be smiling ear to ear.

Awful garbage.

My life continues to fall apart and my health worsens.

My new therapist and psych are useless, and it's forced me to look elsewhere for better care. Losing the best therapist I've had in my life and probably my best psych, fucking sucks.

My dad continues to threaten me with eviction and violence, because he is disgraced at having a liberal for a son, and even though he says he accepts my bisexuality he probably doesn't and it is probably killing him inside since he believes that being gay/bi/trans is a mental disease and or fad. Yes, he is a borderline neonazi, actually fuck that he just is, since he looks at Trump even after people can no longer say "give the nazi a chance" without they themselves either being okay with everything he stands for or apathetic. I've already caught him partially denying the holocaust which is mindblowingly terrible given the sheer fact of what my Grandfather had to endure during World War 2, trying, imprisoning, and killing literal nazis and helping Holocaust victims.

My mother has been fighting against him, mostly because she doesn't even recognize him anymore and probably loves me more than him at least on some level.

So yeah fucked up family stuff, oh and pretty much having no money for anything, including food.

My book hasn't sold well at all, which doesn't surprise me. I've been so depressed I've barely worked on my next one.. which I hope to have out later this year... but that might not happen.

Nuclear war and a possible world war on the horizon, The interesting thing is if one cancels the other out or we get both.

So yeah things are pretty shit.

Honestly, I'd probably be happy if the world ended.

I'm having a hard time figuring it out, still, but I'm very young. At least compared to the rest of GAF, it seems. I probably have a ton of great oppurtunities in the real future. It does feel like I can do anything, just the problem that I usually face is doing the work to get there.

My life is stagnation.

It's comfortable, sure. Thanks to my father's compassion/generosity I can live with fewer worries than other adults in my age group. But I'm financially crippled thanks to student loans, and working a job I'm finding increasingly difficult to stomach.

Got a lot of thinking and changing to do so I can finally start moving forward. I'm tired of feeling "trapped".

This paper is destroying me and I'm nervous about being able to graduate in December.

Other than that I'm mostly fine. A little concerned about the lack of friends, but it can't be helped given I am pretty hardline on my stances (and I have a very unconventional mix).

I hate life.
It's been a disappointment in every way.
Thankfully I'm dying so I only have to endure a little bit longer.

School starting up next week and I'm not anxious about it.

Not sure if I am confident or just don't care enough.

I am actually feeling pretty optimistic for a change. Things are lining up. Personal relationships seem happy and stable. Just good stuff for once.

Some days I just try to control my breathing and remind myself there are still reasons to live. I tell myself that, but I'm not sure I really believe it. Everything has gone to shit so fast.
