Your issue whether you realize it or not is you are allowing your happiness to depend on outside forces you have little if any control over. The "ONLY person" in the equation is staring back at you from the mirror.

The worst are the Sunday Scaries! Life is pretty shitty right now for everybody We are losing our country right before our eyes. Everybody is weird as frick. Everybody is so sensitive these days. Movies suck these days: tv shows suck these days. Music sucks these days.. Nightlife sucks these days.. Every celebrity you thought you liked is now either a pedophile or a total woke piece of shite that hates all of us… the internet fricking sucks.. Social media fricking sucks… service sucks everywhere.. your favorite brick and mortar shops are closing down left and right… malls are dead… everything is expensive as frick. Nobody laughs or has humor anymore. Everybody’s face is buried in their phones all day.. Standup comedy fricking sucks. Everybody begs for tips everywhere you go… service sucks everywhere… Our country is getting invaded by who knows what. Google just destroyed the livelihoods of millions of online small businesses with their recent algorithms- they now only care about supporting multi million/billion dollar companies… Everybody has to walk on eggshells 24 hours/day worried about offending someone… Yea, life is pretty shitty these days. Something has to change and the ONLY person who can / will change this fricking nonsense - half the people on this website hate and would rather keep doing this same shite over and over for the next 4 years. It’s all bizarre. I’m fricking bitter because the one thing I truly enjoy is watching a Braves game and Comcast fricked that up for me today because of greed. Yea, life is pretty shitty these days

Quit drinking.

Workout often.

Do things (anything but drink) in some sort of social circle.

Come back in 90 days and tell us how things are going.

Life is good if you choose gratitude and be thankful for your blessings, but so much of what you said about American society today is sadly true.

I feel that way too sometimes... but I think the key is to quit judging yourself against what you see on TV, etc.

My parents both grew up on a farm (even though both my grandparents had jobs, they had to farm to make ends meet). Neither having an indoor bathroom until they were in 4th grade or so.

They both had to come home from school and help pick cotton or work the fields. Get up before school and pick veggies. Etc.

Neither of them ever really had vacations at al growing up.

I look at my life and sometimes feel its a grind and sucks... then I just think how awesome it is compared to theirs and their parents.

Work, produce, consume. Repeat. It’s what we do.

Right there with you man. 450 hours of PTO and too busy to take it. Burnout is a real thing. Sometimes i think about the struggles of the early pioneers but wonder if that life was so bad?

Same here since October 1, 1984.

It's been a slice.

Life is pain. Plain and simple, it is pain. "Happiness" is the moments when we find ways to hide from pain. Good food, great sex, a child's birthday, national championships, a hilarious film... None of these fix problems. None of them make the bad go away. They are all just band-aids.
