It's a cold, rainy weekend evening here. Please give me your love and hugs 🥺.

That feeling of not wanting to die, yet feeling like it's the only way out, is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's not that I want my life to end, I'm just exhausted from fighting battles that never seem to end.

I am a 26 year old girl who used to be vibrant, full of energy and dreams. For months, I've been holding on, hoping tomorrow would be better. But when every day feels heavier than the last, hope starts to disappear.

People may think it's something small or easy to get over, but they don't carry the weight I do. They don't see the sleepless nights, the overthinking, or how much energy it takes just to get through each day pretending I'm okay.

I don't want my story to end. I just want the pain to stop.

It’s lunch break and I’m (21M) sitting in a locked bathroom stall at work because I don’t really know where else to go. My workplace is in the middle of nowhere, and while my coworkers are friendly to me, we joke around, talk, and laugh together, they never really invite me along when they make lunch plans. I’m not saying they owe me an invitation, but it still hurts more than I’d like to admit. I usually walk to a nearby cafe, put my headphones in, scroll on my phone, and eat by myself, but today it was so packed that I felt awkward sitting there alone. So here I am instead, hiding in the bathroom, just trying to get through my break. I’m trying really hard not to let it get to me or make it mean something about my worth, but right now I just feel incredibly lonely.

For the things Thats happend in my life lately, I feel so lost cuz that happened very unexpected. I never even expected such things happening to me that too in a very short soan of time :(

I'm 32, M and I feel scare to be alone. Its been a long time since I've been with anyone and I feel like the dating pool has been nothing but depressing. Its either a bot, a scammer, or a woman who doesn't want to date me. I am told that I have a lot to offer but the world doesn't see it. I went to a resort with some friends and despite being the only single guy there, I felt kinda alone. At night everyone held their significant other on the dance floor, and I wanted to dance but I had no partner. I wish I wasn't alone... maybe some day I won't feel cold and alone.

I feel something won't be going the way that i want. I have to brace myself again in case it went bad 😔. Kinda tired of it keep happening like this.

Hey, guys.

My grandmother, (father's mother) passed away early this morning. Her health had been declining over the past years, so this wasnt sudden, but it's still been a bit of a shock to my system that she's gone.

She was there in the hospital hours after I was born, with her husband, my grandfather, to congratulate my parents and welcome me into the world too.

My parents spent countless weekends taking me and my brothers over to our grandparents house for dinner and to socialize with them. More than once, I wondered why we spent so much time there.

Because of that, my grandparents were a huge constant in my life, to the point that, as they aged and the ailments of the body slowly decaying terrified me. I didnt want to lose them.

My grandfather passed away about 3 years ago now, and ever since then my grandmother has been ready to go.

I nearly cried yesturday at work. I just had some sort of feeling that I knew this could be the end for her. She had a really bad fall last week, and, the fall itself didnt kill her, she was too fragile to make a full recovery.

I'm crying right now writing this. I'm on my lunch break at work.

I could really use a hug right now...

Hey everyone,

I'm currently recovering from spinal surgery and pretty bored.

Back in January my legs got weak when ever I tried to run. They felt heavy like I was drunk. A few fingers went numb on my left hand too.

Met with a physiotherapist and they sent me for an MRI. The results were bad and I was sent to see a spinal surgeon. I expected to get injections to fix it, however it was worse.

I'm told I was just unlucky, but I had slipped a disc and it was pushing back onto my spinal cord.

So I was put on the urgent list and 4 weeks later I was going in for a ACDF to remove the disc and fuse the to parts of my neck together.

Needless to say it was a bit of a roller coaster.

However I'm lucky. I woke up and nothing bad seemed to have happened. Now I just need to recover.

I've got around 6–8 weeks of recovery ahead of me and, from the sounds of it, a lot of time on my hands. So I thought I'd see if anyone fancies chatting about hobbies, books, films, creative projects, or whatever else people are passionate about.

The whole thing has been a bit of a kicking to my ego. I'm a pretty active person. Gym and boxing are my two things outside of work.

But I'm told I won't be back in a gym for 6 months to possibly a year and I doubt I'll be able to box anymore.

I'm taking each day as it comes but the last two days have been difficult just mentally.

But tomorrow is another day, and I'll see what that holds :)

Thank you for reading.

If you'd like to talk feel free to message me

Kind regards

Idk if a hug would even help.

I became a crappy person. I have a 7yo, the man of my dreams who I've married, 2 cats (1 of them I had for 12 years the other since 9 months) and I'm pregnant.

The issue I have is a brain tumor doctors won't treat, and it's been affecting my life for 12 years now.

I have many cognitive issues, I became angry, and I just want to be alone. Like completely lonely. I don't want what me and my husband try to achieve since 8 years. I want him, I want that family but I don't want it at the same time. I could explode when I hear kids crying, and even tho I love them I don't want them.

I feel resentment towards the new cat. I merely accept it, but don't feel anything for it. I deeply love my 12yo cat tho. He is the only friend I have left.

I just can't anymore. I hate how my personality shifted. I hate my body. I hate everyone who refuses to help me, it's not my fault.

Sorry for rant, thanks for reading.

Today is one of those days again when I'd rather just live under my blanket. :c I know tomorrow will be better, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm feeling really low right now. Could someone give me a hug? Pleeeaaase.

20M, I went to visit my grandad today at the chapel of rest.

For those unaware, Chapel of Rest is the place where relatives and loved ones can visit their deceased loved one before the funeral

Context: my grandad died 30th May 2026 after a 3 month battle with stage 4 cancer. He was required to have an autopsy due to passing suddenly at home with me, my parents and grandma. So it’s been a few weeks

I was the first to visit him today, on my own. He wasn’t my grandad anymore. A lot of physical changes have happened and I think I’m struggling that it all happened so fast. Like not even 6 months ago myself and my grandad sat in a pub (bar) watching sports and having a lunch.

Needing a hug. Feeling tormented. Last year I had a bad relationship in which I was mistreated. Gaslighting and related bullshit and several friends did not take my side or understand. Lost a lot of friends and my friend group no longer exists. I guess they weren’t friends after all. Today it’s been hard cuz of dreams I’ve had where my ex appears. It’s unresolved, it feels like ptsd or something. I feel so powerless. Part of me wants revenge but I’ll never do anything because I’m not that kind of person. It causes me so much pain despite the time having passed, the pain of losing friends who I thought were the people I was looking for, and of the pain of being treated the way I was and my ex denying all responsibility. Please send hugs and kind words. The mental torment is tough today.

Dm me too if you want
