How would you feel if your relationship, friendships, family, and job all fell apart within a short span of each other?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I had this happen about 8 years ago. I kicked out of a perfect living situation for asinine reason, my girlfriend dumped me 2 months later and treated me like I was less human, a few weeks later I found out I had health condition and a week after that I found my job was in peril. I had to tolerate working with a complete pos of shit. If I quit I wouldn’t be able to pay rent. I was raised to pay my own bills and wouldn’t ask for money from anybody.

I tried to be tough and optimistic on the outside. However I lost 13th in one month and felt like a zombie. Every day felt like I was crawling through molasses.

I had people making lots of stupid comments to “cheer up” and “man up” who didn’t know shit about what I was going through. But as a man I know things would have gone from bad to worse if I was open about all my problems.

I got a lot of help through church and private counseling. In retrospect I think a few domestic violence charges would have been worth it considering how some people talked to me at the time.

I’d probably kill myself. I’m already falling in and out of not being emotionally okay and all that would push me over the edge for real 💀

It would feel really crappy and hard to get out of. Not that it’s the same exact thing, but I’m going through a similar situation right now. I’m ready to leave my job, I gave up on dating, and I put my friends in a bad situation, the other night. The only thing I can do is make sure I take care of my mental health and make things right by knowing my friends and family but also myself. Going to therapy soon, going to start applying for jobs soon, and will more on my actions.

All you can do is move on & better yourself instead of wallowing in self pity. Maybe you’re better off now for it !

there's always another job. I’ve been laid off and started over 3x since 2009 & I’m better off then I was in 2009.

Anemone978 · Answer

They all already did... I went through a big mental struggle, it seemed like a midlife crises.. but got myself sorted out after 6 months.. Things are still not right yet but I can now handle the pain and struggles.. most of the time, anyways..

TrillXHippy · Answer

I’m single and I haven’t been in many relationships so I wouldn’t feel anything. I don’t have any friends so losing friends wouldn’t bother me. If my family fell apart right now it is what it is and I wouldn’t care. It’s okay that I can work but my job is just a job. It wouldn’t bother me

Anonymous · Answer

Not possible. I'm not in a relationship and have never been in a relationship. I never worry about my friends because I know they always be right there when they need me. My family always has my back. We're very tight. I'm self employed. So there's little chance my job falls apart. And if it did then I'd just go back to being retired. No problem.

lilyanony1 · Answer

I'd be in a really shit situation if I lost my job as it gives me a sense of freedom. Away from the dog for peace. I also have a stable routine. I don't actually have friends so thats nothing new

DownInTheDumps · Answer

This all happened to me in a space of 9 months. If it weren't for my baby, I would have ended things.

iron_ninjs · Answer

I don't do well with change, if I'm not the one doing the change. So I'd probably be reserved, less social, maybe even a little depressed. Honestly, I don't know how long would it take me to go back on my feet.

Christoff92 · Answer

I'll jump of a cliff 🤗

Agape93 · Answer

Depends. Long as I have my best friend, I'll manage. If I lost him too, I'd blow my brains out. A building cannot stand once the foundation is destroyed.

MysticDevice · Answer

Oof. Wouldn't exactly be the first time but I still haven't had it that bad.

It would suck for sure. Something like that just makes you want to sit and wilt away. But out of spite youjust keep on goin.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I've been there, except for the family; that was already fractured. Wasn't a fan of the situation, but I grew a lot from it.

RobT312 · Answer

That would suck. May lead to a little depression. I’d need some downtime before restarting

AdithyaR · Answer

I'd probably find a nice tall cliff and try and see if I can fly.

SunnyRS · Answer

It would definitely suck and for a few days, I am not sure what I will do.  But after that I would just take a step back and try to think what went wrong?

nawtee_me · Answer

Your life is not falling apart, it is falling into place. You have to let go of the old in order to grab the new...

exitseven · Answer

I would try to decide how to make my new life as awesome as possible.

BrookeS · Answer

It happened to me but instead of letting it destroy me I came back harder and stronger

kellytheman · Answer

I guess I probably feel miserable and hopeless and be a test how one person can endure. I always say if you get know down you gonna get up again.

PointTaken · Answer

Fine I guess. Kind of did a few times already. Family has been there when relationships fell apart. In one sort of again.

Rudon00 · Answer

Gosh that is painful to think about. I will need to go into hiding and retreat until I can figure the mess out

justabuddy · Answer

Been their, done that, got the t shirt... it sucks. But always remember, tomorrow is another day and nothing bad ever last forever.
