So far, what was the worst year of your life?

[Jazzy54]

For me, it was 2017. Let’s just say I almost lost my life at the hands of a person who told me she had forgiven me. Needless to say, I was left traumatized and didn’t trust that person for a long time.

There was one year when I was trying to get through grad school and I was struggling with the coursework and was afraid I was going to get kicked out of the program. The company I was working for was going to go out of business soon and I would be unemployed. I had a wife and 3 kids to support and I could not imagine how things could get any worse. Then out of nowhere my father suddenly died. He was only 70 and I never thought of him as old.

I was getting ready to have exams when he died and did not know how I was going to do it all. I sort of channelled my father. I could hear him telling me to not be a pussy and put in the work and pass the damn tests.

Somehow it all worked out and I graduated.

Probably 2013. Financial difficulties, job issues (near constant rotation of new store managers, couldn't find a new job, etc.), cut off a friendship with a girl I could have dated, past demons came back, severe depression, grandmother died, and a host of other sufferings that I can't think of right now. It was an all around bad year.

When I was 20/21... alone, with two small kids, without any education (still during my studies) or occupation, no job, no money, no place to live.

As a lucky witch, I somehow survived, and "somehow" is a very good description :D

Stupid decisions make you bear consequences you didn't know could even exist :D

Tough one. I’ve lived blessings and miseries in every year. But even just after my divorce (this month) I’m bonding with my kids again, I’m not doing what they expected, abandoning their mother. I’ll still help out. I love my kids. So I’ll never abandon their mother. Just have a life separate from her. It’s been a roller coaster life. I have regrets. But I’ve been immensely blessed as well. So I’m just going to be thankful for what I am and what I have.

1999--almost lost my car to repossession. Drank too much of my paycheck. Got dumped (thankfully that was ok-happily married), lost my job.
Family and friends coming through and telling me bluntly what I was doing wrong was eventually the ticket To me getting my head back on straight.

The year I was born.

Who the fuck wants to stay low and endure a shitty life (starvation, abuse, forced relocation, being chronically sick, poverty) until one lives alone and makes their own money? I am 29 years old and only almost 2 years ago I got solid control over my life.

2021 might have been the worst I was playing video games everyday 20 hours a day with 5 hours of sleep then 20 hours of gaming again. I was (still am) very ill in the head I had no job, suicidal everyday, depressed. Man. What a dark time. I had severe bouts of apathy and anhedonia, I kept playing the game because that was the only thing that gave me the most miniscule amount of dopamine. Fuuuuuck man. Bad year for real.

[BobbieBoy666]

For me it's this year since April hit. 🙁

I lost my dad and younger sister this year 11 days from each other. My car has been in the body shop three times this year. and I was injured while on the people mover at Atlanta airport and the T. S. A. agents search me because I was handicap with CP on my right side. 🙁

2017. I have had worse moments happen in other years, but eventually that shitty period would end and the rest of the year would be fine. However, 2017 was consistently bad throughout the entire year with not many highlights.

[Likes2drive]

Probably 2016 to 2017 where I got divorced and lost the house at the same time and she didn’t get the house either Because we had to short sell it

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I'd say it was 2013 for me (high school year)

[renodnol32]
