Has life ever made you feel like you are a POS?

[Finchie40]

Lately I been feeling like there is no hope for myself anymore , I try and try to stay positive and try to look at the bright side of things , but sadly all I am experiencing is nothing but shit for the past year and a half now, I pray every day that things get better , but my prayers sadly are just a waste of time cuz nothing is being answered. Things that I grew up believing in , that carried me through life happily and contently and peacefully all turned to shit. After losing my Mom and My older brother last year , my life just continued to spiral downwards , and I am sadly losing hope all together , I don’t see any bright future ahead anymore because all I am experiencing is negative shit constantly. I have always been a hard worker and worked my ass off pretty much my whole life and sadly I just lost my job , that I really enjoyed a few months ago , because they decided to close down. They gave me a nice severance to buy me sometime , but sadly that is coming to an end because I can’t land a fucking job for whatever reason, I applied to over 200 jobs and having no luck what so ever , when I get a phone call I no longer get my hopes up because I am constantly denied and think why the fuck are you wasting my time if you aren’t going to hire me? Now I am faced with the possibility of having to sell my home that I worked my ass of for just to piss it all away. I can’t see myself going backwards , and it’s slowly killing me inside , I been so stressed out to the point I see no more happiness in this world like I use to , Part of me is ok to die because I feel like I am nothing but a POS

No. The trick is to not be so attached to your self worth that you aren't ready to condemn your own past results and stop engaging in the behavior that produced them. It is a bit of a paradox that greater self scrutiny results in greater self worth but not that much of one, when you think about it.

First piece of advice would be to shed religion altogether. Whatever it was intended to be at the onset, religion has become nothing more than a way to excuse bad behavior when "we" do it while also condemning good behavior when "they" do it. If you want to believe in a god, fine, but it is self harm to believe in a religion.

Do you consider yourself a Christian? If not you should consider it as God does not listen to the prayers of unbelievers.

John 9:31 declares, “We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will.” It has also been said that “the only prayer that God hears from a sinner is the prayer for salvation.” As a result, some believe that God does not hear and/or will never answer the prayers of an unbeliever. In context, though, John 9:31 is saying that God does not perform miracles through an unbeliever. First John 5:14-15 tells us that God answers prayers based on whether they are asked according to His will. This principle, perhaps, applies to unbelievers. If an unbeliever asks a prayer of God that is according to His will, nothing prevents God from answering such a prayer—according to His will.

My ex made me feel like a piece of shit you already know he abused me that’s how he made me feel

Therapy helped, even by phone by a professional. I also just learned coping mechanisms strategies to be cool and calm. And life got easier. it also got easier when i combined what my gut knew with what my head knew aka opportunities plus gut feelings and you know - sometimes I would not have found income paying jobs if it wasn't for that combination and plus - just wanting to have that drive :) 🙂 to keep on trucking - "After all, what else is there to do, just keep on trucking"
And I'm sure retirees must be bored to tears if they're not busy being well dementia ridden 🫡😋

If you watch Bourne Ultimatum 2007, I liked how they even had Jason say "it gets easier" to a character - you know, to just keep trucking along 🚛🚒🚛🚒

i always said to relax things may be bad but bad as you think look at me it's bad as can be but i have hopes

[Finchie40]

I been trying to relax and trying to focus on other things , but not knowing what my future holds or where I am going to end up hasn’t been easy for me , I have never experienced anything like this in my lifetime especially with having this much trouble trying to land a fucking job , I feel like what was the point of me even working all these years for? To be shit on and treated like shit? All I am getting is denial letters and playing the waiting game , all I do is apply and apply to get absolutely nothing. I feel I am so much weight sitting on my cheat to the point I am tapping out cuz what is even the point anymore

[chrissykerdock]

Life is tough, you must be tougher. When the darkness comes, let your inner light shine brighter.

In the end we all die, but the time before that is all we know we have. It is best to make the most of it while we still are in existence.

Never. It’s been one massive win for everyone but you,
