Are you as happy at this time of year as you were at this time last year?

[sage2021]

Last December I was very happy! 😊 Trump had won the presidential election the month before and in one month he was going to be back in office once again. His campaigns that I had been watching for months got me really excited that things were going to be great compared to the last 4 years of Biden's insanity.
Christmas was coming and I had sent out 25 Christmas cards and decorated my apartment for the holiday. I definitely had the Christmas
spirit.🎁 ⛄ 🎄 Things were hopeful for once.
Sadly, this year is totally the opposite from last year. The new year brought a lot of stress in my life. My caregiver that worked for me since the COVID days had stolen almost all of my belongings from me. Over $1800+ dollars worth of brand new things I had to buy to get ready to move into my new apartment.
On moving day is when she stole my belongings, and I found out that she had been stealing from me all year long.

I bought Christmas cards again this year but I just don't have the Christmas spirit at all. I don't even think I am going to send out my Christmas cards to anyone.

Of course I had to fire my caregiver and it took 6 months to get another one. This one doesn't really do anything for me. She won't fix me anything to eat either. She mostly sits on the couch on her cellphone doing her business stuff and shopping online.🙄 Plus she lies to me and is very argumentative as well.

I'm not happy with what is going on in America because I thought it would be a lot better than it is. 😔

Sorry I am not being my usual self, but I am sure I am not the only one who is feeling this way.

Im sorry today hear that. Life's hard enough without dealing with betrayal at the hands of someone you thought was on your side. I didn't have the betrayal to deal with but otherwise im in same boat. I dont know where we are headed.

Things were better last year, I had a girlfriend and just bought a home, now I’m all alone in the house I bought a year ago to this day and never go anywhere

[sage2021]

@Likes2drive
I hear you!! What a difference for both of us that just one year changed our lives. 😞
I'm so sorry to hear that you're not with your girlfriend anymore. What a bummer.
Well, perhaps 2026 will be better for both of us. 🤞🏼

I hope so, I still have the same job for 23 years but looks like I will be working for another 8

There won't be much for family gatherings here this year. Out of 7 of us kids there is only one brother living in town. I have 3 nephews here but only every see one. So I guess I am as happy as I can possibly be.

[exitseven]

Yes, last year my wife was not well and she seems to be better. economically I am more secure and am looking forward to 2026.

[midnightmoon05]

Yes … things have been very good for the past 4-5 years.

[Simslover92]

I'm much happier than I was last year around this time. I was super depressed about the breakup last year.

[Bricealan]

@sage2021 Me neither sage. I'm very sick this year.

[sage2021]

@Bricealan
Are you physically sick or just sick of 2025?

[Bricealan]

@sage2021 Right now, very sick. With all the stress I have had, I now have Shingles... and it is horrible, never been in such pain

[sage2021]

@Bricelaen
Another guy on here has shingles too. He just got some antiviral medicine for it.

I suggested that he also get some of those prescription pain patches to quill the pain.

I don't know... maybe this is karma coming back at you?
Maybe 🤔

[Bricealan]

@sage2021 Karma coming back to me? What did I do to deserve this. Are you still resentful for my not giving you money?

[Bricealan]

@sage2021 What a hell of a thing to say to me!! And you a Christian woman?

[sage2021]

@Bricealan

Okay it's not Karma but it's God. He knows how bad I needed that medicine and you said you would help so I could feel better - then you reneged on me.
But it does seem like a coincidence that ever since you let me be so sick and didn't help after offering me help - that now you are sick.

God knows what happened.

[Bricealan]

@sage2021 I did not expect you to ask me for 1200.00 for a year of medicine, and I did not know how to start a go fund me'. You make a comment like that and you are a Christian?

[sage2021]

@Bricealan
I never asked you for money and you know it! I asked you to help me start a Go Fund Me Page to get donations for my much needed medicine because I am dehydrated from my medical condition. I am still very sick myself.
You offered to pay for it! You had just received a lot of money from your brother's inheritance and were giving money to charities and said you would help me get better and then you changed your mind.
And as far as being a Christian woman, the Bible says that what you've done to one of mine, you have done it unto me. So God knew you left me to be very sick and you had the money but you spent it on other things instead and left me sick!
Now you are sick. But you will get better with time and I won't without that medicine.

Why do you have to keep saying about me being a Christian but don't say here that you are an atheist?

The medicine wasn't for an entire year. It was for a couple of months that I would need it.

Are you getting your medicine you need?

[Anonymous]

It's slightly better than the last year, but still far from ideal.

[4ngelic]

would say about the same

[FunkyMonkee]

In some ways, I'm happier, in some ways, I'm not.

[Sal_Monella]

Happier. Trump is succeeding.

[loveyouoak]

No, I'm not.

[AgentG111]

I absolutely hate Christmas!

[Merymare]

I am not as happy
