Horrible.

My car got stolen last Monday, I’ve been driving a rental car my insurance hooked me up with. The rental got a flat tire yesterday so I’m paranoid about driving on the spare. I fucking hate cars and I’m pissed that I have to deal with this shit. I literally don’t even want to own a car but I have no choice because my job requires I own a car.

My uncle died of alcohol poisoning on Tuesday this week. They found him face down on the floor with a bottle of vodka in his hand. He’s the fourth person on my mom’s side I’m aware of who died this exact way.

My mom is dying of cancer and she’s been in and out of the hospital for months now. I don’t think I have a lot of time left with her.

Trump is president and he’s ruining the country for years to come, and I’m not even 30 yet. Some woman at work told me to have kids because the world needs more white babies. She literally said, “Do it for trump!” And I responded curtly, “The only thing I’m willing to do for Trump is put him out of his misery.” She got mad and threatened to report me to corporate, so I’m paranoid about that happening.

I have no money, no friends, no hobbies. The only person I talk to is my boyfriend and I feel incredibly guilty that I’m in his life because I have nothing good to say about anything and I’m always in a bad mood. I hate the world and I’m pissed off at everything. I’m so fucking sick of my life.

Holy shit, i'm so sorry. Fuck that woman, what a cultist. I hope things turn around for you.

Sometimes i feel the same way with friends. Either trauma-dump or complain about the state of the world. You always have this community if you want to vent :D

That was literally the strangest, most uncomfortable interaction I’ve ever had with a Trumper I stg. The whole time she was spouting out these great replacement conspiracy theories like they were fact. Ugh…

Thank you, though. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. :)
