Wanted to do a GA to celebrate the fact that I just got back to work for the first time in 4 months. Wanted to buy a couple copies of the Capcom bundle, one for me, one for GA, and then a AAA game for a special GA.

And then I got robbed twice in the last two weeks, The first time they get 90 dollars. This time they got my entire wallet with cards that I had to cancel and about 300 dollars in cash. Gotta go to the DMV and get a new ID, which is gonna be hard now that I'm fucking broke. Both robbries happened on Friday night. The cops did absolutely nothing. Feeling really distraught.

I've always been really depressed. I always told myself that if I ever got to a point in my life where I knew for a fact that things would never get better, I wouldn't allow myself to go through it anymore. This world is shit. It's always been shit and it always will be shit. I wanna get a concealed carry permit but with my job it's a felony to bring the weapon to work. I just don't know what to do anymore. Part of me wants to go out and do some really sick shit. Part of me just wants to fucking end it all and take it out on myself. I don't want to live in a world of liars and thieves and people who are just disgusting animals. Or should I turn shit around and start dishing out the pain? A total of 390 total has been stolen from me in the past 8 days. Should I just take it out on other people and rob someone else? Is that the way this world works?

So if anyone out there remembers me writing a post on how I wanted to celebrate going back to work and how I owed a huge debt to Steamgifts for lifting my spirits I sincerely apologize. As soon as the world stops taking a giant shit on me I'll try to keep my word.

Stay home and wait in the dark with a baseball bat when Friday night comes around again.

Studies show that criminals who were beaten severely while attempting robberies were unsuccessful with said attempts.

Sadly, shit happens. Had stuff stolen myself a few years ago. Hopefully you can sleep again soon.

How about a set of these? Consealable, no permit needed and easy to use for defense.

Oh, and this as well.

Sorry to hear things haven't been going well for you.
Life is very unfair sometimes. If you feel like talking, feel free to add me.

If it's really that bad where you live, then you should just pack up and move. It seems like an impossible challenge, I know, but trust me - it can be done if your will is strong.

Also, see a counselor. Seriously.

What work do you do that a lawfully obtained conceal carry is a felony? I'm not sure I understand that comment.

Well, first off: Congrats on getting back to work! I hope it's a job you enjoy and get the most out of! I'm really sorry you got robbed too. It happens to the best of us friend. There was a time I was attacked with a baseball bat across the head and left in a ditch overnight. The guy took all my money I had and the shoes I was wearing. It's times like these you have to be strong and rise above it.

It may not seem like it now, but you will get through this. Focus on the important things in life, like friends and family. Be strong and lead a positive life and become a better example to leave for others. The only way for the world to become a better place for us and our families to live in is if we actively make it so.

Don't hesitate to add me on Steam if you need someone to talk to. Stay strong friend! :)

ouch... sorry to hear about that.... Sadly, sometimes life tends to throw a lot of shit to you at the same time... But, you just need to take a deep breath, log into SG and lurk the forums for a while... hopefully, after several cat/dog gifs and some memes, your spirit will be relieved a bit. .. :P

Just remember that life is not always like that and that in the same way that you're experiencing several bad situations in a short period of time, there will come a time where lots of good stuff will happen almost simultaneously... As a wise man once said: "Keep walking."

Not sure if this helps you or not, but I remember a time where I was driving and I came to a stop. Was waiting there and some guy in a bike was daydreaming and crashed into my car, breaking the rear windshield... Even if the accident was not my fault, I ended up paying between 500 - 750 USD for insurance and paperwork... Hopefully, the guy did not have major injuries, since otherwise I would ended up having to pay for his injuries... :(

damn, that's bad luck and also terrible... hope you didn't get hurt.
just try to avoid those places where you could get robbed/mugged, even if it takes more time to reach to your destination or if it's more expensive, it's really not worth the risk.

Been there, done that myself. I'd bet most of us have at one point.

All I can say is money is just a material thing, and it can be replaced. You, on the other hand, cannot. Get some rest or have a friend come over and talk about it. The best thing about things being at their worst is that they tend to get better.

Life sometimes has these terrible situations going on for us, and it's quite sucky.

Hope things get better for you soon. No one deserves to go through such negative experiences...

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad time, thing always look insurmontable when you are in that state of mind, give yourself a chance. You going back to work and that is one good thing you got going and I'm sure if you look more you'll a bunch of positive stuff (even the little things).
Anyway I'm sure things will start to look up soon, it can't be all bad always. I really hope you find someone to talk too, it always make me feel better to talk it out, I am not always online, but if you feel you need to talk don't hesitate to add me:) Good luck and taking it out on yourself is never the answer,,,

Don't worry about it. Life happens, and unfortunately there's often nothing you can do about it. Take care of yourself first.

I sincerely hope life does a 360 for you soon and turns around for the better. Life gets tough sometimes but maybe you should talk to someone close to you if you have thoughts like that and if you don't have someone close to you in person, I know there are tons of people on this site that would be more than happy to lend a ear or advice. I hope you feel better and sending positive vibes your way friend!

Be strong and find someone to talk to, surely $390 isn't worth someones life. I once lost a co-worker that got killed over some beer. I didn't even know him that well but it still tears me up when I think about it. Don't be that guy. Talk to someone, there is always good news somewhere. Someone can and will help you. You can't focus on the bad people, we all know they are out there. Focus on the good people and let them help you through the tough times. I can assure you there are way more good people out there than there are bad.

Damn, man that sucks. Sometimes you end up dealing with people who are just absolutely garbage. Fortunately, all I can really say is, just think of all the other people who every day DONT do this to you.

The world sometimes overpowers us with it's darkness, but honestly, the majority of people are quite good. Just try to remember to look at the glass half full, and remember all the good things that do happen.

Sometimes it can be rough, but life is a challenge sometimes.
I hope you feel better soon and please try to take everyone's good feelings and well-wishing to heart.
