Yesterday was my birthday (24), but was not a happy one. Well to be honest I haven't had a happy one for quite some time now. Usually birthdays mark yet another year of me not finding a job and not doing anything productive, yet another year of me not accomplishing anything in life. On top of that I usually don't celebrate them because I don't have money to.

However yesterday there unfortunately was one more reason. On tuesday my father had a stroke, his head had to be operated and he fell into a coma. Yesterday doctors told us that there is no more bleeding in the head but that he is in deep coma which means it's impossible to determine will he ever wake up . On top of that they're worried about his weak oversized heart.

He has been of bad health for a very long time. Issues with heart, kidneys and what not. I accepted the fact that his condition can get worse any moment long time ago, so this didn't strike me too hard as I was mentally prepared for it this whole time. So long as he is alive, even while in coma I'll try not to stress or worry about it. At least in this state he isn't in pain so I'll consider this as him taking a break from all the shit.

Anyway I traded for some games few days before my birthday because I planned on making the birthday thread, but after the incident with my father I wasn't in the mood for it. I'll make those gibs now, nothing special but they're all games with positive reviews. Choo-Choo

I'm sure not many of us relate, but you have our attention and apologies. It's easy for a stranger such as myself to inform you that things will get better, without being held to that statement, but it is something worth being thrown out there. I know this is no consolation to you, but best wishes to your dad and job search.

Can totally relate to the birthday thing, the job thing and the bad health of your father.

Take care, hope it will get better.

Ah well, birthdays really start to lose the meaning after you reach 20. Although that largely depend on the people around you. But would think for most around here it is pretty silent. Atleast I haven't had anything special on my bday for many years now.
Sorry to hear about your father. I'm sure it has been tough for you as well, and taxing. Specially if you have been taking care of him at home. Hope things get better by time. Regardless of what happens, remember to make the most of the time you have. It is really short, specially the time when you are relatively healthy.

I'm a couple of years younger than you and just recently my birthday went past, which was more depressing than usual. I felt like a useless piece of shit for failing everything in my life and not accomplishing anything, so I hope everything will work out for you. I wish you the best as always and hope that your father will get better. ^_^

Yea, I saw your thread. I've been pretty inactive for a few months too and surprised to see how much worse the community has become. Speaking on the topic then, I tell my brother to kill himself at least once every time we meet, it's not like I actually mean it.
I've struggled with depression for years and soon I'll probably give in, but getting suspended for the comment is kind of silly, (unless the person themself reported it to mods) but it's not like they have a choice. This community thrives on drama (and witch hunts) and they have to act, even if it's silly.

yeah, SG is not exactly the friendliest place on the internet.
oh, how I want to tell you that you shouldn't give up, that things will get better eventually but I don't believe it myself. I just wish to go to sleep and never wake up.

exactly the same, I tell everyone to not give up and it's not so bad and stuff, but I know I don't believe it so they probably won't either.
I'd like to sleep forever too, but I can barely even sleep...

that sucks... I have no problem with sleeping, only with getting up. when you're awake you think, you feel and sometimes think about not feeling anything. I really feel sorry for you, insomnia's a bitch :(

well, it takes me hours to fall asleep, I have wonderful dreams and then I wake up into this hell...
yesterday I slept like 10 hours, but even after waking up I felt extremely tired and thought I could sleep for ages :/

I'm sorry for your dad, I mean it.

Besides that, I feel the same almost every day of my life. I'm 21 but I still have no view of my future life nor any plan.

Sorry my expression didn't feel too optimistic, but you know you're not alone.
