How was your 2018: 0 being the absolute worst 10 being the absolute best.
I'll go with a 7
I've had a loss in the family as well, health could definitely be better and I'm not really happy in my job. But I'm still very grateful for this year, because I got my bachelor's degree, I'm able and have the opportunity to earn money, I have a home that keeps me dry and warm and - most important for me - I got married this year :) So either really good things happened or things that I can learn and grow from :)
Hope you all have a lovely, healthy and successful 2019!

Condolences ... and concratulations. That sounds like an eventfull year. Good to hear the good events outweigh the bad ones. I am sad to hear of your loss. My father is the person who passed away this year, and I am slowly picking up the pieces. I have so much to be greatfull for, and hearing other peoples stories can put things into perspective. I wish you a lovely, and healthy 2019!

Thank you, and I'm very sorry for your loss. I think it's important to take all the time you need and I admire your strength and positivity! As dark as situations seem sometimes, I firmly believe in the end we can always take something away from it :)

I'd say 7/10, with 5 being "average". So it was a good year for me. Not perfect. I lost quite some weight, which improved my life.
I had mostly nice vacation.
On the other hand, I had some problems building or mantaining any kind of social interactions - but you can't have it all. So altogether I'd say that I am grateful for 2018 an wouldn't mind for a similar year to come.
Heh... I like this thread. I haven't reflected upon the year before, nor did the throught cross my mind.

Finished my longest-term relationship - 0

Nice giveaways TT! And good idea for a thread.
I voted "8" as it was a good year for me overall, from a personal perspective.
The only negative was that my job got a lot more frustrating due to bad management and many incompetent colleagues, but everything else was good. My girlfriend moved in with me and it's going really well, friends and family are in good health, and I was able to do some traveling and play a lot of games. All in all, I'm thankful for a good year.

Let's see... the first half was ok. Depression and anxiety were not so bad, it was manageable.
Then I lost my job on August 30. It was a total shock. I got fired. You know, when you think you're doing ok at work and apparently, it wasn't the case? Huh... I'm still fighting with the government over Employment Insurance benefits and the organization that takes care of labor laws (I want it to investigate, because the way it happened... I'm sure there's something fishy going on)
Also, lost an aunt to cancer two days before I got fired. That... was a shitty week.
I kinda spiraled down from there... I'm in touch with my gp, having my meds increased because I'm having a hard time with life at the moment.
Hum... I thought finding another job would be easy, I had contacts in other companies but nothing went as I expected. I'm still jobless. Thankfully, I have savings so I don't need to worry too much about money for now.
Err... I learned that my dad had cancer last Friday. And recently, that one of my friends is suicidal.
But I'm still alive. I'm still able to laugh. Although it might be harder than usual. I know that #DepressionLies, as the wonderful Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess) often says. What can I say? One day at a time? I'm not fishing for pats on the back, just telling it the way it is.
Hopefully, 2019 will be a better year.

That sounds like quite a serving of bad luck. Keep up that good and strong spirit! I wish your father all the strength he needs and more to fight his disease. I hope your friend stays strong, and I hope you will have a much better 2019!

Mixed bag. Some really good things happened, but my mom got hit by a car in oct and probably won’t ever fully recover from it. Now we’re waiting for the settlement and hope it’s soon because we’re so behind on rent.

What a shock. Good to hear she is still alive, I hope she will recover as good as possible as soon as possible. Financial trouble in such a situation can feel overwhelming, and I hope you will all manage to climb out of it asap. Best wishes for 2019!

My condolences. ... Sounds like you are a strong person, and a cool uncle. Best wishes for 2019!

Let's see -- my niece and my sister's husband both died, that was a complete bummer. I left one job and started another (and start a 2nd job Monday morning), so that was good. Made some great new friends and met some really amazing people, so that kicked things up a notch or five. Oh, and I didn't get stabbed this year, which is always good.
All in all, I've decided I have to take the bad with the good to keep myself balanced, so I really can't complain too much. One can always hope 2019 will be a better year, both for self-improvement and moving forward with life in general.

I am sorry for your losses.
...
Good to hear you also had good events to somewhat counteract these shocking events, this year and before.
Lets hope for a better 2019 similarly free from violence.

It was a nightmare. And it got even worse to the end. And it seems my troubles won't stop with the end of year, and will haunt me at least on the start of the next year too.

Still depressed. Still find everything pointless. Attempts to fix that by going to a psychiatrist so far completely unsuccessful and medication only succeeded in making me gain weight. But at least no-one died this time around (the ones who are due are just going more and more mentally unstable).
So as a summary- pretty meh, but at least not as bad as last year.

Lets put all our 2018s to the test, and put them into perspective.
I am not asking: how was 2018 for humanity, but how was it for you?
Were you healthy, or were you ill?
Did you lose someone who was close to you, or did find someone to be close to?
I, like many others I suppose, lost someone this year, I cared for so much it left deep scars.
I am (happy and priviliged to be) in good health though, and I pray you are too,
and if you are not, I pray 2019 will make you feel so much better.
Perhaps 2018 has been good to you?
Share with us your joy.
In the poll, I suppose we should end up with a normalcurve.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps sgers are particularly lucky, or unlucky.
Perhaps they feel more or less happy then one would statistically expect?
Perhaps 2018 was just a great or terrible year for everyone?
Lets find out.
