Today, I put more effort into getting and keeping my Sims onto a good sleep schedule in order to properly take care of their needs than I did for myself. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML
Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML
Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML
Today, I realised just how badly I procrastinate because I wanted to take a nap before going out for a friend's birthday, but I kept putting it off until I simply didn't have the time. FML
Today, after a very poor night's sleep, I've had to stay awake and do housework while my husband, who slept like a baby last night, keeps on sleeping because he "didn't sleep well." He was snoring all night long, the reason I didn't sleep well. FML
Today, I got a complaint that I'm not performing as usual at my work. That's when I realised it was because I now prioritise my sleep and life over staying awake late at night to learn from the offshore team. I used to work during the ungodly hours of 2am to 7am daily and was then a zombie for the whole day. FML
Today, I had to explain to my gaming friends that I can't be a night owl anymore because of a major health scare where I was suddenly unable to sleep at all. I now have to take sleeping pills every night and abide by a strict sleeping schedule. My friends are bummed out, and I feel bad for them. Fuck insomnia. FML
Today, while in bed, I tried to explain how overworked and unappreciated I feel doing all the housework to my fiancé. It was only when I'd finished my long rant that I realized he had been asleep almost the whole time. FML
Today, was just another exhausting day in which I cater to the needs of my kids, my cat, and my boss. I work opposite hours from my wife, we barely have energy to catch up and plan chores. I sleep 5 hours a day tops and have to work out daily so my back doesn't hurt. I'm burned out. I don't know what I need but I need it now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I swear time jumps when you're on sims. No way I played that for 5 hours straight today...

what if life is a dream which makes the Sims as equally important ?

I can relate to this so much. I'm not long unemployed and while looking for jobs, sims was a regular thing. They had such fun filled days!

I was genuinely thinking a couple of days ago how ironic it is that I make sure my Sims do their homework every day, while I'm putting off writing my dissertation playing the game..

Don't even bother with the sleep schedule and just use the boolprop cheat. Instant good mood. And friends.

I would love to. I just have a difficult time motivating myself to stick to a decent schedule. Probably doesn't help that my work schedule is inconsistent at best.

I was basically obsessed with it, until my husband pointed out that I was spending all my time making fake people happy and ignoring the real ones. Haven't played it since.

I do the exact same thing. I even get mad at my sims when they play video games instead of doing homework, which is exactly what I'm doing
