Today, my life finally seemed to be getting on track after recovering from major depression, paying off most of my debt, and scoring an amazing job. And then I woke up. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after a month of things going wrong in my life and finally getting better, I woke up refreshed and ready to face the day. Then, I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, I found out that I can no longer work at my dream job because of their financial status. And of course, just now that I was finally beginning to be happy with my life, something like this naturally had to happen. FML
Today, I got my first job offer in over a year, a mere few days after being accepted to study for my dream career. My crippling depression won't allow me to enjoy any of it. FML
Today, I got fired from my low-paying, depression-inducing job. At least now I have a "real reason" to be depressed. FML
Today, I woke up from an amazing dream. I dreamt that I got a promotion at work and doubled my income, the dream was so great that I tried so hard not to wake up. When I did wake up it was 10 o'clock, two hours late for work I noticed I had a voicemail from my boss. I was fired for being late. FML
Today, after spending last year putting in hard work, which paid off and I got my dream job, due to my own mismanagement of stress my dream job is gone and life is back at square one. Now everyone's predictions of me being a waste of space are true and I have to reinvent my life. Starting over at 38 after already starting over at 36. I can't anymore. FML
Today, I'm exhausted. My antidepressants ran out, making me overreact to everything. My friends dragged me into really childish drama, resulting in me ditching them. Then my work laptop broke on the most important day of my project. Then I got my first break from work in about a year… and woke up with COVID. FML
Today, I woke up and wished I hadn’t. I’m broke, tired, hungry and sick of my family, who is rich by the way, not even contributing a penny to help me from being evicted. Oh, and I lost my job last week. FML
Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML
Today, I woke up feeling out of step with life. Work owes me money for 6 months-worth of projects I did. I collected loans to take care of my sick dad and manage myself, and now my bosses are refusing to pay what they owe, so my account balance is blank. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you know that most studies indicate that sleep is an important part of staying alive?

Let me try to provide uplifting advice in a similar vein to some of the previous comments: If you're the kind of person who doesn't do things you want, be a different kind of person! Want things hard enough to get them! Do well instead of badly!

That is literally the most useless advice I've ever seen.

Wait, I just realized it could be a sarcastic dig at some of the other comments. It's hard to tell because people will say such things seriously.

And it made you even more depressed, causing you to lose your shitty job, causing even greater debt. Dreams suck.

Your dreams are reflection of your desires. To desire, is the first step to achieve. GL.

It also doesn't hurt to speak it into existence, the law of attraction i believe it's called.

Your dreams are your subconscious telling you that you'll get there eventually and not to stress. Good luck OP you'll get there don't worry

Those things are possible. The thing about depression is that it takes away your hope. Hope that you will get better, hope that people love you, hope for a better tomorrow. Don't listen to that voice in your head. You are worth it. All of it- love, happiness, security. Surround yourself with people who lift you up, and in turn; reach down help up those who have fallen farther than you. You endure what you cannot bear, until you can bear it. Good luck OP.

Wait, so people are voting up the post that said "If you can't solve your problems, find the solution!" but are voting down the actually helpful post in this thread? Do any of you actually know ANYTHING about depression? THIS post is useful!

Hahahahahah. Thanks for the backup. Mental Health is kind of my thing... I was a little confused by the down vote myself, but never really concern myself too much with it.
