Today, I'm extremely depressed because I can't play live music due to this stupid virus. I can't get a date or even a hug, and the career I worked for seven years toward was totally destroyed. All my friends are too busy for me, unless they need a favor. I hate my life. I need a hug. I'm not going to get it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm jealous of people who get to hug. My mom has banned hugs in the house because of COVID-19, and the only person I've hugged in the last 6 months is my boyfriend. He's been away for work for the past month and a half. FML
Today, because of this fucking virus I was really excited to actually talk to another person. FML
Today, my psychologist canceled our appointment due to Covid. I'm a mess and was looking forward to our meeting, it's the only constant thing in my life. FML
Today, and ever since the start of the Covid pandemic, my friends have progressively stopped talking to me. They've stated at the time that they are too tired, their significant other won't let them, or they're simply sick of me. I still want to hang out as usual, but I don't have who to hang out anymore. FML
Today, I'm stuck in quarantine and my friends are planning stuff like swimming without me in our group chat, instead of doing it in another chat group. It's like I don't even exist. FML
Today, I was supposed to get married. Unfortunately, it was cancelled because of the coronavirus. FML
Today, I'm incredibly depressed because of touch-starvation. I also have haphephobia, the fear of being touched, in addition to crippling social anxiety. Why do I feel as though I was intentionally made to be as utterly miserable as possible? FML
Today, I keep trying to use the Meetup app to meet people, but life keeps trolling me, and every event I even attempt to join (all virtual so far) has been met with no social interaction. It feels like life keeps hammering in the idea that I should just sit in my room and atrophy away. FML
Today, I noticed that my weekend hobby is crying. I live in a city where I don't have a single friend or relative. FML
Today, I deleted all of my dating apps because apparently something is wrong with me. I've been on 20 different dates this year and nothing has come out of it. I feel like I have the plague and no one wants to be near me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

try streaming? there's plenty of big channels on twitch and youtube that stream music live. record your stream and upload the video. that way even though the audience isn't infront of you you're still preforming live and can see their reactions in real time. your friends are either bad friends or don't understand how you feel. talk to them and decide if the right choice is fixing your relationships or ending them.

I wish we knew what this career was that you worked 7 years for. Why is it destroyed?

Being a musician for live shows, apparently. And it's destroyed because there are no live shows for the time being.

It's possible that he doesn't perform solo. Lots of musicians work for other bands on a freelance basis and don't compose or own any songs themselves.

costreaming with others is an option.

Have you tried doing live music like people do on reddit, there's always some one streaming live music on reddit. Do you have any family near by? I'm sure they would love to talk to you and hug you.

Hang in there. I know I miss my family and friends a lot. Find some ways to ease into society and find friends. Try new hobbies. Take care and feel better :)
