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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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...

Get some sleep, wake up rested and get out in the real world.

Real world has some pretty amazing graphics but the gameplay is complete shit.

#7 I agree, the real world needs a new dev. team. The current it like playing COD classic in xbox 1

And that dumb glitch where you can't respawn, no matter how many cheats you try to put in.

This is the most beautiful comment of FML.

You should get alarms at intervals to remind you to sleep and wake up, for the sims ofcourse

Is it ironic that the FML app saw fit to put a sims add at the bottom of my screen while I was reading this?

Try to get some actual sleep and go to the mall or something and walk around OP. Find something you like that's outside. I use to be heavy on video games but changed it.

Welcome to the Simmers lifestyle! We can stay up days at a time, not shower for 3 days, yet our Sims will be getting promotions at work and have top notch health. Who cares if WE get sick. Just means more time to play Sims (:
