Today, I realized I've been sinking into a deep depression, ignoring all my friends, and don't know what to do with my life anymore. This is all because I gave up Facebook for lent. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, Facebook stopped working and I realized how emotionally dependent I am on social media. FML
Today, I kept restarting my internet, wondering why I wasn't receiving any messages from my friends. Then I realized they were all ignoring me. FML
Today, I decided not to go on Facebook so people would actually think that I have a life. FML
Today, I spent an hour deleting 70 of my status posts from the past week so I don't look so addicted to Facebook. Damn, I need a life. FML
Today, I realised that my social anxiety, fear of people's judgment, social isolation, you name it, have got so bad that I literally have no interests. It got to such a point that I even have nothing to search up in the internet, so I just stare at an empty browser page wondering what should I do with my life. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. FML
Today, while pensively thinking up my next awesome Facebook status over dinner, I finally came to the conclusion that I need to get a life. FML
Today, after growing tired of my friends group leaving me behind every time and having secrets between them, I started to ignore them and stopped following them, without saying anything. They haven't spoken to me since, and it's been 7 months. I'm alone. FML
Today, I decided that after three days, I had to cut short my hiatus from social media. I saw a correlation between that and my anxiety going through the roof, causing my work performance to suffer. I’m so addicted to social media that in my off time, I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. FML
Today, I was feeling really down and decided to text a friend to vent to someone about it. Then I realized, I don’t have any friends. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If your depressed it has to be something way deeper then giving up Facebook and if not then how are you going to react to the bigger obstacles in life?

what is lent?

It's a Christian tradition in which someone sacrifices something important to them (Facebook in the OP's case) from Ash Wednesday to Easter. Google it for more information.

Honeybunches is obviously confused. Don't listen to her. Lent is the stuff that you find in your pockets and always seems to come back no matter how many times you remove it. It is also found in clothes dryers and belly buttons. You're welcome.

90, you are confused. That is LINT. Docbastard is correct.

You can tell it started because a bunch of idiots wander around with dirt on their faces (yes I know it is ashes, I just think it's ridiculous).

158, it's a sign of humility... back when Christianity was first emerging, people who admitted were persecuted. (especially by Emperor Nero) It may seem ridiculous, and believe me, it sucks for those of us who walk around all day with the damn things on our heads, but it's an outward symbol of being a follower of Christ. (At least in Catholicism.) Personally I think it would be nice if more people used loving actions as an outward symbol of following Christ, but you know how human nature is...

It's the past tense of Lend. Let the grammar Nazi's sort that one out.
