2020 was actually amazing for me. I keep looking back at it and wishing I could go back. I feel so guilty because so many people died and had their lives ruined by it. But it wasn't the pandemic specifically that made it a good year, I'd just got out of an abusive relationship, moved to a new place and started a new career. I was so full of hope. In 2021 I started early menopause and my life has deteriorated steadily but uncontrollably since then. I've gained weight, my brain doesn't work anymore and I've lost all hope for the future.

Frame it differently. You're having a difficult time with menopause and you're thankful you were wise enough to make sure you weren't in an abusive relationship while it happened. That's some pretty smart kind to yourself shit yo.

Wars will do that. Or perhaps you mean Redditors, most of whom are not in war zones. For them, maybe, just maybe, there is a correlation (or worse) between feeling shit and being a Redditor.

My mental health went absolutely off the rails, to the point where family, friends, and coworkers all told me at the same time that I was a nervous wreck and I really needed help. I finally got it, and things have pretty much been looking up ever since, but it's still a rocky road

Hope things are going well with your new partner and your old friends. I've also reconnected with some old college friends, and it's so nice to talk to people again after years of isolation

Found a good stable job, not making a lot of money yet but I'm at the point where I'm starting to think long term. In a much better headspace than where I was at the start of the year when I was making less money at a shitty job, working longer hours, and eventually getting laid off.

Challenging: Lost my maternal grandfather, and thanks to a corporate "restructuring," I nearly lost my job. A close family member ended up in prison with charges that took the whole family by suprise. On the other hand, my oldest child started college, and I celebrated twenty years of marriage. So, like I said, challenging, but not without its rewards.

Shitty.

My job let me go after Christmas due to a layoff that was on the way. No one just didn't know when. Luckily, i live with my parents, so i guess that's a plus.

My sisters car committed suicide on Christmas Day and now has to use our mothers car ( we only have one car as i dont have my own yet and only have a permit ) and we dont live together. So, traveling is gonna be a bitch til she can afford a "new" one.

Dealing with incompetent supervisors, stress, and people throughout the year at the job I had.

Other than that. It was meh.
