    Everyone feels like giving up sometimes.

    I think you should take a step back and ask yourself:
    Why am I failing college?
    Why am I going to get fired from my job?
    Why do I hate my mom?

    Those are things you can control.
    If you know why those problems exist, you can think of positive ways to make things better.

    Watching someone you love die is probably the hardest thing to deal with in life, but the most you can do is just be there for your nan. Cherish the time you have left to spend with her.

    There must be some way to get money so your Dad can have the operation he needs. If you can't get the money yourself, maybe close family or friends would donate. People have donation funds for operations all the time. Depending on what your dad needs done, he may even be able to get a foundation to help him.

    As for unrequited love, if she doesn't love you like you love her, she isn't worth the trouble. Let her be happy, and move on so you can be happy, too. If it's meant to be, it will be.

    • Well things have turned around

      Since i posted this:

      My nan has passed away, which was inevitable, i was prepared.

      I've passed an exam

      I've actually got a pay rise, god knows how that's happened

      Relationship with mom has slightly improved.

      My dad's operation failed, but he has another one scheduled soon and everything should be fine.

      I have a first date soon

      The girl i love(d) got her heart broken by some jerk she dated, which i expected.

      I haven't been this happy in so long, i can't thank you guys enough

    quit college
    quit your job
    fuck those bitches off
    go visit your Nan
    sorry about your Dad but life is just shit some times

    Your failing college and losing your job because it's not what you really want to do in life decide what you want to do and do everything you can possible to make it happen.

    If that doesn't work...drink.

        Promised by whom?
        It's what YOU make of it, not what you are given.

          It's just figurative language mate you used it so did I. Don't be so literal

            Simply reading too much into it

              You are given life, from the moment your parents choose to have sex to procreate. You can't just say I want to exist now and exist. Before you are born you have no ability to be able to choose that. You are given life.

            There is NOTHING figurative about "dream like you'll live forever, live like you'll die tomorrow."
            It is 100% literal and are words every human should strive to live by if they would like a good life.
            Words of hope for this poster and others like him who have lost their way.

              It is figurative mate because you can't possibly live forever you can't dream like that every dream has a conclusion, when you wake up. To write of Immortality within a dream is using figurative language.

    You can't give up! Hang in there and count your blessings. Think of all the good things in your life! That's the best advice I've got, kiddo. Hope you feel better soon ;)

    you have a good grip on reality, so turning things around is possible.

    Hey man. I'm really sorry I can't give you any advice, since I don't know what to do myself. But I'm in a very similar situation also. Obviously everybody deals with things differently, so I can't draw parallels between us, but I can say I'm going though a very similar amount of shit too. But please. Don't give up. I know I want to, but no one else should have to consider anything like that. I know it's hypocritical, applying that to someone else and not myself, but the thing is I'm sure people care about you, and hell, I don't even know you but I feel as if I understand you. Please stay strong. You can make it. Please.
