My boss just sent me a 3-page email at 11 PM on Friday asking me to 'just quickly review' a project that's due Monday. Quick review? It's 200 pages of technical documentation! And of course, it's marked as 'urgent' with no context. Why do managers think weekends are just extensions of the work week? I'm so done with this 'always available' culture.

My professor assigned a 20-page research paper due in 3 days. THREE DAYS. For a paper that requires 15 academic sources and original research. I haven't slept in 48 hours, I'm running on coffee and pure spite, and I'm pretty sure my brain has stopped functioning. This is not education, this is torture.

I've been in the same meeting for 2 hours and we've accomplished absolutely nothing. We've discussed the same three points in circles, someone keeps going on tangents about their weekend, and the person who called the meeting hasn't even shown up yet. This is why I hate corporate culture. Just make a decision already!

Another 'team building' event that's actually mandatory overtime. We're supposed to be 'bonding' while doing unpaid work on a Saturday. I don't want to bond, I want to go home and not think about work for 48 hours. Is that too much to ask?

My anxiety has been through the roof lately and everyone keeps telling me to 'just relax' or 'think positive.' Thanks, I'm cured! If it was that easy, don't you think I would have done that already? Mental health isn't something you can just turn off like a switch.

I just found out my coworker who does half the work I do makes 30% more than me. Same position, same experience level, but apparently being friends with the manager gets you further than actual competence. I'm so angry I could scream. This is why people job hop constantly.

im sick of living, i havent had a day of peace and im uncomfortable everywhere. i hate being yelled at every day but my sibling still does it and my mum keeps blaming me for being 'aggressive' and 'loud' but i speak softly before i crash out and she doesnt see the good in me. nobody sees the good that i do at all and they all see me as ugly or weird or some negative stupid thing like that. i dont understand why im like this and i dont understand why i get treated like this by my own family. all i want is to be left alone for a day and to just lay around doing nothing without being shamed for it

I wish to be held. Times I debate with myself, if I want to be loved, or if my will to love back is stronger than the former. Often, I believe myself to yearn for the freedom to express romantic love rather than yearning to receive it. Its comparable to introversion or 'anti-social'-ness. Often, you're content, sometimes happy all alone in your own space. However, loneliness always hits the hardest once your mind breaks that mental shield. I never have imagined the reality of someone complimenting me romantically, flirting or of similar gestures. I will never find myself to fit that image I do believe in a more fantastical concept of love, something many consider unrealistic now. 'Pure' love doesn't exist. Or so they say. I believe otherwise. I think 'true' love can exist, and no longer a norm because no one practices it anymore. Everyone seeks to gain from a relationship, particularly materialistic worth even if they don't think so I simply want someone I'm willing to fight Hell for

i want to kick the chair but im too scared to do it, its just a rope, all i have to do is kick a chair. why am i so scared? its not like i have anything to leave behind. i havent accomplished anything in my life so far so why am i so scared? is it my family? is it my friends? or maybe its because i dont have a good enough reason to do it, or because im still a minor.

Am i wrong for wanting a break away from my boyfriend after he attempted again? He told me like it didn't matter, this is maybe the third time i know of. Were long distance so it scares me.

Hi. I'm a 15 year old who constantly fails at anything she does. I'm crying right now because I'm just so emotional and I can't do anything to just make things better. I don't know why I'm like this. Always crying, always being such a dumb bitch. I'm a burden to my family, and a nuisance to my classmates. I wish I was better for the people I love. Maybe, it's better if I'm just not here anymore. Everything's so pointless. Why did I hesitate ending my life 3 years ago? I should've tried harder to escape. Gosh, am I really that bad? Am I really that useless? I'm not at the top of my class. I'm not pretty. I'm just here. I don't wanna be here anymore. I didn't fight hard enough for the good grades. I didn't fight hard enough for the people I love. I'm sorry. To my family, friends, everyone. I'm not good enough, and I never will be. I'm sorry that I am who I am. I hope I find the opportunity to leave and never bother anyone else ever again. I hope the pills work this time. Thank you

Why do automatic doors wait until you're 2 feet away to open? I'm walking at a normal pace, not sprinting, but the door acts like it's surprised to see me. Then it closes right as I'm walking through. It's 2024, can we get doors that actually work properly?

I just wish that you get as excited as I do for our mini-dates. Really hoped that you did something for valentines.

I've been staying inside ever since I was 13, and now I'm 19. I lost so much time. I lost so many opportunities and experiences. I gained so much social anxiety. i didn't go to school, I lost all my friends too. All I did was use a computer for 6 years. No school, no real life experiences, nothing. I am so incredibly depressed and hurt. I'd give anything to turn back time and fix my mistake. I want to go back to when I was 13, and live normally. I want to not decline my friends when they asked to go out. I want to pressure my mom to let me go to school (it was covid at the time, my mom didn't allow me to go to school). I'd give anything. If it means letting myself be tortured for a whole year, but at the end, my time would be reversed to when I was 13 and allowed to fix stuff, I would let myself be tortured. If it means losing all my new experience in the unity game engine that I've gained in those 6 years, I'd let go of unity and not become a game developer. I'd give anything I own.

I am so tired of school. I study and do the best i can, and i like my grades no matter if its 'bare pass' or 'near fail' like others say. But in that one exam(geometry and trigonometry), there was someone watching over us obviously. I was solving, and i cross out alot of stuff like usual, but the one watching us came up to me, flipped my papers to look, and said 'if i was the one correcting i'd give you a zero' and looked at me disgustingly.. well, and then, i was the last one to be in the exam hall as i should be if i want since the time still wasnt ended, but the watcher kept sighing and rolling eyes and stuff, and then i asked since i kinda stress stuff out 'can i do any steps in the last question since im not so sure of them, and i cant leave it empty?', and then the one watching said 'you can leave the whole exam empty' with clear mocking intent. At that time it didnt affect me that much, but now (after 2 weeks), it hurts me so bad.. i tried my best, yet thats how i get treated...

I am litteally tired of eveything...11th grade has been soo bad overall..I tried my best to do study but It did not work...my model is in 12 days and I cannot study..no matter how I study I will always forget i..Physics,vhemistry it fucking hurts learning...them..seeing the dissapointment on her face after failing every test geniuunely hurts me..I want nothing..I dont want to study and i dont want anything..I dont even want to be happy..everyday I am still wondering why do I live..why do I take my meds but...i dont either..i dont why I am hoping....I dont want work my ass of studying...I am tired of stressing myself out..I wantt nothing..literal nothing

ive been stalked by an unknown man for more than a year now. i have gathered evidence but not enough to report it. i know i seem him when im out the house. it does drive me insane sometimes behind who's doing this. yet i have no clue on who it could be but its a man. dressed in simple plain clothes due to not seeing him visibly close just from a few distance in his vehicle. im fed up honestly just needed to vent this i wanna know but also not excited to see whats next near future on this guy.

My girlfriend of almost 2 years cheated on me 7 months ago and I begged her to stay but now I feel like throwing up everytime I think about it

I want to kill myself because people keep hating me and they keep bullying everywhere and they keep making me suicidal because they are always targeting me and no one else. That's not fair. I don't understand why. I don't like people because they bully me and treat me poorly and it makes me suicidal. They don't care about me and they target me more than my sisters and it makes me suicidal then. Everyone hates me. Even my own mom does. It makes me want to kill myself. Everyone wants me to die and they make me suicidal when they diagnose me and blame a mental illness that makes me want to kill them and kill myself. I want to blow their head off. I hate people and I want to slaughter them like animals because they bother me. I want to kill them all. I want to beat them up for hating my behavior and for complaining about my behavior. I want to kill people for being sexual with me and I want to kill people for thinking I am cute and beautiful. I want to kill them for bothering me.

People who say 'I could care less' when they mean 'I couldn't care less.' If you COULD care less, that means you DO care! The phrase literally means the opposite of what you're trying to say! This drives me absolutely insane. Learn basic grammar!

I've been trying to get a doctor's appointment for 3 weeks. The earliest available is in 2 months. Two months! I'm not dying, but I'm also not okay. The healthcare system is completely broken. What am I supposed to do, just suffer until then?

i feel like I have nobody in this world and everyone hates me

I'm super tired of the work atmosphere. Makes me depressed too...

I’m so tired of being overweight, I hate what I see in pictures and videos and the mirror. Everyone says I should have body positivity but I fucking hate myself. I looked at a picture of myself from high school and it made me want to throw up all my food and stop eating. This isn’t healthy

I passed the first semester of organic chem just by memorizing the reactions, now its the second semester and I dont know how to do the real stuff and its too late to recover. I got 25/100 on my test, I am so hopeless. I just want to pass this class and transfer already..

I can't wait till my sibling's japanese phase is over with. It's so cringe and weird.

teacher abused me and my parents didnt want to say anything to anyone my grades have drop i feel everyday i cry

Social media algorithms keep showing me the same three types of content: people flexing their wealth, relationship drama, and 'motivational' quotes that are actually just toxic positivity. I miss when the internet was fun and not a constant comparison trap.

I asked for 'no pickles' on my burger and they gave me EXTRA pickles. Like, not just regular pickles, but an entire pickle garden on my burger. I specifically said NO pickles! How do you mess that up? It's the easiest instruction in the world!

I'm coming down with a really bad cold and feel gross and it's hard for me to breathe. I have practice for my sport and I can't go because I feel sick. My parents are getting mad at me because i'm sick

Im ready to just give up, no matter what everything is always my fault, yet I'm never able to express my feelings without them becoming invalidated by someone just because it's an inconvenience to them.....yet they say they love me...... I'm burnt out with my life I just want to be happy....

I'm tired. I just miss my mom and grandma who made me laugh and happy. If I tell my feelings to my dad, he will get angry and not understand how I feel. I just wanna rant to some one or I just want to die sometimes but I don't like the feeling of dying. I'm angry yet kind of sad. If I cry over small things I get called sensitive. My dad calls me skinny, and I'm already a bit insecure of it. My family is fucked up, I'm fucked up as well. My life is just mid yet, a bit boring. I want a small blade to cut my skin.My dad calls me words, meanwhile my mom doesn't and I'm happy because of that. I just want my loved ones back.

My mom got arrested this morning I was really hoping to find someone to talk to

Today I literally had a melt down at work while in a meeting. I have endured a lot over the years there and the final straw for this week was actually the fact that people think they can say what they want to say, be smart mouthed under their breath and then try to point the finger at something I then therefore supposedly didn't do or did do in reaction to their BS making me out to the a bad person. I am not the type of person that goes running to the manager for every little thing, but it is clearly looking as though that is what I need to do. Mind you I simply go ghost silent on you to avoid altercations that are twirling around in my headfirst off. But that somehow turns into they are the victim in this scenario. People are so full of shit and cannot just stop starring stuff and popping off at the mouth and being intitled because of their title or want to be in charge and tell people what to do or just plain out be racist undercover. Can we all just to they damn job at hand an MYB!

I fucking hate every single thing in this world right now. With the geopolitcal issues led by manbabies, to the fucking AI slop easily draining brains right now with the fucking crap people consume nowadays. Are we just headed to this capitalist doom? Are we this fucking hopeless? Fuck everything honestly, the fucking future is so bleak. I'm so sorry for being negative but every single thing now is much harder than before, from applying jobs that aren't real to fucking inflation sucking my wallet dry. Fuck this

I feel a bit hopeless. I been college four years wasting from a pharmaceutical to a nursing. Then dropped due to not passing the clinical. I know my parents don’t blame me for the situation but my mother even though she is loving and caring even says she feels stressed for my future. I pretend to act strong in front of them. I just feel like I can’t express myself to anyone. I either act too sensitive. I just feel better when I am alone I feel like I can’t express. I feel like I can breathe when I am alone and be myself when no one’s around. I have a great family it’s just I never feel comfortable talking about my sadness or if I had negative thoughts. They would just try to say you need to think positive. That’s why I couldn’t open to my parents. Especially my mother. I feel like I make things complicated if I do and she wouldn’t understand.

I have a husband and children, but I am not free to form my own family. I hate my older sister, my younger sister, and my mother. I want them to DISAPPEAR. I am tired of being their trash can. I am tired of always being told to give in. No one wants to listen to me. I have no place here. I am always BLAMED.

please explain why i feel this way: like i feel like i just have no place on this earth bc ppl wanna fuck it up like why is it when ppl see you minding your own GODDAMN BUSINESS their tiny ass brains goes “oh look who think she is better than everyone” or “oh i wonder what is wrong with her she is too quiet” ORRRR “Hey what is your deal your being to quiet you look like someone told you off” and in my brain I'm like DID YOU EVER CONSIDER I WANNA BE LEFT THE FUCK ALONE FOR ONCE OR I JUST DON'T WANNA BE BOTHERED WITH YOU!! LIKE DAMN LEET ME FUCKINGGGG BE JUST BECAUSE I'M QUIET DOESN'T MEAN I'M PLOTTING THE DAY YOU DIE OR SUM I AM PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT KILLING MYSELF BUT NO ONE CARES RIGHT???BC I AM JUST A DUMB LOSER WHO CAN'T BE ALONE OR BOTHERED FOR NOTHING IT IS LIKE EVERYTHING I DO IS A FUCKING PROBLEM... i just wish people understood what life is like for me everyday and i just wish i could've stopped my parents that night when they went out bc i could have prevented them get killd

I'm so tired of going through life, being dragged around and basically slammed into things, I'm sick of my parents who are just... My dad is okay with people being deported, and is just generally kind of unpleasant to be around sometimes, my mother has gotten angrier over the years, and all I've done is watch them be these ways, unable to really talk back, In fact I've been such a *good*, *quiet*, son to them that I can't FUCKING SCREAM OR YELL ANYMORE. I hate being their "perfect" child. While I haven't set any track records or own my own business, I'm "normal" to them. They treat my differently because I didn't just come from my mother, that I haven't really shown signs of "pretending to be a girl" or whatever the fuck they're on about these days. I hate myself for sometimes using Ai chatbots it's just... It's one of the few things that shuts off my brain, lets me stare and write and read absolute slop for a couple hours. I know how bad it is and I want to stop, what would help?

Is it just me or do things just stop making sense like I used to be great at math and I would excel in most subjects but now everything feels overwhelming and jumbled even though I try to get help but it doesn't solve anything so now at 1:09 AM I am trying to decide if I should kill myself or suck it up and try to get through another day of school even though I am falling behind not moving just stuck like I accidently stepped in quick drying cement, or is this normal? the stress the pain or simply the free of being humiliated because I am struggling when everyone is doing fine or should I just wait keep counting reasons to stay or ignore them all and end it?

I just want the relationship to be how it was when we first met. So much shit has happened and I just feel like it’s going to work out

Lately, I feel like I've been giving too much yet too little. I've done enough for my friends, paying food, sharing stuff, buying them gifts, writing them letters, and comforting them, yet, they never do the same thing to me. They're always focusing on other people or their love-life, despite the fact that I've been there since their vulnerable times. I've written 34 letters, to someone who prefers to spend time with other friends and "crushes." Most of them had awful relationships, and I was there. I promised myself that I wouldnt return to my old habits, aka. Ghosting or cutting off someone, but it's getting hard to resist, especially since I'm sensitive, and help them most of the time. And only till now, I realized, none of them, even my favorite, would do the same for me. Should I even cut them off? They seem like good people, but they don't give me enough attention or treat me the way I treat them all the time. I'm starting to doubt them and my friendships.

I might give up soon. Ive tried to ask for help but I think its just going to end like this... I dont think I matter to anyone enough for them to want me to stay here. I dont know if I want to leave...but whats the point if not one cares about you? All I want is to feel loved and to know im wanted. I might just do it, I might give up. Its not like anyone would miss me that much. Even though I want someone to tell me they'd miss me more then anything. I want someone to tell me they love me, truely and I want them to tell me that im worth something. If everyone woke up tommorow without me there im sure the grief wouldn't last very long. I want to believe it would, but i feel like im just nothing... I want someone to tell me im not and tell me I am something but Its just not going to happen. If I dont wake up one of these days, then ill never get to grown up fully, get a job or do anything I slightly like.. but does it really matter that much? Does it matter if I weren't here tommorow?

i hate this bro i hate hating myself i hate who i ve become i hate how my only way of coping is cutting myself and music i want to live to have children and live by myself and finally eat what i want and to be free but i want to die i dont think i can live like this anymore

today is one of those days where it just was not your day, and what a better way to finish it than by breaking my fucking glasses. cant catch a fucking break fml

It frustrates me that most other women are having babies but I'm not

having a lot of intrusive thoughts right now. i just want them gone. i hate being mentallty ill.

I just didnt deserve what happened to me and I think that the people who wronged me get away with everything they do thats evil toward me.

so ig people would consider me a smart, positive and energetic person but honestly im js tired my self esteem is in the toilet and I take everything personally whether its about me or not. It's so dumb id want to talk to anyone about this because id want to be a burden to them so all my relationships feel superficial. My boyfriend told me im starting to act shy and kind of dry bc I genuinely cant hold a conversation properly anymore. Also nothing is stopping me from being vulnerable to people I genuinely trust and ik it can build relationships but again id want to burden them and idk why I cant js say it. id want to be energetic and positive and I feel like it would be so much easier if I didnt have friends, like no upkeep and id feel guilty if id meet up with them or reach out to them one day. this probably makes no sense but at least its written

is it ok if i talk about legitimately wanting to kill someone here because im so fucking mad o my lord shittttttttt i want to get this out somewhere but there's literally NO WHERE where i can talk about this shit oh my god "no violence, dangerous content, or threats" MY FUCKING ASS what i want to talk about keeps fucking spilling and i have to keep erasing what i type because i dont want to get banned off some random ass vent website or get reported to the police. im not going to kill anyone but people are probably going to think i am. i already havve fucking google suspecting me and constantly reminding me that they have my ip (i really should get a vpn) and i dont need EVEN MORE but my lord. I have to get it out. i suppose this rant about having a lack of having a space to vent already constitutes as a vent but oh my goddd oh my lorddd i have to get this shit out. i cant use a notebook because my family is probablby going to see it and google docs cause im paranoid. shitttt shit shit
