      2nd worse year for me but I am energized for the next one and gonna force this mf to be great

    2. I know this is probably going to sound awful, but this year went alright for me despite losing my mom in August.

      We didn’t have a strained relationship, we disagreed on quite a few things but other than that she was a great mom. The reason I say my year went alright, and something I didn’t even realize until she had passed, I was always stressed out about her health. She had a lot of problems and disliked hospitals, getting her to go see a doctor was a battle. I miss her, so much, and the month after was one of the worst of my life. But once I was able to get myself back up, I felt less weight on my shoulders.

      I know she’d be glad for that as well, she always hated me waiting on her and doing things for her. I haven’t said this to anyone I know, cause I don’t think I’d get anyone to understand.

      But beyond my own life, this year wasn’t much if any better than the last few so I understand the sentiment from everyone else in this thread.

    3. 2019: numb

      2020: numb and tired

      2021: numb, tired, stressed

      2022: numb, tired, empty

      2023: making plans (not the good kind)

      2024: therapy. I’m almost happy now, actually. How quickly things change…

      This is exactly how it’s been for me. I hope to progress past not bad and make this year good.

      Got kicked out of my friends group of 6+ years in 2024, but at least I started an interactive webseries, I guess.

      Glad it went well for you though

      This was literally my only good year TOOOOOOO

      TWINSIES GODDAMNNN 😭😭😭🤝

    7. Same for me! I finally am working on my mental health and feel hopeful for the future for the first time since childhood. I wouldn’t say it was a great year, but it’s the first good year I’ve had in a while. I’m hoping 2025 is even better!

    8. 2019 was pretty good

      2020 was scary because of covid but I played a lot at least

      2021 was exhausting

      2022 was okay-ish

      2023 was horrible

      2024 was on hardcore mode

      Pshhh, a lot of people are excited for the next four years… and me, I’m excited to see that excitement turn into regret lol

      Im very optimistic that I’ll be telling people, “You voted for this” a LOT. Schadenfreude is gonna flow in 2025 😆

    10. Honestly, I’m the most optimistic for a new year that I can recall since 2019. I’m starting the year off divorced, childless, making a respectable living, with not nearly as many expenses as last year, and in a house that’s mostly solid.

      Are there a few things that could be better? Obviously. But as a whole, things are finally looking up for me

      Same, after some serious problems with my choice in friends and priorities, 2023 was absolutely awful. 2024 gave me time to heal and work on myself more, and there are visible improvements. Hoping the same for 2025……..

      For me this is backwards, everything was fine but things just keep getting worse

    13. Everyone I’ve spoken to recently said 24 was one of the worst years they’ve ever had. I’m glad someone did well, hope it continues for you!

    14. RingReasonable on

      To be brutally honest, 2024 has been my worst year yet. I hope this year will be better

    15. 2020: shitty but know it’s going to worst (had it’s moments tho)

      2021: it got worse

      2022: depression + suddenly health starts declining towards end

      2023: still struggling with health then family member dies

      2024: health gets better but mental health dips to an all time low

      2025: trying to be optimistic.

      I really hope it’s my year. I’m looking forward to moving and starting fresh.

    16. Not to be a downer but for me, we lost Mufasa and Misty, got a fascist moron courtesy of the electorate, the holidays were harder than they’ve been in previous years, and my mother is apparently unaware she is enacting Cats in the Cradle. Oh and I live in Texas.

      So yeah. Thinking of moving to like Colorado maybe? Or maybe just skip a few steps and go to Ireland.

    17. “What’s the point of living?”

      **“I like pizza. I want to have more of it.”**

    18. 2024 wasn’t that bad for me, but the last few months were absolute hell for my mental and physical health.

      Hope I’ll get better during the next months.
