Hey I write this because for the first time in my 22 year life i am depressed... I don't seek answers or advice.. I just want to know someone is listening at least.. I just recently felt the full result of my dad dying of cancer when I was 8. I am now 22 but the story starts from when I was 8… My dad left my mom a a widow so she worked 2-3 jobs most of her life to support me and my brother.. She did all she can to support me financially though my lifelong dream of being an animator surely didn't please her.. So when i turned 18 and got into the art school of my dream my life was SO FUCKING EXCITING.. All the nights ive spent just drawing a stupid squirrel (My main character in my animation) paid off! So freshmen year was great.. I learned so much about life in general but as soon as it was over my mother says that she may need me to come back home to support her financially because she is struggling with rent.. I without a doubt said yes.. My mom never in her life asked for my help and the one time she did i was not going to say no.. THat was when i was 19… now i just turned 22 and where the fuck is my life going now.. My mom for the last year hasnt worked due to a work related injury(YEARS OF LABOR has put a HUGE toll on her body). My brother is now in college and studying (Im so happy for him) and im stuck with two jobs and living with my mom so i could pay for my brothers college bills and his phone, my moms rent so she wont be homeless and all utilities.. My fucking life long dream is now shattered and me being the elder son and the man of the family due to my fathers passing many years ago this was my fate.. My fate was for me to create the smoothest and easiest path for my brother to succeed however he wants to.. I was never supposed to have a dream or ambition.. I am a mere stepping stone and i am having a hard time accepting this though i already have..

...

please.. anyone

sorry

thanks for reading

thanks for reading man...

Downsize?

>dream of being animator

lmao nothing of value was lost

Ur 22 bro. You are a kid. Think about what you could accomplish if you work hard every day for the next 20 years? And even then 42 is still young. Get some viagra, bang all the hookers you want, 42 could be very enjoyable. Get some perspective friend, life will shit on you. This wasn't the first time nor will it be the last. Keep steady and move forward.

And bang hookers. Hookers fucking loved being banged. I try to just get blow jobs from them, but because they are such sluts they beg me to bang them. Hookers are fucking sluts.

tl;dr: get money, bang hookers.

Tell your brother to get off his ass and get a job.

My Dad past away with cancer as well when I was 7. I'm sorry, it hit me hard later in life too, I lost my sense of self. You have had it hard, and you're still fighting. Set your ambition high if you want to suceed, so what you love in the little free time you have to build up to something you can produce. An amature animator still has a skill someone would hire.

kek

This.

Honestly man I feel you. I'm 20 and was raised by my single mother (also have a younger sister) and she's unable to work currently and I'm just getting my sit together.

The best thin you can do is keep doing what you're doing and don't let the dream die. Come up with as many cartoons as possible and try to sell them to YTV or something

Jeez that must be rough. Hang in there dude. If you're able to do animations or drawings for money, I suggest doing so because you'll be doing what you love while helping your family at the same time

You're really doing all you can. Honestly you should have a talk with your brother about whether he should get a part time job to help ease your workload

Thanks for reading and the advice man.. I havent drawn in like 6 months.. maybe i should start again

No man is a failiure who has friends

I cant have him work his first year of college... I rather him feel NO burden and me having to carry all of it than sharing it with the family

Uuuuh, what?

Have your mom apply for all the aid niggers get.

Thanks for reading everyone.. I might go to sleep easier tonight

I understand your frustrations. I lost my job when my twin boys turned 6 months old, while my wife continued to work, her mother could no longer watch them and none of my family members wanted to lift a finger to help watch them so i could go went back out to look for work. Even then, her own mother was charging us 800$ a month to watch her own fucking grandchildren and my own mother didny want ti watch them either and wanted alot of money also. Was still cheaper than a day care. I decided i would stay home and raise the kids till they got older and since they were premature, they were delayed on certain things like speech, walking, some motor skills etc. I had to also stay at home to attend speech and some other type of therapy for their learning disabilities durinf the time. Now they are fine and going to school. They are now 3 yr old now. I havent been able to pay ny student loans and ready to go back out for work to my career as an aircraft mechanic amd have had no luck, 2 interviews and never called back. Im feeling extremely shitty and stressed. My career is down the drain...

wow.. im sorry user.. I wish as a 22 year old i can say something to make you feel better but just know i know what you are going through man,.. you are not alone

>2 interviews and never called back.

Nigga please. It's 2017. When I look for work I apply to at least 30 jobs a day. Usually only get hired out of 300 jobs I apply for.

World is run by dirty fucking jews. You gotta get motivated to make that scrilla.

Be happy u dint have kids and are still young. Im 32. I know u are going thriugh some shit helping your mom but at least youre a good son. Sorry about your father. I have mine, but im not really close to him even thought my parenta are still together. Lol weird life of mine. It is now 427am and i have to get up in less than 2 hours to get my boys ready for school. Then after they go, i usually try to apply for work, play a game, beat my dick then go back to sleep until they get off school and home by 415pm, same shit every day. .....

Growing up my dad was a crackhead/alchoholic who never paid me any attention. i cant count the beating ive takin from him. My mom was a really good parent but she eventually left me and my sister behind due to drugs with my emotionally unstable dad. As a result of the chaotic childhood i had i eventually dropped out and started abusing drugs myself. Now im losing my mind to stress watching my mom get back on speed after going to jail for 2 months and getting clean. Sorry about youre situation op sucks you missed out growing up with a father i feel you on that.

Helping your brother is also a noble cause. Just keep doing what you do until he finishes, and then you can share responsibilities which means you can go back to drawing your squirrel

user with the twins here... This is now a feels thread... Sorry about your life. What druga are u on? Are u seeking help?

Dude you are so fucking young, don't stress! I know this sucks to hear but things like this builds character.

Whenever I am depressed over my current living situation I try and tell myself that "This too, shall pass" and it feels a little bit easier.

So just know, that this too shall pass!

Cheers and take care of yourself. You won't be of use to either your mum or brother if you work yourself to death.

Currently coming down of adderall which i was put on as a child and withdrawing from a couple years of xanax.

I want to leave start my life over but have no money depression and crippling amxiety. Feel likke im on the verge of a seizure with lighting raping my entire fucking body

Damn, how old are u? Hang in there please dont hurt yourself. Do u have any friends or fam to talk to?

Personally, I think Trump is gonna use Congress's unwillingness to limit their terms as an excuse to extend his presidency past two terms, calling it a double standard. However, this will backfire as an old whithered Trump takes on the Obamatron who proceeds to shove his entire big black cock down Trump's throat as Vladimir Putin, on all fours, fondles his balls.

Im 19 i have a few people i hang out with n deal to but no real friends i can talk to my mom but it really hurts cas now she forgets things thinks people are watching her lying to me all the time. I shakng so hard rn have work in 5 hour s

There is a reason why artists are always depressed. You just happen to have LEGIT reasons.

You are the cuck that views political figure in a sexual manner.


Look up the definition of a cuck you cuck.
