Well when you think shit cant get worse in your life... sometimes god just says "Oh, wait a min I can do better" So a little bit about me I am 25 still live in my parents home.. some of you are saying omg what a loser.. well I have 13 bulging disks in my back so slow your roll internet trolls.

I have had this problem with my back since I was 18 years old. It was never this bad till now I take a hard core pain blocker oxycodone.. been taking it since I was 22. Well lets say that it messed up my gut so that is a big problem anyway I wont go to into details. My family and I are barley surviving just staying a float with bills and so forth. I try my hardest not to spend any money at all. I do not go out and have a sick time with my friends ... I don't even drive anywhere in fear that I would waste gas that my parents need. If anything I ask friends to give me rides. I try my hardest like I said.

Finding a job right now is so hard its not even funny (Las Vegas) cant find SHIT to be honest have applied everywhere. I am not suppose to even work very hard jobs but I am throwing that to the wind because my family needs money. My mother just lost her job at a casino where she has worked for 10 years, because of a very, very dumb reason. In fact I will spare you the reason, to be honest that company is looking to cut anyone it can in order to hire part time people so they do not have to give out that many benefits *scummy fucks*. .

So now my family is FUCKED. I know some of you wont give a shit and that is fine. but I am so fucking mad and don't know what to do its insane right now. I am about to go insane just thinking about how the fuck are we are even gonna pay for rent this month ... cars ... food ... anything. So it looks like my gaming career is over not that I had much of one. That is the LEAST of my fucking worries.

This is pretty much a rant. Just the fact that I don't think I will be playing many games for a long time. Let me explain that if you have a good life, your depressed or just upset all the time because maybe you don't get one thing you think you need, just to relax and thank god for the shit you get everyday. I have always looked at kids that I knew were rich with parents that never made them appreciate shit..always thought man if I was that way I would want to shoot myself. I just wanna let the younger kids out there that read this to appreciate the fact your parents sacrifice a lot for you.

This is about it... I really don't know why i wrote this.. maybe I want someone who thinks they have nothing, who really has a lot to really look at there life and realize that they have everything they need. Because from what I know .. my family is fucked.

****

Hmmm... Canada has free-ish healthcare, and Alberta has tons of high-ish paying jobs. What are the requirements to get the healthcare?

You might just be able to move away and become self sufficient. Not much of a future for high paying jobs down this path, but you and your family could be happy.

bro I am sure you already know but Las Vegas has one of the worst unemployment rates in the damn country. Get out if you can because the jobs are not in Nevada.

There is always ways you can get out of despicable situations. Never stop trying and you will make it, I know it.

He has a point.

Wouldn't moving away to a place with more work somewhat lessen the burden? Cross borders seems like a bit of a stretch but the US is a big place.

I have 3 friends that got new jobs in the past 3 months or so. I live in las vegas, you just have to keep searching and not give up. The jobs are out there, they're just really hard to find.

You live in the US, are young, and have worked. Look into applying for disability if your pain is debilitating.

Thanks for this, I'm going through a tough time at university with exams and such, and it always helps to put things in perspective. I admire your perseverance and sacrifice.

I have applied 3 times for Disability and all the lawyers wont touch me because I am so young. (people I know that work for the government even tell me they wont give it to me.) My ex gfs cousin who is in a wheel chair and had disability they cut him lose for no reason the guy cant even walk.

People saying we should move not gonna help gotta have money to move. We live check to check guys that is the reality of this situation. I have applied for about 30 different jobs since last night. Some I know I cant do because my back limits me to lifting only 25 pounds. Just if your a praying man pray for me i don't even know if that shit works. But it sure as hell cant hurt us anymore if ya did.

I also wanna say thanks for the ppl telling me to keep going some words i need to see right now. Life is a rough bitch man.

Hey man,
I dont know how I could possibly help you, but from reading your post I can already tell that you are awesome. Why? It's easy. It's obvious that your life is not easy. You could just be like 'Fuck it' and not care anymore. You could rest it all on your parents shoulders and just dont care. But you dont. This makes you awesome and much better than 95% of all kids nowadays. Compared to you I live an easy life. It seems somewhat retarded from me to speak to you like 'everything's gonna be ok again', just because I dont know. But I hope it for you. I respect you and wish you all the best. I spent my 3rd anniversary with my gf today and you reminded me of how thankful I have to be for all this. Thanks!!
