Your worst year? Name it, and why.

Mine was 2020. Even though my dad passed away the year before(actually 3 years ago as of yesterday), 2020 was the worst--lockdown, many deaths of people I admired(such as Neil Peart of Rush), unexpected job loss, death of my gf's dad, even a power failure on Christmas Eve...like we couldn't even have that, 2020 had to f*** everything up.

2015 💔 it was the worst my mental health had ever been and I was in hospital , I nearly died from an suicide attempt and I had nobody. I had one friend but she didn’t understand me so we hardly hung out , I was horrible to her and now I’m trying to make it up to her. I got expelled from school and I was homeschooled, I had no escape and my dad abused me physically and mentally , I was into alcohol , I ran away , got into trouble with the police , I had an eating disorder that bad I didn’t eat i only drank , I tried to end my life over 10 times , I self harmed , I failed all my exams , I never got to go on holiday or out to do fun things , I slept in an damp bedroom I had to sleep In my coat it was that cold and damp , I can’t remember anything happy from that time expect for the fact I got free horse riding lessons and I used to volunteer most weekends at the stables , I loved that and that’s all I had going for me at the time. That saved my life.

2021; toxic family bs came to a head

2011

Working in a miserable job that averaged 50-60 hours but only being paid for 40.
Had my identity stolen and spent months and years cleaning that up. Every day I received several pieces of mail "congratulating" me on the new CC or line of credit fraudulently opened.
In the midst of a property dispute with my neighbors that had us suing each other over "2 inches of tax payer property" as my POS shit neighbor put it...
Dealing with stress related health issues due to all this, lower gi issues, not sleeping, chronic neck pain.

😣 must be either 2014 or 1980 the first was my dad died suddenly it took us as a family a long time to recover and get back on our feet .the second one was i left school and took on an apprenticeship was i knew deep down was wrong for me and the bullies i got rid of when i left school where there . so i only subsequently only lasted six weeks [uncalled]

2008. I lost too many people in just one year and that feeling of sorrow was so intense, I still haven't come to terms with it. And i still don't know how to deal with death. + I had to deal with parents who kept telling me that I was not depressed and did not need any help I was "just a teen" (I was diagnosed with bipolar a few years later)

This year. I realize that my body is aging and is not in the "Idc it's gonna heal" age range no more. And had to start to actually put effort into maintaining my health. Painful part is that, I'm playing catch up.
Sigh. Hope to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel, by the end of this year.
Several bad years
2017 when my mom died
2005 when my niece died
2013 when dad died
2014 when my dog got put to sleep
2020 when I got covid, got it really bad.
2018 when the hub was in a car wreck
2022 when we got rear ended and I fractured my sternum
I'm ready for better years now...

Been having stomach problems and a lot of joint pain for over a year. Finally found the right doctor but not what i ever thought my issues were. Admitted to the hospital with gastroparesis (essentially a paralyzed stomach) learned i would need a feeding tube the rest of life for nourishment. Wound up with colon issues and now have an ileostomy

I remember the loss of Neil Peart. I saw Rush 3 times in the 70s and he was amazing on an encore of the “Hemispheres” tour.
Sorry to hear about your rough patch.

1990, my grandad died, my dog died, I had a leg in plaster for months and had to have surgery on my foot on the same leg that was already in plaster for other reasons.

Closely followed by 2004 to 2006 when I was ill for two years solid and barely ate or slept.
