Why do you lament about your miserable lives here instead of doing something to change them?

Please be honest with your answers.

What an absolutely presumptious statement. Some people come here because they have no one else to talk to, absolutely nowhere else to go. They vent out their frustrations because like minded people can relate to them. How do you know whether they are doing something about it or not ? It’s not your place to generalize. In doing so, you have managed to demonstrate a level of arrogance parallel to none.

Because some of us have busted our asses trying to find a way to change our situations but nothing is working. We are in tough situations and dont have anyone. Dont judge, or else one day you might be in this exact predicament.

@DearAmbellina2113 @DearAmbellina2113 Medicaid covers all ages up to 65. then medicare takes over. just have to have income of 15,000 a year or less. 😺

@trackboy I get denied when I apply for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
trackboy · 22-25, M
@DearAmbellina2113 @DearAmbellina2113 ask them why your being denied. here your edible if single and income is 15 grand or lower. higher if your married. look for a Medicaid advocate. usally a community health care place will have one. they provide care on a sliding scale depending on how much you make. if the advocate finds they been illegally denying you coverage then they can go after the state for violating the law and require the state to cover your back bills. 😺
It's better to light one candle than complain about the darkness.

Doing something, anything, about your troubles gets you closer to an answer. I figure that venting on here does the soul at least some good to let it out and vent. But if a person does Nothing, they can expect Nothing.



Even little kids instinctively know and act on this basic tenet.

Some of us have tried a number of things to improve our lives but haven't yet found anything that works. Sometimes we get frustrated and discouraged and need a little support, or a place to vent a little. And in times of confusion, we sometimes need to bounce some things off other people, who can see things a little more clearly because they are able to be more objective, so we can actually understand what's going on. Because we first need to see the truth of what's actually happening before we can decide what to do about it.

And yes, I include myself, especially in that last bit. I think I've finally reached the point where I'm done venting, or "lamenting" as you say, and I'm ready to do something about it. But I had to work through a lot of confusion and other stuff to get there.

And sometimes, even when we know that crying doesn't really help things, it still hurts. Just picture a kid who has fallen and skinned his/her knees. The kid knows that crying won't make the wound heal any faster, but they still need to cry, at least for a bit. Adults have their moments when they need to do this too.

I hope that helps.

You're doing the same thing. You are whining about whining except that you choose for them to be your problem.
@Miram "whining about whining" lol

@5thApprentice omg i didnt notice that until you mentioned it
morrgin · F
What's the fun in that? Seriously though I think some are seriously victims, many are looking for support, quite likely a few who are lonely, others probably conceited, some are martyrs, some have learned helplessness, others might just be bored, etc.
Wifebeater · M
@morrgin I asked about you. Not others.
morrgin · F
@Wifebeater me? I don't think I do it very often. When I do I think its to vent. I dont have anywhere else to go that lets me say whats on my mind as much as i want to.
Wifebeater · M
@morrgin Fair.

Im a loser incapable of change.

Did you know everyone is capable of change ? It may seem gradual, but it sure is possible. @NeuroticByNature
Wifebeater · M
@NeuroticByNature That's not true.
@NeuroticByNature No. You're not. Find a reason to get up in the morning, otherwise one day you'll wake up and believe that's true.
Gees are you on drugs.
