How bad are your holidays this year? (lemm.ee)

Not looking for pity. But if you are having an awful December holiday, you aren't alone. This may be a chance to unload. I'll start.

My apt was flooded with rain 4 days ago, at ground level. For 4 days, my studio apt, carpet has been soaking wet, footsteps squishing, like stepping in a puddle. Property management wont do anything, hope I can talk sense into them before the floorboards rot and cave in.

You? It's OK, you're not alone.

Wallowing in a pit of misery, drinking problem at the worst it's ever been (first sober night after spending the last 5, 6 nights drinking), feeling completely apathetic towards life, and I don't have anything to show for over two and a half decades spent on this planet. Ain't taking my life here, but boy is it hard to find a reason not to these days.

Don't care for anybody's pity right now, but hopefully the rest of you can have as pleasant a holiday season as possible, and that y'all's 2024 leads to a better, brighter for all of ya and your loved ones.

I feel about the same. Too much drinking.

My kids live out of state. I have to make a 170 mile roundtrip to accommodate my GF and her adult kids.

I wish people would just leave me the fuck out their plans so I could stay home.
