new year made anyone else exponentially more suicidal?

[socksnsandles]

everyone else talking about "new year new me cant wait to get all my shit together" and im just over here like yeah i dont relate

 

[infiniteresignation]

i always feel much more suicidal after the new year because it reminds me that without intervention my life (and therefore my discomfort) is going to carry on lol... not to coopt your post w my experience i just mean yeah you're not alone. "new year more pain" imo

thats a great way of putting it

all the people saying that lack discipline and rely on motivation. even the motivation isn't from within; they're just hopping on an emotional bandwagon like codependent sheep. people who actually get their shit together almost never do it on a new years resolution, and they definitely never actually talk about it. i think a birthday is a lot more meaningful and relevant for the margin of people who need a date to put their foot down or whatever, but no one does those, since it's not universally hyped up and people rely THAT much on a collective mindset. they're gonna be doing the same shit as always by april (maybe february), just like we're gonna keep doing the same shit but without the theatrics.

yeah i don't bother with using dates anymore the reason people fail resolutions is the same reason they fail their goals, they haven't learned how to achieve them.

Yeah, I had this overwhelming urge to cry last night, but it wouldn't come out.

It did today, though, after an incident and it's like I got promptly reminded that things aren't going to change.

I woke up to a champagne glass I forgot I had left on my dresser, totally shattered all over my bedroom floor and that was for sure something I took as an omen.

 

[mushroommamma]

I know I went from "maybe things will be okay" to "I could probably make a purchase next payday" if you know what I mean

Makes me realise how quickly time goes, how little I've progressed in life. Death is mercy and I need it soon

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

Yup, I didn't want to enter into 2026 at all, it just feels completely wrong.

 

[badenddonuts]

new year's is usually a more hopeful time for me, but that feeling was noticeably absent this time around..normally i spend it with a specific person, but he hasn't been around. definitely the worst holiday i've ever had to date.

 

[davidtorez]

New year. New pains. Life sucks

 

[kunikuzushi]

yeah there's a pressure to have a fresh start. but I ruined the new year instantly. I've already ruined my relationship in the first day, and somehow it makes me feel more like a failure that I tainted the new year so quickly.

 

[boyafraid]

I feel like the holidays multiply all my issues by 10 lol. It's not great when I feel hopeless and misereable, just to see everyone else around being all happy/hopeful. Plus. I swore 2025 would be my last year and I even attempted but I'm still here sadly.

Precisely the thoughts I've been having for the past week. Holy hell. Thank you for sharing. That's the exact thought train I've been spiralling on.

Well said.
