Maybe crying is the key. Or maybe talking it out, or yelling at the top of my lungs or a walk in the park or nature trail? I am reaching my limits to I am seeing someone I don’t recognize.
Need advice.
I’m exhausted from constantly trying and still feeling like I’m falling behind
I feel like I’m getting close to my breaking point.
I’m drowning in this economy and constantly trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat, but every time I reach in, I seem to come up empty. Sometimes, it honestly feels like I’m cursed.
Has anyone else experienced this? You pursue entrepreneurship because you have dreams, ideas, and a genuine desire to build something meaningful. You do your research, remain diligent, and give it your best—but every path eventually leads to another roadblock or dead end. Then you have to backtrack, regroup, and start all over again.
The same thing happens with job opportunities. You go to school, earn a degree, gain experience, and do everything you were told would help you succeed. Yet somehow, there is still a ceiling on how far you can go or how much you are allowed to earn.
I have always had a deep sense of determination. I don’t like giving up. But sometimes it feels like life is playing a board game where the rules keep changing just as I begin to understand them.
It is exhausting, and lately, I have been wondering whether I still have the strength to keep starting over.
Part of me thinks, “Well, at least I tried.” I have tried to use my time and skills to make a positive difference. Every year, I volunteer and provide services for free. I make an effort to support small businesses before large corporations. I have become much more conscious about where I spend my money, especially because I have so little of it to spare.
Sometimes I think my ultimate dream would be to work for a philanthropist or an organization that is truly committed to helping people. Imagine being surrounded by work that is rooted in doing good—where generosity, creativity, and compassion are encouraged and become contagious.
I would love to wake up knowing that my work matters, that I can be creative, and that the money being spent is actually improving someone’s life.
Maybe that sounds unrealistic, but right now, I’m trying to hold on to the belief that there is still a place for someone like me—someone who wants to work hard, do meaningful work, and make a difference.
Has anyone else reached this point? How did you find the strength—or the opportunity—to keep going?
I have never experienced this before with anyone immediately in my family until my partner's dad. It has been a world wind. I didn't know how much it wears on you mentally. The progression is crazy. The thought that one day he knows who you are to, not knowing you in a few months. Worse is he is forgetting his children and siblings. He's physically declining as well. He was able to pick up a case of water to now, he can't lift anything that is 5 lbs or more. He constantly forgets recent conversations or the fact he just left his doctors office. He is now starting to forget when and how to use the bathroom. Its sad that he is like a zombie in the middle of the night. Constantly walking and repeating things. I mean literally he is up from midnight to 7 AM repeating the same steps. He changes clothes all the time. He thinks he's at work all the time. Its like a nightmare for him. He knows he was diagnosed with it before it took over his life. He wishes everyday that he would just die. Image hearing that 10-20 times a day. This disease is torture. Everything that was you, is being wiped away. Every person, every experience, Everything. Its like a sick reversal of benjamin button disease but for the mind. You are going back in time. One day I know he will just stop walking or eating. I heard they tend to forget to breathe. This experience is mind blowing and has taught me a lot. Health is wealth!
Anyone else experiencing this? What's the most craziest thing they have done and don't remember?
I truly miss the days of when chat groups by Yahoo and AOL was the "It" thing to discuss whatever. It didn't have all these rules and guidelines. And AI Bots that, all these complications that takes a 30 chapter novel book to read just to get 1 post approved. lol I know I am new at this but it has to be a dummy proof walk through version of using these type of platforms.
Question for members with subscribers.
How do I acquire more subscribers?
Background: I feel my Topics are relevant, educational and positive. Something that effects the 99%. That’s why its called The 99% Perspective. Is the algorithm attracting new users or existing users? Are members reading the materials or just care about subscribing to make their post grow?
Is it not controversial enough or is it?
Its seems like if you post something crazy, funny or hateful it spreads like wildfire but if you post something that is not it dies on the foot steps before ending the room.
The ironing is, when we sit at the dinner table we are talking about the same issues that effects the 99%.
Not to ruffle anyone’s feathers but doesn’t feathers need to shed in order to make room for new growth?
I welcome all feedback, let me know your thoughts.
