Can I get a break...

[Moo2K4]

So I think I must be cursed, because I'm having an awful month and haven't had the best of luck over the course of the last yearish either.

So last summer...I lose my grandpa and a cousin.

Then I endure the worst winter in the history of Iowa.

Then we have the flooding, which sucked horribly.

Then in August, my dad was in the hospital for over a week, and I was terrified at that point that I was going to lose him.

Then in September, just a couple days before my birthday, I lost an uncle.

Just recently, my girlfriend of 2 and a half years broke up with me, which hurt worse than any of this and I'm still recovering from.

Now, to top all this shit off, we had to take my dad back to the hospital again last night and he's going to be there until at least Tuesday because he's having breathing complications.

Seriously....can I get a damn break?

 

[Legacy]

Damn, I thought I had it bad.

Just stay strong and pray throughout your tough times. Eventually you will get a break.

 

[JE]

That's shitty. Things will improve though.

 

[Moo2K4]

I've been saying it'll get better for a while now...but it only gets worse. I'm slowly losing optimism at this point.

But in the end...I do know that things will get better...it'd be nice to know when though, because I'm sick of this.

 

[rox fa sho]

keep yourself more occupied if you havent already. sry youre going thru a buncha shit. im kind of in a shitty situation aswell. just keep yourself occupied and think of how to improve things, and htink of how dope it'll feel when things get better. think positive.

this can keep you occupied for a bit... [video=youtube;eH2n-7b0UIs]

 

[huevonkiller]

Things can only get so bad, just stay positive that is an important mentality in one's personal life. Peace man.

 

[bbwMax]

Damn unlucky moo. Like most people on here all I can say is stay positive and my hopes and wishes go to your Father.

 

[Moo2K4]

Yea, I think things are going ok as far as my dad goes. I haven't heard anything and he's supposed to come home today, but I don't know if that happens.

Why? Because we got all sorts of ice last night. Yay. My car is literally a giant ice cube right now. I have a hunch that I will be staying home today and not going to work.

 

[tim]

Good luck man, you know we're thinking of ya.

 

[Moo2K4]

So my dad is still in the hospital, probably because of the crap weather we got Monday night. I went out to my car Tuesday morning and it was a fucking ice cube. I didn't even bother trying to go to work because I figured the roads would be absolutely awful. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, because I have a couple of checks in need of cashing and Midnight To 12 is playing an acoustic set nearby that I'd like to go to too.

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Hye, hope everything gets better for ya. You gotta keep your head up through everything homie, but I know you know that. Sorry I haven't been on AIM to find this stuff out sooner, my computer has been total shit. Take care of yourself and your father alright homie?

By the way, this morning/last night (well last night around 11PM, but this whole thing lasted til about 3AM), a family friend of ours passed away. It's been about 6 and a half years since I last seen someone die or a dead body of someone I knew, and it's pretty traumatizing. I had to be outside of the house alot to watch everyones cars cause we were all parked illegally just to be there with the family and make sure the husband is okay. Then the people from the mortuary came and took the body and everyone (we're talking adults in there 40s) were just breaking down, and I couldn't take it. It's tough. I'm currently at school right now, last day of the school year before finals, and I'm leaving, I'm not in the right mind set to be able to be in school right now. Just not feeling well right now.

 

[Hudge]

Dude, life sucks, but it can only get so bad, find something to believe in and it'll take you through, find escapist pleasure in anything you can, sports, video games, stuff like that, squeeze as much happiness as you can from absolutely everything that goes right, and most important of all, stay positive, it seems pointless at times, but it helps.

 

[Moo2K4]

So the reason why my dad wasn't released from the hospital is because there is apparently something else wrong with him. Apparently they found some type of virus or infection in the phlegm he hacked up. However, they have no clue what it is. Needless to say, he's still in the hospital and there's no time table for his release. Ugh. I hate life right now. At least I only have one day left before finals are over.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

How are things now?

 

[Moo2K4]

Well, things are better now. My dad was FINALLY released from the hospital today, so that's good.

Though, the weather is not cooperating. It's about -5deg outside right now, iced last night, and it's supposed to snow 3-6" tomorrow.

 

[huevonkiller]

Victory, finally. :]

 

[Moo2K4]

Victory, to an extent. Things could still get a lot better, but those are things I have to work on myself. The whole letting go of my 2.5yr relationship thing...I'm not doing that good of a job at that.

 

[lukewarmplay]

Good luck with your dad, man. Make sure he follows his doctors' advice.

 

[Hudge]

Talking to my friend last night, I realised that bad things come in clusters, so...yeah

 

[Agent_28]

Things will get better man, just gotta believe in your faith. And find something that does make you happy.

I don't know if you're religious or not, but I always believed the Lord will never put you in a situation which you cannot handle.

I know it sounds cliche, but just stay strong, man.

 

[Jurassic]

I don't know if you're religious or not, but I always believed the Lord will never put you in a situation which you cannot handle.

Yeah, there's a verse in 1 Cor 10:13, that says basically what you just said.

 

[Moo2K4]

I don't know if you're religious or not, but I always believed the Lord will never put you in a situation which you cannot handle.

I know it sounds cliche, but just stay strong, man.

Can't say that I am (kinda a mix of agnostic and atheist), but I do believe that everything happens for a reason, which is somewhat similar to that thought.

Whatever that reason is though, better be damn good, because this has been one really, really rough stretch I've had to persevere through over the last 15 months or so.

 

[thedude9990]

i lost my dad in april after he was hospitalised for 6 months, it seemed like shit never was going to look better throughout the time he was in the hospital and after his death. but the thing with it is, small shit doesnt seem to bother you as much. i'm sordof at a point where i don't see a reason for anything though, and im pretty emtionless.
