April has been the worst month I've ever experienced in the last year. In this month, my girlfriend dumps me and ruins my long weekend, I get a ticket for speeding while other cars are travelling at the same speed, I lock myself out of my place, and to top it off someone managed to steal money from my bank account. Can't muster the energy to get to the gym sleep.gif, i used to go everyday!

So, my girlfriend calls me up at 3am and breaks up with me at the beginning of my long weekend with little to no explanation. So of course this keeps me up. Now, this pretty much ruined my long weekend because now I'm constantly thinking about it and can't enjoy this weekend at all!

I'm driving home one night and a cop decides to pull me over going 20/hr over the limit, which everyone else was doing as well. I was almost home too!

I'm in a rush to get to work, and end up leaving my keys in my track pants.

Someone managed to get into my bank account and start withdrawing money while I'm sitting in my room browsing soompi forums. I still have my card on me and I also rarely use it. WTF!!


whats' your worst month?
gisbiz
^wow.. that sucks! hope things get better.

i wont go into details but yeah,
mine would be march & april of this year!
like, omg.. i just cant believe the things that's been happening..
besides the economy falling apart and everything,
it's just ridiculous.. i feel like im being punished or something?
PDURRR
i feel ya. i got a speeding ticket right infront of my goddam house at night too 2 weeks ago...going 15mph over the supposed limit of 25...fkkin aye.
still waiting for it to be processed so i can pay it off and go to traffic school and get it over with!

i hope you get your bank account problem fixed!! don't let that person take more money O_O

chilovesjj
Wow that sucks D: I hope you can sort out the bank account thing soon >o< Unlucky for the speeding ticket too. ]:

My worst month? December 15th 2008 - January 11th 2009.

I got pregnant in November (intentionally, s/o wanted a baby too). Then the economy collapsed. >___<;
Then, to make things worse, I started bleeding (constantly) on December 15th. Lightly at first, then it got heavier.

Spent the end of 2008 and the first week of 2009 in and out of hospital being scanned, poked, prodded and violated constantly,
in an attempt to find out what was wrong with me and my pregnancy and make sure it wasn't ectopic.. >__<
I was told to 'hope' for miscarriage because if it was ectopic I'd need keyhole surgery and could lose a fallopian tube o__0
I was in a lot of pain because my body was trying to miscarry and one of the male gyn's was really rough and made me cry T____T

Eventually, on January 7th (my 11 month anniversary with my s/o..) I haemorrhaged really badly but failed to miscarry.
The day after that my uterus freaked, and started spasming like crazy and I collapsed in agony and almost had to be rushed to hospital,
but mum's a nurse and had antispasmodic pills to hand.
Eventually miscarried on the 11th, days before I was scheduled to go and have an operation to remove it manually.

And then I felt really miserable and cried everyday for about another month. Especially when I saw babies and pregnant women. sad.gif

Aish. T______T

My mum was talking about it the other day and suddenly burst into tears and was like 'I'd have done anything to take that away from you,
it was so horrible seeing you having to go through that T__T' :[ <3
LisaHijure
uhmm .. I'd have to say that my worst month was a few months ago where everything just kind of fell appart.. 2 of my family members became
very ill, I lost my job, my house and my car. THings were looking pretty down .. However i just started getting back on my feet ! New winds always
blow your way. =)

Oh my goodness.
I am so sorry! You went through so much physical and emotional pain.
I hope you recover soon<3

Mine was...... May 2005.
I was just going through depression.
But I am SO over that (:
tlydia
For me, middle of 2008 and early 2009 was the worst for me. I went through alot mentally, physically, and emotionally. It was to the point I always felt tired and drained.

So far the start of this year hasn't been very good for me. Actually if i think about it its been down right rather infelicitous, and it all pretty much relates to this girl at school, who for some unknown reason can make me feel so insecure about things. I just feel dejected because i have been trying so hard lately, but no one honestly appreciates the efforts

Hey! I had money taken out of my account too at the beginning of the month... it was about $300 charged from a "pizza.nu" which google told me was some pizza restaurant in Europe somewhere. I put in an unauthorised transaction claim in with the bank but I couldn't get the money back because I hadn't registered for some free "verified by VISA" service that VISA runs (what a load of crap). Afterwards I saw on the news that some card skimming scam is happening all around the country and millions have been charged from locations around Europe. Makes me lose all confidence in using ATMs.

-edit-
I just went to the bank's website and complained about them lying about protecting their customers from fraud and zero liability for unauthorised transactions policy laugh.gif, though they'll probably find some fine print somewhere that tells me otherwise.

i don't think mine even really qualifies as being that bad but still...

This january I went over to korea, ostensibly for a week and a bit with my brother, going snowboarding, then celebrating the lunar new year and australia day in out own style... ie getting painfully drunk

Anyway, the first day up the mountain I crash into a girl who for some stupid reason was stopped in the middle of the slope. Having collected her, we slid down the slop for about 10 metres or so... on my back. This had the unfortunate side effect of grinding my back into the snow and subsequently the ice. The ice opened a gash about a foot long and 3 and a half inches in my gluteus maximus completely severing it. Lost about a litre of blood in the process. Almost 10 hours after the crash, I was operated on. Took 2-3 hours i guess to sew me back up. 17 stitches on the outside, who knows how many on the inside. After that it was another 2 weeks in hospital in Seoul and then the actual week of holiday i was there for. I was on crutches for 2 months, ended up being off work for 6 weeks.

hmm =( that sucks these past two weeks have been heel and back for me =D

I guess for me, my worst month was probably September 1990. That was the month I was sweating whether the US would implement a draft for the first Gulf War and if I would be a candidate.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! *faints*. My goodness I hope everything turned out okay man that is NASTY. Be thankful for what you do have mate, indeed you should.

Worst month ever... the last seven years, basically.

I got sick with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity when I was sixteen and I'm almost 23 now. To summarize VERY shortly, I somehow graduated from high school, but I had to move about 15 times looking for a place to live that wouldn't make me sick. I gave up a $52,000 scholarship to university, in fact dropped out of university three times due to severe episodes. I was stuck in a room by myself, unable to go out, to meet people, to touch another human being, or to sleep at night, in constant excruciating pain, for the majority of the last seven years. Didn't know what was wrong for the first three, so I went to constant know-nothing doctors and now I hate them all. smile.gif

The worst month though, that was December 2006. My dad got transferred to the middle east for his job (works for ExxonMobil) and they sprayed pesticides in our compound three times within three months. By December I wasn't sleeping, wasn't wearing clothes, and spent all my time hunched over in excruciating pain. 100% of my skin was like a burn victim's - oozing constantly, with no top layer. I was very close to dying. The company medically evacuated me to a clinic in Dallas, Texas where I spent the next 7 months.

Thank God, after a lot of very difficult treatment, things are much better now, and I hope to start university again in three weeks. I can't wait. smile.gif But I'll never be the same person I was. Still, I feel like I've gained a lot from the hardship I went through. (Although it took me a while to come around to that way of thinking, lol. Much easier to say it now.)

i'm gonna guess that you take the crown for this one....

sorry for your loss but hopefully your body is still capable of reproduction.

how old are you if you don't mind my asking?
chilovesjj
^thankyou, (: my doctor said that I should still be able to have a healthy pregnancy in the future, even though the miscarriage wasn't straightforward. She gave me some advice on things I can do to minimize my risks in the future so I hope next time things will be ok.

I'm only 21, which admittedly is quite young to be settling down and having children, but it's something that both my partner and I wanted and felt ready for (well, as ready as you can feel, since I think you never really know exactly what you've let yourself in for until you are actually a parent!). I guess at least I still have a lot of fertile years left in which to try again. My s/o's mum told me her sister had a miscarriage in her first pregnancy, and went on to have like, 6 or 7 kids!

In hindsight it would have been bad for us financially if the pregnancy hadn't terminated itself, though, painful as it was. My work contract ended around New Year (they'd considered extending my contract but I guess all the complications with my pregnancy made them decide against that..) and because of the recession, hardly anyone is hiring so I've only just recently managed to get a few interviews for jobs, I've had no luck at all the past few months. I want to make sure we definitely have enough money and more secure jobs next time around. smile.gif

every month following the last month for the last 2 years have been the worst month of my life. ever since i've started my this job, i've been stressed out and pushed to the limit over and over. it's so frustrating that even though i put in 12-16 hours a day to work the skills that i need for my job, after 2 years it's still not enough. in fact, my progress seems going negative! and this month has been so stupidly bad.

everyday i have to think about my future in this business. if i quit, i'm screwed because there's no other alternative for me. if i keep going, will i make? or will i just be wasting my life, and get screwed then?

i wished i knew how to gave up.
i wished i was an ignorant idiot and fricking accept the blueprint of life like everyone else.
i don't want my ambition. just take my individuality!

i've been stuck in life's crisis for.. 7 years... wow. i really shouldn't have counted that.

i wished i knew how to relax. i wished i knew what happiness was.
i wished i was good at my job so that i could resume my life and make up all those years.
i wished i had all this weight, ticking timeclock and the grim reaper off my back.

....

i wished i had a genie. =)

My bank account got hacked a couple of months ago...was it February. I check my bank accounts and credit cards every morning (since I DO shop online all the time), and that morning was I in for a surprise. The vender said Myspace.com (I know...that's what I said) and had withdrawn I think it was $3600 dollars in 4 separate purchases. I think my heart literally stopped and time froze because I remember my mouth dropping and not breathing for minute. When I collected myself I called my bank..Regions...if you're in the South stay away from them!! I knew I should have switched all my accounts when AmSouth merged with them, my dad had told me the crappiness of them already. Anyway, when I called they said they couldn't handle claims over 600$ on the phone. I went to the bank immediately hoping they'd put a stop on the charges. So this lady tells me word for word, "there's nothing we can do until the pending transactions clear the system (meaning: they get the money anyway). After they clear you can file a dispute, which will take 10 days to clear before the money will be reimbursed. Then another two months while the investigation goes on....But you won't get charged any overdraft fees...." dry.gif mad.gif fury.gif

I remember exactly what she said because I wanted to punch her when she said it. My other bank wouldn't even had let it get that far, they call people immediately when they suspect fradulent charges because they monitor your banking closely, any sudden changes they're on the phone. That I know because almost all my friends also bank there and have experienced that. I don't think I slept well or really knew what I was doing 'til my money was returned...The lady took my card and never gave me a new one, which is okay, I'm done with them. Something else happened in that time frame...but I can't remember, so it probably wasn't nearly as bad as having my money stolen. I spend but I'm stingy so that was crazy for me. All the better now, I use PayPal Plug-in/Paypal to make 90% of all my online purchase now. According to my friends though I was amazingly calm about the whole thing...wish they could have seen me inside!

yeah you and I both you think that's bad

Two weeks ago not only was i told I was FIRED by some jerk or a manager but in the same day I was in a car accident. My car was F#!king total by some jerk who wasn't paying attention to the damn road. My car is RED I was at a stop. According to him he was to busy playing with his radio and didn't see that my vehicle was at a DEAD stop. Kids were getting off a bus in the sates of Florida the other two lanes to the right unless there is a divider must stop. So I obey the law but the guy behind me didn't. Smack the back of my vehicle and I hit another car in front of me. My car was the only car that got total. I was so mad cause my mom was in the car with me and she has back problems. I wanted to beat the hell out of that guy cause I'm out of a damn car and a job. So I'm going to college now. I figure I can't find job so I'm collecting unemployment checks but i should put my a$$ through college and earn my degree in criminal psychology. there is some good in the mess up that i'm in.

It's shocking to hear that it took 3 years for doctors to properly diagnose your sickness. Of course I don't know what MCS is nor how rare it is, but it's just hard for me to process that long of a period in time that you were just suffering and didn't know why. On the other hand, it's great to hear that you're doing better now and going back to school. You've got some catchin up to do smile.gif

I think most of us take for granted that we can do all the things most other people can do and don't realize most of the time that there are others out there who would kill to just be "normal". Your story is certainly a motivational one and I wish you the best of luck in the future. I'm sure karma will even itself out wink.gif
Lil'Hazel
So sorry to hear your stories all...
But um, I think my worst year would be this year, this past few months and even now..
I just graduated and seemed to have no luck in scoring myself a job.
Mom's been telling me off for not being able to pass the interview and said that all the money she paid for my degree was a total waste and that I am just not talented enough to be working with people with a good 'position' and not able to talk myself pass all interviews..
Ahhh..I dont think I can handle another job rejection. It's been way too much and I think I've had enough...But mom went ballistic on me...I knew she's so disappointed but I cannot seem to find the luck in getting myself employed. Then mom kept on comparing me with a friend of mine who got a good job and her comparison really kills me.
Hope I can get through this...*fingers crossed*

Yeah our medical system is... not as great as it thinks it is.

It's true, one thing that's changed for me is that I no longer take anything for granted, even small things that I never used to notice before. It's a cliche that you don't appreciate something until you lose it, but it's so true. That's one of the things I think adversity can teach us... whatever kind of hardship it is. To be more grateful for what we do have - and to have more sympathy for those that have even less than we do.

Thanks for the good wishes. I hope that for everyone that posted, things get better soon. Nothing ever stays the same, which can be a comforting thought. smile.gif

let me see... the worst YEAR(S) for me was 2007-2008.!
although that was the year i graduated from high school, i encountered a lot
of personal issues at home. my father became ill and could barely walk. he made
numerous trips to the hospital while i was at school worried about him.
it goes up and down...up and down.... surprisingly, i graduated high school.!

as i went to college (too risky for me to attend college out of town/state/country),
i struggled again because the same thing was happening with my father. by the end of
2007, i end up quitting my part time job because it was too stressful for me.
and as it goes throughout the year of 2008, my father, a loving father, has left me and my
family behind on November 17, 2008....
that caused my grades from college to drop so bad that i appeared to be part of the
academic probation list.! (so not cool).

and now, i'm trying to get myself back on track and start again.!
(sorry, if anyone thinks it's too personal. just me, expressing. *sighs*)
`faded
worse month? probably april...

it started off with an awesome birthday weekend and it went downhill from there..but i'm holding my head up...

my mom passed away 4 days after my birthday due to a brain anueryism and I had spring break the week before april, so I got to see her but that was the last time I would ever see her besides the funeral. After flying back home for a week..I came back with a CRAZY amount of school work that had to be done..so I dropped a class cause I couldn't handle it..not to mention during those past few days and weeks I was at home..other students on campus also had some sort of death in their family...so it's been a crazy time..That week as well my friend cheated on his girl *another friend of mine* and the girl was going through some crappy times..yaaa I've been struggling through it..like I don't feel like studying anymore..I don't know what to do with my future..once a week I would cry..and stuff like that =/..but my head's been up most of the way...thanks to friends and family

My worst month? Every current month. It doesn't help the fact that I'm an absolute john tesh up. That's why I'm in the position that I am now. Everyone else around me thinks I have a golden opportunity and that I've made a good decision, but seriously, I'm in denial. I have to force myself to feel like I'm enjoying myself just so that I don't spoil everyone else's time. Studying, independent management, it's all good (except the physiology terms), but I'm lacking the social life. I am downright bored. It doesn't help the fact that I can barely communicate with anyone. I feel like an old-timer that's lost his cool a long time ago. This year is so far my worst. I have a laundry list of peeves that I won't bother with right now, but can a meteor just fall on me or something? It's driving me nuts.
Raito!
my worst month is this month bc of:

jury duty (stay there for 6 hours while being bored out of my life)
sooo much spending (spent around $1200 in creditcard bill and $350 in cash)
missed 2 days of work (broke!!! broke!!! broke!!!)
co-worker starting to piss me off (hate hate hate!!!)
have a crush on one of my female coworker and its been killing me (frustration, stress, nervous, cant concentrate !!!)

=__=;;

Not the WORST month, but April was pretty bad. School has always been easy to me but this year was different; I must not be very good at juggling school and work at the same time, I don't know. April 18 was bad because I had two exams that day that I really needed to do well in (which I did). I was on campus for 14 hours. I must not have had enough sleep or something, but I misread a question on my exam and only realized I made that mistake 2 hours after I had left it. I immediately called my professor to tell him about it, not sure what that would achieve, left a voice message on his answering machine because of course he would not be in his office. He called me back the next day to reassure me my mistake was minor and wouldn't affect my mark which was a load off of my shoulders. April 22 was terrible because I had a 9 hour shift the day before (3pm-12am) and two exams in classes I was doing excellently in, no sleep and I had eaten 5 donuts, a whole package of dumplings, two pieces of salmon, a muffin, a tea biscuit, half a cucumber, carrots, several cups of tea and coffee and god knows what else I put in my mouth that day. What was awful about that day was that I was just so worn out, I didn't care very much for my exams and finished both under 30 minutes (which I regret because I was doing so, so well in them and ended up with good grades STILL, but not as good as they should have been). And then I found out that the exam I wrote on April 9 was a BOMB because I only wrote 4 of the 10 questions. I don't even know how to explain how I misread THAT exam. Really upsetting because I sabotaged myself!

So the lesson learned is that I should not work during exam time because I suck at it.

Worst month ever... the last seven years, basically.

I got sick with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity when I was sixteen and I'm almost 23 now. To summarize VERY shortly, I somehow graduated from high school, but I had to move about 15 times looking for a place to live that wouldn't make me sick. I gave up a $52,000 scholarship to university, in fact dropped out of university three times due to severe episodes. I was stuck in a room by myself, unable to go out, to meet people, to touch another human being, or to sleep at night, in constant excruciating pain, for the majority of the last seven years. Didn't know what was wrong for the first three, so I went to constant know-nothing doctors and now I hate them all. smile.gif

The worst month though, that was December 2006. My dad got transferred to the middle east for his job (works for ExxonMobil) and they sprayed pesticides in our compound three times within three months. By December I wasn't sleeping, wasn't wearing clothes, and spent all my time hunched over in excruciating pain. 100% of my skin was like a burn victim's - oozing constantly, with no top layer. I was very close to dying. The company medically evacuated me to a clinic in Dallas, Texas where I spent the next 7 months.

Thank God, after a lot of very difficult treatment, things are much better now, and I hope to start university again in three weeks. I can't wait. smile.gif But I'll never be the same person I was. Still, I feel like I've gained a lot from the hardship I went through. (Although it took me a while to come around to that way of thinking, lol. Much easier to say it now.)


I have had a similar experience as well but I suffer from severe eczema. It has been the worst the past two years, rendering my hands two balls of bloody oozing mess with slits along my fingers. It affects my face as well so I have little to no self-esteem. Just the simple act of opening a bottle is very difficult for me and there some days I just keep taking anti-itch meds to stop the pain since they put me to sleep for the whole day. I miss being able to just wear shorts and short-sleeve ts in the summer and to not have to hide my hands and face.

Luckily my grades haven't suffered too badly but I skip most of my classes since I can't get out of bed most of the time. I don't know what really university life is like since I'm always in my room at rez. The constant pain leaves me in such a bad mood that it has stripped away my usually cheery personality. Now most of the time I'm either angry or depressed.

It's not as bad as what you've suffered Laica, but these chronic illnesses really do bring out the demons inside...

June, 2008.

I got a speeding ticket on my way home from working at a job that I HATED. I also had my 13-year-old cousin in the car with me. My aunt still won't let me drive her anywhere, and I'm really not a bad driver. The speeding ticket was by no means a fair representation of how I normally drive.

In this same month, I got turned down by a guy that I really really liked. He told me he didn't want to "waste his time dating me" because I "didn't seem like wife material" because I am "too career-minded." Apparently he was living in 1950, back when women stayed home and got permission from their husbands before doing anything. Still, I had liked him for a long time, and he led me on like we were going to start dating, then he cut it off just like that.

I also had to pay $500 for the ticket. My mother's car was also supposed to be handed down to me so I could take it to school last year, but that privilege was quickly taken away as well, and I spent the entire year stuck on campus without a car.

My parents say NOW that they overreacted when they took the car away. They made me feel awful a year ago, because I really respect them a lot and I hated that they didn't trust me as much.

All is well now, but bleh. June, 2008 sucked.

technically, it wasn't just one month, but fall semester 2007!

there were wild fires.
got throat infection.
had a cough that lasted me 2-3 months.
face broke out and was put on antibiotics and two creams.
took prep classes twice a week ALONG
with driving to uni for classes,
had to pump gas twice a week!
got an F on a TAKE HOME exam (is that even possible?!)
i got Cs in all my science classes.

BUT things got better after that. biggrin.gif

Reading all these stories made me feel so pathetic.
My "worst year/month/day" is NOTHING compared to what you guys have gone through.
I wasn't even going post what my worst year was, because honestly, reading these posts, made me really look at my life on the bright side.

However, I'll share MY worst month/year was fall 2006: I moved to Texas.
♥~rinka~♥
Worst was just last June on the same day.

Had a huge fight with whom I thought was a close friend. I was shocked to know that everything I did for the friendship was just fruitless efforts. I was told I had no personality, was boring since I only tell stories of a couple of friends and worse was that he puts malice in things that I do that's why he can't give everything to the friendship. I thought that was the end of it but when I got home, my mom said she was just layed off from a job because of office politics and that I would now be the breadwinner.

No critical illness but it was just a stab in the heart especially since I see that "friend" everyday and memories of that day keep coming back.

last february..

a close friend of mine who i used to hang out with everyweekend died...
it was unfair....he was runover by a woman "drugged off her face" and over the alcohol blood limit, she was waving and smiling at the news camera after the incident, which was broadcasted on tv....
it ripped a whole in my heart when i found out....

i've been to relatives funerals before but never managed to shed a single tear...
At his funeral i bawled my eyes out for ages....actually i think i cried more times in that month than i had in the past 12 years..

was definitely the worst month of my life.....
it affected me to a point where i stopped believing in God.....now i have other beliefs...

The year 2006 sucked really bad for me and I felt like I went thru lotsa ugliness in life and it was unfair. I've never experienced so much bad luck in my entire life until that year...
got myself into lotsa fights and drama with people I didn't want trouble from, lost a good friend of mine who changed for the worse and is now my worse enemy, didn't do too well in school compared to all my years of schooling, I wanted to transfer out of the Uni i was in and go into another one... but didn't get accepted there (felt like a failure), death of two family members (cousins), depression due to all those things that happened ....
but now i look back... I don't know how I managed to have gotten thru that year. All I could say is... i survived. mellow.gif

this summer has definitely been the most disappointing in memory. i've been extremely lonely, unmotivated, frustrated, and many times just plain uncomfortable. i've always associated summetime with freedom, relaxation, and impromptu fun. but this summer i'm going to school full time, all my friends graduated and moved away, and i'm just stranded with no transportation to relieve myself from the monotony of my day to day schedule. it's been pretty underwhelming and makes me apprehensive about the future...so i've been having nightmares almost every night sad.gif.

and i realize this situation isn't god-awful but now that i think about it...it's a repeat of the early parts of last summer...which might have in fact been a worse summer overall >_<!

Hmmmm my worst month will definitely be June/ July of 2009.

Broke up with my bf of 1 year and one month not long after my birthday and a string of arguments and horrible things he did.
I already had a really crappy semester of uni because of stressful uni work and having to just deal with lots of stuff, and the last thing I needed was a sudden breakup with someone who wasn't particular sober at the time.
Uni seemed to get worse, I hated the attitude of some people around me (teachers, students) - even a select few of my really close knit friends remarked on how unfortunate it was because everything seemed so good in May (birthday, graduation).

Soon afterwards we took an immediate family member to the hospital and they've now been in there for about 3 weeks, and counting (I hope they come home soon).
Because of that I had to pull out of a highly anticipated winter course and give up those few units I'd like to have in order to decrease my workload next year.

I've now got the flu for the 3rd time this winter (2nd time in a month) and last year I didn't even get the flu once.
Also I just can't sleep at night now :\

I know it's probably not so bad in comparison to some of the stories posted onto this thread - but I haven't felt this down in several years. Sure, we all suffer from bouts of depression be it from stress or whatever... but lately things have been pretty bad. I lost a lot of confidence - not to mention that someone "special" left me even though times were so bad for me - even if he said he'd "still be there" for me, he never was and disappeared into thin air. Not a comfortable thought, but now I just hope things will get better. Hopefully with a little bit of luck, perhaps.
Probably since the string of bad events until now I've been pretty lucky. I've had a few of my friends appear at the right time and do the right things to pick me up of out the mess I landed into. Just please no more horrible events please >_>

june-september 2007

i got into the school that i wanted, but i got sick with a tumor and had to remove during my senior year in high school. I wasnt able to fully attend school so i missed out on a lot of assignments; thus, this led to bad grades and my acceptance was rescinded. I seriously SERIOUSLY thought my life was over..... the whole summer, i was scared shi*less... just waiting for the official letter of my cancellation of admission to be dropped in my mailbox. It was during my mom's bday too and it was honestly horrible. I know- it is not the end of the world and i can always go to a CC and transfer. BUT! I never thought about it, transferring never even occurred in my mind... sigh. I worked soo hard and at the end, i was rescinded. I wanted to kill myself when i enrolled in a CC to transfer, so depressing.



HOWEVER! I got over it, and i realized that things happen for a reason and things change for the better. Got myself an amazing bf <3 , jobs, internships, and became close with awesome professors => recommendations, etc. Then, I got into a better school and now im officially enrolling into UCLA this fall with a full ride. SO excited! haha smile.gif I learned to manage my time more efficiently, take care of my body more, be more responsible, and just be thankful for the second chance. Yea, I took the hard way but at the end, it was absolutely worth it.

worst monthS would be may-june 2009..

i'm trying to regain my self-confidence just this month..
i've been a very optimistic person, but being jobless is taking
its toll on me.. i got out of school in april and i've been constantly looking
for work.. my friends said i should have continued playing for my uni and
finished my master's instead, but the thing is 3 units a term isn't the best of
situations.. and many things have been happening at home, so i wanted to
help my parents at least..
it's really awkward to listen to cousins around my age talking about work
and i still don't have it argh.
i came to a point i told my mom that all the hard work in college is put to
waste... maybe it's because i've never been rejected... and i'm just
being impatient just like what parents say but i've always had something
to do, so staying at home depresses me..
sweetasphyxia
My worst year was probably 2007 going into 2008. I'd just lost my sister in March and really hadn't dealt with it till later that year, became unemployed and reclusive and pretty much locked myself in my room for months. That sucked. I'm better now though.

So sorry to hear your stories all...
But um, I think my worst year would be this year, this past few months and even now..
I just graduated and seemed to have no luck in scoring myself a job.
Mom's been telling me off for not being able to pass the interview and said that all the money she paid for my degree was a total waste and that I am just not talented enough to be working with people with a good 'position' and not able to talk myself pass all interviews..
Ahhh..I dont think I can handle another job rejection. It's been way too much and I think I've had enough...But mom went ballistic on me...I knew she's so disappointed but I cannot seem to find the luck in getting myself employed. Then mom kept on comparing me with a friend of mine who got a good job and her comparison really kills me.
Hope I can get through this...*fingers crossed*


awww you will - it's the economy and you're def NOT alone

most of my friends are either seeking employment or have been laid-off...very few have stable jobs now - even ones with jobs are scared

if you need someone to talk to - feel free to message me sad.gif


aznkc
april is the worst month for me too...finals for school and i got to look for a job which hasn't happened for the last 2 years....my worst year would be 2006 or 2008 cause a lot of stuff happened to me
itz_n_obsession

Ms.Delusional
So far this year (2009) is the worst year of my life. Everything is just going wrong. School is horrible because I realized that i really hate my major. My family is struggling due to this stupid economic crisis and my love life is non-existing. FML
xlonlix
2009 is by far the worst year! I recently graduated and I'm having a hard time finding a job. My family is struggling because of this economy. I feel like I am losing a friend. FML.

AUGUST 2009. never felt so much pain in my life.
.moony.
this year is the worst year of my life...maybe not that bad compared to what some of you have gone through.
but it's definitely the worst for me. I have too many to list...pretty much everything from family life to work to friends to love to moving.
i dont even know if anything good even came this year. i had been depressed before but it's nothing compare to the mini cooper that happened this year.
Bleh hope next year will be better....and it should >_>
