The last 5 years have been the worst of my life

Yep! Started in 2011. Lost everything. I mean everything. Started from scratch at age 58. I learned to not give a shit about possessions or relationships. God brought me through it all even when I was running hard the other way.

Keep your head up. It gets better.

Last 8 years ....but he's outta office now....now we just have to deal with the idiots that came of age and indoctrinated during the 8 yrs.....

Yep but I'm hoping as everything is cyclical it's a phase I'm going through that will end up being an experience to learn from. It's the 2nd time nothing has gone my way but after the first time I blossomed.

Same.

Since 2009 for me.

same here last 5 years seem like a blur, and I'm still in a rut.

Let's b honest, since 2001. But in overdrive since 2008-2010.

Same here. Worst in my life, the last five.

I seriously thought I was going to die during the Obama. Years.

I will never forgive American white women for electing him.

Some things are unforgivable, and they crossed that line.

Yep, last 5.
Awful.
I'll spare you the detail.
Let's hope we're due for a swing in the other direction.

Last 10 years here and this week is the closet I've came to checking out.

man this is so depressing to hear.for me worst was 2015 when my 3 cats died .I almost killed myself because of grief and sadness

Take a lesson from the lotus flower. It knows it is surrounded by putrid smelling waters of decay and foul essence, yet it blossoms into a radiant flower above the rancid waters, vivid in color and beauty.

The last decade has been real bad for me and just pulled a 180 and is real good in a couple of months.

Hang tight OP. I had given up.

No offense but... seriously?

THIS ^^^

I bought a company, got scammed by the Sellers, and lost everything at age 55. Wifey divorced me. I was depressed and drinking too much. Went BK.

I got a consulting gig and made enough to buy a car. Bought a failing company for ZERO because I promised the IRS I would help them collect the receivables that the Seller owed them.

Worked 7 days a week for no pay. Lived in a tiny apartment which I shared with a disabled relative who needed care. Studied every night to learn my new field.

Got cancer and beat it. Almost died again from an error in the cancer treatment. Survived again.

Bought a distressed condo from a relative who wrapped the note (I could not get credit because I had gone BK).

Worked 7 days a week for years. No dating, restaurants, movies, or vacations. Saved every dime I could.

Made the company profitable.

Met a wonderful, much younger, and beautiful woman. Got married.

Now: The last four years of marriage have been the happiest of my life. She is the BEST thing that ever happened to me. Company is growing. I am healthy (thank you, Lord), have home and farm PAID FOR. Trucks, company, equipment, everything is PAID FOR.

Never give up! Work on continuous improvement of YOU. Get more education (I am now the oldest student in my college). Exercise. Avoid drugs and alcohol. Avoid pointless relationships. Eat right.

This is not rocket science. Do the right things and your life will improve.

Last 12 months have been hell. Praying that the Revelation 12 sign is it

Yep feels like a jab in my heart most the time

yes same. all started 2012. peaked in 2015. and now im stuck on a shit plateau. basically running out the clock now

Remember...wasnt ALL of us. I was trying to warn everyone about him. Got called names and mocked.

Anyway last 10 or so have been the worst for me...but largely my own fault so....

Onky 5 yrs? Been most of 20 but who's counting and I'm sure tomorrow will be better....oh, wait Im having another spinal fusion Tuesday.

Many years ago I remember reading about how our lives change every 7 years...we go through cycles...

2009 was a seminal year for much pain to begin.

A lot of people lost a lot starting that year - and most will never be able to get that back.

Me too.

Do you have a dog?

For me 2009 to about 2016 was wretched, but things have improved a lot in the last year.

Yes everyone heed this man's advice, because everywhere there are failing companies that you can acquire for free.

That's right, just buildings, supplies, equipment and a business already in place, just for you.

It's all right there.

Give me a break, not everyone get's lucky like you did.

And as far as beating cancer, there's a lot of people who don't, and they fight just as hard.

So fuck off.

check if you are in sade sati shani, the 7.5 year bad luck transit of Saturn.

When I was in my sade sati shani from 2004-2011 things were real bad. It's when saturn transits through your 12th, 1st and 2nd house of your chart.
