Sometimes, love hurts.

A Drawn-Out Process

"Custody battle."

Watching a loved one suffer is perhaps the cruelest thing in life.

Watching The Struggle

"Watching my mom suffer and slowly die because of cancer."

Giving It The Middle Finger

"F'k cancer. Watched my dad slowly die from lung cancer almost 3 years ago, then watched my mom basically give up on life after that and ultimately pass away last summer. Both in their mid 60's. Sucks so much. My wife and I just bought our first home and are expecting our first child in November, and I hate that my parents aren't around to see it all. I know they'd be incredibly proud. I'm very sorry for your loss."

School can be so cruel.

Bullying

"Getting bullied in middle school."

– seanofkelley

Academic Trauma

"For me elementary school was being bullied by the teachers and middle school was being bullied by other students while the teachers watched and did nothing. It took me way too long to connect that with the fact I can barely remember high school because I constantly smoked a stupid amount of weed to avoid having emotions."

Misery Of Early Adolescence

"Just middle school. Any of it."

– t1mepiece

Dorm Room Buddies

Ouch

High Anxiety

"Panic attack."

– tt5190

Losing Weight

"Being obese. largest It was over 400lbs. 18 months ago when decided to get serious weight was a little over 300. I dipped under 200 not that long ago and I can tell you that I'll never let that happen again."

– WallOk7585

The Cyst

"Had an epididymal cyst a few years back. Everything I've read says they're painless. Mine was the size of a blueberry and I couldn't walk."

"Never again."

– FiIthy_Anarchist

Brain Pain

"Cluster headaches. My doctor says they've stopped, but I've gone to the extent of buying a pistol so I can kill myself when they happen again. They're like having a burning metal rod shoved through your eye socket. I'd rather die than have those again."

– ReaLifePhrog

Immense Pain

"Shingles."

– feelingbutter

Being bullied in middle school was definitely a big nope for me.

A time when I felt insecure about myself and was worried about not fitting in was so traumatic, that I wound up bullying others at a different school.

My regretful behavior unfairly alleviated my frustrations to harass other vulnerable peers who were not as retaliatory.

It was all such a traumatic cycle I hoped to never experience again in my adolescence.
