No matter what people say, everyone goes through a struggle of one sort or another in their daily lives.

Some of these are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, however, and are the sort of things one simply vents about with their friends or family.

Others are a bit more serious, and much more personal.

So personal, in fact, that people feel as if they have no one they can talk to, as there is simply no one who could even hope to understand what they're going through.


Redditor achub0 gave people the opportunity to openly share their current struggles which they haven't told anyone about, leading them to ask:

"I did that job for 16 years and when we went to online work during Covid I was found out."

"As soon as it came to light that I had no Idea how to do the things that I was asking other people to do I just quit my job."

"The last couple of years I’ve lost everything and am grasping at straws to try to live some kind of life."

"It’s been a little over 7 months now and I don’t leave the house anymore."

"My Grandma has passed and my lovely ex-wife has helped me set up a small apartment that I can exist in."

"It's a silent battle to just keep going every day now that the person I was pretending to be my whole life has died in his own bed of ignorance."- jiffypopper44

Sometimes when we find ourselves lost in a funk of sadness or depression, it's easy to think that no one will understand, and no one can help.

But even if they won't necessarily understand, there is always someone willing to listen, who will also do their best to help.

AMC is pitching its new Double Sandworm Collectible as a way to make sharing popcorn easier. A thoughtful gesture, really, although the two gaping, tooth-lined mouths suggest the design team may have had a little too much fun with the assignment.
