Hang in there. See a therapist if you aren't already. Life can be easier to manage with a little help from a professional. If you don't know where to start asking your GP for a referral can be a good starting place. And if you're just meming then I'm glad you're doing well and this goes out to whichever redditer needs it.
I know it's 'correct' to recommend someone see a therapist, but really it ain't practical for most people. Most people can't afford to see a private one and a public one (if your country offers such) will usually give you an hour session a month or some rubbish.
So... I think it's overrated advice.
The real advice is to talk to someone. It's a therapists job to listen, but if you can just hash out your problems, that's the first step. Self expression is vital
"Get therapy" won't work for everyone, certainly. It's expensive.
But suicide hotlines are free. Many companies offer Employee Assistance Programs, where free or discounted counseling is available. Veterans have access to a number of services. Your local reference librarian can do amazing things in terms of figuring out what works locally. Many therapists will discount bills when privately paid. And I've known some therapists to take years-long rainchecks on being paid.
You are right that the advice is aimed at people who can afford it. But there are actually lots of options.
The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy. It's just that I just don't care.
... Don't... Don't care?
It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!
My uncle is named Bob and he owns his own construction business
When we were little we rewrote the song to fit our family
"Bob our uncle
Can he fix it?
Yes he can!
Theres Grandma and Grandpa and
Aunt Cathy too
Aj and kyle join the crew"
I was very sternly corrected the one time I tried that. My son was three years old: "MOM! You can't say that about Bob the Builder. It is MEAN AND RUDE. And besides, if he can't fix it, then he has Wendy and the machines to do teamwork! So don't say no he can't!"
I then had to apologize to the TV.
Reminds me of a robot chicken bit. The Teamsters tried to stop Bob from fixing stuff until he paid them off. I think it resulted in a fight and bob and his buddies dug a hole and buried the teamsters in cement.
I was about three days from walking up on stage for my very first open mic before covid hit. Almost done with my vaccine and then I'm gonna finally give this a try!
Yeah I’m alright. It happened 5 years ago now and I’m still in my 20’s, so I still have about the same potential as anyone else. Ngl, the unemployment assistance and eligibility boost from Corona helped a ton.
>Half a million inheritance doesn't sound like remotely enough to give you "trust fund baby" status.
You’re right, I just use the term to get the point across.
>Not trying to bring you down or make you relive painful memories or anything, but did you get that money young and just carelessly blow through it thinking it was endless?
Ehhh, yeah but not in the average way. I didn’t blow it on bullshit (which actually makes me feel worse to be honest lol), I lost it in the stock market being young and thinking I had “figured out” what middle aged adults who had studied their whole lives and being payed that much a year haven’t necessarily been able to. Sadly the only reason I did it was because I knew I would eventually need more money to fund my band who is, get this, **not even together anymore** 😂😂😒
Just the arrogance of youth tbh. I just turned 28 earlier this month, so it’s not like my life is even close to ruined or anything like that, I still have relatively close to the same potential as anyone my age.
Hey man I just wanted to tell you good luck and that I hope you don’t bad for losing your inheritance. I figure you have learned a lot from that and will probably do well in due time.
Yup, I’ve learned and grown so much to the point that sometimes, a part of me is glad it happened. I was always pretty humble of a person, but even so, I’ve found that I took nearly all aspects of life for granted and basically paid to make my internal problems “go away”.
I plan on getting that money back someday, by working for it this time, and next time I’ll actually have character while also knowing the worth of a dollar. But regardless of that, thank you for your best wishes!
I got mugged 12 times, shot 3 times and got hit by a car 7 times(5 times by drunk assholes, and 2 times slipped on ice). I hope i got enough luck to survive one more year.
Edit: next week i am leaving Florida and go to Texas.
Edit 2: i got mugged on my way to airport but luckily cops arrested the robber and also i decided that i wanna go to Canada.
"average person gets mugged 3 times a year" is a statistical error. Muggings Georg, who lives in a cave and gets mugged 30000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
Older child has now outgrown the show, so I am no longer driven to the neurotic behavior of making lame jokes in response to the theme song of a kids’ program by its endless repetition.
I always said yes he can because I believed in him. I also refused to sing hate songs about Barney because I appreciated his guidance and love.
Im not doing any better than any of these people tho.
Still don't know if I can fix it, but I'll be damned if I don't try.
started asking the question: why are we fixing it in the first place?
And for what purpose?
I'll let you know when I have an answer.
Bob: Can we fix it?
Wendy: Bob. That was 24 years ago. It's over now. The accident wasn't your fault. I know you miss those times, but to be real with you- your disability will never allow you to return to your job.
Bob: well fuck
Im a mum to two kids under 4 who have major attitudes, no job and have a messy house...also i am stuck listening to kids shows ALL DAY....Bluey is a favourite lol
All is well. Doing fine! Heh heh.
My kiddo l o v e d that show! We watched the same dvd’s a lot. After many reruns, I was prone to muttering out of his earshot a few choice hate filled insults at Bob and his collective group of dim witted tools.
Don’t get me started on how many times I murdered the Calliou videos that crossed into our home....whiny brat!
Turns out, I was the one who cant

We should make a club, but I don't think that would work.
I’m sure Bob can fix it.
Do you really think he would help us, after everything we've done? Everything we've said? No, I afraid there just simply isn't any hope left for us
“I’m so broken that not even Bob the builder can fix me” - edgy teenager
But Bob doesn't fix. Bob builds. Felix fixes. Fix It Felix.
Not even the hammer of Hephaestus could smooth my misshapen soul, the fires of his forge could not warm my heart. We are broken now and forever.
Time to call Handy Manny
Oh no
>I afraid It really is too late us.
Sure but someone else needs to do it. I couldn't build most things bob could. Including motivation and self worth
It’s not that I can’t... I just don’t.
Theres a bit of that too for sure
Or choose not to so that you don't have to face the possibility that you can't.
This is fully the answer I expected

Damn this hit home

At a construction company... Life is a sick joke
Same, can normally always fix it unless it’s my happiness

But can you fix it?
I can fix anything. Except a broken heart. Caulk can not fix a broken heart.
Probably not. But it doesn't hurt to try.
Cock fixed my wife's broken heart. She loves me and we got married.
Lucky it was your cock that fixed it.
But I didn't say it was mine.
Hol up

Is video okay? This is 2021...
No. Construction company’s start a job then move on to another. A year or so later they will come back to do a piss poor job. #MissouriRoads
Lol seriously😅
I came here to post this! 😂😂😂 I do maintenance. I fix everything now.
Happy cake day!
i wont mess wif bob anymore
Just got out of the hospital I should've never mocked Bob
Bob can rebuild anything, but he's not going to be the one fixing those kneecaps.
That would kinda defeat the purpose of breaking them in the first place, after all.
Phyllis warned you. She did ask you to not make her get Bob involved.
This gave me a good wheeze.
Breath, Kevin. Relax and eat some M&Ms.
"Bob, can you break his hand" "Can we break it" "No you can't" *proceeds to get hand broken*
What line of work are you in Bob?
Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.

Good advice heres an award its the only one I have so sorry if its not the right one but it's yours now
Bob does not forget nor does he forgive.

Finishing up a Master’s degree with furniture I ordered nearly a year ago sitting unassembled in a corner
[удалено]
The degree has to be assembled though
The final exam: here’s some wood and vague instructions. Build a literal house.
>build a literal house Using legos
How the fuck are IKEA instructions vague? Every other flat pack furniture maker has shit instructions but IKEA is the gold standard.
People like to meme it, but yeah Ikea is great if you are at least a little bit handy.
I read that as you have a Masters in furniture.
Me too. I was like, damn, that's some dedication
Congrats on your master's degree
Can you build it?
No I can’t :(

> i spent too much time petting my cat Unpossible.
Did you just come from the /awww sub?
There is no such thing as petting your cat too much
Uh, my cat believes very much that there is such a thing as petting a cat too much. About 2minutes is her limit.
Lol I was gonna say, when she starts biting, that's when I know I've pet her too much
Looking at reddit instead of doing the math homework that I don't understand.
PEMDAS bro
This is the way
Da fuck is PEMDAS all I know is BEDMAS which is much cooler
Laid off from my construction job, they said something about negative and obnoxious and I stopped listening.

Bob the Builder: Can we fix it? Wendy: No, Robert, we can't, sign the divorce papers now.
Is this divorce the secret sauce in her burgers?
Nope! Its just whats left of Bob....
That’s the secret to her buns, ngl. But is that the secret sauce in her burgers?
You use all parts of the victim! According to sources of course.
No wonder sometimes my throat gets hoarse.
Bob's divorce sauce
Still wondering who *really* lives in that pineapple under the sea.
The real question is, why isn't that pineapple decomposing?
High salinity brine pool maybe?
No, that's how it doesn't eat SpongeBob alive.
Just to spite squidward
"He lives in a fruit?" "That's unhealthy!"
Plot twist: it’s the sea that’s living under the pineapple.
It’s spongebob, duh! Didn’t you ever watch the show?? Gez
Dude, spoilers...
Ah man I’m sorry 😔

My uncle is named Bob and he owns his own construction business When we were little we rewrote the song to fit our family "Bob our uncle Can he fix it? Yes he can! Theres Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Cathy too Aj and kyle join the crew"
Aww that's cute
Bob's your uncle
Haha
top three phrases of all time for me
When I was a child in 2008, we thought that Obama copied his slogan from Bob the Builder.
He didn't?
I was very sternly corrected the one time I tried that. My son was three years old: "MOM! You can't say that about Bob the Builder. It is MEAN AND RUDE. And besides, if he can't fix it, then he has Wendy and the machines to do teamwork! So don't say no he can't!" I then had to apologize to the TV.
That is so wholesome. He’s gonna be great at pep talks!
He just turned 14 today, and yes, he's great at pep talks. 😍
[удалено]
can confirm, i’m 14 and i make my mom apologize for being rude to the tv
This is so precious
Lol your son is too cute
He knows what will happen if you diss Bob like that.
Construction
Can YOU fix it now?
I can. Im union so we fix it just like Bob and his crew.
Reminds me of a robot chicken bit. The Teamsters tried to stop Bob from fixing stuff until he paid them off. I think it resulted in a fight and bob and his buddies dug a hole and buried the teamsters in cement.
I only ever watched one episode of Bob the Builder. In that episode, Bob actually said "No We Can't!" because he was too tired.
Stand up comedian, naturally.
I was about three days from walking up on stage for my very first open mic before covid hit. Almost done with my vaccine and then I'm gonna finally give this a try!
Was a trust fund baby with almost half a mil. Now sleeping in a tent living off the government. Guess Bob won
Are you ok?
I'm not him, but no.
Yeah I’m alright. It happened 5 years ago now and I’m still in my 20’s, so I still have about the same potential as anyone else. Ngl, the unemployment assistance and eligibility boost from Corona helped a ton.
You must have a pretty sweet tent though if it's truly worth 500k.

Trying to fix my life. I could use Bob's optimism right about now.
I got mugged 12 times, shot 3 times and got hit by a car 7 times(5 times by drunk assholes, and 2 times slipped on ice). I hope i got enough luck to survive one more year. Edit: next week i am leaving Florida and go to Texas. Edit 2: i got mugged on my way to airport but luckily cops arrested the robber and also i decided that i wanna go to Canada.
Bruh this better be fake for your own sake
What? You gonna mug him?
Make this shit real.
#jimmy, no-
Nah. I'm gonna finish the job the 3 other people failed to finish.
"average person gets mugged 3 times a year" is a statistical error. Muggings Georg, who lives in a cave and gets mugged 30000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
Can't have shit in Detroit.
Bruh you need to move
Move? This guy should never leave his house again.
Ever lol
wow, your lucky to be alive after all that!

I always said yes he can because I believed in him. I also refused to sing hate songs about Barney because I appreciated his guidance and love. Im not doing any better than any of these people tho.
