What's the worst thing that ever happened to you that you care to talk about? I'd have to say besides some personal family issues that happened early in my childhood that getting fired from my first job was a bitch!! . So, what's the worst piece of shit that's happened 2U? Gotta answer the , but feel free to post away .

Prince being a dickhead.

I don't think it has happened yet I have come this far relatively scot free.

I that you continue to have such happiness .

the worst thing so far was probably when i was a little kid and my parents took me to see jimmy swaggart, and i got trampled by a throng of crazed fundamentalists when they opened the doors to the auditorium. i was maybe 6 years old. i still get claustrophobic to this day when i'm in a big crowd of people.

thank you
Shitty things have happened, that seemed bad at the time, but in hindsight I wouldn't be here where I am today if they didn't happen!
Like this job I once had, they told me they wouldn't be able to offer me a permanent position once my probabtionary time was up and I could keep working casual if I chose to, but I immediately went and got another job instead, that was 5 minutes from home, better paid and lots more fun!! My near death scary emergency c-section resulted in the most beautiful child in the world! My boyfriend broke up with me for but 6 months later proposed. etc etc.
I cannot complain!!

charlottegelin said:

That is often the case that you leave a job only to find a better one and c-sections are really terrible procedures, but they lead to the most beautiful outcomes-our children . So, I guess that your right in that bad situations usually lead to wonderful endings .

nurse said:

you just can't see it at the time, how it might work out to be a positive
I know there are people on here that have had to live through the most shocking, horrible things

as a child i remember being a great fan of roald dahl..i was sadden to learn that he died like before years before i got into his book,i remember trying to send him a letter.

I loved him too. I read My Uncle Oswald(?) when I was 10 (which was a bit advanced for me! )

The worst things that have ever happened to me are not fit for this message board.

CarrieMpls said:

That's understandable .

Homelessness.

I forgot to eat lunch today.

the worst thing I did was a very selfish act... it was after a funeral and I was living with my friends Harriet and Nathan. I came home said goodnight to them and took around 40 sleeping tablets woke up 16 hours later and told them what I'd done they were understandably very angry with me

Losing a parent...

I am very much responsible myself for the worst things that have happened to me.

CalhounSq said:

Yes, that too.

Being molested at 10 years old by a neighbor kid I trusted, looked up to, and respected.
Having the person I was in love with tell me he never was making love to me, only 'having sex' and I made him want to vomit.....so I got betrayed physically and emotionally all over again.

This is a depressing thread.....

I have a personal trauma at the rate of once a month.

You mean menstruation?

CalhounSq said:

Maybe we should start a thread of the best stuff(?).....I have had some happy and wonderful experiences in my life, too!
I prefer to concentrate on those

Finding out my wife had an abortion after trying to hide it from me. BTW, I had already had a vascectomy.

ouch.

Somebody with NO license and NO insurance ran a red light and totaled my car a month after I had it paid off! But thank God they didn't kill me and a car can be replaced (still pissed tho').

i don't know if maybe this year is the worst time of my life. my mother is deteriorating at a rapid rate, and i'm really getting pushed into a corner regarding taking some kind of action. it's become clear that she's not in the state of mind to take care of herself, let alone communicate even the simplest thoughts clearly. she's been to the emergency room at least six times this year alone, and her insurance has run out. her podiatrist is seeing her pretty much pro bono now, but her needs are way more than he can afford to contribute. she's probably going to have at least one foot amputated, and i just learned she's been hiding the fact that she hasn't seen a primary health care physician in over a year, so there are probably loads of other things wrong with her. she's in a hospital right now - she was admitted to an emergency room again last night. the problem gets worse and worse. if i can't find a way to put her in a constant-care setting, all i know to do is move her to chicago and have her live with me...which i don't mind because she's my mom, but it's going to change EVERYTHING, and i'm scared to death of that.

oh yeah, and i got the sickest i've ever been in my life last month, which was most likely the result of an infection i got from cleaning my mother's house after the last time she was admitted to an ER. or was it two times ago? it's hard to keep track.

anyway. is this worse than being trampled as a kid? i don't know.
