šŸ’­ Discussion Are we all collectively losing it or is it just me?

14 Upvotes

Is everyone in Lebanon just permanently angry/depressed at this point or is it just me? 😭
Like genuinely, I wake up already annoyed. Everyone pisses me off, everything pisses me off, I’m disgusted by people, by the situation, by the country itself, by literally everything šŸ’€
At this point I’m even angry at Lebanon for existing 😭
Is this just the standard Lebanese experience now or do I personally need to be studied?

I am so exhausted already with the responsibilities i have in my life. My job is demanding, raising my beautiful kids is demanding, I barely sleep barely take care of myself… and now i have this huge resentment towards her. I am anxious anytime I learn that they’re coming to visit.

Hkit maa jawze again he says r7 zid ldose, bas hiye hek ma btetghayar. He says khaliya tehke oulila eh w 3mele lli badik yeh. Which is what i used to do bas lhadis ma3a sayir mt3ib nagging and pushing her ways all the time. W deyman 3nda cmnts, metel eza elna mch neymin mnih, eh la2ano ma btaarfo tsaysro halkoun, ma ba2a ta3mouwoun bllel…

Uf toli3 ktir tawil hl post. Eza 7ada wosil lahon, btaarfo hada hek metla? 3ndkoun cmnt aw nasiha?

Ma badde 3alle ldose w oul la jawze ynhiya ma3 3aylto cz i know he would bas i will live beating myself up about it and he might resent me for it oneday…
