Worst year of your life?

Probably this year actually. I've repressed all bad memories, like I usually do (I'm trying hard to remember something from 2015 and earlier, but nothing), but since this thing happened only three months ago, I do still remember it.

There was this guy I met, lets call him Bob. Bob is I believe five or six years older than me, but that doesn't really matter. He's from England, like many of my friends (also everyone in this story), and he told me in the game we were playing that he hadn't really befriended anyone yet, and asked if he and I could be friends, to which I accepted. We talked for a little, and he was very open. He told me many things, he talked a lot about his ex from Italy, and I just sat there and listened to him (we were in a skype call).

Skip some days- I met a new girl whose name I don't remember, so lets call her Lea. Bob was the one that had invited me to meet some of his old friends in this game, since I wasn't in good terms with another dude called Luke, and Lea was in that group of friends. Bob also told me not to mention his name to Lea. I befriended Lea quickly, and when I did, I did say that Bob sent me there, and she instantly told me to beware of him. Apparently, why Bob and his ex had broken up, was because he had raped her, and abused her. Bob though, he had told me that he left her because she cheated on him.

This left me shaken, of course, and I stated to avoid Bob. He noticed this after a while, and got a bit mad at me. I told the whole story to my close friend, lets call him Jack, and he thought something was off with Bob since start (he was pretty weird), and believed me.
Now I also told this to Luke, the guy I had a fight with, for some dumb reason. He was curious, and I ended up telling him.
That was a bad idea.

Firstly, Luke asked Lea if all of this was true, to which she lied, and said no. He then told Bob that I spread the rumor to EVERYONE, that Bob had raped his ex. When I heard of this, of course I got extremly mad at Luke. I contacted him, and he denied everything, saying that I lied, that Bob is actually a good guy. I told him we were never gonna be friends again, and blocked him on every social media.
Then somehow, after I had blocked Bob too, he did manage to contact me. He was pissed. He asked why I had 'lied' to eleven people. I was confused, I had only told three people, and I guess Luke then told even more people, just to lie to Bob and say that I indeed was the one doing that. I denied everything that Bob claimed me to do, but he didn't believe me. I asked what I could do to make him change his mind, but no. He was sure I was the villain here.
He then threatened me.

I was super scared for a month, because I remember him saying earlier when we were friends that he actually was gonna visit Sweden soon, to see a friend. And I had told him what city I lived in.

So yeah, I lost contact with Bob, Luke and Lea, and stopped playing that stupid game, because I didn't want to risk meeting them again.
I'm still good friends with Jack though.
Luke recently came back to me and apologized (guess I didn't lie after all), but I told him we were never going to be friends again.

It turned out fine, anyway. Me and Jack never talk about it, of course, and it's all in the past. :)

Woah this story turned out longer than I expected.
 
Year 8 was awful for me. I won't say what actually happened, because I don't like talking about it, but it was honestly really hard for me.
 
2012, when I was 12/13 -although I had people I was allowed to sit with at school, I never spoke to them and they were quite horrible to me. I was bored at school, it wasn't challenging enough, so I ended up doing nothing and failing all my subjects because I just couldn't be bothered. I felt like crap all the time and was constantly in trouble at school.

Fast-forward to now, where I get almost straight As and the thought of arguing with a teacher is absurd.
 
No year really stands out to me
They've all been pretty horrible from when I was around 7
Just stress, school work, anxiety, everything you can imagine
 
2010. I got bullied. :(

Other than that, my life's been pretty good, and I'm looking forward to 2019, because I'll be able to study what I enjoy and have control over my life! :rolleyes:
 
I'd say 2013, at least some parts that was pure trash and just drama.

Also some parts of 2012 bc even moar drama and bc a jerk friend.
 
Ah, so many to choose from.

Two of my worst times were in 2011 and 2013, one personal and one in the family.
 
My 4th or 5th grade year I guess. I can't remember it at all actually, but my mother told me that I was badly bullied back then, like cornered in the bathrooms and stuff like that.

I would say the worst year of my life has been from Oct. 2015-present. Mostly within 2015.

Last year I was diagnosed with severe depression, and at a job which I hate going to. My job is in my field of study, but the environment is so toxic I get anxiety thinking about going to work.

Thankfully I've had a wonderful support system from day one. Especially more recently from my soon-to-be husband. I found a temporary job that will get me out of my current environment so I can have some time to heal. It's a very risky move for me, but I an so thankful that I have the support.
 
There have been so many bad years in my life, but 2014 and 2016 are probably the worst.

2014:
- aunt died
- great grandma died
- family friend died
- dad went to jail
- dad was hit by a car and broke his leg and became permanently disabled
- family drama

2016
- aunt died
- lost all my friends
- several of my pets died or disappeared
- dad almost went to jail again
- family drama
 
Last time I posted I couldn't pick between last year and this year, but I definitely know now that it was this year.
 
I would say 2014, but that's the year I joined this forum :D

2015, I wont say why.

5th grade, I went through major depression during school.

I would get bullied at school for who I am because I was different and showcased myself to the world, trying to be unique. These 4-5 girls and group of boys would harass me on the bus every single day and call me ugly, disgusting looking, a dingleberry (which i cannot even fully comprehend why they called me that??), and some other nasty stuff, as well as telling me I'm useless, a waste of space, and that I should go be a bother somewhere else. They tripped me all the time. I would not do anything to them, I was the most silent kid in the grade that never said anything and they did all that to me, on the bus and in school.

At recess, my "friends" ditched me and I had absolutely nobody to talk to at recess, and I would see countless people whisper to their friends and point at me while laughing. In the middle of the year, I went to this lone tree sitting in the grass and I would sit there every single day, and I would look down with my head down in my lap and just think of how I'm so useless and that I should end my life so that I don't have to deal with the pain that I was going through at the time. I broke off this stick off the tree and I would have the most ****ed up mind that I would like "rehearse" stabbing myself in the chest as if other people were seeing it. When I got home everyday I would have even more suicidal thoughts but playing my favorite games helped conquer my negativity.

I still remember every little vivid detail back then at the time, I was young and I think nobody should have to ever go through that. I'm scarred from that, but I've put that year behind me and I've learned to come at people stronger.
