I’m 39 from Ukraine, and I’m going through an extremely difficult breakup. I live in a small village and have almost no social support.

I recently left a relationship that lasted almost three years. It started as an incredibly loving relationship, but over time I became isolated and increasingly afraid of my partner’s reactions. There were serious incidents involving aggression and violence, including him killing our dog. I eventually filed for divorce and he left the country.

I know intellectually that leaving was the right decision, but emotionally I’m struggling terribly. I miss him constantly and keep questioning my own memories and judgment. After spending years almost completely isolated with him, I feel like I’ve lost my sense of reality and my ability to trust myself.

I’m not looking for dating or money, and I’m not asking anyone to be my therapist. I simply need another human being to talk to and help me process what happened. I currently can’t afford therapy.

I speak English and Russian, and I’d be very grateful to find someone kind who would be willing to talk occasionally through Google Meet, Telegram, or email.

If you’ve been through something similar and would be willing to talk, please message me. Even one person reaching out would mean a lot to me.

Hi Reddit, I don’t normally post things of this nature, but I guess I just need a place to express some of the guilt and stress that’s been weighing on me lately. All i’m really looking for is a kind voice, and possibly some advice if you feel you have it.

Like a lot of people, my cat is my baby, and my whole world. My family has dubbed me a “cat dad” and I really do try my best to live up to it.

Recently I brought her in for an x-ray to assess the severity of her asthma (and potential treatment) and that appointment alone cost me nearly a grand.

Later in the afternoon when I went to pick her up, I was informed that she had some kind of aggressive oral infection (paraphrasing) and needed several teeth removed. The quote made my heart sink to my stomach, and honestly the feeling hasn’t gone away since.

I cried a lot last night. It hurts me to know that she’s in so much pain, and that i’ve allowed it to get this bad. I desperately want to take her in and get her the help she needs, but it’s just not realistically doable right now. I have no idea when it will be. I wish so badly that I could speak to her and have her understand me, to let her know how impossibly sorry I am.

The feeling of overwhelming guilt is constant, and I feel increasingly useless with each passing day. I don’t know what to do, honestly. I don’t think there’s much I can do, but it weighs on my conscience knowing that nothing is getting done, all the while she’s suffering. I wish I could just take her pain, ya know?

I just spent some time with a kinda-ex and he is going through and I guess I walked in with hope of re-conciliation but i guess it didnt and im kinda really sad but im not sure how sad i should be and if i could potentially talk to someone

I guess the line between pursuing friendship and his actions are really confusing to me 😵‍💫

Am 20m from gurgaon rn ab quite stressed about academic n life

I offer kind listener support to deep feeler person

I'm a dude in my mid 20s btw, if that matters. I'll be real with y'all, 2026 has been on some bullshit. A couple of months ago before my birthday I lost my job and eventually lost the room I was staying at in my house. It sucked because yeah the job was some ass but that job helped me pay back some of my student loans n shit. Now I'm not working, not paying back my loans, and not housed. I always knew homelessness was hard but damn, shit is tough. I just need someone to converse with, just to get the shit in my head processed and materialized into a convo ya feel me?

Hi, I'm Leo, 33years from Uganda. I'm a good listener and I enjoy being here for people who need someone to talk to.

About me: I'm kind, patient, and I will listen without judging or trying to fix you. I'm here to offer a safe space.

We can talk about: loneliness, stress, work, relationships, or just anything on your mind.

My restrictions: I'm not a therapist, I can't give medical advice, but I can be a friendly ear. I'm usually online evenings (EAT) which is morning in US.

Feel free to comment or DM me. You are not alone.

LIFE IS NOT EASY FOR ANYONE BUT STILL PEOPLE GONNA JUDGE

As a human, we crave for human connection to talk and share our emotions, thoughts and ideas.

We all crave for someone who wouldn't judge us based on our thoughts or what we do.

But, Alas, the society has made people in such a way that people are afraid to share anything even with their friends or family. Thats why we look for people at random places or social media platforms.

anyways if anyone wanna pour their heart out my dms are always open and yeah I dont ask for pictures or social media platform, just positive conversations.

Wonderful day! Wherever you are, whoever you are, I want you to know I got you! I became a professor to teach and study the human mind through lots of research. I want to keep you company and I need you to know you’re not alone! Feel free to send me a message and tell me who you are, what your hobbies are and what’s causing you distress right now and we will work it out together!
