To kick things off, I found a Chinese takeout place with the best veggie fried rice I've ever had. It has tons of veggies AND I'm able to add tofu. I'm just so happy, it has bok choy, baby corn, zucchini, peas, carrots, bean sprouts, big pieces of broccoli and all the veggies are properly cooked with a good bite and good nutrition left in them. yay!

This is gonna sound really backwards and stupid but I was anorexic for 3 years and at my lowest weight (87 lbs) I could only see one cheek bone even with my mouth closed.

And now, a few months into recovery, I’m almost 20 lbs heavier but now can see both cheekbones when I’m both talking and not talking?

Years ago I posted in a vent thread that I saw no reason to keep making art or even trying anything at life, that I hated everything I did, I was a very dark time at my life and I would have never posted about it besides here. A very kind nonnie replied and I remember it helped me to read her reply. Years later I am very happy, better than ever. I hope that nonnie is happy and motivated in her life too. I am very grateful for lc, it can be annoying, full of infights and baits, but there is a lot of good too. I've seen a lot of support and it warms my heart that people can be nice to each other even anonymously. I try to keep my posts helpful and positive because some nonnies really helped me and they'll never know that, so I hope I can help others too.

I got so used to doctors of both sexes not taking me seriously I got so surprised by this male orthopaedist who seemed very concerned about my issue and even though there was no free appointments for physio he called his physio friends to get at least three appointments for me in the course of two weeks, and he gave me a list of tests to do in order to rule out rheumatoid arthritis.

I'm becoming genuine friends with some of my coworkers and it's so wonderful, I can feel my walls breaking down with each positive interaction I have and good connections I make with people. Even since I was little I've had poor self-esteem, and after a very bad relationship in adulthood all of the negative thoughts about myself were confirmed in my mind; I thought I was embarrassing, annoying, abnormal and unlovable. Ever since then I was very uncomfortable when people were kind to me because I thought they must either have an ulterior motive or were just being polite while secretly thinking I was awful, because why on earth would they waste their time on someone like me otherwise? But these coworkers are confiding in me, calling me their friend, inviting me to their homes, and while it is still very much a foreign feeling I am getting used to it bit by bit and learning to accept their kindness. I am a good person with a fun personality. I'm healing.

Idc if this makes me seem weird but I’ve been visiting local cemeteries lately and decided I want to do my part to help take care of them (i.e: fixing flower arrangements that got knocked over, wiping down the headstones if they need it, etc) and visit the people who’ve passed away. Not for my own personal pride or anything but I just feel like some of these older neglected graves should have someone besides the groundskeeper taking care of them, you know? Especially the ones who clearly haven’t had any visitors in decades. I also just bought some old Land Before Time books from a thrift store with the intention of reading them to this one kid who passed away in 2001 when he was 8 who loved dinosaurs. His family literally got him a custom headstone shaped to look like Little Foot. Idk, I just feel like spending time with these people (respectfully ofc), even though they’re not here physically anymore is just a nice thing to do.

My mom was cleaning out her closet a bit and she gifted me four(!) beautiful, good quality, barely worn blouses. I don't have many 'nice' items in my closet so I'm so happy to be able to look classy and put together but still like myself. I'm so grateful, my mom's style is beautiful as well. I love her ♥

I've seen so many males getting very angry every time they would play video games or use the PC to browse shit, I wonder why they keep engaging in those hobbies if they make them miserable every single time. Gardening was an good choice, I myself used to stay glued to TV or the computer all the time but after forcing myself to pass more time in nature I realized how grounding and relaxing it can be. It's like my mind resets every time I pass some time outside gardening, birdwatching or caring for my dog and I can think clearly again kek.

Basically nothing nice happened in my life during the course of 2 years of working at this place, and suddenly a lot happened in the span of just two days and I can't process it. A year ago my boss didn't want to give me a contract and a promotion. Yesterday she suddenly told me she will give me the contract and promotion and she already started the procedures and she congratulated me. The general manager also congratulated me wtf. Today our boss made a meeting and announced she's leaving for a different job and she will only be with us for 1 month before leaving. Forever. I've been working so hard and wageslaving and dreaming about better money and when I finally gave up and I was sure I won't get it, I got it, and on top of that, the boss I was always afraid of just… won't be with us anymore. I'm lying now in my bed and I can't sleep. Like, I will have money for a decent living. Finally. I had to live in shitty conditions in a city where it's extremely hard to rent a place and now I will be able to afford something better. Also better food, better clothes. Some travelling. Art supplies for my hobby. I won't have to worry about working hours anymore. Basic shit I know, but I never had that before. And I won't have to worry about my narc boss anymore. I never had good experiences with her and now I'm kinda surprised she decided to 'secure' me just before leaving and I don't know how to feel about it??? Like I never liked her but I'm also grateful? WTF… Anyway I should be sleeping a long time ago but I just can't I think about money and how much pain and hard work I've been through to get to this place, especially as an asocial person. Also thinking about all the toys I'm going to buy. I'm also planning a 1 week vacation in Paris with my friend. Fuck, IMAGINE starting your life in your late 20s. It took me so long but I finally feel more secure and like I can focus on myself more, not on shitty school, not on taking care of my sick mom who already died. Living far away from my toxic family. Not wageslaving. With more money for myself. And only starting to form any kind of bonds with other human beings in my late 20s. I know it's late but I never had that before and I feel like I only started living from now, I only started learning adult skills. FUCK I've waited so long for this! I should be simply happy right? Then why I feel like screaming and hitting myself in the head and calling my family and screaming at them HAHA FUCK YOU I MADE THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP. I need to calm down. Please god don't let me ruin this and please let it be real. I want to go apeshit

I picked up an AMAZING find at Goodwill. It's a Edwardian riding habit. I am so hype that I am going to buy a fancy hat to go with it and then have tea in the park with my historian gals. The only problem is that this thing is so tiny. Seriously, I am already small, but if I gain only two more pounds, I will not be able to fit in this. I wonder if a seamstress could alter it for me so that I can comfortably wear it even if I'm bloated that day, but I kinda doubt it because it does not seem like it has enough give.

I image-searched the scumbag celebrity moid who I was unhealthily obsessed with as a teenager for the first time in several years yesterday and I couldn't believe it, but he wasn't even attractive to me anymore. Even looking at some of the same pictures I remember having saved as my ipod touch backgrounds thinking he was the most beautiful person on earth, did nothing for me. In fact I realized he had some ugly features that I somehow didn't notice back then.
It was so crazy because after not seeing him for so many years, I guess I had misremembered what he looked like and imagined him as way more attractive than he actually was. When I saw his real face again it actually made me laugh so hard.
This might seem like a small random thing, but he rotted my brain so severely as a depressed teenager that I used to feel I had nothing to live for other than keeping up with his retarded activities. So for that version of myself to be totally unrecognizable and gone is such an amazing feeling.

i want to thank all the kind anons on this website who support and help and root for each other. i’m really grateful for the support i’ve gotten and it has made these days easier for me and made me feel less alone.

I started a new tumblr a month ago after not being on there for eons. I only post my own photography and follow other photography and nature accounts. Some of them have even followed me back! It feels so nice to have a dashboard full with beautiful landscapes, positive + hopeful quotes, and the occasional cat video and not having to worry about stupid gender politics or other negative things. Today a photographer lady followed me and it made me smile! I followed her back and i hope it made her smile too! The photos i post get likes, i don't have to worry about weird moid interactions, and just the serenity of it all makes me actively try to put more energy in my photography as a result. It's awesome!

ntayrt, but Tumblr is a much better site than it used to be (a lot of people who made it really bad left for Twitter). I love having somewhere to arrange my creative world and put things I've created back out there. You have no obligation to engage with politics, there are plenty of huge blogs on there that only post photography, art, nature, literature etc. Also yeah the custom themes on Tumblr are one of the better and more unique features. My little positive thing to add is that I love having a Tumblr to put my writing somewhere. It's truly one of my favourite things to do and I feel so fulfilled.

I reached 40K words on the first draft of my book, meaning its officially novel length. I’m two thirds of the way done. The last chapters should be smooth sailing though, as I’ve fixed all my plot holes and actually know how to write a first draft (by not being picky as I go and just getting the tone and flow down).

The book is a dark comedy/drama about an 18 year old girl going on a road trip to see her long distance girlfriend and getting her life ruined by a stalker. There’s also a subplot about her friends that ties in. I’d say the title I’m thinking about, but not on lolcow.

Been feeling pretty happy lately. I've been able to be consistent with good habits and it's been paying off. My skin looks better, I have so much more endurance and stamina from biking every day, I'm probably the lowest weight I've been since I was a teenager (I haven't weighed myself but I am swimming in my clothes right now.)

I just released a lot of anger at someone by realizing I was angry because I felt used, and that’s a pattern stemming back from childhood. I don’t think me pointing out every judgement I have of them will do anything but perpetuate my anger and show people I love how hateful I am sometimes.

The first thing I do every morning is open the chicken coop so the chickens can go into the little fenced area, but since the sun is rising later now they are usually not awake yet. After breakfast I go back out to give them a couple hours of free range time to forage in the yard. They all run up to the fence clucking to greet me when I go out there and it makes me so happy that they are happy to see me. When yard time is over I go in their fenced area and call "chickens! chickens!" And they all come running in to get their scratch grains and worm treats. I love my chickens so much. The big mean one is my favorite, she follows me around like a pet when I am outside during yard time and lays an egg as big as my fist almost every day. She's always the first to come when I call and she makes this loud "rrrrRRRAAAAAAAAA" sound that brings the others in for the treats if they are far away or hiding.

I am such a lucky bastard when it comes to my pets, holy hell.
Three dogs, all from the shelter. One I got as a pet for my first dog. They hit it off, they loved each other. Sadly my first dog had a horrible accident. Did the thing you shouldn't do, got my dog another pet dog two months later. Hit it off, love each other.
Now I had to get some barn cats. Again went to the shelter and picked up two brothers. Were house cats, so a lot was up in the air.
They immediately took to the outside, made everything their own. My two dogs don't bother them (they even learned to leave the chickens) so they're coexisting. The cats won't touch the chickens either.
I'm so so fucking lucky. Every adoption could've gone horrible. And yeah, all of them are fucking weird. My one dog (100% village dog) likes just chilling on the upper floor of my house. She does her own thing. Her pet dog I got (German shepherd /Russian farm dog/golden) is just at my side. Never a leash needed, can work outside on the farm no worries. He'll just be here. Hell, if I ever cry, both are at my side and won't leave me alone with licks and paws..
I'm so fucking lucky and I love them all so damn much. I do also hope they love their lives too. By the way they want to please and come running, and are always up for adventure.. I really hope they do too.

High five. Just not made for human contact, I suppose. But don't go throwing yourself down some stairs because. Stop punishing yourself for being.. Human. I'm sure you're not half as bad as you like to think. And since I assume you're not catholic, stop with the self-flagellation. Be the bad bitch you were meant to be.

I've been really into cooking healthy and cheap meals, and been improving my cooking skills and nutrition knowledge. Today I made an easy quick veggie soup. I used bone broth that I made myself and had frozen, tomatoes, a sweet potato, peas, kidney beans, and lentils. Along with thyme, basil, black pepper, and garlic. After it was done cooking I tasted it and it tasted just like chili. No meat but just as much protein as meat. It's cold outside so it's nice to have a warm, nutritious veggie chili today! And I made enough to last the week. It can even be frozen for a longer time if I want.

I’ve been rereading the Bell Jar in a depressive funk. and when I read this passage it just struck me in such a way. This is almost exactly how I’ve been stuck looking at life. But with this introspection I’ve found so much joy because no longer feel so paralyzed in the things I want to do in life! I only have one life why waste it just wanting and wishing when I could actually live it? Why be cornered into just one talent or passion in life when I can be a renaissance woman?

I'm glad that getting older has made me more accepting of my face. When I was younger, I wanted to get a nose job and cheek fillers. I'm slightly slightly older and I'm glad I didn't do anything to my face. I did get botox on multiple parts of my face a few months ago, but it didn't do anything to change my face outside of making my TMJ headaches easier to deal with (but I guess that was the point). I still feel insecure about the way I look but, it's no longer to the point of wanting to change it.

I spent hours washing and waxing my truck yesterday. It looks pretty good! Took the seats out last weekend and vaccumed 20+ years of nasty out. The inside looks almost brand new, or at least like it isnt 25 years old. Working on the outside now too. I want to restore the clear coat that is flaking off. I did some basic maintenance on it yesterday too, runs better now and sounds great. Got oil change done. My vehicle is one of my most prized posessions. Someone stopped to ask if I was interested in selling it while I was working on it yesterday kek. I get asked a lot about how many people offer to buy it from me randomly, which is ironic because that was the first time (yesterday) Ive ever actually been asked directly to sell it, rather than questioning how many people ask me to sell it. You cant get small trucks anymore here and so my 25 year old one keeps going up in value despite more and more miles/age/wear. Insanity. Ill never sell it, I want to learn how to keep fixing it and maintaining it, and use it as long as I possibly can. I paid cash for it a few years ago, so I own it outright and its the 1st time Ive purchased something like that. My truck brings me so much joy. Working on it and actually fixing the problems/gaining understanding of how everything works is really satisfying. Id love to be a mechanic if the pay structure wasnt so retarded.

anyway, she just started uni this year, on a course that is all girls, and now she has female friends! a social life! a girlfriend! she barely uses social media any more, and being around normie women all the time made her embarrassed to be pretending to be a boy.

so now she's back to her real name, and doesn't want testosterone, and took down her gofundme. she just posted this selfie and i have never felt more relieved about how happy she looks now. sometimes everything does work out just fine! i'm just feeling so happy rn, i love everyone and everything!(why would you dox your own cousin by posting a picture)

I was having a stressful week and I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone about it, but you helped me more than you can imagine. It may look like nothing of importance at first, but you were actually more helpful than my family. Thank you for being so kind and I wish you all wonderful holidays!

I've stopped dying my hair because i wanted to save money and accept my natural looks (always used normal dyes) and i had 2 people i care about spontaneously compliment my hair color in a very genuine way, i feel weirdly noticed and i'm kinda starting to like my color just because of them, i've always found it super dull and boring but being complimented for my natural color feels really different than being complimented on a dye

Ever since we finally admitted our feelings to each other in October, we spent time getting to know each other. I am about to graduate in the spring and was planning on moving to his state anyways. So I really hope this works out. If it doesn't, at least I can feel happy that I went for it. I won't have to worry about "what if" one day.

This is going to sound super autistic but i'm happy that i don't hate myself for being attractive anymore, i know it sounds stupid but it always caused me a lot of issues with both sexes. Right now i feel particularly happy that i'm not oblivious to how men act with me or see me, i would never really try to date an irl moid now and i feel happy about the fact that i'm still a virgin. I'm not valuing myself on those things, it's just that i've always felt so bad about this side of me and i'm happy that now it's changed. This is the autistic part but going through that made me appreciate things i now really love like kuudere husbandos, i can't express how much they make me happy and i know i can't have something like that irl so i'm just glad that i can enjoy them in a way or another. I'm not even a yumejo but that's alright with me, i just have my way of liking things and i don't feel alone anymore when i'm not able to feel like i belong to a certain group. I'm really happy that i got over these issues and feel comfortable with myself.

I finally found the courage and told my abusive boyfriend that I'm leaving him. It's over… On one hand, I'm nervous about the potential fallout, but on the other hand, I'm free! No more living as though I was under a dictatorship. No man is going to lay his hands on me again, either in violence or in lust… Wahoo!! I am going to cherish my life because I now know that it's worth a lot more than giving up to a guy who regularly throws tantrums over video games that he doesn't like (and even ones that he does, what the heck).

My first two weeks I've had a proper staycation to myself since I left my physically abusive ex. I've felt so relaxed you have no idea. I'd had moments alone before but this is actually bliss. Had ramen this week, having more ramen today. Life is good.
I'm so glad for everynonna here helping to make me feel better in my feelings regarding leaving him, abusive scrotes in general, and in not feeling bad about not feeling capable of leaving sooner. Being around women speaking candidly about these facts has been healing. I've also been feeling better about "losing" my 20s because I've got a few years left plus 30 isn't old at all. In fact, it seems freeing as a woman in terms of being ignored by men. It also helped that I went to a gay bar and met actual lesbians a few months back which was so nice. They were in their 40s having a roaring time. I need to go back there soon and hopefully run into them again

Been apartment hunting because lease is up on my current place (neighbors suck so hard and their maintenance was garbage/creepy men who would come in unannounced and not give you the five minutes you’re yelling for bc you just got out of the shower).
Today my boss told me that corporate will give me a 30% discount on their freshly remodeled, two bed two bath. I pay no security deposit, no application fee, none of the extra charges besides wifi and 2 utilities. It really is a luxury apartment for the same price as the shithole I’ve paid for in the last few years. I’ll be saving so much money on gas and groceries, I won’t even have to drive to the office in the warmer months, I can just walk if it’s nice out. I’m so happy and so excited. I can actually afford to support adopting a cat now because of this and I’m so damn proud of myself for hanging in there with all the long hours.

Sure, he could be attracted to me before he knew my age, but he was decent and considerate enough not to hit on me at a time when he thought I might be too young for him. I heard gross stories from women who were hit on by men their age because the men thought those women were much younger and then when they found out they weren't actually in their teens/early 20s they were losing interest in them.

He has built them a big half pipe in the front yard, and there's a big banner/tapestry on the side that faces the road that says something about like girl power or whatever.

Mine has autism, he's not perfect but he has a good heart. For what he lacks in social skills, he has his own awkward ways of expressing that he cares.

I hope this counts as positivity but I went to my first recovery session for drinking. I was dreading going for weeks but it was way better than I thought it was. I also thought it was going to be a lot of "how does that make you feel" but she explained a lot of psychology and brain stuff that I found interesting and helpful. She was really thorough and although it's not going to be easy the steps she gave me seem doable yet things I hadn't even thought of because my methods of trying to stop didn't work for me for years (hence going for professional help). The other good news is my bloodtests came back really good except for my b12, but I was also vegan for years so that could explain that.

Correct yourself in the moment when a negative thought enters and say the opposite to yourself. A healthy dose of delulu might help (if you're like me and naturally think "I'm just being reasonable/practical"). Overthinking? Disrupt that thought spiral with a "is it that deep?". Sounds daft but many a time I've ended up giggling at how worried I was about a thing that in perspective, isn't that big a deal. Start listening to more upbeat music, both in melody and lyrics. If you watch negative media; news, crime shows, sad documentaries, curtail that. Practice gratitude if you don't already. Having a coffee that you love? Really appreciate that. It's easy to build up with the tiny things we take for granted. Hopefully something here will resonate/help nonnie.

If you're not watching live television broadcasts, you don't need a tv license and the only exception to this is BBC iplayer streaming service. The best thing to do is to use a computer monitor as a television, connect it to a television and watch streaming services or sail the high seas and torrent whatever you want.

I'm not very experienced with men, I had only two make out sessions in my life with two different guys; just touching and kissing. And it's amazing how different it felt the second time. The first one was terrible, the guy immediately went for touching my breasts and my ass and trying to stick his fingers in my pants, and I was too paralyzed and confused to stop him, I just froze, his touch was aggressive and horny, I felt no love in it, it was just like kneading a fucking piece of dough, not touching another human, he kissed me on the lips and tried to go for a deeper kiss but I felt too disgusted to let him, his mouth smelled, his teeth weren't really clean, he was sweaty, just uhghhhh terrible experience that left me feeling dirty inside and out and I was afraid every next one would be the same. That it just is
that way. I stopped seeing that guy over a year ago, and two days ago I went on a date with my coworker whom I had a crush on for a longer time (and find out he also liked me a lot) and I really wanted to meet him. That was out second meeting in a private setting overall. We talked for literally 7 hours, like the whole night. And then we were just staring at each other in silence and touching hands. And then he leaned for a kiss. At first it was just two delicate kisses but I just melted into it and let him in, even though I was so, so afraid that it would be disgusting. He put his tounge in my mouth and I felt like it was such an invasive and strange sensation but… for some reason it just didn't feel bad. There was no taste and no smell. To my surprise, I wasn't even disgusted by the saliva (normally I have a problem with that in everyday life and I wouldn't even share a bottle with one person kek). I was so overwhelmed I started breathing so heavily and loud and he gave me some time, he asked if everything was all right, told me to take a deep breath etc. And then again. He also started touching me but he never tried to touch more intimate parts of my body like my breasts or ass, just my back, arms, ribs, and he was way more delicate and subtle and it felt like caressing, like he was actually touching me as a person, his kisses on my neck weren't painful like the other guy either, just the right amount of pressure. I just didn't want it to end. Besides feeling shocked that it was so pleasurable although strange, I also felt surprised that it was as if he just knew how to touch me, without me telling him anything, like he knew my body. Well I'm a touch starved autist who was never hugged and after my first experience with a dude I was SO sure it would always be just disgusting and unpleasant and objectifying and there's no point in trying again, but this, this felt so different and good. I never went through "that" phase as a teenager and now I'm in my late 20s and it's the first time in my life I experience something like this. Fuckkkk I never thought I could actually experience it and take pleasure from it, my life is altered. What is this magic???

I've finally started loving going to the gym since I started in september, it's still a hurdle to actually get there but once I get going I absolutely love it. I love how I feel my body slowly growing stronger and more resilient, I love feeling the sweat on my body and I'm starting to want to push myself more rather than staying in my comfort zone.

Just don't push yourself too hard at the start, if you aren't used to going to the gym it can be a bit intimidating so consider the days you actually go a victory even if you're just there for 20 minutes. It's better to get the habit to just go rather than skip, because every time you skip in a row will just make it harder.
Just phasing in the habit is a pretty good start so it won't feel overwhelming, at least that's what worked for me so I could get consistent without feeling guilty. You can do it nona, I wish you all the luck!

I stopped by my old job last night since it was close to the restaurant where I was meeting a friend for dinner. My long time friend that I met at this job was still there (I pray for her escape one day) and I was so excited to see her since I haven’t seen her or even texted her in like two years!!! We only had a little time to catch up but she’s off this weekend so we’re gonna go out together! Before I left I told her “i love you” and she said it back and I think it is so great to have close friends to say that to and hear it back from.

I used to always be obsessed with romantic love and having a partner and tied a lot of my self worth to it. But nowadays I have a good number of friends who I truly love and consider the loves of my life and who love me back and we don’t hesitate to tell each other that we love each other. I am so happy and fortunate to have them in my life, to have their love in my life.

There is a niche topic that I've had a sort of affinity/fixation with for since I was a kid and I was always very sad that nobody else cared or knew anything about it (I don't really want to say what it is in case I'm identifiable by it). I had an awful ex bf who, among genuine abuses and violent behavior, would call me annoying for it and sneer that I need to curb my autism because nobody cares and constantly told me to shut up because everything I ever said was retarded.
Well, I met someone with the same interest, in fact he seems to be more into it than me. It's so cool that I can bring up a part of it and instead of being met with indifference or confusion or mocking, he already knows what I'm talking about and gets excited with me. So there, I managed to meet someone with the same flavor of autism as me, and he listens carefully and finds my input to be interesting and intelligent, and the other guy's life is a miserable lonely mess because he's a jerk who puts down everyone.

When I started uni last term I felt like such an outcast, I couldn't really get into any of the cliques that were forming so I usually scuttled away to eat lunch on my own in some corner. I'm not exactly an introvert, but I'm a bit awkward and hate myself for it and I'm pretty damn sure it shows.
But now I've formed some really good friendships with some of them, and I hope we stay friends once we're done with school in 1,5 years. This is making uni so much fun and even if group projects tend to be a bit tedious I look forward to doing them with my mates.

I'm so happy to have found my person in real life. Online dating made me desperate in the past. I staid in shitty relationships. Media influence made me believe and hope that I can change them and that they'll come around. Fuck that! Finally I've someone who wants the same things from life. All this spark vs. no spark nonsense is intuition irl that gets lost with online dating.

The Nancy Drew game series was in limbo for so many years due to issues in switching game engines and a push towards mobile games initially (new CEO didn't seem to initially know why fans liked the company). It was a struggle to get the last game out and it looked like it was the end of the series…
Until now!!! Penny (new CEO) kept everyone, she let them take literal years to learn Unity since she was determined to get them on a new engine, listened to staff and fans really chewing her out and made changes (or at least went more behind the scenes), and the new game is coming out sometime this year or early next year!!! Holy shit a ceo who cared enough to lose money for years to allow everyone to move in the right direction. She also pushed the merch line harder and honestly I am so tempted to buy a bunch of stuff because they made mostly community injoke items. They even recreated this absolutely ugly t-shirt that Nancy had in her suitcase in one game that fans have made fun of since like 2008.
I'm so unbelievably happy, and also so happy for the team at the studio. I absolutely did not expect a happy ending to this studio and had pretty much written everything off about the CEO too since she had a terrible start.

I went to a bridal shower for one of my friends yesterday (two of them are getting married this month or early next month) and it was SO MUCH FUN. It was a tea party in a state museum. My best friend drove me because I hate parallel parking in the city and we had so much fun hanging out!! I tried a macaroon for my first time and it was so good, it was raspberry flavor. Afterwards we walked her dog and then she came over to my new apartment to hang out. We watched documentaries and talked for 7 hours about literally everything under the sun. I haven’t had a tight friend group of normal, genuinely nice people since sportsball in college because I moved across the country and didn’t know anyone besides family. Feeling so grateful and happy to have them all in my life. I love playing board games on the weekends with them and when we gather for friendsmas & friendsgiving. They don’t look down on me for being kinda shy and dressing sporty. I look up to them a bunch and I can’t wait to have enough saved so that we can maybe do a roadtrip in the summer to the coast. I feel like all the shitty things that happened to me and pushing through struggles with my health are finally paying off. My friend even told me that she looked up to me a lot yesterday and I cried it meant so much. I love these ladies bunches and I hope I get to help out when they have kiddos. I just gotta get this stupid surgery scheduled for my intestines, and I feel less afraid about it now because of the nonnas that gave me support in the confessions thread a while back, and I know my friends will be there for me when I wake up after. Even the weather feels like it’s celebrating with me. It’s fun to be alive again and I’m going to keep working hard so it stays that way!!

I love my friends who invite me to spend time with them and share our thoughts with each other. I love the people in my community who smile at me and are nice and the older people who guide and mentor me. I love my boyfriend, he is really the kindest, most patient, most gentle soul I have ever known and he cherishes me for all my unusual quirks and never makes me feel anything less than safe and beloved despite how insecure I can feel about all the horrors I've been through. And what a surprise and a comfort that is after my past experiences, I didn't know it was possible for a man to be like that. I love all the lovely things I can do in life, today I ate strawberries outside in the sun, and yesterday I cooked some pasta, and I am just so happy to be alive and to be free. It was all worth it.

Next I went to a new ramen place and got a delicious bowl of tonkotsu ramen before going home and taking a three hour nap while listening to my favorite podcasts.

Thanks nonna. I feel I’ve wasted my youth being overly self conscious and quite frankly shallow. Im still pretty young (late 20s) but having to acknowledge I won’t be forever.

jumping off of this to say you sound intelligent and filled with self-reflection nona, I believe that you will be able to really develop and grow your personality beyond focusing on looks because you seem to have a good foundation already. Having a level head really takes you far and it seems like you're already there. Plus you're here so you must have your own interesting quirks and things I'm sure that lend to being a unique and fun person. You're still young and now you can focus on real things you can grow and improve on, so many people focus on the wrong things in life for far longer than you have. The mind never stops learning once you set yourself on the path of knowledge and learning. It's never too late, even with your "adult brain" the brain never stops growing

I think life may be looking up for me after all. I've basically spent all four years of college severely depressed. I have been dependent on marijuana and I have smoked every day for four years. I have reduced my usage to just once a day before bed. Today I decided to schedule appointments with a therapist, dentist (to care for my depression teeth), and an optometrist (because I have spent so long hating my appearance due to ugly glasses– I am going to get contacts). I feel like life might actually not be so bad after all. I think about killing myself every day, but today I thought I could possibly make a change given that I graduate in May. I know it has only been a few hours, but I feel so much better and more hopeful. I also have deleted IG and TikTok (I know….) from my phone and deleted the accounts. I plan to take up more time for my hobbies and try to make some female friends. I am excited for what is to come, friends. Thank you for listening.

Well let's celebrate all that nona! Picrel. Good for you. I was in the same boat as you at one point in my life, smoking a HQ every day and just doping myself up because I didn't wanna deal with my problems like an adult, but just like you I eventually decided to woman up and take care of myself, just like you have. It might be hard now, but trust in the process because it is going to continue to improve. Quitting marihuana completely helped my symptoms of depression, to the point where I wonder now why the hell I was even smoking dope in the first place. I always tell this to people but pot is the ultimate mind-kiler, we think it helps us but it doesn't. Nowadays I only smoke maybe once every few months when me and my friends get together and decide to go to a buffet kek.
>I think about killing myself every day.
That too will pass. You shouldn't kill yourself just because we all already will die on our body's own accord, why fuck up the natural process and do it ourselves? Life is too good and the world is too big to end it this early nona. Your therapist is gonna help you out big time.

Studies on therapy show that even deciding you need therapy has long term health benefits. Apparently once you subconsciously make the decision that you want to get better, you automatically start to. So even if you can't follow through, chemically, you're already a little bit better.

I love my cat so much, and he always reminds me with his little cat body language that I am loved and not alone. I love his little tail quivers/vibrations when he meets me as I get through the door in the evening, I love his little cat kisses, I love how he now lies beside me at the bed head, turning his little belly upp in the air with a loud sigh after washing himself. All signs that he is safe, happy and relaxed.
I love how whenever I feel like an unlovable waste of space I can pick him up and cradle him in my arms while he softly purrs, or whenever I'm having a rough night I can call for him to come and let me hug him for a while. I just love the bond we share and I wish I could take him everywhere with me like an emotional support animal.

women will write thousands of pages of the most elaborate and beautiful stories, make animations, little soundtrack playlists and such, and they do it for free so we can all enjoy it. They do it just because they love it.

There are feral cats that live in the parking lot of my building. They are scared of and rarely get close to people, but I've been feeding them every day and the biggest one is becoming friendlier to me. He will walk very close to me whenever he sees me in the parking lot, but won't let me within petting distance. When he sees me he usually hisses, so I started to meow back at him hoping he'll pick it up. Today was the first time he actually meowed! It was a little bit squeaky but also funny because once he discovered he could, he kept meowing at me until I set his food down. I'm so happy about this and I hope all the cats can reach this level soon.

I'm very happy with how my life is right now. It's nothing special. I go to work, I come home, I read and research topics that are very interesting to me. Sometimes I call my friends or have dinner with them. I have one online friend who I love so much and feel truly understands me. I have a hyperfixation on some historical man who I love more with more feeling than any man I meet could probably elicit in me.

Sure, there are things that happen that stress me out on occasion, but these feelings don't overwhemingly destroy my mood anymore. It's like I don't care about anything anymore, but in a good way? As long as I can read and research my favorite topics and talk to my online friend, I could care less about anything else. Now that it's warmer, I want to go hiking more too. I don't care if life is meaningless or what my purpose is. Those little things make my life feel very full. I hope this feeling can last for a long time.

We got to take each other's khv status and laugh at the LARPing honbian t4t couples we see in public together (they will never be us kek). Being with someone like this is so refreshing after dating a libfem handmaiden where I felt like I was constantly hiding a part of myself in fear of saying the wrong thing and offending the other person. I could never handle that feeling again, and looking back it was mentally exhausting and so not worth it. I'm just so happy and grateful I finally found someone in this universe with whom I can unapologetically be myself. It almost feels like I'm dreaming when I think about it. if you're reading this nonny ily and your autism ♥

I messed up my sleep schedule last Saturday because I partied with my friends until 1 am.

I just adopted my cat last weekend and we have such a strong bond I can't believe it. We cuddle so much, she's always showing me her belly, her meows are so cute and she follows me around. We can't sleep together because she keeps my boyfriend awake but she's in the nearby guestroom when I wake up in the morning, and every morning I'm actually excited to get up early to have more time to cuddle her, play and feed her. Life still isn't perfect but I feel so much happier whenever she sits in my lap during a boring ass meeting, or I can take a break and play with her.
I don't know what I did to deserve her trusting me so much already; maybe she's just happy because her previous owners were neglectful and her health was really bad while she was in the shelter. But I'm so grateful and I want to do everything I can to make her a happy, healthy girl.

I think I hit the jackpot with my brother. I love him so much and I really think he's the world's best brother ever. It's crazy to me when I see other people's brothers and they're all such vile beastly moids. I hate all moids on the planet but my brother really is the only moid I love and care about. First of all, he's gay so none of the degeneracy of most moids. He's not like the other disgusting degen gay moids either that only care about gross fetishes and hate monogamy. In fact, he hates most other gay moids and thinks they're either vile, or cringe. He has normal taste in guys, thank god kek. We actually have similar tastes. Anyway, he's just a sweet and gentle dude who happens to experience same-sex attraction and wants to find his one true love and have a cute family kek. He's also not misogynistic like other gay moids tend to be. He's a gentle soul and super kind to everyone. He also never let peer pressure get to him and always held his own. He's intelligent as hell, and always has been since a young age. Even at 8 he was intelligent and I could talk to him easily about more complicated things. He's really kind too (sometimes too kind, worries me sometimes). He's my closest friend and we can talk to each other about anything at all. There's nothing we can't tell each other. He's the only person I can talk to about gc stuff and hating trannies. He's super kind and is always helping me out with things, and he's super caring too. Sometimes he acts like he's the older sibling kek, he gives good advice, and if I get sick or injured he'll immediately come to take care of me. But he's also funny as hell (genuinely funny, not the shitty tiktok zoomer 'humour') and we joke around alot and have fun hanging out watching movies or playing games. He's always thanking me for being his big sister and saying if it wasn't for me, he could've turned out like other moids, but I don't think so. I truly think he's a special soul and I'm glad I got him as a brother. I think there are probably less than 100 moids on the planet like him. The rest of my family is insane and if he was a regular moid brother, I probably would have lost my sanity long ago. It's nice to have a sibling who's also your best friend. I don't have kids and am not interested in having any either but he's kind of like a son to me, I guess. I enjoyed raising him, and I think I raised him well. I'm so proud of him kek.

I just wanted to share a small private victory: I went bowling tonight and I didn’t drink. I’ve never actually gone bowling as an adult WITHOUT having a beer. I was worried tonight would be a struggle. Somehow, though, when my friends at the other lane ordered a pitcher I had the willpower to not grab a glass. Last week while playing with friends, I had two large mugs, which was enough to make me feel hot, sweaty, irritable and frustrated with my game by the end. But tonight, I had an iced tea and a Diet Coke and ended the night laughing and cracking jokes. I’m tired of being a grumpy, chubby alcoholic and I’m sick of not recognizing myself in pictures. I’m excited to get my mind and body back. I already kicked nicotine’s ass, I can do this too.

It’s also my first time running outdoors!! I’m not the fastest runner but I participated last year, only walking the course, and I wanted to try running it this year so since last summer I’ve started training and running 2x a week and I DID IT!!!!

Running isn’t my preferred form of exercise (on the spectrum of enjoyable to self harm, it’s much closer to self harm kek), but I set a goal for myself and I exceeded it and honestly I’m blown away that I finished 5 whole minutes faster than I anticipated.

Just 2 years ago I had the worst eating habits you could imagine - all I was eating was ramen, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, tomatoes and these instant soups you make by adding hot water. It wasn't even because of poverty but because I was a disorganized and confused college freshman who had no idea how to live on her own while juggling house tasks and college. But as I opened the fridge today I realized how much I've improved in this regard - it's filled with fruits, vegetables, eggs, fish, juices and healthy meals I plan and cook every week. I may still be struggling in many other areas of my life but I'll still celebrate every small step in the right direction and I'm so happy that at least in this department I managed to make such a huge improvement.

My dog is Mr. Congeniality wherever we go and in our neighborhood. We have a geriatric neighbor that whistles for my dog, and if my dog is outside with my mom in the garden, he will go over and greet the old man. Everyone loves him, he's so friendly, playful, and well-mannered. Even though he is a traditionally 'intimidating' breed he was actually cross-bred with a golden so he has very soft bitch characteristics which add to his likeability.

He is my first ever dog so I took a lot of care into training him and I'm so proud of his temperament. It feels a little like having a very mannered kid that everyone compliments kek. Growing up I never liked dogs because my cousin's dogs for instance were poorly trained, ugly, and annoying fucking shits who got shoved down my throat at family holidays and gatherings. I didn't know great dogs existed outside of movies.
Who knew with the correct boundaries, interaction, and love that a dog could make a great companion? I care about and love him so much and I'm so proud of him!

getting into the hobby of having pet isopods has brought so much joy into my life. my friend randomly spurred a colony onto me when hers were overcrowding, and i was unsure about taking them, but i have always loved bugs and especially roly polys, so i decided to go for it. now i have my original colony that is absolutely thriving and has had many generations of pods, and a new wild caught colony as well that are just now starting to breed which has been so so fun and exciting.

i think it really nurtures a feeling of childlike wonder in me. when i was little, there was an isopod colony living in a thing of old wood near my house. i loved sitting and watching them go about their tiny lives. they've always been one of my favorite bugs. now i have cultivated these little worlds for them, really high quality, well kept environments where they are completely free of predators or stress and can simply enjoy themselves and eat repashy morning wood and run around. i love how much personality they seem to have and how they interact with eachother. i love watching them get so hype when i refresh their enclosure or give them special snacks. i love how their babies just look like microscopically tiny versions of the adults. how fucking cute. my nigel and i just stand and watch them together all the time. they are all so special to me and i love them.

I had a phase of my life where I realized that this inner image of a younger me that I protected was truly dead for an entire year. My heart was absolutely shattered thinking about how I failed to protect her, and how in my head there was only an empty bed left behind in my old room. I think I've finally moved on, I think she's in a better place now, and whatever I'll be doing in the future is for her memory. Even if I don't believe in what she believed in, I just want to do it anyways to show her that she wasn't stupid, and that she wasn't wrong.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I don't know if this helps or not, but I can guarantee that you don't look weird to anyone but yourself. There was a TIF I worked with ages ago who was probably on the path to detransition, she came in a few times without a binder and the only reason anyone was able to tell anything was different was how twitchy and weird she was, she kept pawing at her chest and looking around to see if anyone had noticed. So if you're worried about standing out, don't be, you're fine.
And props for getting out of the cult. That takes serious courage.

Today my cousin called me panicked because she found out shes pregnant and wants an abortion. She was going to lunch with her mom / my aunt and asked for support. Not only did I support her, but we walked through worst case scenarios of her mom’s possible reactions.
They had a great lunch and of course her mom is supportive. Then I got thank you texts from both of them.
I just love my ladies and Im always a call away. I appreciate being a helpful person.

Also! I bought hair shears and cut my hair today- pretty basic layers with curtain bangs and then used the thinning shears throughout to give a little umph- it came out FANTASTIC!
Much better than my last attempt- age 4, cutting my hair under a blanket. I rocked that mullet back then though!
What a day, what a life.

The teacher gave us way too much homework and I was sacrificing my sleep just so I can write all the assignments, learn the vocabulary and go to class prepared. By the end of it I was so burned out that I spent all of my free time sleeping. But today we received our exam results and I got 94%!

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon may be one of the best business laptops you can get your hands on. This isn’t your average laptop. It’s a high-end product that combines the latest Intel hardware with a lot of extra touches that make it just nice to use. It incorporates carbon fiber to make it more lightweight and durable. Of course, it also costs more than a typical thin and light machine, and the CPU performance [REDACTED FOR NEGATIVITY].

recently got information that my shitty ex is suffering in the same shitty apartment with the same shitty neighbors and landlord. SEVEN YEARS he's been getting bit by bedbugs and having his place infested by roaches. I got out of there because of him, and I see he's complaining about the domestic violence and drug use that the neighbors are into, and it makes me laugh, thinking he thinks he's better than them, when the only difference is he's white and younger, he's still an immature emotional hyper-angry shithead, and he's still suffering in the same place. I am living for this. Can't share this with "friends" because I haven't given them the full extent of what happened, just that he's my ex and I left him. I love it. Schadenfreude for the win

After years of recovery from 2 really traumatic relationships, I finally feel whole again and not like im just worth my body. I have made so many strides within the past few months. Im finally in a healthy relationship, Im going back to school next month, I applied for case management and Im now able to sit with my emotions and be kind to myself instead of punishing myself and my body.

To top it off, both of my ex's are miserable. One has barely any hair left, is dating a fat moid, and is stuck working at a grocery store where he talks shit about my family and I to his coworkers. The other one is a fat, druggie, wannabe standup comedian on the verge of suicide. I always thought that I would never find happiness because those relationship's made me feel so worthless and unlovable, but now I think karma is real. Im so happy to be alive again

Last night I had a hard discussion with my mother and we wound up crying together and our relationship is stronger. I thought she knew about my SA (COCSA) because of how long ago it was and the circumstances surrounding it, but nobody did. Apparently, her mom (my grandma) didn't tell her anything. Or anyone else. And I already forgive my grandma. Kids do kid things, it was the shame that I carried for almost 20 something years of my life that changed me so much, and then the feeling of being used that affected me so deeply. My mom told me that if anybody had known, "we would have defended and protected you and been in your corner" and that if my little brother knew he would have "shot that motherfucker" so … That's enough for me. Knowing that it wasn't that they didn't care, but that they didn't KNOW? I can forgive them all. I can also move on now. I had worked through that shame, and it kept bothering me because I believed my parents wanted me to get over it, or that it wasn't a big deal. But they actually… didn't… know. Whew.

I'm going to try to meet up with my old college friends too!!! The airbnb won't be the cheapest since I'm not splitting it but the airfare is so dirt cheap that it just evens itself out.

So happy for you nonna! Best of luck with your studies and I hope you will have great professors and meet great people ♥! I did not end up using my degree but I still look back very fondly on my college days. Even if you stray from your original path, I hope everything will work out in your favor. It's so cheesy to say, but I think your college years can be some of the best years of your life! They were for me, and things only seemed to keep going up since graduating. I hope your life will be the same, you deserve to be happy and have good things in your life.

Thank you so much nonny. I am in grad school after no longer being physically able to do my prior career path. It was a big change and a bit of a gamble that my ex moid berated me for, but I’m glad I made the choice to go back to school. I’m excited to be here.

How did you get an airfare that cheap

No. 2152045

>>2149455
Pure stupid dumb luck!! The fare was actually $823, which I still think is a massive steal especially considering it's a direct flight into Haneda, in regular economy. American Airlines offered a $700 roundtrip ticket but it was in basic economy only. I got it down to $523 because my credit card has a $300 travel credit that expires at the end of the year that I have to use. I was looking through my credit card's travel portal (have to book through their travel portal to use the credit) and I was thoroughly expecting to get scammed with high prices or just pay my regular $1200 fare (minus the $300). Even prepandemic I never saw tickets as low as $800 unless it had long layovers or was for something like China Airlines. I'm truly dumbfounded that I got these tickets. I saw $1100 tickets for JAL on expedia and I even thought that was a steal!! I could've paid nothing for the flight since I had enough miles to cover the remainder of my fare but I'm opting to transfer out my miles to a partner to get more value out of them. I have the Capital One Venture X card if anyone is curious. There is a $450 annual fee I think out of most travel cards, it's easier to earn back your fee compared to other cards.

Only flights in Oct/Nov were this low, everything December onwards was regular pricing. I really can't figure out why they were so cheap. It works out since I like to visit any season outside of summer kek.

>>2149417
I haven't figured out an itinerary yet… I really should figure something out kek. I definitely want to visit all of my old stomping grounds and I'm hoping to stay in Ikebukuro since that's my favorite neighborhood and I hung out there quite a bit as a student. I'll meander through all the touristy spots like Harajuku and Asakusa and Shibuya because why not? Even though I've been there multiple times I still like going. There's also lots of spots I just somehow never visited like the Imperial Gardens!

I think for a first trip you absolutely can't go wrong with Tokyo. I think it's fun to come and experience Japan and hit up all the famous spots and do fun touristy things. Maybe take the shinkansen to Osaka/Kyoto if you plan to stay for 2 weeks and do a week in both cities. I know people love that 'off the beaten path' stuff, and Japan has soooooo much to offer outside of Tokyo… but if it's your first time I think it's definitely worth experiencing!

Even though I lived there for a year I was going through regular young adult dramatics (crippling depression kek) so I missed out on exploring more of those 'off the beaten path' places. I did manage to make it out to a couple of places though! I was adamant about not returning to Tokyo so I could explore more the next time I went back… but alas…! I will still have lots of fun though kek.

I was curious and went through all of my accounts and discovered I have 110k saved to my name. Holy shit. I can't believe I have this much money. I'm constantly paranoid about not having enough in savings to save my family from financial catastrophe that I'll even hoard gift cards and my cashback/cc points (I keep thinking I need back up plans for my back up plans for my back up plans), so this feels like a sigh of relief.

I'm still going to aggressively save because the majority of the money is in my retirement accounts so it's not money I'd like to touch until the last possible moment, and I'm working towards saving 100k for a home downpayment. I'm very fortunate that I live at home with my parents and have zero debt.

I hope I can share some of my financial blessings and luck with you, my sisters. ♥

Stopped wearing makeup a few years ago and recently my acne cleared up too. It's been a long healing process (still a lot of redness and definitely going to have lasting scars) but I had to record a video for something today and my skin genuinely looked great. I used to hate when the sunlight would hit my skin because any glimpses I caught of myself in the rearview mirror or in storeshop windows etc at times like that, the light seemed to just highlight the horrible state of my skin. But sitting in that sunbeam by the window, I was just glowing today.
The past half year has also just been very mentally restorative for me, so this felt like my outside reflecting the progress of my inside. All around good moment.

You never feel self conscious about your body or your workout because you're there with a bunch of old ladies who definitely don't care.

Also although my gym does encourage strength training as a priority, it's not as popular as the classes so the squat rack is always free when I go kek so I'm not complaining.

Even though I still have my flaws and moments where I feel down, it's really meaningful looking back and thinking about how much life has gotten better. A lot of people who started off life similarly to me don't make it out of the downwards spiral but miraculously I escaped the pit. I never feel suicidal anymore, I am no longer being abused, I have a much healthier view of myself (and women in general), I have loving relationships in my life, I have a much greater sense of love and kindness for others, and I'm confident in saying that several of my old vices are now done and buried.
I think growing up I had a pervasive perception that like, you either start off on the right foot in life or you screw yourself up into a disgusting loser forever and it's irreversible if you hit x age and are still not fixed, and sometimes I think I still have a bit of that remnant mentality. But I want to be able to inspire people that although I didn't have a wholesome life for a long time, it's never too late for things to be saved.

I started a skincare routine for the first time ever about a week ago and I'm already so happy with the results. I'm nowhere near where I want to be and I definitely want to change some products, but I can see the texture disappearing from my face and my pores getting smaller so I don't have big ass holes on my face. Plus my skin is always soft now. I hope it starts really paying off in a few months. Learning about skincare has also been fun albeit confusing.

i started a new antidepressant today and i am hopeful that it will actually work for me! i don’t normally feel very optimistic about trying new medications but this time i really feel like i might be able to get better. wish me luck nonnys, i’m keeping my fingers crossed that this one does the trick. so far the only side effect i’m experiencing is pretty intense nausea but from what i’ve read that’s super common early on. god i just want to be happy

I was feeling kinda down yesterday but pushed myself to go to the store and get some stuff, then a cool lady approached me in the cheese aisle and gave me an extra coupon she had for the exact cheese I was buying like my guardian angel

I'm feeling positive today.
Yesterday I went to the pumpkin patch, picked 3 giant pumpkins and baked the seeds with garlic powder and salt so I have a delicious snack today, I self tanned last night so my skin is glowing and did my nails so they don't look like shit anymore, I'm going to go to my first spin class tonight and then I have a lash appointment with a new tech after that, I have a meet and greet with a new family doctor tomorrow (exciting because I've been on a waiting list for 2 years).
Things are looking up and I'm feeling good about it today.

Every time I spend time with my boyfriend I feel like picrel, I cant believe how cute he is! We met at a mutual friend's party and spent from 8pm to 4am just talking with eachother about videogames, pokemon and movies. He walked me home and I gave him my cardigan because it was really cold and because I was looking for an excuse to see him again kek.
I know I sound silly, but my past relationship was so bad that I just cant help but feel so happy when I think about him

My family and I are going through some hard times currently, but when our relatives heard about it, lots of them contacted us and visited us and offered help with many things. It feels nice. We got closer to so many people and to each other because of this hardship. And I'm grateful for that.

Omg I know I'm late and I have no idea whether you'll even see this reply, nona, but I was just about to post this very same thing. I broke up with my now ex gf today, apparently for the same reasons as you. I was walking on eggshells around her a lot, and she emotionally abused, manipulated and blackmailed me. Nothing I did was good enough, she'd be constantly offended and angry about the most unexpected things and there was always exhausting conflict. A couple of times she threatened me by alluding to suicide/self-harm and she punished me by withholding affection and intentionally making me worry about her safety and well-being. She'd treat me coldly and then blame me for not comforting and coddling HER. She'd humiliate and defame me in front of her children by berating me about being "violent" and talking about how scared of me she was. No more. I'll surely be sad, feel pain, empathize with her and miss our good and happy moments together because that's just how our brains work sometimes, but I know I made the right choice by saving myself and setting myself free. Congratulations and good for you on doing the same, nona.

Whenever I post on here, I try to change small details about myself, like my age, my job or make my cousin my sister or something like that because I'm paranoid my friends would browse on here out of morbid curiosity, see those posts and immediately clock them as me if I didn't do that. Recently though I've realized, even if I didn't know about lolcow at all, all of them would immediately assume I'm on here, anyways, because lolcow equals all of my interests. I'm a gatekeeping weeb (this is said affectionately) into lolita, love shit flinging on the internet and followed the majority of my cows even before lolcow was a thing. Now that I think about it, they'd probably link me to lolcow themselves if they knew about it lmao. Maybe kind of weird for a positivity post, but this realization has been so freeing.

Happy Halloween, nonitas!
I bought a toy camera today and I am so happy with it, it's so fun. It prints these black and white pics using heat, like a receipt, so no ink and the paper is super cheap. Picrel, I took a lot of pics already lol
Tomorrow I'm going to an amusement park with my fiance and not only it will be decorated for Halloween, it's going to be the first time we're going together and the first time I'm going in like 10 years, it's gonna be super fun! Of course I'm taking the silly camera with me, looking really forward to taking a lot of mini faux polaroids with it. Happy days!

I finally got my favorite Arknights characters. W is one of my favorite characters of all time and I know it’s juvenile but I could cry. I have all of the Darknights trio now too. I’m literally so insanely happy.

I'm so thankful that lolcow was my first and seemingly only imageboard. I stumbled across this place around 6 years ago and it's been nice reading material since. I have tried checking out other ibs but they are far too scrote-ish to me since I have lolcow for reference. I definetly dodged a retard poisoned bullet and could have wound up worse if I was a 4chan user before coming here. Thank you for being here lc.

Do you have any herbal tea recommendations? Trying to cut off coffee, but I mostly drink it for the taste so I'd prefer a tea that gives the same amount of satisfaction from tasting good. Do you also drink it with anything or just the tea itself?

NTA but putting in a recommendation for rooibos/red bush tea! It's the most coffee-like of the herbals I've tasted (bright, slightly sweet, acidic and fruity notes) but lacks caffeine.

I will become normal. My mental illness will not rule over me. I will become a normie. My fate is in my hands. This setback was normal, and I will make sure future schizo breakdowns will be shorter and shorter. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

How did you do it in under a week?
And how u recognize when you spiral downwards?

No. 2270069

>>2269913
I recognize when I spiral downwards with how little I socialize, sleep, exercise, clean, do self care, and eat. When I begin spiraling downwards I find myself being messier and taking less care of myself so I try to forgive myself and slowly reintegrate back into normalcy. I begin by doing the things that are easiest to me like cleaning my room, and work up from there. Also occasionally talking to at least one other person with one word responses has helped me stay grounded. I think I was able to get it done in under a week because I had the support of family members who helped me get out of the house so having loved ones plan a simple trip also helps a lot. Let's stay strong and good luck anon!
