>>187900God, anon. I'm in a very similar situation. feeling so lost because i'm developing a HUGE crush on this guy who said he doesn't want to be with anyone because of his previous relationship/mental state/he still likes his ex. His life basically went downhill recently so i get why he'd want to be alone for a while and that he still loves his ex. But he just met this girl and i kind of feel like he may start hitting on her soon. we get along so well, and he himself knows that too, and we even discussed maybe, just maaaybe being together in the future when he's better… so yeah, i feel really shitty right now.

I'm a former ana-chan that started with fitness 2-3 years ago. Over these years I've gained 15kg and now I'm looking normal and am at a healthy weight range.
What really fuck me up is that I'm bulking, and the weight = progress ration is really small. My current goal weight is 55kg (right now I'm at 51kg) The ultimate goal is 60kg and that's probably the max I feel comfortable at. I still feel really small, but also big and the whole thing is fucked up.
What messes with me even more are those before-after picture like pic related, where the persons body changes A LOT within like, 3-5 months.
I think I'll stop at 55kg and see how much fat I can lose

My parents used to be cool. They are 3rd generation legal Mexican Americans and would feed me stories about how when they were in school, they were yelled at if they spoke Spanish and even eating Mexican food got them ridiculed. So every time they saw Mexicans who never bothered to learn English as well as received all sorts of government aid, they got pissed. Hell, they hate when people speak Spanish to them because "this is America. I speak English and so should you"
But then Trump got elected and my mom suddenly did a complete 180. Every time there is news of illegals getting arrested she starts ranting about how evil Trump is. Every time a white person does something stupid she right away says they probably voted for Trump. It's killing me. I just want to remind them that our families fought to come here and did it the right way and there are people doing it illegally and it's unfair. But I know if I do she'll call me racist and probably disown me.
I really want to show her this picture so I can explain to her that it's not ALWAYS about race and it's not just Mexicans doing it.

If talking to him does nothing and he keeps acting jealous with no real reason to be, then yeah, you might have a point to reconsider whether you want to be with him or not.

When I was with my abusive ex, my friends would all shit talk him every single time I saw them. They didn't even know about the abuse and I loved him at the time, so I felt pushed away and hurt. It never feels good to have someone you love shit talked constantly. My friends would "gang up" on me about it, circling the subject over and over during a majority of what little time I had to spend with them.
I felt so pushed away by this, and just generally had a bad time with them because I was already so conflicted. I just wanted to spend time with them to get away from it all- not focus on and be surrounded by negativity that I was trying to escape.
That's not the part I have a problem with. I understand it, and that they just wanted me to be happy.
The issue I have is the following:
Now that I've left him, I want to vent. I've shit talked him drunkly via text, and I wanted to share that with my friends that seemed to be so on my side. I was a savage, and wanted them to get hype with me about the savagery. They don't give a fuck, even leaning towards annoyed when I've tried to talk about it. My best friend since birth took my phone and threw it the first time I tried to tell her when we were drunk.
I'm so frustrated, and feel really fucking unsupported again. I almost feel betrayed, honestly. It's like: So you could endlessly shit talk a person I loved and was with for years for your own sake, but the second I want to get in my word against my abuser you don't have time for me? Okay. Great. Thanks.

I started working at a new restaurant last week and I performed horribly yesterday because we were understaffed and I was so stressed out. And to make things worse I woke up this morning to a text message from a coworker telling me that I forgot to turn off the dishwasher, clean it and do the last dishes. I went into full on panic mode after reading it and had to call my mom to calm down. I started crying, sent my coworker a text back where I apologised and had to wait for a few minutes after she replied because I was so scared of what she was going to say. My mind is painting these disaster scenarios where I come in to work tomorrow and everyone is going to ignore or yell at me. Or that my boss is going to call me and tell me I'm fired. All because I forgot to turn off the dishwasher.
… Okay, now that I've typed this out I realise how stupid this all is and that I probably overreacted. I wish I could be the kind of person that shrugs it off when she makes a mistake instead of breaking down like this every. Fucking. Time.

She doesn't want to accept that our mom is a fucking toxic person, and to top it off, thinks I'm bitter for doing so. I had to stop hoping she would ever change, because she NEVER will. I distance myself from her for my own sanity. I visit my parents 2-3 times a month on weekends, but that's about all the contact we have. No phone calls or texts unless it's about family gatherings or holidays.
The best thing that ever happened to me was when my parents moved across the country and we barely stayed in touch. Made it a lot easier to define my boundaries when they moved back to the area I live in a year later. I know you can't just pick up and move wherever you want on a whim, but physical distance does wonders if you get the chance. I got a little sad from time to time but I think it was more for that fact that I mourn the lack of a supportive mother. I didn't really miss her as a person. My mental health greatly improved that year. It prepared me to handle her quirks or whatever when she came back to town.

I am currently overweight due to health problems, nothing obese or anything, but my BMI is 26ish right now, so deffo into chubster territory. When we started dating, I wasn't stick thin or anything, but I was about 22lbs lighter.
I know my boyfriend loves and cares for me, and we've been together for more than 3 years now, but sometimes he jokes about my weight and when I think too much about it - which is often - I get very sad. Doesn't help that the same condition is making me lose hair like crazy (already lost half the volume of it), so I'm feeling just like a bald pig.
Today I went to the doctor and he said that I will probably start losing weight again once I do my tests and he gives me the right medicine.
So I hope.
I just wish I'd hear a little fewer jokes about my weight gain until then.

And being a very suicidal person myself, I personally know when I tell my friends about what I'm feeling, it can wear them down. I see it on their faces. I'm sure a lot of others know it too but want someone to assure them.
There's nothing wrong for wanting to distance yourself. You can still be there for them but not "all in", you don't necessarily have to drop them. Let them know for afar if it gets really serious you're just a phone call away. Try to avoid investing all your emotions in others, it will drain you dry. Take care of yourself first.

I'm really getting fed up with insecure crazies who need to put others down in order to feel better about themselves (she said on lolcow.farm, I know).
I never know how to deal with them apart from ignoring them, but it's always so hard since they're often so loud and make themselves impossible to ignore.
They always make you feel like shit about your choices and abilities, and while ignoring them makes them think they aren't getting to you, that doesn't stop you from feeling like shit and getting discouraged from pursuing your interests regardless.
It's not something I can help, and people who want to comfort me and make me feel better usually just make it worse with comments like 'you can't let them get to you' and 'you shouldn't listen to them'. I know, but it's hard not to even if I try because people will rarely dedicate themselves so much to lifting others up as these people do to bringing them down.
It's really sad because even if I can clearly see that someone has issues (redpillers, insecure not-like-other-girls a la mystery.jpg), having to listen to someone calling me stupid, weak and helpless for having a vagina and daring to enter a man's gaming/programming safe space 24/7 or daring to be ugly and exist does get you to doubt yourself eventually. Especially if you're constantly surrounded by people like that who all share in that opinion or don't want to concern themselves with the drama.
Groups that encourage women programmers usually just make matters worse, it only makes neckbeards angrier and those women programmer hackathons or whatever rarely do anything useful past talking about doing something useful. And of course men don't have the same problem because they have their bros patting their backs constantly.
I don't want to have to live in a bubble to avoid getting my self-esteem crushed, especially since everyone and their dog tells me to 'put myself out there'. They mean well, but they don't know what it's like to constantly have your work scrutinised by dozens of basement dwellers every day and be called a dumb whore for daring to get one string of code wrong. It's tiresome and I don't want to have to deal with insecure manchildren just for a privilege of doing what I like, because I'll grow to not like it at all if it means having to listen to men explaining to me how I don't REALLY want to do this, how I'm only interested in it for money, how I can't POSSIBLY do any of this, how I'm only here because I've tits, how I should frankly just give up and be a schoolteacher to little kids because 'I'd be more on their level', all day every day for the rest of my life.

Ironically it is your post that reeks from insecurity. My cousin is the same. She's constantly complaining about other people shitting on her work or ambitions. I will tell you the same I told her: they can never take away your achievements. The reason you can't ignore their voices is because you want to comply to their rules, you wan't to be accepted by them. But there's literally no need for that. You can be a successful individual without peer recognition.

I got stuck with a 300 pound social worker who bailed on my second appointment at the office to go get fast food after I'd waited for her for 2 hours.

>>188625They were kids of affluent parents who wanted to put on airs that they were more mature. Which is pretty ironic considering the smack they talked.
If I knew how they were going to abandon me and talk shit like that afterwards I would've just told them to get their parents to buy them new bedsheets the next time they're sent their 'allowance' checks.
But anyway, thank you.

My ex and I have been split up for a year now (and a few months before that he was very distant so it feels like more than a year) and since January he's been actively trying to be my friend again after I spent most of 2016 begging him to be with him still freezing me out and I'm not really sure what caused that change? But anyway we've been talking pretty much every day and we saw each other for the first time in over a year a few weeks ago and it was great, solid fun and not weird at all, but it did remind me of the chemistry we have as people which is pretty rare seeing as we're both not great with people.
He's been talking about how he's excited for his future sex life and asking me for advice on how to pick up girls and I didn't feel jealous, I've casually dated other people in the past year, but after seeing him he went out of the country for a month and doesn't have wifi so we can't talk and ughughugh. My head just keeps visualizing him fucking all these random girls and I'm really not digging it, not to mention I miss talking to him which is a weird feeling considering over the last year I forgot what that felt like since I just assumed he was gone forever.
Realistically I know he's probably not fucking his way through European countries considering he's socially awkward, with his family, and might be a hot 10 to me but my friends rate him at about a 6-7 with his dorky, tall, bony, pale with acne self, but it's still popping into my head and it's driving me crazy. The thought of him with someone else makes me want to gouge my eyes out, which is pretty fucking stupid considering I was fine with giving him girl advice before I saw him, have openly flirted with and gone on a few dates with other people and still am, and the reason we broke up was because our relationship wasn't happy in the end so I've filled in the blanks and assumed that means he didn't love me and probably never did, so here I am, making an ass out of myself again and having feelings stirred up for someone who has 0 for me. I've been drowning my sorrows in lolcow, digiorno and tinder. Good times.

I'm at my wit's end and I swear if I don't vent right now I'll fucking lose it.
Last night bf tells me he wants to go to this LARP festival today when we both share a day off. I think these events are interesting, but I don't have anything nice to wear. And because of depression/apathy over the past year I've gained a shitton of weight and don't fit into any passable clothes I could've worn. Bf bought me this potato sack LARP dress the first time we met, but I refused saying in addition to looking like an obeast nun, the dress had sleeves made with unbreathable fabric and I was not walking around a southern, treeless field in all black like that all day. He was pushy but no. Just no. NOOOO.
He doesn't understand the deep humiliation and guilt I feel. I literally don't want to be out in public aside from work because I feel AND look fat. I'm starting to avoid people if I can. And if I have to be outside without makeup, my hair looking like shit, and my fat clothes it feels like a death sentence.
He's all like "don't worry i love u" which is so fucked because he's implying that his love should be good enough to trump whatever the fuck I think about myself. And as long as I have his approval, shit's good.
Well, it's not. And it really offended me. It feels like something he says just to get me to shut up about my problems because he doesn't like handling my frustrations and sadness.
Anyway, we're discussing this clothes issue at 2am, and then he tells me in addition he wants to attend their shitty tailgate brunch and it starts at 8am meaning I'd at least have to be up at 6am to get ready and make the drive there. Lolno, it's my "Sunday" and I want to sleep in. I work second shift too so I rarely ever get up before 10am.
>fall asleep around 4am
>bf gets the message and doesn't wake me until 9am
The decision is I just drop him off. No time for makeup–threw my hair in a ponytail, and put on my fat clothes thinking all I had to do was drive and not interact with anyone.
But before we left, I wanted to stop at our apartment's office to get the Overtone hair dye I've been waiting on for days (y'know, since I'm doing the favor of driving him). Tracking says it was delivered yesterday at 11:35am. Bf checked our mailbox last night and it wasn't there, meaning it was in office.
I like getting bf to do it because the staff is very incompetent in keeping packages and we have to be extremely firm in staying while making them go back again to check. I can't deal with their shit and usually after they tell me 'no' the first time I give up.
They often claim they "don't have packages" even when they do and they're just extremely unorganized or too lazy to look thoroughly. There's a black lady in particular who is extra worse and incompetent than the others–makes the most absurd excuses to wipe the office of the responsibility.
So I pull up to the office about ready to tell bf to go inside but then I see the hours sign.
On Saturdays they open at 10.
Sundays at 12.
I thought today was Sunday because it is my "Sunday" so I start flipping the fuck out because I thought they were closed, but they actually weren't.
So not only would I have to deal with the incompetent staff later, I'd have to risk having an awkward interaction with them as I contest the location of my package.
Bf doesn't say ANYTHING and just lets me carry on the belief that today is Sunday.
Just so he could get out of it.
~20 minutes into the drive I realize it's not Sunday. I ask him why he didn't say anything, "oh i thought the same." Motherfucker, bullshit.
On top of that my bf sucks at giving directions (he doesn't drive so he doesn't understand what I need from him), paired with the anxiety of other dumb morning commuters on the road…it just makes for a very flustered and agitated drive. He screws up at least once, because he never bothers to google the destination to make sure he knows the way first.
Finally I made it and go to turn into the park for the festival before realizing I see police lights on and a bridge. A one-way bridge. Meaning I'd have to go into the event while I look like shit!
I start literally whimpering about how I'm going to get out and my bf was an asshole to me about the anxiety attack.
"U COULDA WENT WITH ME U KNO"
Like how fucking insensitive is that? He seriously believes I hate fun.
Lol.
it's like, yeah bf, I totally want to do not fun things and isolate myself in the apartment because I'm a healthy person right now with no image problems. Yeah okay! I even told him "Don't you realize the terrible image problems I've been having? You yourself think I'm fat."
No response, as usual.
So he leaves and I have to interact with staff to get the police to block traffic on the other side of the bridge so I could leave.
On my way back (30 minutes) I was crying the entire way because of what my bf said. Knowing that normal people are out enjoying the day and having fun.
While I'm a pasty fat vampire who is miserable and angry.
At that point I figure I may as well go to the office to try to retrieve the package so I can make myself happy and occupied with fixing my hair.
Wouldn't you know? The incompetent black bitch is in there, meaning I ain't getting my shit today.
>"Hi, here to get a package for 2619."
>"OH YUH UH UH, U-ASAY 2519?
>"…2619."
>"HO UHMM OKAY DEN"
>so she hobbles to the back office where they toss the packages
>looks for two minutes
>"UH DERE NUTTIN HER"
>"The tracking says delivered yesterday at 11:35am."
>"OH DEYUH JUST SAYS DAT. DEYUH SAY DAT DEN DEYUH DONT ACTUALLY DELIVEER IT."
>"So…you're saying the scanners and post workers are liars?"
>"UAHSEE DE NUMBERING HERAH? WE KEEP DEM IN DA ORDER N I DUN SEE YAWS."
>even though whenever we find the packages they're never in the correct numbered spot
>"SO SOWWEH"
>"I bet you are."
I gave her the worst death glare and left. I just wanted that stupid hair dye.
So now I have to go back later.
Texted bf to tell him stupid black bitch has my package in limbo but he hasn't responded.
Probably ignoring me.
I fucking can't take it.

I did it before, and I know I can, but it just took me so long to lose the weight before and it feels so overwhelming knowing I have to start all over.
Not really sure what I want to do about exercise yet. As I've mentioned, the thought of being in public horrifies me and I live in a really popular place. One of the reasons I lost weight well before was that I lived across from my college's track so I would jog late at night and be noticed by no one.
I wish I knew what dance routine Pixy did. I need help coming up with some kind of cardio routine that can be done in an extremely small apartment space. Like no bigger than 6 ft by 6 ft.

aside from that, i keep binge eating to cope with depression & stress, which is also really fucking me up. i'm leaving to go do an internship abroad this summer and i'm fucking terrified. i'm such a goddamn awkward sperg, even if i do speak the language. i was doing such a good job at losing the weight earlier in the semester, but now i can't do anything but sleep, eat, and play video games. i hate leaving my dorm because i hate being seen by other people. and i'm not even a hamplanet, i could lose the weight in a few months, i just keep self-sabotaging. i'm going to try to lose the weight when i go abroad. i'm terrified of buying things at stores & eating in unfamiliar environments, so i'm hoping that the stress & starvation will help me get back on track, maybe. idk.

>>188692Good work anon! I'm sure you'll get to your goal.
As for cardio to do you could try the blogilates ones, they are pretty intense and some of them barely need any space (i do them in a very small room).
Also, for a long time i did TheFitnessMarshall dance routine (+ blogilates) and i lost a shitton of weight. They are dance videos to popular songs (raging from simple to more "intense") and they are done on the go and normally you don't need a lot of space (you can adjust it i.e. walking in place instead of walking forward or whatever). They are also incredibly fun and quite beginner friendly.
>>188688Sorry about your mom, it really sucks when they are like that. But thank you, it does mean a lot!
>>188698>i keep binge eating to cope with depression & stress, which is also really fucking me up.>now i can't do anything but sleep, eat, and play video games. fuck, anon are you me because same here. I was in a such a great weight and exercising regularly and the last few months i gained like 5 kg because i am eating my feelings away, too depressed to exercise and drown my thoughs with vidya and netflix and shit to make them background noise instead of dealing with them. I feel you.
It's really shitty being brought up by people who think they are doing the best for you when in reality they are slowly fucking you over for their own calmness of mind.
I really hope you achieve what you want and i'm sure you'll do fine in your internship. The fact that you even took the step to improve yourself is an amazing thing, so keep it up because you are doing great!

I feel like I quit my longest friendship I had with somebody. I met my former friend when I was 16 (will be 25 in a few months), we finished school together and still had contact when moved to different places. We experienced a lot of cool stuff together BUT there has been always one thing that bothered the hell out of me and which got worse the older we got. She made it sometimes suuuper difficult to stay regular in touch, I don't have to talk to people 24/7 but I felt like was always the one who tried to bring us closer again, not only to find a way to phone but also to meet.
Sometimes we managed to see us each other but sometimes I planned something and she canceled shortly before it. At some point I though "well, when she wants to talk, then she will contact me". She did call me or texted me but it was always after a long while and those "omg I'm so sorry I forgot about you, I'm so busy" and so on.
Anyways, to celebrate our long friendship, I planned a trip a trip to Berlin to see one of my fave bands. She has been always down to see concerts with me and we had our first travel together to Berlin, so this was perfect to us. And followed shortly after that, I asked her to see another concert with me. She agreed with both of it and bought the tickets, got us a nice place to stay and also ordered the plane tickets. I paid for everything and she told me she will give me the money when we meet. I'm fine with it when I know that I get my money.
BUT one day before our trip to Berlin she messaged me that she is sick and she couldn't go to Berlin. We talked a few days earlier and she already mentioned feeling sick but ok enough to go. But she canceled, only a few hours before everything should start. I was like "???? why now and not earlier??" Luckily I got another friend to come with me, but I had to find a new way to get us to Berlin, which costed me a lot more money than I planned. I went to Berlin with the other friend, everything was nice. Back home I remembered her about the upcoming concert, she said she would go even thought she still felt sick.
So at the day of the second concert I got another message of her that she couldn't go because she was still sick. And I thought honestly, why THE HELL was she canceling again and why isn't she just honest to tell me that she couldn't do any of those things. I don't mind of people being sick, it happens, but you know those kind of things so much earlier and everything costed me so much more than I planned (about 500 euro lmao). her last email was about how sorry she was and that she will DEF go to the next concert with me for sore :)))!!1 Idk, even thought I didn't got my money back at this point, I didn't felt like answering her because I was just too - disappointed that she cancels so many times and that it was always haha next time!
It's been almost 5 months since her e-mail and I don't see myself contacting her again because I realized that I don't feel like talking to her again.
it's been just all those small things that bothered me and make just fuck off with the last two events. Fuck that.
Also, she didn't paid me anything even thought she said she would for the canceled stuff. I gave her my bank account contacts but she never transferred anything to me.

When I was about 13-14 years old I used to watch the most fucked up films. I was an emo edge lord but they just fascinated me. If the film was banned in a country I would have found it and watched it just to see how fucked up it was.
Gladly i'm past that now, I'm 20 now and these films are starting to haunt me. About 95% of them I only watched once since it was just out of curiosity but images of these films keep coming to mind and fucking with me.
I've never been okay with rape but I could watch it if it was in a film (Knowing it was all fake etc). These days if a film even hints at it, it makes me so uncomfortable I have to turn it off. I have no idea why i'm so sensitive to this stuff now, nothing bad happened to me to make me feel so bad about stuff like murder, rape, gore.
I just wish I never put hours in watching and finding those kind of films to watch, i didn't think it would but it took 6 years for them to start effecting me.
No. 188715
>>188714Out of curiosity, which films did you watch?
Since I was little I've had this thing where I just /had/ to research any disturbing film or whatever to find out what made it so abhorrent. I never watched them myself because I've never been into watching horror movies and shit but just reading about the plot and the scenes fascinated me. Hearing how you ended up makes me grateful I never had the guts nor the will/desire to watch any of them.
Have you tried talking about the content with someone you know/trust? If you're traumatized by them now, it would probably be best if you could put your thoughts into words and share the burden with someone so you won't have to be alone about it anymore.

>>188715It's been so long i don't remember them all by name. The "classic" one is "A Serbian Film", it's all levels of fucked. I don't really want to explain it since i know if i went into detail i run the risk of being banned.
Another is "The Last House on the Left", I used to love "I spit on your grave" due to the woman getting her own back but i can never get through the first part of the film anymore. Also "VHS" it's a good film but something about it bugs me these days.
There's one that is on the tip of my tongue that is the one that is messing with me the most, if it's any help is has a very graphic rape scene in a red corridor (only thing i visually remember, sorry)
I can talk to my bf about it but i'm not sure if he'll get why it's messing with me now of all time, i mean i don't even get why. It might be my heightened anxiety lately. It's not like i have a fear of these things happening to me or anything, it's so strange it took about 6 years to bug me.

sigh…
My ex has been harassing me for months. We had a long LDR and he's been threatening me since last year, but it's gotten worse in the last couple months. Since he lives in another country he can't really do anything to me and he's broke as fuck so he can't really travel here to break my neck as he wishes he could. He's threatened me and my friends, said he'd post nudes everywhere, called me the most horrible things; I've blocked him and I'm not on social media, but he keeps creating fake profiles and emails to reach me. The saddest part is that I never cheated on him or treated him badly on purpose. Meanwhile he cheated on me several times, got a bad STD from one of his one night stands and even brought a woman to live with him during our relationship. So yeah.
I think he's lost it as he has said insane things, probably just to have a reason to offend and hurt me, such as "you were the baby my mom was supposed to have but it died!!!1 why didnt you want to be my sibling, why did you leave me there to suffer1!!?"
I wonder when this nightmare will end. I've always been depressed but suicidal thoughts have really worsened lately. The thought that maybe "my" nudes are out there scare me a lot (I say "my" because he doesn't have any nude pictures of me with my face in them IIRC, but he could simply edit one).
I contacted his country's police but they can't do much unless MY local police does, and local police won't because I live in hell where no one cares about internet crimes unless you're famous or rich.
I want to die.
If anyone has ever gone through something similar, and survived, please let me know. I may really kill myself because of this and I know I don't deserve this.

Like another anon said, ASF is just a load of attempted shock value of no real substance and no thought put into it beyond that. It got the recognition that the edgelord intended though, so I guess he'd be satisfied. Genuinely feel bad for Serbian people because of it though. Unflattering title to say the least.

I'm really not into my hobbies (anime, tv shows and reading manga and some novels) now as much as I used to. The thing is, I don't know if it's temporary because I don't have a lot of free time and I'm kind of depressed and if I'll go back to reading manga and watching anime like I used to until I started college or if it's just that I became really picky. I'm really into video games and the fact that I have more money now than I used to makes me buy more and more video games (mostly on the 3DS). Now my video game backlog is pretty long.
So long story short, I'm kind of poor and want to save money. I'm not sure if I should try to sell all the stuff I'm not into anymore or not. For example, last time I did it it was because of an emergency and I kind of regret selling my volumes of Gintama even though I watched the anime and it was a bit redundant, I don't want to regret selling my stuff again. But I really feel guilty about my stupid purchasing habits though, and maybe getting rid of a good part of my collection will help me stop buying more and more useless books and DVD sets. I'm really hesitating.

I think I have a huge crush on this one guy but I don’t know if I actually like him, or if I’m just weirdly attached to him because I have depression and he talks to me and makes me happy.

>>188807Jojo is one of the big "new" thing in France because I think almost all the volumes are translated now (there were problems with the publication iirc but that's too long to explain). Now they're publishing Jojolion in France so it's pretty easy to find the series, it's basically everywhere. I feel like since I already read the scans and most of the volumes with an official translation and I watched the anime except the last episodes of Stardust Crusaders and DIU, I don't really need to keep the books anyway.
>>188809I love FMA too, it'll always have a special place in my heart because I followed the series while it was still on going, as stupid as it sounds. But I used to reread the books so much I don't really feel like reading them again, so I don't see the point of keeping them. I'm really hesitating a lot more for FMA tbh.

I kind of want to get rid of them because some are worth a lot of money and I'd like to go minimal, but at the same time I had always dreamed of being one of those nerds with a room filled with billy shelfs of manga.

Also maybe try to lose weight instead of whining about how fat you are. It's your own fault you got fat after all.

>>188452Keep in mind that a lot of people who claim suicidality frequently aren't really suicidal, it's just kind of a shitty thing some people do when they're upset sometimes.
If they're clearly struggling massively day to day then it's different obviously, and I'd get it, but all the people I've known who've constantly relied on friends to stop them from doing shit aren't really that bad off, just a bit over dramatic.
Don't know your situation, but there's a good chance that if you stop that, they'll just go lean on someone else, not off themselves.
It would be pretty unlikely that all of your friends are seriously suicidal and barely holding on unless you literally live in a psych ward or something, as far as I see it at least.

But it was a foolish suggestion because as I said: it had sleeves, wasn't breathable, and was black. I wasn't wearing it out in a treeless field in direct sun for hours.
Fyi–bf stayed for two and a half hours and then asked for me to come get him because it was so hot outside he got sick.
He got a bad burn too.
So no, I wasn't wrong to scoff at that.
>you wanted to sleep inYou think it's reasonable to ask someone at 2am to take you someplace at 6am? 4 hours of sleep is "sleeping in"? I still got up early to take him.

You got offended because he said he loved you for fucks sake.
He wanted to have a fun day out, and you turned it into a stupid drama for no fucking reason at all, then apparently got shitty at him for not buying into the drama.
Unless there's a hell of a lot more to this that you're not mentioning, it really sounds like you're in the wrong here, and based on the way you seem to incapable of even comprehending that someone might think you were in the wrong, I'd say that's an even safer assumption.

You can't seem to understand that when someone talks about their insecurities it's not always a solution for the listener to say "what you're feeling doesn't matter because I feel good about you." That doesn't help, it's whimsy, and it would make any person roll an eye.

He's not your fucking therapist, and it seems pretty obvious this isn't the first time you've gone off about feeling fat.
There's really nothing he could have done there except reassure you that he loves you, you just made up a whole bunch of shit about what he really meant by that and got upset about it.
>He got what he wanted lady (robot..?)Haha, are you serious? Two people have said you sounded annoying, and you couldn't believe that either actually meant it and then decided to accuse me of being a robot.
You're ridiculous.
>It's only "dramatic" to you because I ranted here without a filter. So, there wasn't any drama?

>>188932Dunno.
I've been spiraling since friday. I actually had to go home mid course because I was feeling like I was about to cry. It was like I wasn't understanding anything.
The only other girl of the class was back after being absent for several courses and I think she was understanding it better than me.
She's in her early twenties, already have a bachelor and is way pretty than me. I know people like her better than me. I even like her better than me, she's really nice. And I guess she's more accepted, being pretty and all, in a male dominated course/field. Even the teacher is clearly favouring her.
Meanwhile, I feel really inadequate. I've been really working on my social skill to try and shit chat, be nice and helpful and stuff but, well, now this thing feels like the proof that people can see through the fact that I'm a miserable ugly shut-in inside in my late twenties.

>>188934>you claimed that wasn't why you didn't go, because the dress was black and not breathableHuh? That's the reason why I didn't wear that dress thing, on top of it being a horrible fit and ugly.
Not the reason why I didn't go into the event.
The reason why I didn't go is because I had no alternatives I could wear (cause fat), and I've already addressed how I plan to fix it.
So don't get it confused. I already admit my insecurities are on me but it's frustrating when someone you care about does little things to stress you out and then dismisses your fees with blanket statements.
>four different mentions of you being insecureDidn't realize we get a set amount, like pretty princess points? Lmao.
>you only said you woke up at 9amBecause that's also when I was out the door.
I got 5 hours of sleep anon. I didn't sleep in.
>and instead tried to comfort you and tell you he loved youI don't find it 'comforting' to pour my heart out when I'm immensely stressed only for someone to give me a one-liner before they scurry off to their fun. It felt dismissive. In fact anon, you saying that only highlights how fucking weird that is to leave someone in that state to go have funsies.
I guess we're apples to oranges on that one anon, but I expect my partner to step up a bit more than that sometimes. Words can be cheap, and that's what that was. Cheap.
He could've stayed with me a little bit.
He could've encouraged me to make changes.
Don't act like the only thing SOs say to each other is "ily."
I wouldn't leave my bf alone like that…

Not only are you at fault for letting your insecurities control you that massively (though admittedly that's not an easy thing to fix), but you're at fault for taking that shit out on others and acting like he's a dick for it.
It's pretty clear you guys weren't having a calm conversation in which you expressed your insecurities to him by the way.
>Can you stop now?Yeah, there's clearly no point talking to you, you're just going to go "nuh uh I did nothing wrong and nothing happened anyway".

The only way your argument works is based on you assuming I'm some melodramatic queen bee constantly hollering in my bf's ear.
You're wrong.

How is it, in your mind that going "Hmm, this candidate seems to agree with my views on immigrants and integrating into culture, so I think I'll just completely change those and play the victim here instead" follows any logical path to you?
Their parents are not in the same group as illegal immigrants, and from their previous views, would not have approved of illegal immigrants.

You could say that it was about illegal Mexican American immigrants but I would go back to what I said in an earlier post, they are judged by the worst members of their group. And even if it was JUST about illegal immigrants we must remember that Mexicans are associated with illegal immigration the same way South Asian and MENA people are associated with terrorism.

Bf and me both work late nights. That's the reason we were both up at 2am discussing stuff, it's like coming home after work.

That's how unreasonable you sound right now.

This is your speculation.
You have zero proof.
I told you no but for some reason you insist yes, that's not my problem. I'm annoyed at you because you're making shit up and baiting an argument. But maybe that's your goal, you seem to like arguing.
>I really doubt you'd get that upset over such inconsequential shit as this is and be a perfectly calm well adjusted person the rest of the timeIt wasn't "inconsequential" shit to me at the time, that's the point. My emotions were raw and I was feeling very upset, there's nothing wrong with how I felt and I didn't hurt anyone.
>now you're just flat out lying about what happenedWhat the fuck? No I'm not.
You're trying to spin this narrative and I'm not sure what fiction is in your head at this point. Yes, I was upset but I wasn't bawling my eyes out in front of bf and urging my bf not to go. I wasn't preventing him from going or trying to make him feel bad for wanting to go. I told him to have fun and don't worry about me. I had a stressed-out morning and wasn't happy like other sleep-deprived adults.
You seem to think nobody can have inner monologues or thoughts without spilling their guts to the other person, which are what I wrote in my post. Literally nothing happened and things are back to normal.

I don't think you can go "Well, no-one's actually talking about them, but there's a portion of their race that's doing illegal shit that people see as an issue, so it's kind of like talking about them".
I've not seen anyone outside a few edgy forums legitimately claim that mexicans in general are bad people or that there's any issue with people who legally immigrate and don't cause issues once they're here.
Her parents need to stop buying into this victim complex they've got going on is really all there is to it.

>I don't think you can go "Well, no-one's actually talking about them, but there's a portion of their race that's doing illegal shit that people see as an issue, so it's kind of like talking about them".I'm not. What I'm saying in response to 'but they're talking about illegal immigrants, not mexicans' is that Mexicans are associated with illegal immigration, when an American pictures an illegal immigrant they picture a Mexican(usually lazy and on welfare while also stealing all the jobs from good old fashioned blue blooded Americans), not a silhouette with 'illegal immigrant' stamped on it's head, in America illegal immigrant and Mexican are almost synonymous.

You've taken that entire quote out of context and tried to use it to act like Trump hates Mexicans.
Give this a read if you're interested
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoting_out_of_context
>And where do people get the idea that Trump hates MexicansFrom quotes taken out of context? The Clinton campaign (and wider media, it happened in my country too) was pretty liberal (no pun intended) with how they used his quotes.
>Why? I'm giving examples of things they may not agree on?Because we have no idea, and it's just speculation.
>Where? In America? Unlikely because if you ask your average american who Anders Breiviks is they would scratch their head and say whoFair enough, lets focus on socialism then. Most people believe that scandinavian countries are more socialist than the US, right? Do you think that means I'm associated with socialism purely for being scandinavian?
You're not talking about whether or not I'm associated with it, you're talking about whether or not people may think I am, which are two completely different things, and I really don't believe that people automatically associate a Mexican person with illegal immigration.
>What I'm saying in response to 'but they're talking about illegal immigrants, not mexicans' is that Mexicans are associated with illegal immigration, when an American pictures an illegal immigrant they picture a MexicanI can agree there, sure, there's a big issue with illegal immigrants from Mexico in the US, so there's a reason for illegal immigrants being most likely to be thought of as Mexican.
I don't think this is proof that people automatically assume that Mexicans must be illegal immigrants, do you?
And your last point is relying on quoting yourself again, both of which posts ignore that Trump was never talking about Mexicans as a whole, and lumping yourself in with illegal immigrants when you are not one is very clearly an attempt to create a victim role for yourself.
Their formative years left them against people who didn't try to integrate and do things in an American way, so your argument about how it's hard to change because of it being formed in childhood doesn't really hold up.
That attitude developed in adulthood, as a result of misinformation at best (which is demonstrative of how trying to convince people they're the victims of something is directly harmful in my opinion, as if that propaganda didn't exist, there wouldn't be this issue), or a willing ability to ignore the reality and just make yourself into a victim for whatever reason.

the quote "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people" is pretty bad because it's wrong, but it's a pretty open interpretation to read it as him saying "[THE MEXICAN PEOPLE] are rapists". it could even be read as "they're bringing drugs, crime, […] and their rapists". but either way, he's saying mexican has a lot of illegal immigrants (true) and that they're rapists (not true).
the taco bowl thing is really ignorant but keep in mind the guy's a pandering moron who acts this way about everything in his life. if he wants to appeal to a person or group he'll say they're the best or naively mimic them to show appreciation. see: mining hats, getting into trucks, saying "[X] people are good friends of mine". this is the guy who regularly says shit like
https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/842409899359375361.
in that context, is him tweeting a taco bowl mocking mexicans, or is it a socially unaware perpetually-sycophantic 70 year old trying to appeal to a voting bloc?
the media exaggeration of trump's supposed racism has really muddied the water, because it prevents people on both sides from focusing on the actual reality of him being a narcissistic dimwit reality tv host who has no clue what he's doing and can't tell the truth, admit to anything, or stay consistent with a position or statement.
(that said, he has sometimes said some pretty offensive stuff about muslims above and beyond merely calling terrorists radically islamic)

So sick of commitment-phobic men. I'm in my early twenties and the thought of the "hoe phase" has never brushed me in the slightest, not yet at least. I've always wondered how do you see someone, get along with them, kiss them etc. and don't develop any sort of affection at all. Many guys do that all the time, but I feel it's just not in my character. Feels so cold, almost robotic.

Once I took a convention hallway shot of a friend's costume. I corrected the lighting, color, removed blemishes/lines, got rid of her double chin, and pushed in her waist and swollen legs ever so slightly to give her a bit more shape. She LOVED that picture, she even shared it on her own fb wall. A shitty hallway shot; yet it meant the world because she looked flattering.

I just wanted to gripe about "my friend" one last time…
We hung out almost every day and there was never any indication she felt the way she did (maybe I'm just stupid or something?).
Even the day before she texted me to never speak to her again, we were hanging out. I introduced her to a new band that she started gushing over. We laughed about a 2-year-old inside joke. We reminisced about a hilariously shitty movie we watched.
She didn't have the guts to tell me to my face, or, at the very least, the slightest bit of consideration to wait until the weekend to break the news to me. She blocked my number and blocked me on all social media and keeps making vague posts about me (I'm blocked from commenting but not from viewing):
>if there's someone i don't want to be around should i tell them or just ignore them as much as possible?? >i don't like their company and it's hard for me to decide what to do and i'm desperate at this point!!>don't talk to me anymore. i want you gone. get away from me.In her text, she told me she's felt like this for years.

I really wish I had my own online circle of friends, especially girl friends. I haven't had any real female friends since high school and it really eats away at me. Whenever I see people on social media talking about their group discord chats I am really resentful and jealous. The problem is I never go out of my way to try to befriend others because I feel like a piece of shit who isn't good enough to have a nice circle of pals. I tried getting into the lolcow discord but couldn't get into the farmer only chat because admin never responded to my messages and the friend finder thread didn't yeild anything either. I don't know anymore. I know I have to get out of my scared little bubble but I am terrified of rejection. I want to have close friendships but I feel like I won't belong anywhere.

Pretty sure I'm about to get my third warning in a 30 day period of time from my job.
First one was because I didn't count all of the products when I got done cleaning them before I went to the next step for a validation and accidentally left one behind (it was the end of the day and it blended in with the tub I was cleaning them in… I also didn't know at the time how many there were to begin so I just went on with whatever). That was a verbal warning. Not major, but required. My error was caught by someone else and we could fix the problem in the same day.
Second was an actual written warning that involved a correctional action plan and that was because I didn't have time to pH test a batch of media before we sent it to a customer to do an internal investigation with. Spoilers, it turned out it was in the correct range, but if it wasn't they probably would've dropped us as a customer and I more than likely would have been fired… but this situation only came about because I am overworked and there's probably sexism going on in the work place (the only male lab employee doesn't have to clean shit while the actual supervisor, who is female, does? bullshit. He also apparently isn't allowed to do any trivial shit I do either, despite having the same level of education AND the manager thinking he isn't far enough along with his understanding of things despite how long he's worked here. It's utter bullshit. I'm fairly certain I'm smarter than him because in lab meetings I at least speak up and throw suggestions out there for shit we should try when he just stays quiet.)
and now, the third one that will more than likely happen, is that I didn't remind the manager to call the water system people about a bi-annual maintenance thing that literally no one else in the lab can do aside from them. Surely that should be their responsibility, right? They're the only one who can call the company that services the system and the only one who can schedule an appointment. Why do I need to tell them every other day to do it? (which I have before on a quarterly thing and they literally did not get it done until the last week of the month). That shouldn't be my job. That takes unnecessary time out of both of our days for me to constantly remind them of something /they should already fucking be doing/.
Jeeze.
Like, thank fuck we finally pulled someone else from another department to help me I cannot handle everything I am supposed to do on my own, and it shows on these fucking timesheet we have to keep when I'm completing over 45 lines of shit and the guy I complained about above MAYBE does 10. He's in charge of different shit, but he has barely completed any of it in the past 5 months and the vice-president of the company has noticed this.
You know?
Maybe he isn't in the person for the job.
Maybe I'm just salty because the other guy is paid more and basically does jack shit.
who knows.

I've been moved from a depression diagnosis, to GAD, to 'a lot of suffering'(whatever that meant) to 'yeah, we actually don't know, we're just going to try whatever and hope it works' over the years.
Don't focuse too hard on the diagnosis, what is important is the med they are putting you on and the general treatment offered. A diagnosis of schizophrenia is not a new identity you have to endorse for life, it may be the way to find better treatment if it's actually the issue.

I work for an airline and you'd be amazed at how many helicopter parents I have to deal with talking about their ADULT children like they're helpless children. I'm talking 20+ year old adults.
Last night this mama bear became outraged at me because I was "talking too calmly" and not mirroring her screaming and being upset because her 21 year old's flight was canceled. She had a wedding to be at today, as a guest. Even though it's completely on them for booking the evening departures the day before little precious had to be at the event. Mama bear was demanding I pull a plane out my ass because little precious was going to likely have to overnight at a hotel (that we would pay for) and maybe catch a flight tomorrow.
Ironically, little precious would have made a connecting flight out had she womaned up and spoke to me directly instead of three-waying me between mama and papa bear for 20 minutes before giving me the info I needed to help.
I'd say I have a higher amount of patience than the average person, but I really felt like telling this mom that I'm only about 4 years older than her daughter, and if she couldn't handle being stuck at an airport we offer a minor escort service starting at $150 so an "adult" staff member can hold her hand.

>>189410>>189417I really could have worded that part better but alcohol made me think you guys could read my mind lol. What I meant was, when we're looking for solutions to tests that have fucked up, I'm throwing out ways we can retest and figure out if we can get some sort of results that way or show where we went wrong. And some of them have actually worked out. He's not putting any suggestions out into the open. I'm at least trying to figure out why things went wrong instead of not saying anything. That's what gets me. It's not wahwah quiet people are dumb, it's an "I'm trying to fix shit that's not working" thing. I'm honestly sorry if it came off that way because I am typically quiet myself, but I need them to know I am trying to find ways to improve the way we do things so that I can move up or, at the very least, show that I can think of new ways to test items that fail.
>>189420We're the essentially the same ranking. We're both lab technicians. We both have secondary positions, as well. Because he's a "validation tech" (that has only fully completed one or two internal validations when apparently he's not really meeting the expectations the vice-president of the company had set for this position.) he's apparently exempt from cleaning, while someone who is ranked as a supervisor is responsible for cleaning doesn't seem right.
>>189422We've thrown another person in to aide with my position, and it has helped a lot. I'm frequently reminded that I'm essentially the backbone of the lab and that without me testing wouldn't get done… because I am responsible for making sure everything is made and prepared for others to test with, making sure all glassware and instruments are clean, making sure things are decontaminated so another department can ship the off, kill any of our testing that has positive growth in it, and making sure what rooms we are responsible to keep clean are clean… while also having to do testing and make sure any in-house daily maintenance/calibration is done. It's not easy to balance so when someone can throw five minutes to do something to help move things along is immensely helpful.
>>189429Basically, it goes Lab Manager>Supervisor>Technician. And Manager should be in charge of making the call to get our system checked, as I found out this morning. It has, apparently, never been the technician's responsibility in the past (we recently had a change in management so that screwed things up) so it shouldn't fall on my head, luckily.
I'm sorry if my original post really seemed like unclear self-pity ramblings. I was drunk and hormonal. I'm still mildly drunk and hormonal, but really have been doing my best at my job that I can. He actually did get a warning for not cleaning up after testing because it impeded the ability for someone else to test in a timely manner. He typically expects things to be cleaned up after him most of the time and that's what grinds my gears the most because it's typically in the way of me getting what I need to do done because I either have to take the time to clean it myself or wait for him to do it… in which me cleaning it up is the quickest option to do… but this time I chose not to do it because that isn't my responsibility to clean up after his testing.
I guess I should also note it's really hard to get fired here. Like, really hard. The only people who have ever been fired got fired for stealing from the workplace. I'm using it for experience for the most part, but clearly this might be moot territory since my reviews may or may not be good (judging my responses from you guys lol).
I recognize I messed up on the pH thing, honestly that wouldn't have happened if we didn't have to stay late one day and the manager made an off-hand comment about hoping the pH wasn't off and my honest ass saying I hadn't had time to test it (it was from the same batch).
It's a catch-22 most of the time because they don't want us to have overtime for internal things, but that's what I personally need to have overtime for–to do internal things.

I don't know where to post this but since I really need to vent, I guess it's here.
I've dated a guy for almost a year and even though I am 23, it was my second relationship. I met him while I was on student exchange and about 5 months into dating relationship became long distance.
Everything seemed great, common hobbies, similar sense of humor, lots of fun etc. He was cute and kind to me and I was really happy at first because finally everything seemed to be going well. I think I fell in love quite quickly.
But as time passed by, even though I would ask him about him, he didn't really show interest in anything about me or my life that wasn't somehow tied to him. When our relationship became LD, daily communication continued thorough messages. But, again, if I told him how's my day been - he would just reply with "ah" or "I see". Like I would tell him that I finally managed to find a job, he would say "that is great" but would never ask what kind of job and would just proceed to talk about another topic.
It really started to confuse me and when I would seek advice, people would usually assume he didn't want to communicate and wanted to move on. That is what I thought at first too, but he was very adamant about staying in relationship. He would talk to me on daily basis, initiating conversations, just never about our lives generally.
I started getting very anxious about the whole thing and whenever I tried to talk to him about this problem, he would freak out and make me seem like I am going crazy and making things up. I didn't come at him aggressively, I just wanted to talk. That would make me feel guilty and I would end up apologizing. It discouraged me to talk openly with him as there was always some lingering sense of guilt.
My life got harder which made me go in a bad mental state. First my grandfather who I was very close with was dying and later I found out my father cheated on my mother. I needed support but every time I tried talking to him about it, he would just reply with a cold "oh, that's bad." and would ignore me.
When I told him I feel awfully lonely, but he would just brush me off about how he has also been lonely at some points in his life but since he is a man, nobody supported him and I as a woman have it way more easier because…I'm a woman?
My idiotic self finally broke up with him, but he would still message me, sending me fucking internet memes, and since I was a wreck and feeling lonely, I would message him back and a part of my brain hoped that things would go back to normal and that he would somehow magically start caring.
One day, he suddenly tells me how he didn't get the job he wanted and worked hard for several months. I felt bad regardless everything that happened and tried empathizing with him but he just berated me instead. (Again, I have no idea why, I think he thinks everything in my life is peachy.)
I just went into some sort of panic attack and he blocked me because "he doesn't need this."
I don't know why I am so retarded and why I stuck so long. I feel worthless and stupid. And I still miss him, I don't even know why. Fuck me.

I don't get along very well with my parents for a lot of reasons, but I'm a total loser that still lives at home despite being 24. My mentally unstable ass can't hold down a job and the little money I do make from "side hustles" isn't enough to live off of (like $30-50 a month IF I'm lucky). I don't have friends or any other family to live with and sometimes it is just UNBEARABLE knowing I have to interact with them. But then I feel like a giant asshole because I should be grateful that I'm living in their house, that they're supporting me and I'm not homeless. I know I have a lot of blessings. But I just get so angry, and frustrated, and I want to be away from them because they make me feel angry and frustrated.
The worst is my father. He was abusive when I was younger, but he mellowed out a lot when I became a teen. I think a lot of it too was that I got old enough to fend for myself so not being as dependent on him = less asking him for things = less abuse. And now that I'm an adult he pretty much acts like none of it ever happened. We don't talk about it, and if it comes up he will actually completely deny it or accuse me of having faulty memories. So on the one hand I try to just act as if it never happened either. But then little things he does will remind me even though they aren't harmful now…like if he stomps around and slams a door, or shouts/uses a harsh tone, it's like my brain mentally reverts back to being a little kid and I feel helpless and scared all over again. And that makes me angry and scared so I withdraw, and he gets mad at me for "acting strange". Or sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by it I cry, and then he shouts at me for "having tantrums". He talks to me like a child, and treats me like a child (he assumes women are by default unintelligent, he treats my mother the same way) and that also doesn't help when my brain goes back into child-mode.
I'm just tired of thinking about my parents all the time. We live in the same house and see each other all day every day so I guess it makes sense but on the other hand jesus. I would kill for just one day where I don't think about them at all. I really, really try but for some reason it's hard.
If I would have known when I was younger that this is what my life would be like at my age I legit would have killed myself. I'm not suicidal, but just…damn. This sucks and feels like it's been this way forever and will never change. Weh weh weh.

>>189526sage for double posting but tbh have you ever been to a shelter? have you had to stay in one? they are not fun, it blows my mind how some people think they are a sanctuary and you can just up and leave and stay at a shelter.
first of all its very very hard to find ones with open beds. yes there's a handful of others who might be fleeing abuse or down on their luck but the vast majority (at least in my city) are there because of extreme untreated mental illness or addiction problems. it is NOT a safe environment. it's safer than being on the streets, or maybe living with someone threatening your life, but that's setting the bar low. its not like a dorm or a hostel or anything like that.
also, and I'm pretty sure this is true everywhere regardless of city, your shit will get stolen. absolutely. anything even slightly valuable will get taken, and even petty stuff like shampoos and toiletries get filched.
its fucked up but I completely understand if someone in an abusive relationship who is still at the point where they feel like they can "handle" the abuse (been there) would not exactly view a shelter as a viable option.

There are organisations other than shelters that can help, and the police are a thing that exist. Any family violence organisation is better than doing absolutely nothing. These organisations can help with financial assistance, getting you to a doctor, getting therapy, getting housed, getting employed etc.
Losing stuff sucks, but is better than violence, and lots of FV orgs will assist you in either getting your shit back or replacing it. Police can provide an escort to get your belongings.
If the safety of your family or self is in danger because he's threatening to do stupid shit, again, police are a thing. They can watch the family's home or the abusers and prevent further violence.
There is always an option to leave and acting like it's ever better to stay is bullshit.

>Thirdly, if you're overcoming issues with your ex (nobody owes anyone a relationship, period) you probably aren't ready for the serious kind of LDR that also involves kids, and so you should try to find someone nearby that won't be just adding to your pile of issues.I just want to clarify that my ex and i broke up over a year ago so the fact that he's still obsessed with me is none of my business – it's his business. It is just something that makes this already hard situation worse. I'm more than ready for a new relationship. Also, you're probably the greatest psych ever since from my post about two of my insecurities you gathered I don't love myself/have a pile of issues, kek.

ive been on new anti-psychotic meds for 2+ months now and they're amazing but making me super fat. partially they're making me hungry all the time so i just snack and eat bad foods which is my fault, but its also partially chemical and that freaks me out. in studies they legit alter your metabolism and heighten your cholesterol, and it seems like most people and even doctors just say its normal to gain weight and you just live with it…. im supposed to be getting regular bloodwork done to make sure i dont get diabetes which also scares me. i feel gross in all my clothes and i really hate that i have to tell myself every time i eat that i need to stop because i just don't get naturally full anymore. im always hungry or wanting a snack, but its just an illusion (sorry that sounds really anachan i mean more like these meds fuck with my appetite and its just stimulated all the time so there's no cues to stop between "feeling like i'm starving" and "so full my stomach hurts" I have to manually stop myself which is difficult if i'm not careful).
right now im just really happy to finally not feel crazy and sad all the time and pretty much no delusional thoughts at all, but this sucks. i know there are different meds and i could try but goddamn, these are the first ones that actually work for a long period of time and im so hesitant to let them go especially when so many things are looking up otherwise. but its hard to enjoy even small accomplishments feeling this gross about myself all the time.
im afraid of turning into charms lol pic related if you follow her thread you know what i mean.
No. 189693
>>189678Look at it this way anon, if you're less crazy now then you're in a way better position to properly manage your diet and exercise. At the very least you'll have to change your diet to include more filling foods (like proteins and fibre) just so that you don't have to be hungry all the time. I know antipsychotics are chemically pretty harsh so you may still end up a little chubbier than you were, but you definitely don't have to resign yourself to getting the beetus. A good diet is basically common sense, being reasonable and knowledgeable, and listening really hard to your body to see if you're craving things that you're lacking (like craving spinach when you're low in iron, or bananas for magnesium etc). keeping a food diary might help you feel more in control too.
and you can try lifting weights, my housemate got super fat on her antipsychotics but started lifting so that all that energy has a place to go, now she's ripped and happy.

I was near obesity when I decided to stop. Don't wait too much if your weight don't stabilize. Obesity come with its own set of issues and will tank your self-esteem if the benefits you're getting from the meds are not that good.

I just want someone to love me and treat me like the most important person in his life.
I'm sick of guys trying to use me for their sexual gratification, despite my depression.
I got abandoned by an extremely close friend with whom I had this weird relationship like we were almost a couple, even though we were not (he claimed that he was not in love with me, even though he expected me to act like his girlfriend without the privilege of actually being one, told me that he loved me and the like).
After I neglected several of friends in order to be with him when he was having a mental breakdown (he's chronically sick and his illness is stopping him from living his life), ignored my needs in order to be with him when he was suicidal… he has decided that my depression was too much of a burden to him and that I can come back after I fix myself.
I don't blame him, but he still left me all alone, knowing that I was relying on him emotionally and was on the brink of suicide for the last two months.
Yes, again, I know that it must have been exhausting for him.
I want to get better, but also meet someone who will love me for who I am (he was constantly reminding me that I'm not his type, not like the girls that he used to have crushes on etc., even though he knew that I was in love with him and it was tearing me apart and ripping my new-found self-esteem to shreds) and take care of me (to a healthy extend) and not abandon me when I get bad.
Where does one find a cute, emotionally available and mature guy who WON'T treat me like a fuckmeat under the guise of fwb/polyamory?
I always give my soul and body to the one I love and I can't imagine sharing them with anyone…. I just want to be loved like I love.
I'm so alone and I want to die ;')

It sounds stupid but for me it's whole milk. I gained a lot of weight in a short amount of time, similar to you, but it's because I was drinking my calories from milk. Which makes me SO furious because I was eating nothing during this period. Like going through a gallon every other day. Ridiculous.
So I just stopped buying it. If I want something exciting besides water I add some cut up fruit pieces. Eventually my craving went away.

But as someone who has about 5 years on you, please try to have some faith that while it can take some people a while, eventually things can work out where you are at least content with your existance. You are not worth any more or any less than anyone else. You staying alive should really only be so you can enjoy your own life. While it's hard, there are always changes you can make that will eventually get you closer to a life you will be ok with. Even if you have nothing and feel you amount to nothing, and if things seem like you have been alive for no reason, that doesn't mean you have to fall into making a choice. You can figure out a way to be an artist but also support yourself. You are no more or no less a waste of space than any other human being. I might be assuming you haven't, but try taking some more risks in getting yourself out there. You might find yourself more valued than you thought you would be. But ultimately, valuing yourself, even if you have a pointless existance, is the first step in being content with being alive.

It's gonna be incoherent, sorry about that. I'm tired of fandoms and people policing what others should like or dislike, and people complaining about fujoshis like one of them murdered their entire family. I wish there were communities where I could talk about my favorite video games, anime, pairings or anything like that without stupid straight white american girls in denial (the fakebois fujoshi who shit on straight and bi women, you know the ones) telling me that I'm the devil for wanting to read cute sappy fanfics about my favorite slash pairings. It was supposed to be a fun and relaxing hobby, wtf happened?

im a miserable failure and there really is no way forward. i just never get around to doing anything at all and nothing ever changes that, at least not for a long time. every time i think im about to get out i suddenly realise i've been accomplishing jack shit for all the time that i haven't been depressed, i've just been living in my head the whole time and placating my mind with stupid fantasies that will never happen. i've been talking to people on a chat website lately and i think it's made me feel even more lonely and worthless than usual. every time they ask me about my hobbies i feel like i have to lie because my only hobbies are browsing the internet and masturbating. i tell them i play guitar and drums as i know how to do both but i rarely actually sit down and play them. i also tell them that i lift weights because i started that i little while back but i've already started skipping sessions and i made no progress. talking with them just makes me realise how utterly worthless to another person i would be, there is literally nothing i could offer anyone and if i actually showed them who i really was they would be disgusted as opposed to just bored. i still fucking long for whatever any of that feels like though, even though it'd be such a bad idea. i think im mentally ill in ways i wouldnt even want to tell someone anonymous about, i saw a psychologist a while back as i almost killed myself last year but i didn't tell her shit, she eventually told me to stop going. not going to a psychologist actually helped me i think and i stopped fantasising about killing myself so much and my mood improved, but i was just as hopeless before, the only difference was that i didn't notice it as much. thats kinda how my life works, delude myself for a while then eventually realise im worthless and go back into depression only to come back out deluded and hopeful again. i tell myself i shouldn't lose hope or get into bad mindsets sometimes but thats fucking stupid because i dont do anything even when im feeling good, there is no fucking hope in the future at all except for me to become some worthless lonely middle aged person who drinks themself to death.

Since they would just kinda laugh it off as well, and it wasn't like we were actual friends so I never noticed if they slunk off on their own somewhere. I never realized how bad I made some people feel until I had a bout of self pity and posted on FB something like "I'm so sorry if I was ever mean to you ever" and got some genuine replies.
Idk what it's like for more serious cases of bullying, but it's likely that hypocritical bullies like you've described don't really realize the extent of their actions, esp if you never really confronted them and just kind of faded out of their lives. Not that that excuses them or anything, they probably legit just forgot they bullied you guys. OR they realized and "vowed" to "make things right" by doing this stuff but not having the balls to be straight with people.

Me and my boyfriend just fucked, and he is sleeping now.
First i was riding him and everything was fine, but them i asked him to do missionary. When i layed down, he looked to the ceiling vacantly before proceeding the shag.
Then, he was pretty quiet, no kissing, didn't seem to be enjoying it anymore.
I came, he said he did (i didn't see it so i am not sure if he truly did), went to the bathroom super quickly to clean himself afterwards. I followed him a bit later, kissed his back, he was reactionless, when he's usually very lovable.
He was super cool before he went to sleep, i asked him why he was acting weird and he just said (minutes after) that he was not mad at me.
Whatever it was, made me super sad ans removed all the joy of the sex section.

I tell her that shit isn't right because he has a girlfriend and she wouldn't like being cheated on, so they never go further.

I'm afraid I might fail university. I'm just finishing up my first year and my grades are mostly okay (I've only failed one assignment) but knowing how much effort and work I put in it's a miracle. Next year there will be higher expectations and I don't think I'll be able to make myself work more with my current mental state. If I keep going like this I won't make it. I'm telling myself I'll go see a doctor when I get home but fuck if I know where to actually go. I just want to stay in bed forever.
There's also a guy I'm interested in, (I think I wrote about that in a previous vent thread) we went out a couple of times but I haven't spoken to him in more than two weeks. I don't know what to do about him, he doesn't seem very interested in me; but I also know that he has to get to know more about me to develop an interest.

I feel so depressed. I've been off meds for a while and I did great for a few months, but uni is really stressing me out. I'm about to graduate but I have so much left to do and it feels like I'm running out of time. I also feel unhappy with my current situation with my control freak family and I wish I'd fix it, but it doesn't depend only on me. I would love to move somewhere else, maybe to another state so I could start over. I believe I'll be able to do that once I graduate but it will take, realistically speaking, 1-2 years. Minimum.
And my love life is pretty much dead. It's been dead for a long time now. I've met 2 new people online a couple months ago. It was very casual, while I was doing something slightly work related. I crushed on one of these guys first and then on the other. First guy and me started talking non stop, I thought we had lots in common and crushed on him very briefly until realizing we wouldn't work out. Then basically the same is/was happening to guy number 2, and this one seems kinda popular with the ladies and maybe he's a player who will only destroy my heart because that's his hobby and what he does during his free time.
But I guess I'm just lying to myself because I want to like someone, you know? Not that these two guys aren't great people in their own way because they seem like it, but I've been so sad and so lonely. And touch starved… I guess I just want to feel loved and give someone my love too :'( I feel like no one wants to be with me, as a friend or a significant other, because I am ugly, disgusting, shy and hurting inside, despite being a relatively good person who actually has good qualities.
I don't think I just need to go back to my meds: I need to heal from inside, and that seems impossible now because I have no willpower to TRY to get better. I really just want to die. I have no will to live. A few months ago I started dieting and I lose a nice amount of weight, but I seem suck at the same number now because I've been binge eating a lot to overcompensate for my feelings. I really wish I'd just drop dead. Even suicide seems too complicated at this point. I tried to kill myself several times when I was younger, but now I'm just waiting here for death instead of actively seeking it. Of course I'll die old as fuck feeling miserable and alone.
I have some other very specific problems, but those will do. I'm just tired of all of this and wish I'd die tomorrow.
I know this is very long, I apologize if anyone took time.

>>190380The thing about meds is that they sort out your chemistry and keep it functional while you do the therapy and healing. The meds are there to help the healing process because untreated depression eats away at your ability to do anything to help yourself.
You need the meds to heal if you're not getting better without them. Meds are what often make the therapy possible. It's not bad to use that, and people who claim that meds change you are fucking stupid. Yeah they change you, change you from a couch zombie who's too tired to kill themselves into a person who can function and live and feel again.

I broke up with my s/o of three years a few days ago. It got to the point that they were upset I had fallen asleep on them after a 12 hour shift at work and they berated me for it, saying I wasn't sacrificing enough for them when I had cut out my family and friends for her so we could spend as much time as possible together. I still love her but I hate how she never supported me and made me feel insignificant, but I am afraid she may be the only person who could genuinely love me.
I don't know what to do and I am afraid I will take her back and she will try and manage my life again.

Me and an ex-friend broke off our friendship sometime last year because of a stupid reason. I want to find and reconcile with her but it’s impossible because she was that kind of person that always deleted her social media accounts out of paranoia/anxiety.
I was able to find one account of hers but the only reason it’s still up is because she probably forgot the site exists. I remember her first name, birthday, and which state she lives in but not her last name, but I think I'd be able to recognize it if I saw it.

Was gonna post this in the career thread but its slowly dying and I do need to vent so I guess it fits here…
I really don't know what I'm doing with my life. I'm studying art and design (level 3) right now, my career plan was always going to college, then to uni to do an art foundation and then get a BA in cartooning, become a freelance illustrator/graphic novelist. I changed my mind about the BA earlier this year, the literally 3 uni's that do it here (UK) are shit, the good ones are overseas and I don't have the funds/mental state to deal with living so far from home. I did bank on getting in overseas at first but I had to suck it up and realize it's not got gonna happen. So then I figured I would do the foundation and specialize in illustration, then try and get hired by a company or do freelance work. Now the first year of my course is ending and I'm so behind, I hate this course and I feel so stuck, and I want to drop out desperately, but that could prove disastrous.
Everything about it is awful and coming in every day is excruciatingly draining. Its underfunded, none of the students actually care about art (They are all idiots who want to become architects bc they think its easy money and freaked out when they were told that it takes much more than just a level 3 course and retaking maths) and the ones that do just spend all their energy on their work and have no social lives because of it. The latter group dislikes me for reasons that are too long and pointless to go into, maybe another time kek. Our tutor just started this year alongside us so she doesn't really know the ins and outs of the course. Despite trying my best to interact with everyone, I've only made two friends, who are both leaving because they also hate their courses (One girl who is on fashion, wants to change to photography and one girl from my class who technically was kicked off the course but is still in the college) so when I go back (if I do choose to stay) I will be utterly alone, as opposed to right now where I am I alone in most classes but have a few classes with fashion girl, and can hang out with the other girl during breaks or after class. Me and her get on really well, and we spend loads of time together on our days off, but she's awful at making plans and responding to texts, so if we aren't together during the day when we see each other around the building, we will most likely fall out of contact which I literally die if that happened, she's all I have for a social life, it's pathetic. Most days I have to take breaks because I get panic attacks thinking about all of this, being alone, having no life out of college, etc. It really does all go back to my fear of dying alone which will likely happen, but I'll get to that later. Everyone in class is civil but we pretty much all just come in for class and then leave. It doesn't feel like a real group because there's no structure. If I left I wouldn't have anyone to miss, apart from the two who are leaving anyway. So Im pretty adamant on leaving, Im going to weigh out my options, they are all things part of me wants to do, but my mind is always changing and time is running out
Stay on course;
Pros
>Get qualification that lets me move onto pretty much whatever next educational step I want
>Can reach original career plan of foundation illustration
>Will take me to uni where I can meet like-minded peers
Cons
>Its depressing as shit
>Spend all my time alone, stuck with the same group of peers who dislike me
>If I want to change my mind, it's too late to take up another course as I'll be 19+
>If I do end up becoming an illustrator (the path I will go down in this course) I will aim for a UAL campus, and I will end up having pay for it as foundations are only free for 18 and under
>The course is made for people who want to go onto higher education, so its focused on getting a qualification rather then learning skills, I feel like my year has been wasted
>I will get pushed into going to uni, possibly wasting more time and money
Leave course;
Pros
>Be out of an environment that depresses me
>Still get smaller qualification for the first year
>Can re-join course later to finish the second year if things don't work out
>Can basically do whatever I want (course wise) as I long as I apply now
>Can do second year at an another college, meeting new people and tutors
Cons
>Need to find something and apply ASAP if I want to switch careers
>Harder to get into UAL uni if I want to do that
Now for the other career paths I'm looking at if I leave
Tattoo apprenticeship;
Pros
>Love tattoos
>Get to work in a stimulating environment
>Will work with like-minded peers and clients
>Dont mind being shop bitch for a year or so, seems like it could interesting
>My style of illustration can translate to tattoos well
>Overall seems like a fun career
Cons
>Appretiships are extremely difficult to find, and you have to work your way up to them and build a portfolio so that's 6 months-1 year gone already
>Will spend 1-3 years without being actually taught how to tattoo
>I don't think it's something I could do forever, perhaps 5 years max before I start to get bored of it
>Its a very serious career that is easy to get stuck in, as it requires no qualifications
Theatre/SFX makeup;
Pros
>It was the only other option I considered when first applying for colleges
>Stimuling environment, like-minded peers etc.
>I can try to weave illustration into it
>I love makeup and hair
>Im starting to enjoy 3D arts more and more
Cons
>Again, IDK if it's something I see myself doing forever
>The 'traditional' way to do it requires level 2 first, then level 3 which another 2 years down the drain if I dislike it
>Otherwise I can enroll in a year-long program that is paid for, requires no experience however it is 19+ so that's another year before I can apply
I wish I could take the year out and focus on myself, do some short courses, get a better job etc. (basically an early gap year) and then apply for the paid SFX course, but since I already took a year out before college for health reasons it feels like just wasting time. I think that course I really what I want to go for, whilst I wait to turn 19 for it I might do level 2 beauty just so I have some experience. Illustration will always be in my heart but its best suited to be more of a side hustle/hobby, it's too isolated of a career and it's becoming clear I need human interaction 24/7 or I get depressed and have a mental breakdown about being alone and dying alone (Ive never been in a relestionship, but this is for another time lmao)
That's a load of my shoulders, I feel like I forgot a few things but oh well

I found out last night I contracted genital herpes from my boyfriend. I recall him mentioning once during our relationship that he was prone to cold sores, and he had revealed that he had one under his lip last week.
I didn't know he had an active cold sore at the time we had sex, and that through oral sex it can be transmitted to genitals. I'm frustrated at him for not knowing this, I'm frustrated at him for not telling me he had an active cold sore but then again he was not aware it could spread that way and it's unfair to strictly blame him.
I told him over the phone today and he felt awful and apologized, and he was supportive of what happened, but I still feel so distraught. I love him, but we've only been dating for about 7 months and at my age (23) I know the possibility of moving on from this relationship.
I can't imagine being intimate with a partner in the future knowing I will have recurring herpes outbreaks. I know it's not necessarily a romantic death sentence but I feel like a sexual leper. I'm so repulsed by the idea of sex at the moment I want to become a celibate monk.

I am madly insecure about my body and I have never had sex before because of it, I want to lose weight, get a breast lift, fat transfers, and laser scar removals, but I am 18 and just starting out in life and haven't even found a good enough job to move out my dorm yet
I know some may have their opinions on plastic surgery, and I know I'll get the whole "oh you're still gonna hate yourself after it" bull, I have bad marks all over my thighs, all my fat goes to my arms and stomach and my tits are A or B and massively saggy with puffy nipples and my butt is so square with craters on the side
I just want to look decent or feminine, it looks fine in clothes then when the clothes comes off it is nauseating, I want to be able to wear tight clothes, go braless, go swimming without embarrassing myself and I want to be able to take all my clothes off in front of my significant other and have them be attracted to me and I want to be confident, any tips on how I can work this out or alternatives to plastic surgery?

>and hello wall o text from exbf!
>my stoic exbf who has been a dick and has not been open to me about his feelings suddenly apologized for everything he could think of. quite heartfelt, appropriate, and retrospectively understandable
>heart is ripped in two
>the only winning move is not to play at all
How the fuck did I let myself fall into this trap. My exbf is complicated. I love him but he's always been one of those guys who I know others won't understand. He tries to be strong but I've always had a sneaking suspicion that he's hiding his emotions so it doesn't interfere with his work. His apology to me confirmed everything I could never get a clear answer about (affection is nice, but words are important too). He's a hard rock with a soft squishy core and very few people get to see that side of him. He's wonderful and we've had such great times together. It crushes me knowing that it's quite unlikely someone will ever get to be as close to him as I was.
My best friend is a god damn cookie cutter version of me. We're like pb&j. It's an effortless connection and it's made even better by the fact that we had so many years of just being friends. I think that's something not many men and women get to experience. But the damn kid thing. Kids are a big important thing to him because his mom and siblings have all passed and he wants a family again. His dad wants to be a grandpa. I absolutely won't budge on my stance about it. He's been conflicted about it but last night confirmed he can't change his mind for a few more years when he maybe feels there's no chance left at being a parent. Last night was pretty damn heartbreaking. We just sat and cried together knowing we're perfect for each other but there's nothing we can do about that issue and we need to stop it now. He said he doesn't regret anything, and I don't either, but what a roller coaster ride it's been to fall in love with my best friend. This pain is the price we have to pay for having too much fun without considering our goals I guess.
I don't know what to do… My visa is almost expired so this timing is weird and I wish I had another month or two. Things with best friend can't work out currently no matter how much we both wish it could. My exbf and I are on rocky waters but he's never needed a second chance before so I think he deserves it. Which means I should spend the last week of my trip with exbf to see if we can rekindle things or otherwise we're done and I'll be alone and just holding onto hope that my best friend never finds a good girl to procreate with. I feel like such a selfish bitch. It's an unreal feeling to be torn between two men that I both care for very much. For now I guess I'll just take it day by day. I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want to leave either of them alone. I am not a decision maker. Picking a restaurant is like pulling teeth for me, nevermind this shit my god.

I would be blunt about it, I was too busy being sad about everything and apologizing for my emotions that it didn't help.
Just try to first assess if you're overreacting and letting your depression tell you a bunch of bullshit or if he is going out of his way to ignore you.
If he is, pin him down and tell him how you feel and do not apologize for how you feel.
If you are overreacting then just step aside for a moment, don't look at discord and focus on your emotions. After you calm yourself down, join in on the conversations. Make yourself a part of them instead of feeling like the odd man out. It's hard and it feels awkward but just stick your neck out and try to spend more time with him even if it's with others.

>>190622Hey anon. I don't know if you are really as bad as you think you are, but if so, I am a fellow ugmo and I'd be happy to give you some advice to make life a bit more bearable and help your body image.
Take advantage of this site. Seriously. Lolcow and /cgl/, though their beauty standard are pretty extreme, are a treasure trove of information. I would totally go through the makeover thread in /g/ on here. You probably want to check out the skincare threads too.
What race are you? What is your skin like? Do you have any remarkable features? If you have even one beautiful feauture, no matter how insignificant, please try to highlight that and downplay the things you are least confident about. For example, I am ugly in the face but I have very unique eyes. So I try to keep my makeup simple, but wear flattering eyeshadow that draw attention to my eye color.
Try to sort things out a category at a time. Hair, skin, body, nails, makeup, and clothes.
Hair that is healthy, in good condition, and a flattering color/cut for your face can be life saving. A bad haircut will make you feel worse about yourself. Find out your face shape and search the Internet for good styles that suit you. Do you want short hair? Long hair? Long hair will inherently make you seem more feminine. You can also search for flattering hair colors for your skin tone. Just make sure it is healthy and well styled.
Skincare is very important, not only for the condition of your skin now, but also as it appears when you are older. I recommend an oil cleanser, a regular cleanser, witch hazel toner (no alcohol!), and moisturizer to get you started. Wear sunscreen during the day, and exfoliate once a week. Check out the Korean skincare threads on here and Reddit for product recommendations, and examples of specialized routines catered to your skin type.
Your body is probably not as bad as you think it is. But I also struggle with bad body image. If you want to change, you need to make the decision to diet and exercise. We have some absolutely wonderful diet and exercise threads on here. Calculate your TDEE, and subtract 500 calories from it. Boom, you will lose weight. Do both cardio (running, swimming, biking) and strength training (weights, push ups, squats, lunges, etc.) 2 to three times a week to tone your body. I promise that if you truly dedicate yourself to this lifestyle change, you will be happier with your body. You may not look "perfect". You may not look like the girl of your dreams. But you will look so much better and be so much happier than you do now.
Take care of your fingernails. Take a women's vitamin and invest in a good nail file. You don't need to get a manicure every week, but try going once every month or two months. Giving yourself self-care and making yourself go out into the world will help you.
Flattering makeup is one of the best things you can do to help yourself appear more attractive. Insta ho makeup looks terrible on everyone. Try to do light, natural makeup suited for your face and eye type. Invest in a BB cream rather than a foundation. There are a million makeup tutorials out there, YouTube is the best place to learn. We have a makeup thread here too that can help you with more specialized tips. Just remember that less is sometimes more, and you want to focus on highlighting your good features more than hiding your bad ones.
Finally, you will feel more confident in clothes that flatter you and you personally like, than clothes that are unflattering but trendy. Not to say that you can't like what' she in right now; but some of the styles that are popular this month won't be by Christmas. Go through and konmari your entire wardrobe. If it doesnt spark joy, donate it. After that, assess what you have and don't have (lacking basics? Lacking shoes or sweaters?) and make a list of what would make your wardrobe more complete, and more you. Buy what makes you happy and confident. Just remember that not everything we love looks good on us.
I'm 22 and I'm still struggling, anon. I can't tell you how many times I've looked in the mirror and hated what I saw. How many times I've planned out all the variously plastic surgeries I want. But you are still young, and you can do so much to inspire confidence in yourself before you seriously consider surgery. If you put hard work into improving yourself, it will be more rewarding.
Don't forget that your personality, charm, and unique talents are important to you right overall attractiveness to other people as well. You can be the most beautiful girl in the world, but if you are cruel and stupid, you will be disliked. I know it seems hopeless now. But you have the power to change. You are beautiful and unique. I wish you well.

>>190747No anon, they don't boost anything. Go to a doctor and discuss hormone pills with them lest you fuck yourself up irreparably. All supplements that aren't vitamins or feeding formulas are bullshit and rely on people's ignorance and desire for a quick fix.
Eat properly, exercise, and your body will be fine. The best you can expect from the supplements is a placebo and maybe some diarrhoea-induced water weight loss.

Anything that is sold on social media, hippies, and/or "health food" stores is more than likely a scam. If it's something that promises to cure disease, alter a particular body part, or is touted as a 'natural cure' it's absolute bullshit every time.
You need to educate yourself on how the body works and learn some critical assessment skills if you're buying powders and potions.
If you are diagnosed as hormone deficient your doctor would have prescribed you a course of treatment, was your deficiency self diagnosed or legitimate?

I get why people jump into conclusions sometimes because that's part of human nature, but FUCK. My ex was like that and that's one of the reasons why we had to end it. He'd jump into conclusions way too fast and wouldn't accept explanations because of how "intuitive" he was, so by his logic his crazy assumptions were always right.
I'm seeing this new guy now and yesterday we had an argument and kept assuming things about the way I felt concerning the topic we were arguing about. When I said "no, I don't I feel this way. This is what I feel: yadda yadda yadda". Then he said "no, you don't. I'm very perceptive and intuitive".
…Fuck off. First, you get super pissy over something pretty much unimportant,
then you try to guilt trip me (it worked, it made me feel awful!),
then assume things about me,
and when I tell you how I genuinely feel you say I'm lying because your shitty ~intuition~ says so?
Why do people act this way? Why?
I'm sure his ~intuition~ is telling him I'm mad because he said I'm not being myself today. Yeah, I'm not feeling that great around you anymore. Surprise. I'm disappointed and bitter now. I guess that under different circumstances I probably wouldn't have cared this much about this problem, but the fact he acted like a cunt/reminded me of the worst traits my ex had really ruined it. I was starting to develop feelings so I guess I'm lucky… But it feels bad, man.

>>190843>>190845Yep USA, I'm not an artist but doodle of what is going on.
I had braces when I was younger, got a permanent retainer put on. He put it on misaligned and I kept telling him over and over it was wrong but he managed to talk me past it. Over time it just got worse.
I grind my teeth at night (I have a night guard) so since my retainer isn't straight, my grinding is pulling my bottom teeth backwards in toward my tongue. It was really impacting my speech and I started to develop a lisp.
I legitimately sound like this chick now and anything with a T, S, P, anything like that is a HARD Lisp.

No. 190862
>>190858It was only slightly misaligned for a long time but didn't cause any issues, it just annoyed me that I could feel it with my tongue. Then it slipped down more and it's been an issue for about…9 months? Like 3 of which I've been waiting for the impressions to be sent off to make the trays and then have them shipped back. the first 6 or so, I brought up that I thought it was getting worse, he said it was fine, waited til my next checkup and was like "dude no fix this shit"
Permanent retainers are fairly common here from what I've seen, it's literally just a piece of wire fused to the back of your teeth with strong glue and you can't take it off unless your dentist does.

What ACTUALLY helped me with the issue was fitness. Lifting to be more precise. I started gaining muscle (and some fat ngl) and now I'm a nice A cup and still going up.

My life is falling apart because of my mental problems and idk what to do. I can't afford any hobbies or to go anywhere or do anything, all I have to play on is my shitty old iPhone and since I had to move back in with my mom, none of my friends talk to me anymore. My job is giving me 15 hours a week, saying it's not fair to the other employees they hired when we were at fucking capacity to give me more hours. And finding a job is stressful as fuck because the amount of kush I have to smoke to relax and be able to sleep or avoid the trembling, nausea, vomiting and stomach issues I have makes it nearly impossible to find a job in an already shitty economy. I guess re one bright side is that I have insurance, but after the money that gets taken out of my paycheck every week to pay for it and my car payment and car insurance, I can't afford to use it. Not only that, living with my mom is hell because she has a hair trigger temper, nags incessantly, and is the most reclusive person I've ever met- she goes to and from work and only talks to people she absolutely has to, hates everyone and says eeeyone is just using you for something or wants to dig gossip out of you. She's the reason I have so many self esteem and trust issues, and idk. Just being stuck in a house with her and not havignsyrhing to do but browse the same 3 apps on my phone and stare at a wall because I literally have $3 in the bank and can't afford to go anywhere or do anything and knowing that nothing is going to get better is really just making me want to die
And I've already called my therapist, suicide hotline, shelters, everyone who claims they can help me get my life back on track and help me get out on my own are a bunch of goddamn liars. Nobody wants o help you unless they get money or recognition out of it, or it makes them look like a good person.
I just want to die and stop being surrounded by happy, normal people who get to just be okay while I struggle to break even every single day of my life. I've lived the last 4 years like this and it's killing me to watch everyone else get their lives started and to sit here and feel so stuck as helpless just because I'm mentally ill.

I'm emotionally attracted to a boy I'm not physically attracted to.
On top of that, it's long distance.
We met on a dating site, and we share the same interests and values. He's a huge weeaboo and very sweet. He also knows all about my mental health problems and isn't scared away by it, if anything he's supportive.
He's just not my type physically, he's not ugly per se, but just not attractive to me. Maybe he could clean up well but I don't know, I'm not physically interested in him.
Lately, our conversations have been growing more distant, both because of our work schedules and stressors in our individuals lives. Now, our conversations are mostly "Hope your day has been going well." and nothing else. Hours between texts.
I think the support I've mentioned before has turned into more of an older brother caring attitude than anything else, and there's no flirtation or chemistry in the chats. I guess that makes it easier when he inevitably leaves me.
I don't date, I can't find guys that I have a mutual attraction to. I don't think I'm even that picky. I don't drink or enjoy clubbing so I just use OKCupid and Tinder, but I know that's not going to get me anywhere. I just keep holding out hope.

Parents often struggle to express love for their children as they get older and more rigid and their children more grown up and complex. They seek the kind of relationship they had once, but it's hard to do so when they've naturally grown apart. They often resort to showing love in ways that worked best when their child was still little: some are seemingly overbearing, some are seemingly too critical, some worry needlessly, some pamper ridiculously, some do this, some do that, and their kids find it awkward or confusing, or infuriating. But it's all their way of showing love, in the best way they can think of.
Yours buys sweets for her darling little child. It used to put such a huge smile on your pretty little face, and a tiny squeal of joy! Remember that? She does, it was the best thing in her life, it lit up her soul.
Understand your parents, cut them some slack, be gentle and patient with them, put your love for them before your desire that they do as you please. It's your time to take care of them, they did their fair share for you.

Two days ago I had some severe sleep paralysis. I get it about maybe once every 2 or three months, sometimes more, sometimes less. At one point I was getting it back to back, like every morning I wouldn't be able to move for maybe 2-3 minutes.
But anyway, this incident lasted longer, and I started to hear voices telling me random stuff that I couldn't make out. The voices sounded familiar, like my grandma, but a 2spooky version of her.
I did my usual, breathe through your nose and try not to fight it but it lasted so long. And After it was over I ended up going back to sleep lol (I first woke up at like 7 or 8)
I also have a lot of problems falling alseep so I pace around my room for a while. I always feel like some sort of monsterish version of a male figure that used to be in my life is going to pop up and scream at me. I feel like when I turn the lights of and try and focus on sleep the voices come back. Telling me I'm going to go to hell and that my boyfriend is gonna leave me and that everyone hates me.
I think of suicide and death almost every day now, I was waking home one day and looked at the very top floor of my apartment and fantasized about just jumping off the roof.
The voices told me it'd be a good idea but then I remembered it was finals week and I was about to graduate so I decided to go get a drink and watch TV instead.
I had stopped cutting for a while but I picked it back up and now one of my wrists looks pretty fucked up. Not super bad because I try not to cut too deeply or too long, but there are enough noticable scars. When people ask I just lie and the subject usually gets dropped.
Idk what's wrong with me but I'm also weirdly uncomfortable with going to a therapist even though I know I should. The thought of talking to one of them and then getting drugged up and dependent on whatever they give me to feel 'better' makes me shiver.
For some reason, I feel like I'll lose a connection with myself? Like, the voices and everything are my sixth sense and going to therapy will take that away from me?
I know it sounds ridiculous but I feel like I just have this ability, like I was chosen for something and this is just the price I have to pay

Oh god farmers, I'll never be able to find a house so perfect for me ever again I could cry rn.
I'm trying to buy my first home because I'm paying an absurd amount of rent, that's as high as a mortgage for a >$200k home in exchange for this dingy, non-remodeled, loud, 1 bed 1 bath apartment in a corporate complex that doesn't give a shit. Constant spiders and roaches get in because of poor sealants and dirty neighbors.
It's awful, I live in a box and the only time I get outside is on my little patio in the shadiest, mosquito-ridden part surrounded by a bunch of durka durkas at any given time.
The housing market in my area is so hot that homes are sold or under contract in as little as 48 hours after they post. The homes that tend to stay on the market for a week or greater tend to range $300k+ with some issues, or they're million dollar homes. Or they're ridiculously priced condos or townhouses.
Yet I found the cutest, single-family bungalow with a wonderfully updated kitchen, hardwood floors, a yard, storage shed, and for $150k. Which was an AMAZING deal considering it was located next to an expensive country club and 10 minutes from my job.
It stated for sale even though it had been on the market for about a month, but I figured maybe so since it was rather small and not exactly convenient for adults w/ crotchfruits, a rather common factor around here.
I was prepared to apply for down payment grants, initiated a mortgage lender for pre-qualifying questions, and then finally called the realtor who posted the listing. As I introduced myself to her and told her I was interested in a showing, she interrupted me and told me that the listing had long gone under contract to someone else.
I sounded polite, but on the inside it was so soul-crushing. She was kind of condescending about it too, like, how dare people not know the house was no longer for sale even though it was listed as such. She even said "I don't know why people are still calling about that listing…" Stupid.
Worst part is, I'm completely alone in trying to find a place to live. My bf is extremely unmotivated and is too lazy to do the basic stuff for himself like schedule a doctor's appointment or get his license. I love him, but I don't expect anything from him.
I wish I were richer. I wish I had a bf who was also rich and who would take lead in helping us get out of here. It's so hard to feel like the only one interested in this and doing it myself.
Either way, I'm stuck here for another year as we have no choice but to sign another lease before our old one expires. I'm so bummed.

I had a bad dream last night, well more or so of a dream because I felt like I was reliving what happened to me a couple years ago. Maybe I'm just super sensitive, but what my friend did to me really screwed me over emotionally. The " dream " went like this: Me & friend were talking to each other about school alone in a classroom. For whatever reason he starts getting very close to me. I back up slowly while he keeps moving towards me. I try to laugh it off because he's making me uncomfortable, he starts to chase me around the class. He pins me on the floor and he gropes me, won't let me go even after I told him to stop repeatingly. It was only a couple of minutes of me struggling to get him off me yet I started to cry. He tells me how small my chest basically is & then lets go of me. It's always been an experience I wanted to forget because it's the first time I've ever grown to be scared of someone I trusted. I constantly went to school with fear that he's going to touch me & I wouldn't be strong enough to get him off me. Everyday I would try to avoid him, but he manages to find me & acts like nothing happened. Even after all these years, I feel humiliated, powerless & scared that I might see him again somehow. I never told anyone this because I feel like I'm overreacting. This isn't the first time someone has touched me against my will, but whatever it's not like I'm entitled to my own body. I don't know, but I woke up crying last night over this. Maybe it's because he's the reason why I dropped out & became a neet. Maybe my actions afterwards were extreme, but the only one affected by it was myself. I'm suicidal nowadays, to think something as stupid as that could turn you into complete waste of air. I've had a lot of breakdowns this month & my hair is started to fall off from all the stress. I've delt with depression most of my life & it's starting to take a toll on my health. I'm so fucking pathetically stupid & useless. I don't even know why I bother even existing at this point, which is dumb because I'm giving myself until the end of the year to live. See? All of this baggage for something stupid that happened years ago, yet I still cry about it like a pissy bitch. Dumb. Sage for excessive spergs

>>191538Eh, ASPD is fairly uncommon and laymen using the wrong terminology doesn't make sociopathy a legit diagnosis. Anybody calling it sociopathy these days is pretty obviously uneducated on ASPD.
Besides, if anon actually had ASPD they sure as shit wouldn't be too concerned about it or about drama.
No. 191557
>>191541You sure?
Working in MH I've never once heard a professional use the term sociopath despite the patients being high behaviour and regular ASPD cases. Even our teachers looked at you like a retard if you said 'sociopath'. Maybe it's different in America or wherever you are, but in my country it's not considered a thing by anyone respected or even mediocre in the field.
No. 191559
>>191557I'm not in the field, but I've worked in correctional services and yes it's still in use and differentiated by psychologists I've spoken to.
That's anecdotal though, I suppose more recent graduates wouldn't. In any case there is a certain debate about it. Personally I do believe there is a difference but that's just my own experience/opinion.
No. 191560
>>191559I agree with you about their being differences in presentations of ASPD and the changes around use of the term sociopath, but ime it's more of a spectrum of behaviours similar to the autism spectrum. You get your severe "sociopath" level cases who are dangerous as rabies and moderate cases where the person doesn't present with such full-blown behaviours and is manageable with community intervention.
I'd say you come across the first type whilst I deal with the second type, which would definitely be different experiences entirely. My kids can still be swayed be certain consequences for their actions, but I imagine your clients were closer to the 'I'll murder you, rape your corpse, and laugh about it every day in solitary' end of the deal.
No. 191566
>>191560A spectrum makes sense yes, that's kind of the gist I got. But I also had a psychologist tell me that sociopaths were just "missing" something, like a brain defect and she seemed to genuinely believe that.
I don't think that's true, but I can see where she's coming from. She was pretty old though and in that kind of environment maybe it's easier to tell yourself that than admit humans are just fucked up without being defective.
Thankfully no I didn't work with truly dangerous criminals. Some I was warned about definitely had something "off" about them but that could just be confirmation bias because I was told beforehand.

I'm not a psychology expert or anything. I just wonder if I'm so screwed up that I have all these incidents for attention without being conscious about it, and this is why everyone pulls away. I fear that there is something far worse wrong with me than just my mental illness that I know about (major depression, anxiety/panic disorder).
I can't stop thinking about and analyzing everything I did and those around me did and trying to understand why I lash out and I just can't get a hold of it. Every time I feel that I was pushed, but other people don't see it that way.
I don't want to be a bad person or so screwed up. I just want to be a good person.

Worrying about having an illness you aren't diagnosed with is silly, especially if the illnesses you're worried about are severe and mostly untreatable personality disorders. Anyone with those disorders will not give a shit or will reject it as an insult to their superiority, not lose sleep over whether they're harming people or if they might be insane.

I started dating someone a few months ago. We are long distance. I've visited him twice already, we are really compatible and into each other. He doesn't want to commit to me because there is no end date to us being long distance (I am trying to find a job where he lives, but it will take some time). Despite this, things have been going well, I feel as though he is my boyfriend–we are only seeing each other, we spend a lot of our free time together (Skype, playing games, etc.) and hell, he even referred to me as his girlfriend to his mother.
The other day, we were talking about someone who's dating around, and he was like "Why don't you do that too? We are so far away after all." and… my heart hurt. Why would I want to do that? I have him. Do I have him? Can I even say that? It made me realize he could easily start dating around and leave me for another girl who could provide him with physical affection, and the thought devastates me. I feel so helpless and fucking stupid for being so in love.
No. 191629
>>191609You need to get some self-respect and leave him. He's told you directly that he doesn't think you're dating, and he would go for a real life girl if it was convenient. Why are you agonizing over him? The "evidence" for him considering you a partner is easily explained (tells mom you're his gf so he doesn't look like a loser), and besides that vastly overpowered by him saying DIRECTLY THAT YOU'RE NOT HIS GF.
He is clearly using you temporarily: for emotional support, for fucking once in awhile, for social status. At least he has the honesty to tell you that!

I've literally witnessed child molesters and other horrible people say they're going to go to heaven after they die, whereas any non-believers will not no matter how good they were in life (Pope Francis recently turned this around a little, but up until him this was seriously the belief).
I'd argue that religion makes social cooperation worse because it gives a false high ground to people who essentially believe they can do whatever the fuck they want under an appeal to authority.

I feel like I'm doomed to be stuck in high-stess, low paying customer service jobs because I'm a short, young female holding advanced degrees that nobody respects with a job history that is all service.
I try to find upward mobility but either under-qualified (yet seniority) people outrank me, I don't have the experience, or my degree type isn't right.
It's frustrating.
I requested sick from my call center today just because we were having massive irregular operations due to weather (something customers expect us to be miracle workers about) and I didn't want to have to deal with nonstop rudeness and bitching today.

I used to have a friend I sometimes talked to in high school that lied about some really personal - but pretty harmless - stuff. I wouldn't call her a pathological liar since she never really lied about anything else, just this one lie that sort of got out of control. She was otherwise nice, albeit quiet, and had some problems at home with a controlling single mom and had to take shitloads of Xanax or something similar because of that.
Anyway, we graduated high school and got into college, and since the community here is very small, I ended up getting to know some people that knew her from elementary school. The truth behind that lie got out, and then they also started spreading gossip about her from her early days and piling on her. She'd dropped out not long before that and disappeared without a trace.
The rumors kept going and she soon became like a mini college lolcow.
Lately I've been watching "13 Reasons Why" and wondering what she's doing now. She's always been kind of a weird, cringy sperg that people made fun of behind her back but other than that the girl was nice and pretty harmless. We've since graduated, but I wish I could've done something to make it stop. I tried to contact her a few times over FB but she ended up deleting it, I just remember that her Facebook posts were always some negative lowkey rants (irl she was always happy to talk to people, so idk). I hope she's okay.

I'm never exactly fishing for 'we don't hate you!!! uwu" since I never believe them anyway, but when I get into the state where I actually have to ask, I'm more just trying to get them to admit it (since other actions have kind of told me that they're sick of me, regardless of the paranoia BS). Which I understand could be manipulative. But to me, why lie about it and then get annoyed if I ask after you've shown that we're not that close any more, rather than just tell me?

I don't feel as though it's a battle that I want to keep fighting.
I think they think I play the 'victim' card because I tend to use my twitter as a bit of a venting space (hardly anyone follows me so why not) and so if they see something like 'lol everyone hates me' they assume I'm trying to get people to feel bad for me or something? Or make someone else out to be the bad guy? As
>>191673 said, everyone is somewhat self-centred anyway so considering that I know they feel the same way about themselves sometimes, wouldn't that just resonate with them rather than give them another reason to call me manipulative?
No clue. Bit of an odd bunch I'm in. I think I'm clutching at straws for reasons to keep the 'friendship' alive so now would be an ideal time to give up if I didn't feel so guilty about leaving things on shit terms.

I'm overseas and left my mom and stepdad to care for our pets.
A dove which I raised from birth escaped. I never trusted her to be released because every time I tried to give her a fly around the house she didn't seem to get the hang of landing and would just drop right out of the air. She'd even seized once and that was the last attempt.
Fortunately she's been doing well outside and visits our feeder everyday. I was a little ticked that it happened but I'm glad to hear she's doing well.
Also last year my mom wanted to get some baby chicks. I said nope, no, I'm going to be the one to care for them, I'm terrified of them getting eaten by wild animals, bad idea.
She insisted my stepdad would build a big safe run for them outdoors.
So we got three. We were in the middle of a move to a proper house but stepdad never had the time for that run before I went on my trip.
I was with them everyday and raised them. In particular the white one grew really fond of me and she was quite an adventurous and curious bird.
So the chickens stayed in the sunroom once they got bigger but that of course didn't work as the weather got warmer and so we got a pretty large chicken tractor that I figured would do the trick until the run could be made.
Before I left, and I had mentioned this many times to the point of probably being an annoyance, I said… "Don't let them out unless you're watching"
"Yep got it, I absolutely won't"
That said, my stepdad is stubborn and kept talking about letting them out to free range and that they'll pop back in their little home when the sun sets.
So the other day I got this text from my mom…
>Ducky (the white chicken) got alien abducted the other day. Literally disappeared and we haven't seen her since. I still look for her but no sign at all. If an animal got her there would be feathers. It's been making me crazy. We came home from work and no Ducky. Now we are afraid to let the chickens out if we aren't home. I miss her.
I was kind of confused at first about how a chicken could have escaped that tractor, reached the end of the text and I was furious.
Calmed down and just said "Oh no… I said not to let them out if no one's watching… This is why I didn't want chickens"
>I know. They like being out so much though.
Awesome. No apology. And this is silly but my meds give me really vivid and realistic dreams and in my dreams since that day I've been endlessly trying to find all of my birds (and also my childhood dog?). If I was home I would search for hours. She's a chicken, so that's great cause she can eat whatever and be fine. But I'm not sure how she'll do for water and also she's bright white and we have hawks, coyotes, snakes, all sorts of shit around… Hoping she's just being broody somewhere and will come back soon.
Just… insanely frustrated. I love my mom but this is such an "I fucking told you so" situation and I wish it wasn't. I'm crushed that my buddy is gone.

You won't need a cage until they can fly and there's usually free or cheap ones on craigslist that'll do the trick.
I'm sure the eggs have been dealt with by now but if your boyfriend is insisting I wouldn't worry about the hassle of it too much. They need to be fed regularly but I've never lost a bird while giving them formula. It's like an IV drip.

I'm not saying that you are, and there are def some whiteknights who show up from time to time that I truly understand people snapping at i.e "you are all bitches!!! So and so is an angel!!" But just because every single thread here isn't a perma circlejerk of nitpicking and frothing at the mouth, is that really a bad thing?
All in all, I'm getting older, and the more laud back vibe we used to have here was what attracked me in the first place. Lols were had.

I used to feel that way, but it was a weird shame/self harm thing I was indulging in bc I stopped drinking and used that as a form of release. Maybe try looking into other forms of release especially exercise, that way you are in your body and using it to release endorphins in a healthy way. Otherwise consider seeing a therapist short term depending on how bad it is, for me it ended up being a symptom of a really big issue I would not have discovered on my own.

I broke my nose when I was very, very young and it's always made me look so fucking ugly.
It's not very big per se, but it has a bump, a bulbous tip and bends to one side a little bit. I don't have an ugly face but my nose completely ruins it.
I've wanted a nose job ever since I was 14, I'm now 24. I was finally going to have it. I even went for a consultation and the doc showed me a photoshopped after pic on my face and I cried, it looked so much better.
But I'm a poor person living in an expensive country and the price was €8700. I'd saved up 8000, and I was given an option of a loan. They said there won't be any problems since I already have most of the money.
However, when I went to apply for the loan, the bank denied it because I have no income and they don't take savings into account. I can't afford it now, and I can't get a job for other reasons I won't disclose here. I'll also be really busy for the next 5+ years and will have to move several times so if I ever get it done, it'll probably be when I'm at least 32.
I'm devastated. It was finally going to happen, and someone just jerked it right out of my hands. Now I'm stuck with an ugly nose forever, or at least while it matters. I know people are going to start lecturing me about life not ending after you turn 30, but I want to be pretty and enjoy life while I still can. When I turn 30 I'm planning to get a husband and have a baby anyway so my looks won't matter as much.

>>191907 said is completely right. When I started my plan I'd watch tons of videos on weight​ loss and i remember one that specifically said it's better to focus only on dieting when you don't have much motivation/need to lose a considerable amount of weight. First because you
will feel more motivated to better yourself once you lose some lbs and because if you're too heavy, working out can really fucking exhaust and stress you out in the beginning. You don't need to lose much but I think the motivation thing could work for you. Good luck!

i'm so fucking exhausted. i have severe restless leg syndrome and sleeping at night is getting worse. i can't lay on my back or the wormy/crawling jolting feeling intensifies. laying on my side hurts my hips because for some reason my bones are tender ? (i don't know why this is but even a small amount of pressure is horrible)and sleeping on my stomach is ruining my shoulders because i have to extend one arm under my head/pillow and it feels like i'm really fucking them up.
i have no comfortable sleeping position and by the morning i've reverted to a baby's sleeping pose, all bunched up under myself just to get a few minutes before i just give in and wake up.
i want the RLS to go away, it ruins my day and my nights and the last few medications i took for it sucked. one made me dissociate for like 3 weeks.
i used to have my bf really grind his fists/heels of his palms into my muscles, stand on my legs, just to make the sensations stop, but that kept causing really bad bruising and i can't do that anymore.

I gave it a few minutes in case she was preheating it or something, but nothing. Then when I vaguely called her out, I got a "wasn't me" until I pointed out the burnt bananas. Bitch I was sleeping until now, who the hell was it?
Of course the first time I room with a stranger and they turn out to be a meth head. IDK what to do because I don't want to cause tension if I am just overreacting and then I'm still stuck with her.
A friend is picking me up to hang out tomorrow, I might ask her to stop in and see if she can't place the scent.

>>192089Lol most people who do meth don't have scabs or smell bad. That's just propaganda. Only backwood hicks experience all that and let's face it, they'd have scabs and poor hygiene regardless
If she's a bio student then she's smart and she's using meth or some addy type substance as a study aid. The problem isn't the drug it's sleep deprivation that makes people do weird shit.

>>192115Thereally isnt anything "quick" about therapy. She shouldn't have said something like that. Therapy takes a long time, especially when the issues are severe. It's going to suck a lot at first, talking about and bringing up all those painful memories and experiences but that's the best way to get through them.
I bounced around to different therapists because I was in the military and they all ended up getting deployed or PCSing to a different base but at my last duty station I finally found someone that actually taught me useful coping techniques and educated me on how to take a step back and analyze my feelings about a situation if I got too anxious about something or if something gave me flashbacks.
Maybe you need to find a different therapist? That in itself is a daunting prospect, having to rehash everything but you need to find someone you're comfortable with that you can share your feelings with.

God, this is gonna be a complicated story to write down but I'm gonna try anyway.
So, I met this guy last year in summer and we hit it off immediately. We text for some weeks, until he starts ignoring me. Turns out he was having drama with this then-gf. After a month of no interaction he texts me again, telling me he's sorry he didn't answer me but that he was busy with life stuff. I tell him it's okay and that I hope he's alright. In respones, he starts telling me about how much of a bitch his ex gf is and how horrible their relationship was and stuff. I don't mind because we're "friends" and friends are there to listen, aren't they? Anyway, we keep talking and start meeting up almost daily on our breaks from work. We mostly talk about music and movies and stuff, but we also go kinda #sad sometimes and talk sbout our struggles and stuff. We end up going on a little trip together with some of our friends and I start catching feelings for him. He seems to be into it. Until I tell him about my past and my abusive ex. At first he tells me it's okay, that I don't need to worry but he keeps getting more distanced. We talking, but I can tell that something's going on. I keep telling myself that I'm just paranoid, until I get into the hospital because of some minor health problems and he starts ignoring me again. After two weeks, I get out and meet up with him so he can tell me what the fuck is going on. He doesn't tell me, just starts a fight over nothing and the next morning he's in a facebook relationship with some other girl. I'm super angry, tell him to go fuck himself and that he doesn't even have the balls to break up with me.
After that he tells me that "life is perfect right now" and that he never really liked me, he was just afraid of telling me after I told him about what happened with my ex. He and his new gf are in a "dream relationship" (They got matching necklaces and made slimey "I love you!!" facebook posts almost everyday) for about 3 months until they break up in february. After the break up, he texts me and tells me that it's my fault that they broke up, even though I haven't talked to him in these 3 months. He eventually tells me he's sorry and that he was acting like an asshole and that he "misses our friendship".
At that point, I'm so fed up with his highschool bullshit that I just tell him to grow the fuck up and leave me alone.
Now I didn't really bother with him again until like the end of april, when I noticed that he started getting closer with our friends again after ignoring them for the entirety of his last relationship. Eventually, one of my best friends tells me that he regularly stalks my social media accounts with a fake account (because I blocked his orginial ones). And just now he texted me about how his "open office" won't work and If I could "help him out".
What should I do? I kinda wanna help him out because I still think he's a good guy but I also kinda think he can go fuck right off

COOL.
I just found my small tri-town area's revenge porn anon.ib or whatever the fuck. Not only that, but a lot of images of girls who clearly were underage during the time the image was taken or posted. Awesome. I just looked at all these kids I graduated ahead of butt ass naked.
Then, I send the local police department a late night FB message. Their response is that the people in the pictures need to take action if they have a problem with it.
I literally just gave you a link to child porn, and you want me to comb over the identities of these people to contact them?
So I did. How fortunate was I to see my little cousin's nude ass body. I sent her a message I wrote out to send to all the girls I could identify, either with file name or whatever stupid bullshit hint those snot dicks drop to try and goad more teen titty snaps out of each other.
My cousin, probably embarrassed, told me it wasn't her. Come on dude. It's you. I feel like I have to shower over and over again. I hate myself, I hate those pigs, I hate that I just messaged a bunch of women I barely know at 3:33 AM about how I found pictures of their naked body on the internet.
All because I was curiously and stupidly trying to find an ex-girlfriend of an ex-boyfriend's camming site. Because I am a nosy bitch with nothing better to do.

I wish I had slept tonight. I have 1h left to (try to) nap and then I'll go work. And then after my horrible shift I'll have to go with my mom to this really shitty place I can't stand. I'm tired and sick, I've felt sad lately and I think I'm falling for someone I can't have because we live really fucking far.
He seems to be really interested in me too, and has said multiple times that he really wishes we could be together, and expressed his romantic feelings for me as well, but we're trying to be realistic to an extent… so knowing we most likely can't be together hurts so much. We're broke and far away.
Just to make things worse I'm a complete idiot: I started flirting with 2 people a couple days ago to try to forget about this guy I like, while telling myself I need to forget him, or that he doesn't mean much to me ("see, if i
really liked him I wouldn't be flirting with this person") which a complete lie… and now I feel even worse. Worse because I don't really care about the people I'm flirting with/leading on, and because he'd feel very sad, just like how I am feeling too. I just wanna dump these two other people and be with the one person I really want and care about.
- Not really looking for advice btw or I'd go to our advice/relationship thread. I'm just wanting to vent in the vent thread.
I probably do know what I have to do and every option available, but I can't fucking act and fix this shit right now. I'll kindly explain to one of the people I have been flirting with that I'm not really interested, and I know this person will get it, but idk what to say to the other one yet.
>>192409You're doing the right thing, anon. The fact the police said that to you is horrible. I had a crazy ex whom I had a relationship with years ago say he'd post my nudes on the web and I was scared as fuck. Lucky me he didn't have any nudes showing my face anyway, just some body parts that could be anyone's, so I lied to my close friends saying that if he ever posted anything those pictures were not really mine. Like, she's obviously doing it because she's embarrassed, so don't be too harsh on her because she must be feeling awful and sad right now. Maybe talking face to face with her will help.
Sending you good vibes.

After getting my first job (fastfood) I never want to work again. I quit 4 months into it because I just could not take it anymore, I mean the paycheck was ok but with dealing with the most unpleasant retarded customers on earth, co-workers talking shit behind my back, and my manager who was literally power tripping Satan (and my boss who refused to fire him despite multiple complaints), I just had to get the fuck outta there. I know fast food isn't supposed to be a walk in the park but it was a complete shitshow.
I've been so hesitant lately to get another job (I quit that job last October) mostly because of this experience, I keep thinking/replaying in my head of all the shit I'm embarrassingly still mad about.

>>192415sorry for laughing at your pain but "norbert" made me laugh so hard.
I've told my bf that I was uneasy about him having female co-workers that got to see him all day(lol I'm so sad) and he hugged me hard and laughed because he's hella introverted and I am literally retarded to think he would cheat.
The important part is, I was insecure because I am scared of abandonment and he saw that fear because he knows me- so he comforted me because he has empathy for me.
If your boyfriend jumps up your ass every time you're feeling insecure you have to ask yourself if you want to be around that kind of shit. Best case scenario here, you two have unresolved issues caused by a lack of communication that have nothing to do with cheating, you feel like you can't talk to him and he feels that you don't trust him. Worst case scenario, every time you have a pregnancy scare, every time you feel depressed, every time you feel like you need a sympathetic ear, he'll treat you like a clingy bitch.
I hope it's not the latter but it's a good idea to find out.

Also, I'm not even acquainted well with half of these girls, so it's like… hey I'm some random chick on some anon porno site at 3 AM and I found all your pics. I just have a huge fear of making it worse than it already is by letting them know it existed.
Even worse, what if they already knew and have just obviously not mentioned shit to people? And then I come along and dig up some site filled with nude pics of them they didn't post, and maybe they couldn't get them removed, so they decided hey let's just ignore it and move on with my life, and now here I am, going hey I'm a complete stranger and I found your nudes that you've been trying to ignore!

It's the 'reclaiming' of sexuality labels that gets me - if you really are a dude, you're not gay for liking girls. You're straight. Buck up. It also means that I end up being shamed or called 'transphobic' for having preferences.
>>192401Gender and sexuality are such wildly different issues that I agree it gets difficult to combine them within the community. It's the same sort of 'self-identity' idea that lumps us all together though, which I understand, but in the situation I'm in it makes it really difficult to socialise with gays without being deemed trans-exclusionary or something.

Accomplished a lifelong dream to move abroad last autumn. I've got a great job, a loving SO, and an adorable dog. But my stupid depression hasn't let up–in fact, it's gotten worse.
This is just going to make me sound like a huge crybaby, but I hate that I've yet to make deep connections with people. My only friends are other foreigners, which doesn't really bother me except for the fact that the only thing we have in common is that we are foreigners.
I know that I should be grateful for having friends, but our relationships are so shallow that I'd rather stay home. I've tried to make friends with the same niche hobbies/interests (Jfashion, anime, dumb weeb shit) but haven't had any luck.
If I could just make one genuine friend out here, I think I'd be a lot happier. Of course I'm seeking medical help for depression as I did back home, but in my experience it only did so much.
My problems are futile compared to other people's so i get frustrated at myself for being so depressed and whiny.

I got my period today and got really sick the first hours after waking up. Woke up with the usual cramps, then i had to poo a LOT, cramps got very painful, started cold-sweating, shaking, trouble seeing and standing, dizzy, cold and hot flashes etc. I took a paracet and passed out for 2 hours and then afterwards everything was fine.

this is very autistic but,
i got measuring tape from amazon and it came with two separate measuring tapes. one is a standard pink one and the other is pic related. the standard pink one and the blue one give me a 2" difference between measurements because i measure the blue one by the end of the tag instead of by the 0 inch. i know it's probably incorrect to do so but by the way my clothes (vintage AND modern) fit the blue one is the more accurate one, which is very confusing.

I'm getting angrier and angrier at my bf of three years.
We haven't fucked for months despite me being open and pointing out how since I've gained weight, he doesn't touch me anymore except kisses. At this point, I'm convinced he won't just say "Why yes, I don't find you attractive anymore" because he doesn't want to be the bad guy or get dumped.
I mean, I'm fine with sex not being the sole focus of a relationship.
BUT it's not that he's not having sexual intimacy like I am, he's just waiting until I'm at work/asleep to go on sites like Chaturbate and MFC to jack off to personalized whores. And one frequent whore in particular looks like a trashy fivehead hoodrat, pic related. He's focusing on this one in particular and even goes to her tumblr (probably has her on Snap too). I found that he clicked the link to her Amazon Wishlist and no man can tell me he doesn't know what that is!
I want to demand access to his billing statements and phone. He locked his phone from me because a year ago I busted him on a lie, and ever since he's nervous as fuck when I grab his phone. Probably because there's sensitive shit in there he doesn't want me to see despite it being locked.
If he's spending money (tokens) on these nightly cam rooms, which history shows he's on them every night before he deletes the history on the 3rd day, I'm so fucking done.
I almost feel like making a dating profile so I can rack up sexual attention and comments from males again. After all, how is it so different than what bf is doing to me? As long as I "keep it online" it's not cheating! As long as the men stay online as they show me their cocks and talk dirty, it's not cheating! Ugh.

Easier said than done to dump him too. In two weeks we're supposed to be signing a new lease, but I'm also not sure I can support myself if I move out. It's a competitive housing market, and most shitty 1 bed apartments start at $850 and up.
I'd prefer to move back in with my parents temporarily who live about 40 minutes away, but that means I'd have to beg my job to let me go home based so I wouldn't waste so much money commuting. I'd have to scrounge up a work PC too.
Or, heaven forbid, I quit my current job and work retail out there.
The money is what's making things so complicated.
>>192652>How much weight have you gained, tho?A lot, but not so much that I'd say I look drastically different. I know I'm prettier than the fivehead hobag. If I showed my friends the pictures of that whore and said that's who bf spends time with at 4am, they'd shake their heads and say what a stupid cock he is.
Besides, it's not something I let 'weigh' on my conscience because I know it's not my job to be responsible for my bf's feelings towards my body.
If he hates it so bad, then he should leave me.

I can understand that physical things can change about your partner that gross you out. My boyfriend sometimes has bad breakups around his mouth that squick me out but you know what? I don't make him feel like shit for them. I give him acne product recommendations, and I don't make him feel bad about it.
If it is your weight, your boyfriend if he cared about you would just tell you in a gentle way and maybe make some helpful suggestions. Does he go to the gym and eat healthily or does he sit on his ass all day? If he does work out he could offer to help you form an exercise plan and a meal plan. But he isn't doing that and is instead turning to porn and camgirls. He's not just not attracted to you, hes checked out of the relationship completely and you deserve better.

Going up a dress size, to me at least, isn't a massive change. Not a good enough one to be resorting to camgirls, imo. Yet you farmers bring up a fair point to say that men have cheated for less than that. Thank fuck I'm not married, pregnant, or have any kids because this would've destroyed me in that situation.
He should break up with me. Which is what I told him.
Speaking of that, now for the juicy part:
So I did confront him earlier today before I went into work. He slept in until 1pm, like usual, and didn't say a word to me until he was about ready to leave for a work meeting. I was in the bathroom getting ready, and he goes in to kiss me.
I told him no, and that I was mad at him over an issue that we would discuss later after work.
Like a typical guy he just couldn't handle feeling in trouble, so he kept trying to guess what it was about: "What? Am I not picking up enough? What is it?? What???"
So I finally said
>"It's because I know you're watching camgirls and porn while I'm at work or sleeping. Just why?"He goes dead silent. Eyes widen. His mind tried to search for deniability or an excuse, but he had none. He knew it.
He was so surprised I had found out, he couldn't even ask to see how I found out.
Farmers, if there's one satisfying thing in a relationship to relish–it's knowing that you're right about something and your partner knows it too. The power rush in that moment is intoxicating.
After a couple minutes of silence and seeing how mad I was, he tries to come and hug me. I was shaping my eyebrows so I pulled my scissors on him and said not to touch me. He always tries to blow over my anger by giving me affection when it's already too late.
I continue asking, if it was about my looks? My weight? How would he feel if Tyrone was sending me pics of big black cock?
He said no, and that it had nothing to do with my looks and everything to do with his gratification.
>"Okay, but you know I feel awful about my body and I've told you before how I feel like we're not intimate. Seeing you pornchat with skinny camgirls only reaffirms my reason to be insecure and feel like shit." Next he tried to say "Well I've tried engaging a few times but it never seems to work.." trying to pin our lack of sex on me not being reciprocative.
Which is bullshit, because I know if there was any genuine attempt at him romancing me or even ASKING if I wanted to fool around, I'd member.
I got him to admit that. At least.
I finally said that if he's going to continue doing this, fine, but I can't be in a relationship where I'm not desired and that he should just leave if it's true.
I told him his taste in whores was ugly and poor as well.
He decided to not go to his meeting and sat silently on the toilet seat while he watched me put on makeup. Almost like he was waiting for me to forgive him or say something peppy.
He tried complimenting my hair, and dress. But at the moment, it was way too corny and suck-up.
I went to work for a couple hours, came home for lunch, and he was still here playing vidya. Again, showered with more sudden compliments about my appearance.
We talked about it further and he made promises to not do it anymore and be more vocal about his sexual needs.
I'm not sure if I trust him, but at the very least I addressed this issue. So blame can't be pinned on me later.
If he isn't attracted to me and needed an out, he didn't take it when I offered it.
So anything that happens after this is entirely on him. And that makes me satisfied, for now.

>>192644Were you both aware entering the relationship that wou were going to get bigger? Was there a discussion about attraction and making an effort to remain attractive to each other? Was that effort made? Are you willing to lose the weight?
Look, all honesty rn, if you're pushing something like 200 pounds it's gonna be hard for him. That doesn't excuse his actions whatsoever but it does explain his headspace a little. How old are you two?

>>192695Yeah, I had a bad mental breakdown at work last year but the way I was treated during that time by my bf still resonates. I've blogposted in previous relationship threads about what happened during that time.
TL;DR he treated me badly and broke my trust with another female friend.
We went through the same cycle of me feeling betrayed, forgiving him, and putting the problem behind.
But to your other questions, no. He doesn't offer to exercise with me, and since he works at a restaurant he gets free food like entrees and salads. He doesn't cook. He never brings anything home even though he could. I eat how I do because I conserve money and try for convenience because I work so late.
Fact is he's never hinted my looks were a problem until I found out about this porn thing.
>>192709Maybe. But if there's signs of track covering he's absolutely out.
>>192714But he decided to do something that many people would consider cheating.
It is his fault, and it's not fair to me.
>>192717>>192718See this is why I don't mention anything weight related ever because some posters like you immediately use it to be smug.
He lied to me. Pretty much cheated. And you call me an "emotional manipulator" because it felt good for five seconds seeing him scared of the consequences after he hurt me? Really? What did I say to him, that you took from my post, go indicate I "whipped" or "power tripped" him?
That's so stupid it has to be bait.
>>192716Do people enter relationships knowing that their partner will get terminally ill? Get horribly burned?
If you love someone truly, it seems there's a certain degree of presumed commitment regardless of what happens.
I just went up a dress size, it didn't land me in the beetus or in need of a scooter.
And anyway, he's denying it's about my weight.

>>192736Adults in successful relationships discuss what they would do in what-if scenarios. My husband and I know what to expect from the other in case of weight gain, cancer, paralysis, infertility, unexpected pregnancy, amputations, brain death, heaps of shit.
A dress size could be ten pounds of it could be forty. You saying it's not a big deal doesn't mean it isn't to him. Attraction isn't something people can help and it's very hard to be attracted to someone who is overweight or obese (not saying you are I'm just covering the possibility)
Him cheating is wrong as fuck but you pulling scissors on him and reveling in his discomfort and unhappiness is wrong as well.

He's denying it's about my looks.
I refuse to take responsibility for his feelings about my looks after this point if he's saying he's okay with this. Which he did.
>pulling scissors on himCuticle scissors that happened to be in my hand as he tried to come for me before I get a word in. If I wrote this like it was a big deal, it really wasn't.
>The way you keep attacking her looks makes you come across insecure and petty.Sorry but I can't take this criticism seriously coming from this website.
And imo, she is ugly trash. Fatter girls don't have to constantly asspat skinny ones just to prove we're not insecure.
But that's okay, it's like people here who have free reign to call me a rhino because I gained a size, and those people don't even know what I look like even. Turns out this website is ripe for petty shit and that's why I come here to bitch anonymously.

NSFW: I'm getting romantically involved with this guy and everything was beautiful until things started to turn sexual. He's not a freak, thank god. but there's one thing he likes that I am not really into: cum play. Like, I wouldn't mind swallowing his cum, and I really love giving oral sex, seriously. But the thing is that he likes to drink his own cum. He also asked me if I would let him cum in my mouth and then kiss him so we could play with it. UGH. I know this is pretty tame compared to most stuff many of your farmers are into (I am talking about the kink thread), but just the thought of doing that made me want to gag.
So today he sent me a short video of himself stroking his dick and then eating his cum. I couldn't even watch the whole thing and deleted it right away.
… It made me want to vomit. Idk why! It just does. I lied to be nice and didn't show my disgust because I don't to make him sad, but he's so into it that I know it's a really big deal for him, so I'm rethinking our entire possible relationship now.

I didn't even know it would disgust me so fucking much. When he told me about it I was like "well, I can learn how to enjoy it", but when I saw the video… no.

I remember him staring intently at me during my 16th birthday party, and the next thing he does is yank out one of my extensions that took out some of my real hair. I screamed but he said nothing. He also smashed my birthday cake into my face (which at the time I thought LOLSORANDUMXD, but looking back he did it to be a sick and destroy my picture moment). For some reason I let that psychopathic episode go.
He didn't speak to me for a few years after I graduated (2 years younger) but the little asshole contacted me again after I started dating this guy who was bisexual, just so he could get a chance to flirt with that person. When he hung out with me and the ex, he'd clearly try to ignore me as if I weren't the sole reason he was there. Lol.

I've been struggling with one of my longest standing friendships for the past few months. We've been friends for about 7 years now, and I used to consider him one of my closest friend.
We've always had a bit of an antagonistic friendship, due to us both being arseholes, but recently I've been taking his behaviour (insults, condescending, apathetic nature) personally. On some level I know that it isn't, and this is honestly just how he is, but it's not easy to keep close, but still distant, to somebody.
Anyway, I made the mistake of saying to him that he has been upsetting me with his 'I-don't-give-a-fuck' attitude, and asked him to be nicer to me. As we've been friends for so long, I didn't think it would be a complicated request.
Naturally, he flipped out, and threw it back in my face with a whole 'playing the victim card' speech, it was so fucking dramatic (and hypocritical, because of course he labelled my request as dramatic and insisted I should just 'get the fuck over it', before deleting me off Facebook in a rage).
I'm very angry at him right now, but I am also genuinely upset for opening up to him about how I feel and having him hit back at me on my insecurities. I regret opening up, and I'm now so paranoid that I AM being a fucking pussy about it all.
Regardless, it's really changed my opinion of him. I like him less as a person now, and that also breaks my heart.

I realized I really, really found someone who shares common interests with me, is attractive and totally someone I could see myself dating. The issue is that he's my ex's best friend, and I have an awful feeling that this guy won't ever actually date me because the past I had with his best friend, and maybe, he one of those guys who dates a girl who doesn't really have anything in common with him because 'opposites attract'.

I made a social media post incentivizing some local friends to come help bf and me move bc I need to go on a work trip the next day. It just goes quicker with more people.
Bf got some of his buddies to agree, but so far my post only got one private message and it's from a girl who was low key mean to me in the past and her attitude isn't very good.
I've got no one to blame but myself though. I've been boring and socially distant this past 5 or so months so all my superficial friends don't talk to me hardly. I couldn't go to one's birthday party because of work, and I think I peeved the rest by not responding to a group PM chat.
I don't know why bad attitude girl really wants to be my friend, considering I ignored her the most.
I really wish I hadn't dug myself into such a social hole. Yet I still don't want to socialize despite being so lonely.

I've been struggling to accept my body and have a hard time being comfortable with being single. I feel like I'm always the problem when it comes to meeting and dating guys. Everytime I meet a guy, they're super excited about texting me, shower me with compliments and tell me about their day up until we have our date. Whether I end up doing anything more with them by the end of the night or not, it's always the same thing: they immediately make excuses that they're busy or sick, and then ghost the fuck out of me. I just feel like no matter what I do, I'm always doing something wrong.
And it feeds into my body issues. I've gotten more serious about my workouts and diet. I've been doing a more intense routine for about six months after two-three years of putzing around with just squats and benches with other workouts sprinkled in here and there and whatnot. I also do calorie tracking religiously where I leave leeway in the amount I consumed and do my best to leave a 400-500 calorie deficit to start burning fat. I just feel like I haven't been achieving the body I'd really like. I have no tits to start with, my ass has been getting smaller (even though I do targeted glute workouts), and my stomach has been the same with minimal change in size or ab appearance.
I just feel like I look like a little kid with that and how short I am as well, especially when going out to the gym or walking around and seeing the majority of women are way more taller/bustier/thinner/curvier than I am. Sometimes I'll feel super confident about my body, but it'll take something as ridiculous as some guy being rude or inconsiderate towards me to accomodate a more objectively attractive woman. I just feel like I won't find anyone that I consider attractive and goodlooking because of how I look or how I am, while I'll continue attracting uggos and weirdos and continuously get lurched at by gross, middle-aged men.

>>193315I mean that's been my approach recently with this one guy I've been seeing. We went on two dates, and all the physical contact I've engaged in was a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then all the sudden he just doesn't text me anymore and cancels our next date, and I don't know what I did wrong. I offered to pay each time we met up and we seemed to hit it off well in terms of conversing about life experiences and whatnot.
>>193318Sometimes, maybe. I typically am more confident on the first date, especially when I get dressed up for it and everything. I was especially confident when meeting in person with someone I've been speaking to for a while through a dating app said I look just as attractive as my photos I posted.
But now that I think about it, I do think that I did at some points during my dates talked about working out to an obsessive degree that may have been a turn off. Doesn't help that some of these guys either bring up their own workouts into a conversation or the fact that I meet some of these guys at the gym….

>>193329Sharing friendship funnies with a public audience (50 people is still 50 people) can backfire because you don't know how she feels about just you having it vs. other people seeing it too.
Back in high school I got super mad at my bestie at the time because she took this embarrassing, dorky picture of me dressed in a Christmas present costume when I was 11 and posted it to her Xanga blog. All of her msn and AIM chat orbiters would constantly view it.
It did make me look pretty fug, I was clearly the joke of the picture.
At first she wouldn't take it down telling me that I was just overreacting, but I finally whined to my parents and they got her parents to tell her to knock it off. It made me really upset and knocked my self-esteem.
That's why I always ask my friends if they're comfortable with pictures first before I post anything online. It's should be courtesy these days.

I had this thing with a girl for a couple of months, and we would always message each other and I always used to get super happy when she would drop me a message. We went on one date and we both wanted to do it again but every time i asked her on another one she would drop out last minute because she was basically feeling like shit. My feelings were really hurt but, i still seemed to think she liked me, because she still occasionally would message me.
But it took me until now to realise she probably doesn't anymore, not only that but I think she's interested in someone else who she talks to all the time.
We never got that close but I wish I had the chance to get to know her better.

>>193547Trust me, I was unaware I had a UTI for at least 2 weeks until my guts kicked my ass when I went to pee one time. Just go to the ER and save yourself. You could permanently damage your organs, especially your bladder.
Aside from that, (without being too bloggish) I'm a victim of domestic abuse. I broke up with said boyfriend 4 years ago but every night I'm still having nightmares of him raping me and strangling me. Ironically this was my fetish before meeting him and I'm at a loss. I want to divulge this information with my therapist, my current boyfriend, and have sex again but I feel like I'm allowing a bad thing to happen. I know I'm kind of a dumb bitch for saying it…I really hate this shit. Since the past breakup I feel nausea if my boyfriend just touches my butt affectionately. I haven't had sex for months with him.

>>193547I get them on a regular basis so I feel your pain. If you can manage to go to the shop or get someone to go for you, buy a big carton of cranberry juice (or any kind of juice!) and those little sachets you put in water.
The only thing you can do is drink these and shit tonnes of water. I generally lock myself in the bathroom with all three while sitting on the toilet. DON'T force the pee out as that makes it worse, just wait until you've drank a fair amount first.
Hot water bottles sometimes help relax me. I also find that if it's mild enough, taking painkillers can dull the pain a little and give me enough pain-free time to run downstairs to get a new bottle of water or refill my hot water bottle. Run yourself a nice hot bath too (but don't add any bubble solution!). Sometimes it's nice to sit in the warm water which soothes the pain and also pee in if you need to lol (people who think this is gross have never felt this amount of pain before).
It should go away after a day but if you still have it by the time your doctor opens, GO. Women are really good at ignoring pain and when I had my first UTI at 15 for about two weeks my doctor said that usually people are rushed into A&E with that kind of pain but I managed to tough it out for two weeks while still going to school daily. They'll give you antibiotics to kill the infection and hopefully painkillers too.

I did something sexual for the first time in my life and I'm still trying to process it.
Went on a date with a guy, wasn't expecting anything, then we wound up back at my place. It started with just some heavy making out and touching but then he went down on me.
He would go for a while, then we would take a break, but I couldn't get off. There was no penetration, I gave him a handjob, it was the first time I'd ever touched a dick. I know it wasn't "real" sex but I still don't know how I feel about myself.
It feels like everyone is all gung-ho about having sex except me. It wasn't unpleasant, but afterwards I just felt so awkward and uncomfortable. Even when he left this morning I couldn't handle it. Now it feels like it didn't happen, or it was some bizarre dream I had.
I've always had insecurities and hang-ups about sexual activity, but now after having done something, I don't know how to feel. I felt like I was in autopilot, or out of my body.

He wasn't a bad partner at all, he wasn't 10/10 perfect stud or anything, but he was sweet and nice on the date and I felt comfortable enough to allow access to my body, which is already incredibly unusual for me.
>>193677He knew this was my first time. He would ask if I felt like stopping and respected whatever I told him, yes or no. We tried about three times through the night and even though he came, I never was able to get off.
I just feel so broken. I mentioned this to a friend and they pulled the "maybe you're asexual" thing and I hate that idea. That's such Tumblr bullshit. I've masturbated before and even if it is a bit lackluster, I think I just have a hormonal imbalance or something with my psychology wrong with me.

Went on a tinder date and that guy was a jerk. He would only talk about himself. I was too nice to him from the beginning because I kind of felt bad that he drove like 45 minutes or so to meet me.
The moment he started to make out it was super akward but not too bad and he drove us to a park or so, so I couldn't just leave.
Anyways he ended up bringing me home and wanted to make out more in the car since I told him that he can't come inside.
He seriously tried to have sex in his fucking car in my neighbourhood.
I told him not that we aren't going to havr sex (virgin-chan here so I ain't doing that with a stranger the first time)
Gave him a handjob (first time doing it)
Felt super uncomfortable the whole time and I couldn't say no because he was such a push over.
Anyways still regret it to this day.

Sex-anon update.
He called me last night to check up on me and make sure that I was OK. That was nice but I found it difficult to talk to him. He texted me after he got off work late that night and I didn't get back to him til this morning and nothing. I'm worried that he thinks I hate him or that he'll leave me. But the thing is, I wonder if I subconsciously want that. I've always been obsessed with romance and was always boy-crazy, but never very sexual. I wasn't sexually abused but I was emotionally abused by my stepfather and it did escalate into physical abuse from time to time, I've also had issues with body image most of my life and have been on anti-depressants since before puberty, and I'm pretty sure that all of those things have led me to the problems with sex I have now.
I've always dreamed of some perfect romantic relationship, like a Disney prince, but I never really thought about sex. I always saw it as something I would do to keep my partner happy. So he wouldn't leave me because men want sex and you're supposed to give it to them or they'll find someone who will. Now after all that, after going on a pretty romantic date and feeling worse after, I wonder if after all that obsessing I should just stick to being alone, like that wasn't really what I wanted or that I'm confused.
At least I have my 2D husbandos, they can't touch me.

Earlier I made a bunch of alt-righters rustled because I told them to shut the fuck up about their anti-Mussie tirades and how they weren't planning to help the victims. I'd be pretty fucking angry if some assclown was using my tragedy as a platform for their political agendas.

I have horrible insomnia. People think I sleep too much. But the truth is that I'm usually in my room desperately trying to sleep to no avail. Then I'll fall asleep for like 15 hours and people go "How can you sleep so much?"
I'm not really sleeping that often. If only you knew…
I'm supposed to get a sleep study actually. Because I have something that's definitely wrong that the doctor is worried about. But I haven't managed to get the blood work done that they want. Because I'm so damn tired and it has to be done before 8am to test certain levels that occur after sleep. And I'm not sleeping. I have a rheumatology appointment at 5pm. I haven't slept. I tried. Nothing. I should have taken a benadryl. Stupid me.
So I have no choice but to either try to nap for a few hours or load myself up with coffee and ultram. Ultram makes it impossible for me to fall asleep. But it also launches me into the Kuiper Belt. Which is why I hate taking it.

>>193276Just wanted to update this because I feel like not doing so perpetuates some kind of female stereotype.
I
did in fact find out the reason. ILD-related events were happening and most of my girl friends were away at conventions. They were just busy, plus facebook algorithms suck and never show my posts to others until days later because I don't post often.
Said friends asked if I wanted to do a wine party at my place after unpacking, so there's that. So now I know I'm not a social leper as much as I thought.
Holy fuck anons, has it been stressful! When I left the apartment before I went on business, I had organized most things with the impression that bf just had a few more boxes to move and unload into the appropriate rooms. My parents were also meant to drop off hand-me-down furniture as well, so I made room for that.
I was swearing and cussing a storm the night before I left just to get a lot of shit done. My head was so backwards the next day that I forgot my wallet so I didn't have money for my entire trip, but I digress.
I got home yesterday night. The apartment looked like it belonged on an episode of Hoarders: Buried Alive. Bf never threw out trash or his old bachelor college dumpster furniture like I told him. My parents had come by to drop off furniture. Bf decided to just stack, and stack, and stack, and throw unboxed items (re: books, bags, trinkets) into every open space. Kitchen things were in the living room, living room things are in the dining room. Also there wasn't a clear footpath to anywhere!
I freaked the fuck out and had to rotate, pick up, and move a ton of shit just to get the living room area under control.
I concluded that all bf did was just plop all the shit to the floor and didn't touch it for two days. I got the living room floor clear within two hours of coming home.
There's still so much shit everywhere it's like an "I Spy" book. I was in such a flabbergasted daze that I set my car keys down and couldn't find them until hours later. This morning, bf couldn't remember where he put his keys either.

I didn't grow up on imageboards, so I didn't really understand its culture very well, or how robots, incels and men of that ilk thought and behaved. Lolcow was my first imageboard and i've been here for a year or so, and got to know how those people think through here. Also, I was never really a weeb and my interest in anime and anything related died when I was 13 or 14 (I only started reading manga again every once in a while a couple years ago, when I was 22).
anyways… all this intro just to say this: I guess I finally got over my ex, mostly because of this place, because I realized how ridiculous he actually was. It took me over a year. Looking back my whole story with him is hilarious and sad.
I was madly in love with him, and when he told me he was really big into animu waifus, pure smol azn girls, lolis, and was a secret degenerate I decided to put up with it because I was ~in love~. All those things made me very uncomfortable, but I tried not to care. Other red flags were all over the place, like him being a NEETish robot, but I was too ignorant to realize that his problems were deeper than they seemed. Now everything makes sense and the puzzle pieces match together perfectly. I think I really dodget a bullet there, and I've realized that many things he implied when we were together actually meant, and how many came from r9k, and would lead to problems in the future for us as a couple.
I remember many times when he said the Internet really ruined him, and blamed it for his sick thoughts. And he really struggled with his video game addiction, which caused a lot of stress not only for me, but also his parents who wanted to see him grow up for good. Too bad he was a cutie, but I know he's probably going to look fugly as he ages, and that the person I believed him to be was a facade. He left me during one of the hardest periods of my life, when we were both feeling really shitty, and I was taking a powerful antidepressant, and giving lithium a try. I guess that for the most part I feel really relieved now, I just wish I had known better back then so I'd have avoided getting into a serious relationship with him.

I'm a shut-in and live with my boyfriend. Because of my job I don't have to leave the house but my boyfriend works down the street. I spend almost all of my time alone, indoors, and online.
At first it was pretty nice. Everyone said how lucky I was to not have to leave the house.
But no, it sucks. I don't have any friends here. I don't have friends online either. Whenever I join in on a chat (even ones I frequent often) I just get ignored. After this going on for 2 years I only lurk and rarely post, which only furthers the issue, really. It's lonely.
Being isolated like this has taken a toll on my mental health as well. Thankfully I haven't started starving myself or cutting like years ago. I do have fantasizes about dying but keep telling myself I won't act on them this time.
After getting used to living like this going outside is actually scary. It makes me feel vulnerable, hated, and my heart starts racing. A therapist told me it's anxiety but I've never had it until now. Hell, even talking to mental health professionals and people I once vented to makes me feel like I'm going to faint.

I've completely lost interest in my boyfriend. The honeymoon phase is long over.
I guess what started it was he assumed I was ignoring him for no reason… I thought he was sleeping. Then he got mad at me and yelled at me and it resulted in me crying. Then he realized that he fucked up because I genuinely thought I was sleeping… I'm really bad at conveying my emotions when I'm under pressure like this. If I could go back to that night I'd express how offended I was that I'd think that ignoring someone for NO REASON or any reason was a logical response… Because I don't do that unless I'm incredibly overwhelmed. And there was no reason for me to do that.
And yes, I have not brought this up to him… I'm really bad at communicating… I know…
OT that relationship: I've had people assume I was ignoring them for really petty reasons. I have no idea why - I haven't ignored someone for shitty reasons since I was a kid.
I was struggling with one particular class this entire semester. Most of my classes are difficult for me but this class was so much harder for me with a lot of content that I could not get - the lectures weren't helping me. I spent a lot of days meeting with my professor for more help. And I wasn't seeing a lot of progress and I was starting to feel defeated.
As a result, I shut myself off from the world - blowing off basically everyone in favor of my academics because I did not want to royally fuck my GPA. Shutting off from the world is pretty inconsiderate. But I did not have the mental capacity to do things with other people and instead focused on single player games to de-stress. I didn't halt communication with anyone - I was still talking to my boyfriend daily as always. He asked me out to do things but I told him I really couldn't as I had to study. Eventually, I started playing a bit of League again because I kind of missed playing it. I just did ARAMs (a pretty unstressful gamemode) and my (male) friend (who loves ARAMs) asked if he could play. As Skype wasn't part of the equation I said sure and let him tag along. We didn't talk about anything personal - and we played a game or two at night for three nights in a row.
As my boyfriend doesn't like League and especially hates ARAMs I didn't want to invite him. Also, I didn't feel like talking to anyone over Skype, even him so that was a big part of it, admittedly.
So eventually he confronted me in a long message saying I was leaving him in the dust in favor of that male friend. My BF is really jealous and has confessed that he saw this guy as a threat. I always assured him that he would never compete (this is 100% true and still is). I vented in a long message about how the stress got to me and I was dying inside and just explained myself. He just went on and got even madder at me, even comparing me to his friend's girlfriend (who I've never met, and in hindsight this is a shitty move. I hope it doesn't poison our friendship if we ever have one). I was heartbroken and just ignored him because I felt like a huge failure.
The next day I stayed in bed and cried all day. Something I haven't done since I was a kid. I didn't even interact with my cat other than feeding her - she spent part of the day at my door mewing while I felt dead inside. I did not do anything productive all day, so this also affected my academics. I just had no energy to do anything at all. Barely drank, didn't eat… I even thought of continuing this like I used to as a way of punishing myself for fucking up. These are dark thoughts I haven't had for years.
Anyway we made up, he apologized, I promised to make more of an effort.. Which I did, I hung out with him more even though my anxiety was sky high over this class. It's over now which is pretty cool and all and we've been hanging out more, talking more. He's now on vacation with his family.
I'm enjoying the alone time so much. I guess this is what I was craving when I was stressed. I'm not into flirting/dating a lot of people but I think I'd rather be single. I don't think we have a spark anymore. We have a lot in common but nothing to talk about. I don't know if it's a rut (we've both been going through a lot of shit in our lives apart from each other)… I think I resent him for all of these fights because they took me back to a place I thought I'd never have to revisit.
I will probably break up with him next month some time after his vacation if things don't improve.

I'm so fucking freaked out.
I use Instagram. I don't post much but when I first made my Instagram a year ago I think I posted it on a fashion thread on 4chan because it used to be fashion themed. So people from there were following me and I was following them.
Fast forward to now. This guy that I follow/he follows me messages me from time to time to comment on my stories and whatnot. This guy has a ton of followers, and he runs a fashion type Instagram and he lives in Australia (I do not.)
He seems normal enough. Until one day he randomly starts sending me my own posts and telling me I look cute or hot or whatever, which was weird, but I said thank you and tried to act nice about it. He must have gotten comfortable from that point because afterwards, while we're having a conversation about health, he makes some comment like "Chances are I'm not too healthy with all the fucked up shit I've been doing to my body." So I was concerned and asked him what sort of things. And then he starts telling me about how he fists himself and scratches himself in the shower when his roommate's gone. I was honestly so freaked out but I just kind of made a passive comment about it and moved on from it.
The next day after we're done talking he sends me this video of himself doing some weird thing with his asshole and I just didn't respond. But he kept sending me messages and I tried to send a message across that I was just not into it and he should stop messaging me.
Throughout my time ignoring him, he tells me from time to time that he's into vomit/scat. And sexual messages about me involving shit and it was just fucking gross and confusing because I didn't give him any sort of indication that I liked it or was into it. To be honest, I was a little entertained because this guy was so fucking popular and he was telling me this weird shit about him having a scat fetish and vomit fetish yet everyone saw him as this normal dude and he had so many followers. I regret being too nice to this guy and looking at his messages at all, I should have blocked him right when it got weird. But I was in a hard place and I liked it when people talked to me so I just didn't.
I finally broke when I had made a post about how I had been watching this documentary about death and the internet and he sends me this message about how he's into snuff. He says something like "imagine defiling a body together." and I asked him if he would actually do something like that and he starts telling me that he "would do it to someone", and asking me if I was a "honeypot" and if I would put him "on my website" (whatever the fuck that means?)
I blocked him after that. I thought it was funny for a while until he started telling me about how he wants to kill people. I don't know why he involved me into it or found interest in me with how much I was ignoring him but I'm so spooked. He lives in Australia like I said and I don't so I don't know how and if I should report him. I could easily expose this guy and post his messages. He gave me his full name, Facebook, I found his roommate's Instagram, etc. But I'm too scared to get involved, and unblock him.

>>194792What the fuck? Christ, you've discovered a goldmine of milk, anon.
Anyway, what is it that you're scared of? He probably can't do anything to you even if you expose him. It'd be a bit mean to do since he opened himself up to you like that, but he pushed all that (literal) shit onto you and basically harassed you, so he has it coming. As for reporting, I don't think there's much you could report him for, since all he did was talk about his fucked up fantasies.

I never said that I planned on not calling her. She said she wanted me to call at least every 2 days and I said that's a bit much and once a week would be nicer, after which she got increasingly angry and started crying. I completely forgot about text messages in that mess, so that's a good advice.

So glad my partner isn't a hound, I don't feel like I have to fend off his dick 24/7, so that itself alleviates some of the anxiety.
LOL at anon telling you to use condoms. Try telling that to your partner when you're already on the pill. Actually, LOL at anybody who thinks that using condoms in an exclusive, long term relationship will be a suggestion that goes over well for more than a few rounds.
You could alternatively use spermicide or a sponge. I think that spermicide would work better in terms of application and maybe easing your mind a little. I don't know how much the morning after pill costs, but if you miss a day of BC and are frightful that "this is the moment" you could purchase it, or purchase a few morning after pills in advance. They are fucking 35 dollars where I live though (generic version) but I live in a city so that may be more of an option for you.
Godspeed, fearful anon.
No. 194973
>>194922It's not a good thing if it's ruining your life but honestly I think everyone else is too relaxed. I have friends who miss periods, miss a day of the pill, break condoms and don't even think twice about any of them.
I just get into a little routine that helps me feel better. I never wait around after sex, I go straight to the bathroom and either push it out or have a shower. I wipe the entire area to make sure there's no cum to be felt anymore. Spermicide or asking him to pull out might help you relax a little more too.
>>194970If you're having sex with someone who won't wear a condom then he's a massive cunt and you shouldn't entertain him any longer. No decent man I've ever met has ever had a problem with them (especially when the chance of pregnancy is involved) and the whole "they don't fit!" or "they're uncomfortable!" excuses are just memes.
I've been using only condoms for the past 4 years and my boyfriend has no problem with that because he knows it keeps me safe and he cares about my well-being more than a little bit of rubber. Went on the pill for a while and we stopped using them, neither of us felt any difference. It was pretty disappointing since we kept hearing that stupid meme that it ~feels much better~!

i have some form of mental illness, obviously undiagnosed thanks to my fucking mother who thinks these little breakdowns i have are just related to stress and missing my boyfriend. i mean, i normally would have these by myself in my bed but one lasted a fucknig week and she tells me that it's because COLLEGE IS STRESSING ME THE FUCK OUT AND BECAUSE I'M LOVESICK NOT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL HER SINCE SEVENTH GRADE THAT SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH ME.
on campus i would go see one of the counselors there since that's as close as i'll ever get to a therapist and honestly, it felt nice. during my week long downward spiral i had to rely on someone who wasn't my mom, which hurts because she's my mom and you would think that she'd want to help me. the killing thing is this fucking bitch has depression and and a fucking personality disorder and insomnia but she just dismisses my shit because, "oh that's life."
and i want to get better. i just don't know where to start. i nevr got to learn to drive, i literally just got behind the wheel for the first time about 4wks ago man, if i could go and get my own damn doctor i would. but i don't even have a job. this summer home is killing me, it feels so much like suffocating cuz i was away from her and able to be free.
i literally cannot express myself unless it's like this, indirect and anonymous because it's either, "you're fine you'll get over it," or she goes through my shit, reads my journals and humiliates me for FEELING. it's painful not ever being able to vent to people while fearing i'm gonna be fucking persecuted for it. i've been crying for hours now. i've even cut friends off because i knew it would happend again soon. idk idk i just needed this off my chest because i've been feeling tormented all summer but at the same time i just feel as though anything i feel isn't valid or it's fucking retarded. at times it really feels like she's controlling me down to my emotions, which i know is impossible. but it's like she doesn't want me to have anything, not even the ability to express how i feel, or get better.

i don't get out of the house much because there is nowhere to go unless i want to try my hand at walking down the highway-like road behind my house and risk getting hit (it's nearly happened before back in high school). the streets are too busy. if my mother wants to go out then it's the same shit. i mean how many times in your life can you go to the same 3 stores and do the same shit every time?
all my hobbies kill me. they make me feel even more dead because it's pathetic that i have to force myself to read or write or draw or just do anything. or even listen to music! there's alll these things i want to do, i dream about them but after waking up…who cares, my bed is somewhat comfortable and i won't have to face disappointment or the painfully boring, mundane same day as the last. it's always something in this fucking house. if im holed up in my room, minding my business i get bitched at. for fucks sake she bitched at my about not applying for jobs bUT SHE WOULDN'T LET ME APPLY TO THE ONES I WANTED! there's restrictions to my freedom it seems and it's so constricting.

my mom was obsessed with pets and i grew up in a house unreasonably full of pets. cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, a skunk, a racoon, a pot-bellied pig. we were poor and our house was too small for this many pets (some were definitely illegal e.g. the pig). i'll never forget the smells, the sounds, the constant presence of animals in my personal space from age 3 to adulthood.
i've recently moved in with my long term boyfriend, who loves animals and really wants a dog. i've begged him for two pet-free years and he agreed, but he always talks about the dog and other pets he's going to get when the two years are up.
i want to tell him how much it upsets me that i'm going to be sharing my space with an animal again in two years, but i don't want to force his hand since he'll definitely give in if i really want him to, plus i know my revulsion is irrational when it will just be one or two pets with a responsible owner in a decently sized place.

Going back at home after two years of living on your own is so fucking hard. Especially if you're poor with a dysfunctional family. I'm going crazy looking for a job here, but everything I come across are shitty jobs full time, 5/6 days a week for only 300 or 400 bucks per month. And there's no way in hell I could afford to move out with that.
My mother's verbal abusiveness is driving me crazy, I'm depressed because my hometown is a shithole and I have only a friend here because my circle of friends was in the city I lived in before. She's also in a relationship so she spends her time mostly with her bf. I can't see the end of it.
Also, an aunt of mine can't stop butting in my life, telling my mother that I should be a nurse, and her personality lacking self yells at me that "You should be a nurse!" even though:
a. Did you forget we're broke and that's at least five years of uni?
b. I actually have friends who are studying to become nurses and it's super hard to get into the business here, many nurses aren't paid for at least the first two years of "stage" and the demand is meager
c. I… don't want to be a nurse?
Now you would say, maybe she's lecturing me out of her wisdom.

>her argument is that clearly the whole thing has worked out according to plan for her, I'm a choice not a last resort
>weirdly this does appeal to reason.. I mean it would be worse if she was "used up" right? Like I guess I am a choice?
So major tl;dr, thankful for the opp. to vent anyway, just want to know your thoughts? No matter of pride came into this until the discussion about how the year went, it was all organic, I wasn't looking for it, sad or anything like that.
Which is why I'm weighing this up - can my pride sustain it is the question but I'm wondering how does this seem to others?

>>195166Move on, man. Maybe if you're truly meant to be you will reunify down the road, then let things be water under the bridge. For now, you have all these questions swirling around that can't totally be answered by starting the relationship again as if nothing happened.
I understand why you come to the assumptions you do, but it could be more about the fear that you settled so quickly and are fearful of "missing out". Shit is complicated. I feel like we are still selfish human beings. You weren't gravely ill or anything. It seems like maybe at least she was flighty. Growing up does all kinds of crazy ass shit to you, you wind up wondering what if so many times, and other times looking back and not feeling an ounce of regret for what was. Other times, not so much. It's confusing.
Sorry for rambling, but I think your reaction is normal but it's time to do you and move on. You are uncomfortable for how expendable partners are to her, and I totally feel that.
For real though, who cares about sex? So your gal wasn't a prude. If you aren't into that, though, or are worried about STDs or something, I get that.
Don't read /r9k/ anymore man, you are straying far from the path of non-rusty courting.

>>195166I think the question you should ask yourself is this: are you still crazy about her and feel that you will help each other grow if you continue your relationship, or do you just want to stay with her because it is familiar and you have a lot of history together?
When I was in my early twenties I decided for myself that I would not enter a relationship with anyone unless I felt certain that we were a good enough match to pretty much be together for life. Suffice to say the person I chose at 16 would not have had qualified. Enjoy your youth being single and carefree until you find someone you really want to commit to, when you do find them you'll know.

>>195166Have you guys mutually decided to break up because you want to experience sex with other people? Or was it someone who initiated the whole thing?
And why are you salty if it's a thing you both agreed on? You have made a decision, and now you regret it because she's doing better?
I don't know, to me it sounds more like she's hurt over the whole break up thing.

>>195166This reminds me of my situation, OP. Its not the same, but very similar to an extent. Not sure what type of advice I can give, probably none, but when I asked people for help I was given the same advice you've been given. Just move on. Will I take it? Dunno, probably not because I still like my ex and I was the one who broke up things because he was a huge neet during our time together, and I wanted to take our relationship to the next level. Sometimes i wonder if I just want him back because it's comfortable feelings wise, and because I feel very lonely.
Anyway, just wishing you the best of luck and I hope you can figure things out soon.

Its summer break, but theres still so many things I should be doing rn
Instead all my mental energy is being poured into improving my skin and losing weight\
Self care is important but I still feel guilty for not getting other things done, but I'm the kind of person who has a one-track mind so it can't be helped

I'm not asexual or repulsed by sexual things/the thought of sex, and porn/masturbation/talking about sex is fine with me. Part of my job can be sexual (but the job itself isn't sexual in the slightest, it's confusing) and so I don't find myself being uncomfortable with that. But I am just so hung up on the idea of having sex with someone that it's giving me irrational anxiety about it now being a situation I could easily opt into.
My friend sexually abused me at 14 - I don't know if abuse is right, but I was depressed and relied on that one person to keep me from killing myself and was told 'we're two girls, we have to try it eventually' and 'just pretend I'm someone else' and 'it'll make you feel better'. I think that contributes to my insecurities. I also don't think anyone should be able to see me…enjoying myself? Like during an orgasm? I think that because of that situation with my friend, I've seen actual sexual intercourse as a taboo thing so I think that people consider me 'not allowed' to enjoy it or something.
It's a weird situation and I'm aware that it's probably not coherently written either. I just have the opportunity for a few hookups with someone I like a lot and who likes me too, and I would obviously jump at the chance but I'm so confused about it all that it's making my head hurt to think about it. I know I like girls and guys and lean more towards girls - lesbian songs or music videos or Youtube videos or movies/TV shows make me feel like 'yes, that's me! That's what I wanna be like!' but I feel like it'll never happen because of the way I think about sex. Which is stupid. I feel somehow impure or dirty and don't want someone to see me in such a vulnerable position.
Pic completely unrelated, obviously.

I have really bad depression, not for one particular reason but lots of tiny things that become exaggerated into a big fog that just hangs over everything I do. I had counseling for a bit but I felt like I couldn't tell the counselor anything because of course even tho there is confidentiality I get paranoid that telling her lots the things that play a major role in my feelings (some of which involve drugs, alcohol etc) will end up being pursued further, so I stopped going bc it was kind of pointless. The only person I have to talk to right now is also my only friend (Seriously, I have no other people I have actual conversation with on a regular basis) and she's been really sweet listening to me and being 100% honest when giving me advice. I'm really glad to have her but also really scared that I'm going to lose her as friend bc the few times we've hung out it just ended in me crying. I feel like a massive idoit and like I'm just burdening her, especially after reading some of the replies in
>>195281 thread. No one wants to hang out with someone who just cries and ruins everything all the time but she's all I have it's so pathetic. ofc I listen to her when she has stuff to talk about too. She keeps telling me its ok and that she wants to help but I really feel like it won't be.
