I just bought a new phone. Literally, one day of usage.
I sneezed so hard my whole body jerked and the damned thing slipped from my hand. The screen shattered.

I don't know how much the repair is going to be, but I didn't even finish paying for it.

Fuck this.

I hope it's not too expensive, I really liked the phone.

I want to talk it with someone but … nobody seems to understand my situation in society, I want to talk about it in other forums but I was always worried about my bad English and since I can be anon here I think it is better… umm The thing is short but it is not simple for me, I am an Asexual and my parents only daughter, I am the goody two shoes everyone look upon in a traditional religious society, and yknow what they expect from me getting married and having children and so on… i tried to talk it with my mother she said "you gonna change" and "give your self time" i think nobody is gonna accept my identity, she thinks that i am gonna be a trouble for people when they pass away, but i just don't see myself as a lover or a mother i don't want to force myself upon someone who could be happier with somebody else… what should i do? change for them or not.

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.

copy pasted from the last thread bc I really need someone's perspective or im gonna go insane

You say lots of tiny things are causing your depression so if you're not going to find another counsellor soon maybe you could try to think about these things that contribute to your depression. What things are weighing you down and are they something that you can change or not? Try to focus on e.g. One thing you can change or affect like trying to do a certain activity x times a week and work your way through it. I can't come up with situated examples due to the lack of context.
A way to hopefully relieve some of your depressive symptoms by yourself could be by using CBT methods like in link related http://www.everydayhealth.com/hs/major-depression-living-well/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-techniques/

I'm sure your friend wants to be there for you anon, so I don't think you should worry more about over-sharing your problems perhaps use this worry with the CBT methods.

I do think you should consider finding another counsellor or therapist to talk to, though and try to find the courage to at some point acknowledge/explore the source of your feelings. alternatively, if you really don't want to dive deeply into your feelings surrounding your depression etc. You can try to combat your depression solely through cognitive therapy/methods that put less emphasis on emotions.

I am ugly and I know it but I'm too attractive to cry to my peers about it without people thinking I am annoying and fishing for compliments. When I tell my friends they say some cliche shit all friends tell their ugly friend. The guy I like would only want to have sex with me and he's made that apparent so I stay away. I haven't even been on a date in years and I don't think anyone even wants to date me, unless they are some fedora wielding cuck. Can't remember my last hug or kiss I had. Been so long that I have become socially awkward. Wish people could see me for my personality really. Sounds pathetic. Low-key High-key don't want to be alive because what's the point if no one wants you. Also Low-key High-key possibly Elliot Rodger.

Anon, have you tried writing in a diary? I know it may sound stupid but hear me out. Try writing things down, afterwards, rip the paper out or if you're using loose leaf leave it in tact. Now, fold the paper into a smaller size, as small as you can and carry it around you for the entire day. Before you go to sleep, take out the paper, re read what you wrote and burn it. This allows you to freely say what you want and allow yourself to physically see it become smaller and smaller. Keeping it close to you, your mind will begin to minimize the problem you've written down about and that once you burn the paper, it kind of gives the illusion that your problems or issues disappear. It's a weird thing but I did this once my life spirales out of control when my great uncle died and All the things I've kept hidden just started to pour out,making my emotions just become out of control, i couldn't even tell anybody until I did that. It showed me that I had control and with that mindset,I wasn't too ashamed or embarrassed to tell people what's wrong.

Sorry for droning on and on, Anon but I believe you need to find a way where you firmly have a grip on what's wrong and you won't feel it will go out of control.
And remember this, you're not making your friend help you. She's doing this out of her own free will because she cares about you and wants to help. If she did feel like you were doing that, I'm sure she wouldn't tell you her problems at all because she'll think that you'll only turn her problems all about you.

I know it's a really minor first-world problem compared to other things in these threads, but I'm a veggie (who never drank milk/liked cheese and only had dairy in things like chocolate) who's trying to go vegan but I'm already kind of fearing the future of my veganism. I'm on day 17 of 21 - 21 days to form a habit and all that - and I already just feel cleaner, healthier, and overall better despite my mental health issues, so I feel like I'll probably continue with it after my 21-day trial. But in a year I'll be taking a round-the-world trip to places with cultures where no meat with meals is unheard of. It would be difficult as a veggie but vegan would be a lot harder, and when I was just veggie I brushed it off like 'oh, I'll just go off it for a while, no biggie'. But since then my beliefs in animal cruelty and rights have become a lot firmer and I don't see myself ever not being vegetarian at the very least, so the idea of travelling and restricting what I can experience in these new cultures as a vegan doesn't sound thrilling.

I know I probably sound really whiny and I know that all cultural experiences don't revolve around food, but I'd hate to return from this one-in-a-lifetime trip and regret never tasting homemade national dishes from hosts or trying street food in Asia or something. The summer camp I'm helping out in in Russia has even said 'being vegetarian here is unknown; be prepared to eat a lot of potatoes and cucumber', and if my whole 6-month trip ends up that way I see myself going home early, to be honest. So I'm kinda stuck between having these experiences and sticking to my morals.

iktf anon. Best thing you can do is not think about it and if you do, just think about how good it is that you're attractive enough that you couldn't whine about being ugly like you mentioned, you could be a lot worse. No point in stressing over things you can't change. And you can always work to improve your body, do better makeup, or if you just really have one terrrrible feature and it's not just you having body image issues, plastic surgery is a thing.

I feel so bad for my nephew. He'll start crying when his parents start yelling at each other and one of them is just all, "settle down, you're fine." Like…it doesn't matter that he wasn't getting yelled at, seeing that kind of behavior when you're so young can just terrify you, especially when it's coming from your parents. Even if I step in and say something I always get some, "I DIDN'T START THIS!" bullshit.

My nephew spends so much time watching youtube videos and many of them are about families playing games together and it breaks my heart to know his parents barely do that kind of thing with him. It's summertime and he just spends his days staying inside and not playing with friends.

I'm admittedly a shitty aunt because I'm a hermit and not terribly fond of children, but I feel like I need to step up and be his friend or something or else he's going to grow up into a lonely, anxious mess like me.

So first off, let me just say congratulations on sticking with it for this long and making plans to stick with it in the future because planning is half the battle.

Not really sure exactly what you have planned but I'd stick to the big cities and avoid anywhere that doesn't have food that can be adapted to be vegan. There are plenty of cities worldwide known to be vegan friendly (London, Berlin, Helsinki, Tel Aviv, Singapore, Taipei, Chiang Mai…) and plan to include them on your trip. No use going to somewhere you know will be hard when you can make on easier on yourself.

If you're staying in places that have cooking facilities, use them! You're still going to get all the benefits of all the fresh, local fruit and veg. I'm sure a quick google search will give you all the vegan products available in whatever country you're in and there are barcode scanner apps if you're unsure.

Recently I made a map on Google Maps for somewhere I'm going to over the summer. You can put a star next to businesses and they'll show up on the map next time you open it (or if you're on a laptop/desktop you can categorise them by colour and little symbols like a pizza for an Italian restaurant or a bowl of rice for a Chinese restaurant) I've completely planned out every place I'm going to eat in, there will be no guessing or having to awkwardly ask for vegan options. Plus if you're hungry, you can just pull up the map and go to the nearest place for food. You can find out if a place has vegan options by liking some vegan groups in the area on fb, checking websites like Trip Advisor, pulling up the online menus for individual restaurants and just typing "vegan restaurants near _____" into Google Maps itself. There are plenty of Eastern religions that practise vegetarianism/veganism so veggie places near temples/churches should be common.

One thing I love about veganism is that the community is so friendly and helpful so if you join a few online groups and ask for traditional cuisine in the area they'll be more than happy to help you out. Hope you enjoy your trip, anon!

The problem I have is finding another job that will pay me what I make now without having some high status.
Where am I gonna make over 13$ at another place?????

I have a shitty house situation and I feel like I'll never get out of there.
It seems the people I live with can't get their life together and if me and my bf don't live there they'll lose the house.

My sister just graduated and is going to college. Always the better daughter doing hella after school shit and good grades. While I ditched class for Starbucks and stealing from target.

I feel like I'm foreve gonna be the girl working at a "fast food" joint. Living with her bfs parents for years.

Have you tried saving up to move out? Or to pay your way through a trade school or anything? I'm not sure where you live, but there's odd jobs near me that pay quite a lot for no degree (babysitting, dog walking, etc). Even a fast food joint bumps you up to $15/hr if you stay 6months+

If you and your bf want out of your shit town and living arrangements,you guys should start looking for jobs and places to stay elsewhere. Honestly fuck the people youre living with if they're holding you back. Look online for job postings and start living the life you want.

I've done my best, I recently bought a new car which drained me. Desperately needed it though.
So I'm back at square one.

I'm living in Florida in a small town, anything decent is about an hour out from me. Here there's tons of fast food places all starting st minimum wage.
The place I'm at is the best paying one though.

His struggle is being a manager at his store and unable to just up and leave. Though I have mentioned it several times. He feels obligated to make sure they'll have an AM and enough people hired. But realistically the people who apply are all horrible and we barely get new people in.

if I do odd jobs on the side do they truely pay good? I'm hesitant because of the people here.
But if it's worth the risk I'm desperate enough to take it.

No. 195646

It might be harder if your town is really that small, but doing odd jobs helped me out. I live in a smallish town in the midwest, but I took up babysitting on the side and it's helped a lot. I don't like kids, but people were willing to pay $20 an hour because they desperately needed someone to watch their kids since school is out and because they can't stand their own damn offspring.

I'm not sure what part of FL you live in, but I've seen postings for odd things there too that paid decently, usually only GED as a req. Things like tour guides for hotels or parks, watching over RV parks during the night,nannies, dog sitters/walkers, etc. I can't say it's enough to live off of because hours can vary, but it's pretty decent to do on the side when you need to save up extra money. Try browsing through postings near where you live on something like monster.com or indeed.com

I'm in a small town in Germany right now, and it should be easier than when I was in Berlin, but I'm even more afraid to go outside lol. I haven't eaten anything all day bc I freak out when I consider leaving my apartment. I'm doing an internship here, and today was my first day, but all of my interactions were so awkward that I immediately went home after I was done, and I've just been here since then.

As for food, maybe check out Lieferheld.de or Pizza.de, where you can just pick and prepay with PayPal online. You just have to open the door and take the food from them (sometimes sign that you got the food, but no big interaction needed).

After being single for two years, I just feel like I'm ruined on the idea of dating most guys. I feel like I'm attractive enough, but my preferences for guys is pretty specific (intellectual, sensitive, open-minded and at least a little bi, somewhat more progressive than me). On the other hand, I have NO interest in dating SJWs/special snowflakes, either.

I'm pretty sure this is the kind of guy I like the most, because I tried to have a relationship with a guy who was decent looking and somewhat similar, but I didn't really feel anything for him in the end.

I don't have a huge social circle who could introduce me to a guy like this. I'm also at a loss as to where to meet new people either. Also online dating has kind of been mediocre, and my city is filled with good old white boy bros who are nothing like my type.

So now I feel like I'm going to die alone. Or there's a good chance anyways. Hearing about all of the people who meet their SOs at parties is depressing for me.

I need to know what my fellow employees consider "going the extra mile" is when I know I do damn well more (and actively look for shit to do) than what the two people who reviewed me poorly on that do.

…which is the bad part about 'anonymous' employee reviews… because when you have x number of people rating you can you can pretty much line up who said what… and also when you've realized you're probably 'that coworker' people act nice to but really don't like because you gave everyone relatively nice reviews (either all +, maybe a couple +/- here and there, and a couple comments on here someone could improve) and you're sitting here with a majority of +/-, some +'s, and two -'s (for owning up to mistakes… which I'm on the fence about because I also received three +'s on that from other coworkers).

I've basically established I'm a piece of shit and need to improve a lot in terms of attitude. I've confided in another coworker about this who basically got the same reviews I did… which also sucks, because she tries hard as well.


(The most perplexing comment I received was along the lines of 'Anon focuses on the things she needs to get done and doesn't offer help to others unless she is interested in what they're doing'. Is it not a good thing that I finish what I need to get done before offering to help someone else with their stuff, if they even want my help? Why is it bad I want to complete one thing before moving on to another? And if anyone asks me for help with something, I drop whatever it is I'm doing and help them. I legitimately do not understand that comment at all and it pisses me off, especially since the only time someone asks me if I need help with anything is when I'm 95% done with whatever it is I'm doing.)


Mother fuck that was a vent. And this shit is stuff we were reviewed for a month ago and we're just now receiving notes over it. Do people still think this about me? Because I thought I had been getting better about legitimately everything that was listed as a problem area.

I used to love drawing but I dont have any motivation to and if I do it just comes out looking shit. I dont even have energy to watch netflix or play games. Whats makes me happy is just being around others but I cant do that when I only have one person (who now suddenly has a new boyfriend and has started ignoring me… makes me feel like everything she said was just bs so I would get of her back. This happens to me with every friendship ive had. Id bring it up with her but I bet she thinks im clingy and insane enough as it is, and Id rather have 1 friend than 0) and ofc we cant hang out just whenever i want to. People always say well just hang out by yourself but thats what I did today and it just made me feel worse, seeing everyone out having fun whilst im just wandering aimlessly. Fucking boring

> I don't think anyone even wants to date me, unless they are some fedora wielding cuck.
>don't want to be alive because what's the point if no one wants you

Translation: I'm upset because attractive wealthy males don't want me. There is a diverse range of guys who want you, but you don't want any of them.

Perhaps you have hit the wall, when females get older, roughly around 30 years old, their value to men drops sharply. Your value to men is almost entirely based on your youth, looks, chastity, and how traditionally feminine/submissive you are. (Men's value is almost entirely based on financial/social status, and looks/strength)

Lol at women being so stupid they think the same things that make men valuable, will make them more valuable.

Being a strong independent college-educated career-woman who makes a decent salary and has traveled the world, something that makes men very attractive to women, will make you LESS attractive to men.

These same women are thousands of times less valuable to men than an 18 year old unemployed virgin – something that would make a guy very unattractive, and a girl much more attractive.

Women are pathetically unaware of everything. I wonder if I should even bother trying to explain things like this to women, I honestly feel like talking to women about any high-level concept is like trying to explain something to a chimpanzee, or a very young child.(Domo arigato Mr Roboto)

What kind of job are you applying for and where are you? There are some really helpful guides if you google about but really the most useful thing you can do is look at the actual workplace yourself and assimilate
Prepare some answers to the expected questions like "why do you want to work for us" and also some questions of your own, such as what the interviewer enjoys most about the workplace, and practice saying them either to a friend or the mirror until it feels natural.

The store I work at received a complaint for being racist because it doesn't have an ethnic haircare section. We used to have one, but it was removed during a remodel because the products never sold. I wasn't there for the incident but a white woman was looking for coconut oil, but only wanted "the good stuff that actually works." If the customer spoke to a manager it would've ended quickly with one of us transferring the product or directing them to another store but they wound up contacting corporate about it. Their complaint was that our store was racist, our lice haircare products that they've spent hundreds on never work, and that they were going to get a new station to report about it.

Our manager was forced to apologize and give her a free giftcard. I'm surprised it was even taken so seriously because the email they sent looked like it was made by someone who couldn't read, but the most annoying thing is how far they went to get us in trouble when it was a problem that could have been solved easily.

I'm sick of my job and I was working a really inconvenient shift, so I wanted to just quit and find a new job. I was ready to put in my 2 weeks notice when I got a call from my boss, telling me he put in some extra effort to switch me to a better shift. I was glad but I still wanted to quit, so I told him I was on the fence about staying, so he recommended that I stay until August and then consider it again, because they just finished making the summer schedule and changing it now would be a clusterfuck. I agreed to that.
I feel bad for dropping that bomb after he made the effort to get me a better shift. But I was really looking forward to never going back there again, and during the phone call I could already feel that feeling of being trapped. Now I feel like I'm involuntarily working a job I hate. I hate it enough that I'd even be willing to go down to minimum wage just to do a different job. If I quit now though, even with a 2 weeks notice, I'm sure I'd be leaving on a bad note (with a bad rec following me), so I really am forced to continue through until August hating my life.

I will leave soon but I'm just pissed at them for not trying to fix it while I was here. I will leave with a bad aftertaste, feeling like I just lost a year of my life.
I know that this experience is still kinda helpful despite it being negative, but I still wish that I would have never ended up here in the first place.

I want to tell my friend I don't think she should marry this guy. As I write this I know I need to tell her, but she has a kid in the mix, and crazy traditional parents. I'm scared of crazy worst case scenarios where she breaks up with the guy instead of just postpones the wedding, or they get into a huge fight because of it and break up, or she gets upset at me for any reason, just so many bad worst case scenarios running through my head. It's not like this is out of the blue, she has vented to me about some of the stuff he's said and done, and at the end of the day, I think they can work out their problems, but I think they should wait more than 5 years to get married while they raise their kid.

on the flipside though, i am not completely understanding in how tax credits for marriage works, and i think it looks better when trying to get a loan if you're married.. also good credit but marriage I think can influence buying houses and getting juicy tax breaks.

what the fuck do i do and how should i do this without making it seem like forceful. Ultimately I will support her no matter what but I would be sad to be supporting their marriage as her first. I was more bummed when she said she was pregnant but she told me she planned it It was within a year of knowing this dude. If you want to have kids, that's awesome, but who knows what this guy is like, you barely get to know someone like that within a year, and then you essentially postpone your relationship with each other to raise a child. We're under 25. wHY god

I've just sort of given up on this life. I hardly complain in real life, I have work, I study, I somehow managed to have a stable relationship but I’m basically just going with the flow and waiting till my time in this earth is up.

I’m terrible at everything I do (and I’ve had many jobs), I’m sure the only reason my bosses keep me around it’s because I try really hard and have a good attitude; and speaking about work, I’m always stressed out because it takes everything I have to complete simple tasks that no one else seems to have issues with. I’m slow, I panic easily, and always feel out of place. I don’t have friends, hell I don’t even know how to make friends on the internet; it’s weird, I can talk to people, go out with them and all but it just never develops into a friendship, even my brother jokes that I was born with something off. I always dreamed of traveling the world but with what I earn I have only been able to save up enough money to visit a beach; I ended up going alone of course and it was incredibly boring. Because I live in a dangerous city I don’t use public transportation, I either drove or had a family member take me where I needed to be. 7 years ago I decided that it was time to start doing shit by myself, and for the 1st time I took the bus, well guess who was raped that very same day? now I’m fucking terrified of going out alone so for the past years my life has been school-work-home. I feel so hopeless about everything. I’ve tried, I’ve seriously tried to accomplish my goals, I was so full of dreams and thought that somehow I would be able to have a fulfilling life, but here I am, reading shit about other people not even because I want to make fun of them but because it’s the only way I get to ā€œliveā€. I don’t even have the guts to kill myself so I’m stuck here.

I pretty much flunked out of my first year of university and now I'll be living at home attending a community college. I've been telling friends and family that I wanted to move back because I was too homesick, which is part of the truth. No one knows I tanked so hard. I got super depressed and basically shut down. I mean, I joined a co-ed frat at the beginning of the fall semester and made a ton of friends but I just ended up slowly detaching myself from everyone and disappeared with little to no explanation.
In high school, I considered going to a CC instead of going straight to uni. I really only went to uni because I felt pressured to do so and I kinda regret it. I wasted so much time and money this past year because I was too much of a coward to do what I wanted to do. I ended up where I wanted to be, but I'm an entire year behind where I'm supposed to be.
Thankfully, I have a pretty good support system. My mom, my boyfriend and my friends all respect my choice to stay home. But I just can't help feeling like a complete failure. I don't know if the truth will ever surface.

One of my longest childhood friends went off her meds and completely flipped the fuck out on me because she found out I was uncomfortable about her being friends and fuck buddies with my rapist, and then publicly claimed I lied about it.
I was raped when I was 13, but no charges could be filed because it was all he said/she said by the time I finally told someone so I kept quiet…which means rumors spread like wildfire and I never addressed anything since I decided no one would believe me anyway and figured it would die down eventually, which it mostly did and only the fringe group of goth kids I hung out with ever speculated about it since the guy was part of their circle too.
My friend and I met in third grade, but lost touch when we ended up going to different middle schools until we ran into each other when we were 16 at the local "goth hangout" coffee shop in town. She hung out with my group a lot after that and eventually asked me about the guy because she liked him, but I didn't want to go into it and she didn't press. A few months later I moved to a new state and got into a much healthier state of mind, got therapy, and became comfortably independent when I moved out. We kept in touch on social media and saw each other when I would visit my hometown for holidays. I knew she had a lot of issues stemming from her own childhood and occasionally helped her through drama here and there, but because of the physical distance it was never a major impact on my life.
I got married and lived abroad for a time, and that's when she started to become a bit more clingy. She soon admitted, while high during a call, she had been fucking my rapist on and off since they'd met when we were 16. I told her it was her life and to just be careful, and she giggled and said she "believed 90% of" my story, but also kind of believed his side, and then deflected and changed the subject when I asked why she was bringing this up since it was over 10 years ago by now. I let it go at that moment, but it still bothered me a bit, especially when days later she was suddenly posting old pictures of them together on Facebook and tagging him in things. Eventually it became triggering and I decided to block her (only on Facebook, we still had contact via another social media site) until I was ready to talk to her about it since she was going through a stressful situation and I didn't want to make it worse by bringing it up. She noticed pretty quickly, though, and asked my husband about it since they were also friends.
Since my husband was at work when she texted, he gave her a brief but polite summary and she completely lost her shit. She started telling my husband that I was manipulating everyone I knew, that I sent someone to the psych ward by using black magic (lol wut), and then says we're welcome to contact her through a mutual friend when we're ready to apologize to her before blocking him. Husband screenshots it and sends it to me, mutual wtf commences, and we haven't spoken since.
It's been a few weeks and I've had a few mutual friends approach me, confused, because she made a vague status that "someone she's known since childhood" has been "maintaining a decade-old lie to protect their reputation." I've mostly given a brief summary of the situation and the friends, most of them having witnessed more of her freak outs in recent years than I have, are on my side, but the lengths she went to to try and paint me as this awful person just because something she said and was doing made me uncomfortable has stung me pretty deep. Nearly 10 years of helping her emotionally, and even financially in some cases, and suddenly she tries to completely defame me to our mutual friends, all because I was uncomfortable…It fuckin hurt, man.
I'm still bitter and angry and want to lash out, even though I know it won't do any good since, especially since everyone who knows about it already knows she's not mentally well, but fuck it made me so angry. Plus I'm legitimately happy with my life; I have a decent job I enjoy, a supportive family and husband, and, even though my closest friends live a bit away, I have a great network of people who care. I'm just trying not to be bitter about it and just accept she's legitimately sick.

Don't lash out, anon. It's hard to let go of toxic friendships but this is clearly what it is. Block her out of your life and move on. Trying to be friend with someone who condone (and fuck) your rapist is only going to make you feel bad. You have your shit together, you can be proud of it. Think about your own mental health first.

I quit my job at a local bar to start working at a high end restaurant. It was a hard decision because I absolutely adored my coworkers but the restaurant offered higher pay and I’m in desperate need of money right now, so I jumped. When I left I was on good terms with everyone and I visit them often because the bar is right next to my gym. We’re still really friendly with each other and I sometimes join them for drinks when they go out after work. But yesterday felt… Different. I know they were both tired but I can’t shake the feeling that they were annoyed with me. Most of the night they were cold and distant, not very open for conversation and mostly just stared blankly at me when I talked to them. I ended up sitting alone most of the night while they were talking amongst themselves or with other customers. I know that I don’t work there anymore so I can’t really ask of them to act like I’m still part of the team or whatever, and I’m the one bothering them at work so I have to respect the fact that they can’t pay attention to me all the time. But it did make me upset when I saw them smiling and laughing with other customers and I could barely get a ’hi’ from either of them when I walked in. It’s especially weird considering I was there just last week and everything was fine.
I just hope I haven’t said anything or done something that would make them so upset with me they’d immediately turn on me.
I’m torn between deciding if I should go back there and see if they’re still acting distant or just leave them alone for a while and see if they contact me.

I want to put up an order of protection against a family member but my mom is trying to talk me out of it since our landlord threatened to evict us if the police are called again. This family member constantly calls the police on us when he is going crazy so it's all his fault.
I've been doing research on this and there seems to be laws in place to help victims. I'm just worried if the shit landlord will actually try something. I honestly don't know what to do anymore the only other option it feels like is homelessness or suicide to get away from him.

Thanks anon.

I'm gonna vent again about this phone saga because

1- I bought a case online for it (it's a very unusual model, so it's really, really hard to find cases for it, even online) and it came with a big ass scratch in the middle. I'm not gonna return it though because I am afraid it may fall again, and even though it's scratched, it protects the phone well. But fuck, I really wish it wasn't scratched.

2- As I said, my phone model isn't very common. It's not a Samsung, nor a LG, nor Motorola, not even a Nokia, so I am having a real hard time finding techs that can repair it (online ones, since I am still sick)

I know this is "very first world problems" compared to what other people wrote here, but damn, it's making me really frustrated.

If you put a protective order against someone you live with, one of you would need to move out. You can even go to the landlord to break the lease contract and yes it cost money. Yes there's the victim compensation fund to help you but idk much about it. I know you can use it toward therapy too

Oh anon, don't be so hard on yourself. Hell, I barely know you but you seem very sweet. But what about going out in a place with less people. Such as a small hike on a mountain or somewhere in a higher elevation. Just a place that's very open and has very little people. The scenery may make you relaxed and it may even help influence some creativity in your mind?

ahh I know this isn't the best thing to say to others but I can't really word it in a better way. I actually have no friends on my own but from my own experience, I do those sort of activities and little walks and they always tend to make me feel a bit better. It also allows my passion for photography to be utilized whenever I do, so maybe it may do the same…?

As for your friend, I may be wrong or right but sometimes when people get into new relationships their bf/gf is technically the most important thing at the moment in their lives so they do tend to ignore others or place them as less important and that may be it…?

i'm five feet tall. i always thought i was at least like 5'2. but nope! i'm a fucking munchkin.

i wanna be skinny and tall like the people with good genetics. but theres nothing i can do. my body just sucks. i'm not overweight, but my legs are super short/awkward so i just feel like i look fat. like jill, if you check the jill thread, she's not really fat but she's so short that her body looks all chubby and fucking weird. my body is unfortunate like hers. looking at her old pics from when she was ana i get super anxious because she looked ten times better than she does now.

my friends/family tell me that i shouldn't lose weight because i look fine (i've already lost around 30 pounds) but i don't feel skinny yet.

i want the cute skinny legs and the skinny arms and all those things that taller girls have but my body just sucks. i want to be tall and skinny so badly ;-; but no matter how much weight i lose i don't look thin. i'm so frustrated anons. i'm not underweight but i secretly want to be. in my head, if that means i'll look cute then i want it… please do talk me out of this thoughts… i know i sound ridiculous, just venting.

I'm going to write about my experience to you, this is from my diary I got to keep in ED treatment center. This was 6 years ago when I was 17.
> I am currently getting treatment for an ED, everything feels like it's falling on me. All this fucking weight I lost and I still don't feel skinny enough. No matter how much I keep losing, I still look like I have a fat gut and thighs. My arms are so flabby it's not cute at all. I still have that cut from a month ago on my face. Gross.
> Im 5'0 and 68.5LBS currently. I still look short, chunky, and weirdly shaped. I'm still not happy with my body, but at this point it doesn't matter what I think because I'm literally dying. I lost control with my weight even though I told myself just to lose 10lbs, which was only 5lbs away from being underweight. Congratulations ( anon ), you are a failed skinny girl. The only clothes I can wear are big hoodies and my nieces 12 yo clothing. I can't work because I'm very weak and can't stand for long. I can't so anything, but lay down and feel cold. It's always cold. Every day I get horrible headaches and many heart palpitations, it feels like I'm near death. It's not worth it at all, please trust me ( anon ).
> I have severe anemia, so that's why I can't walk without breathing hard huh? My hair is also falling off a lot lately, that's scaring me eep. I don't even look cute anymore, I look like the troll under the bridge. Fucken ew!
> Three days ago my heart started to race so fast and I couldn't breathe. It was the scariest moment of my life. My lungs felt like they were being squeezed and my left arm started to cramp like crazy. Today I found out that I had a heart attack. I'm so scared I'm supposed to be calm, but I can't help it. I'm scared of dying. All I can do is cry these dry tears.
> I don't want to die I'm only 17. I want to graduate high school and go to college. I want to live so badly! I'm so tired of feeling sick all the time I just want to live normally. Why did I ever lie to myself that I was too fat. I'm so fuckin miserable here and the nurses treat me like I'm insane. I miss mom and dad. I miss everyone.

It took me years to grow out of the mentality that skinny is the best body. I work out 4 days out of the week now, I aim for muscle not flabby skinnyfat. I'm not afraid to gain weight anymore, quite the other way now. You are 5'0. You will never look skinny like a 5'11 woman. Aim for health especially if you are in 20s and educate yourself in nutrition. Lastly as cliche as it is, surround yourself with positivity. There is no need to cause your body stress for the mere illusion of ' feeling skinny '. That feeling will happen once and will addict you into losing more weight. From that mindset, you will do drastic things to seek it again, unfortunately you'll probably only find death.
Yes, I was in control of my weight when I was still passable underweight for one year, but once you start getting used to it you crave to lose more weight. The nitpicking will never end. Also whilst being underweight I developed mild anemia. You always feel tired and weak so say goodbye if you have a job that requires any movement.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I'm very tired of the pseudo-nihilistic edgy "meme" meirl culture that everyone from ages 9 to 30 seems to have ingrained onto themselves.
Everyone keeps posting about how depressed they are, how food is their only friend or how much they want to die and keep making "jokes" and "memes" out of it.
If you do not post watered down memes about how okay you are with dying and how miserable everything is around you but you don't care, it seems you are out of the loop. It drives me fucking mad how degrading mental health has become a joke that is absolutely normal.
I don't mind people who post online about being sad/having mental problems if they actually are having those things, but most of the people who post it do it "for the meme".

I do not mind memes at all, but i really miss when they just stayed on the internet. Now they are everywhere in real life too and you just cannot escape them.
Maybe it's the nostalgia goggles, but before this trend everyone did not mind being happy and showing it. Now if you are happy you have to hide it or mask it into a "haha i'm happy what a weird feeling not wanting to kill myself" kinda deal.

Not only it trivialises mental health, it normalises it and makes it seem that it's the norm. It just fucking tires me and want it to get over with or at least have it calm down a little.

Not only that, but also the whole "sassy" hoe shit that everyone seems to do alongside that. People just being mean for the sake of being mean, because they think it's "cool" and "omg queen" whenever an asshole treats everyone around them like crap they just found on their shoes. It's not cool, it's disgusting, being bitchy to people who are kind to you should never be the norm.

I just want people to be kind and unapologetically happy once again and get over these stupid self-hating bitchy trends.

Hey, thanks :) I dont really have areas like that around where I live, but I might take a day out to the forest and draw soon. The thing is I think a very social person but I dont really have anyone to be social with. Like if I had people to hang out with I would love to constantly be around them. Not even doing anything in particular, Id love to just be able to stay over at someones house for days just doing nothing. I think thats the best. Drawing in the forest is the type of thing I would to do alongside someone else. I do have 2 other people I talk to often but we arnt very close at all and hanging out with them can get kind of awkward. We dont really have all that much in common so I find it hard to warm up them I guess, but idk where to find people I would get along with. Ive tried the friend finder threads here and on cgl but to no avail.

As for that friend im honestly really happy for her, this new guy sounds amazing (her old bf was kind of a loser). It is making me low-key salty, but tbh I 100% understand and if I found someone who liked me as much as he seems to like her I would want to spend all my time with them too. I guess its the honey moon phase or whatever rn now ahaha.

I have a week long program for a uni im looking at in few weeks and im hoping to meet some like minded people then but I always hope that for these things and it never turns out but Ill just wait and see I guess. I met a girl who was in a similar situation to me and we had some stuff in common at one of these programs a few months ago and we added eachother on fb but nothing really came out of it, we talked brieflya few times but thats it which sucks. I have no idea how people build up strong friendships with people unless they are sort of 'forced' to hang out via school or work.

My summers are always shit like this, last summer I went out (as in like, hanging out with 'friends') about 4 times in 3 months. Its always like this but I guess Im the only one really who can do anything about it. I can try and find company in myself but at the end of the day I just way prefer being people im really comfortable with, which is why its lame to only know 1 person like that because obviously I cant be with her 24/7 lmao. Idk but Im just going to try harder this summer to have fun (I do say that every time tho lol)

i tiptoed around his feelings and how he wouldn't get a job for so long. then i realized i was being gaslighted about being "abusive" to him. i became so afraid of him, especially after he got physical with me, that i couldn't break up with him because i was so afraid of what he would do, like try to harass my friends and spread rumors about me publicly. i realized afterwards that i was the one being emotionally abused.

Hi anon, maybe you could look for some clubs around your campus or where you live if you're currently on break. Volunteer work could also be a possible way to meet new people and make more friends.
Other places to maybe met new people could be the gym or perhaps by taking a course on drawing/doing artsy things or cooking etc.

Just try thinking about similar activities to sekk out if those don't appeal to you, anon!

I shadowed at a bakery after having a good interview and it was a total shitshow with the manager. At the end of our interview she told me to come in to work a couple days after, and when I showed up she had forgotten I was supposed to be there!

Their registers also had an employee code system so if I had to ring customers out I had to get the other working employee, since I didn't have one yet. Instead of helping the two of us the manager ran into the backroom and fiddled on her phone until the assistant came in.

This is going to be very very long, and I doubt anyone will read it but I really just want to write it all out.
After overcoming a really really bad childhood, rape, sexual abuse, an eating disorder, and crippling misdiagnosed mental illness I was finally on a really good path, I was healthy and fit and able to focus on school and working hard. I have been vegan/raw/extremely healthy for years. I failed so many things so many times I wanted to put my all into really being successful and helping other people, so I decided to work toward nursing school. I was able to get into a really good school and complete one semester well enough, but I had seen several doctors about feeling tired and ill, losing focus, gaining weight, starting to dislike myself a lot. In my second semester I was (finally) diagnosed as Bipolar, and I thought it was great because I finally had an explanation for a lot of my behaviors, swings, and why normal treatment for depression didn't work for me. I was actually happy about the diagnosis. I thought it meant I had a solution and it would be easy and I would be able to continue on. I managed to make it through that semester okay, then I spent the whole summer crippled with fatigue and depression and the horror of trying out different medications with all sorts of side effects. I thought a lot of the time that it would be better if I died, even though I was successful in school so far my memory was getting worse and I wasn't able to recall a lot of important information, which is of course really bad for a medical profession. I somehow made it through the summer, and struggled even worse through the fall. I got by by cramming information and regurgitating but every day I was crippled with depression and tired and basically kept myself going by telling myself that this was my path and I was finally going to be successful. Nobody around me noticed that I was doing badly because my grades were somehow keeping up despite my worsening memory and focus and continued illness, weight gain, loss of self esteem. Finally, in January, what was supposed to be my last semester, I cracked and could no longer function. I started having anxiety attacks every single time I thought about school and how I wasn't ready to work, couldn't recall important information, and had completely failed in my own eyes. I thought about dying every day, I researched ways to die, I couldn't do anything except sit in bed thinking about how it was all over and I had no other choice but to die. I fell into a deep depression despite my meds and my doctor, in a desperate attempt to pull me out of what was essentially a depressive catatonic state, put me on seroquel. This kept me sedated and at least quelled the anxiety, but as a lot of people on these boards know (from reading threads on other bipolar cows) Seroquel is pretty much the devil. I started sleeping 15 hours a day and putting on even more weight, but at least I wasn't trapped in a coma of suicidal ideation (I assume was the doctors thinking). Now, several months later, I have finally got a new doctor who decided to actually listen to me about how bad I was feeling physically (and about the seroquel). How despite my healthy diet and lifestyle I had kept on gaining weight, feeling tired, watching myself lose my body and fitness and self esteem and focus and memory and success. They ran almost every single blood/urine/saliva test available. I have now been diagnosed with Hashimotos, PCOS, adrenal fatigue. The mental health clinic I went to specializes in brain scanning and they found patterns related to PTSD, most likely from my childhood that has never allowed my stress response system to operate and function properly. Even though I now have all these answers, I don't even know where to start or how to begin to process all of this. It feels like way too much for me to handle and I've started falling into that trap of thinking "How much does one person have to deal with?" All I really wanted was to overcome the problems I had earlier in life, be successful in school, and live a stupid, simple life. Now I'm looking at an autoimmune disease that has caused me to become obese, my continued struggle with bipolar disorder, PTSD to overcome, and 75% of a degree that I don't even know I want anymore. All of it honestly feels like too much. I've pushed myself for so long into the ground and now I'm sicker than ever.

They don't use that deck for anything besides hanging their washed laundry (also illegal and not allowed), but I'm sure that's why they're mad at me. Because when I swept all the dirt fell from the cracks and got on their wash.
Otherwise they don't care about mess and litter at all.

i'm a senior in HS and my whole HS life no one is ever able to do anything. i'm finally 18 but no one else is, so whats the point of going to clubs alone?
i feel like i missed out on so many 'memories' or whatever because people here would rather stay home and smoke weed than go out. or they have weirdly overprotective parents who won't even let them go downtown because they're afraid of sex trafficking (one of my friends can't go to the art museum without her parents because they don't want her to get kidnapped? lmao).
i get that its not their fault that their parents are overprotective but i wish i didn't have to do everything alone. like, i just saw metallica and iron maiden and it was amazing but i had to go alone because my friends wanted to stay home and smoke instead! and then they texted me saying they regret not going.

I agree with everything you wrote except the part about sweeping your shit into their yard. Get a bucket and put it in there next time. I mean, wouldn't you be pissed if someone swept a bunch of shit into your yard because they were too lazy to carry it downstairs? (I'm saying this as someone on the second floor who has to haul down the leaves and dirt and bird seed husks every time I sweep.) Plus, if you try to cooperate with them it will give you a chance to ask them for a favor as well. (I asked my downstairs neighbors to stop taking showers at the exact same time as me since they have like 50 children who all seem to need to shower at the exact moment I'm in there.. RAGE)

Did you happen to miss the part where I said I used to be ground level as well and dealt with people throwing plastics, wrappers, trash, toys. and other junk landing into my yard? Of course I know it's annoying, but dirt and seeds are easier swept into the grass than confronting neighbors. They're mad about their illegal wash getting dirty, and having to sweep like I did for the first two years I was here.

If I had considerate neighbors that I liked I would go out of my way like you, but I don't really care about them and put up with their inconsiderations all the time.

I was forced into a group of lazy Russian and Vietnamese exchange students and had to do a big project with them. Volunteered to be the leader in hopes of getting them to do anything at all, they gave no fucks and missed all deadlines or handed in nothing at all, constantly faking being 'sick' and making up bullshit excuses, showing up half an hour late for class, not speaking English in front of the group, etc. Now we got the final grades and they've lowered my GPA to just barely passable when it used to be really good, just because they're lazy rich kids who don't have to worry about working hard and putting in effort since their mommies and daddies will arrange for a good job for them straight out of college. The professor doesn't give a fuck and won't answer students' emails, I can't meet up with him because he's on summer holiday, and I won't be here next year because I'm graduating and moving back home (I'm currently studying abroad). I live in a poor shithole and these bastards have ruined my ONLY chance of landing a decent internship/job because I don't have any work experience (getting a job back home is impossible and nobody hires students, getting a job here is equally impossible because of my lack of work experience and being foreign).

I don't even understand the purpose of going to college if all you're going to do is party, talk shit about your classmates and get bad grades. Just go work as a waitress or something.

Can you go to your dean and contest the grade?
As long as you show proof of your own work and the other students' lack thereof, you should be able to get that grade from the class up to an acceptable level. Tell the administration that your professor did not answer emails and/or did not resolve the issue.

These entire situations are the fault of lazy professors. Group projects are easy to assign because it's up to the students to self-guide and get major aspects done themselves with, at best, a shitty project outline for instruction. No surprise that the same lazy ass professors also hate playing mitigators when their sloppily put-together groups sour.

I've had SO MANY shitty experiences with group projects from college. So I know the difference when a good professor facilitates group work and a bad professor who just needs to fill their lesson plan. ie. Making it so that part of the project grade is determined by how students rate each other's efforts, or having weekly assignments to turn in for group projects for each individual so that ensures proof of who's doing or not doing what.

I'm sorry you're experiencing that anon. I wish I could say it's uncommon and it will be better next time but…

I had a similar but opposite problem.
Trigger warning for TL;DR

I took an advanced feminist studies course, back before tumblr and SJWs were a thing.
I excelled in that class, so my professor thought it would be a good idea to stick me with older music/theater major girls who were struggling so I could work on the final project with them. It was supposed to be a group paper and media presentation.

These selfish bitches acted like complete slavedrivers towards me because they knew their shitty grades were on the line, but instead of giving themselves a gratuitous amount of work, they passed it off on me.
I remember this group so well because they're the ones who bullied me into signing up for facebook because they wanted to be all up in my shit 24 hours. They implied I was a "loser" for not having one.
And despite me being the youngest, I was the only one with a job and a responsibility to commute. They couldn't wrap their heads around why I couldn't make their 7am campus meeting after only texting me about it at 4am. Or why I couldn't just zip over to the library at random odd hours as if I lived on campus like them.
My relations with them soured fast because I wouldn't deal with their shit.
The self-appointed leader bulldyke in our group once sent a bitchy IM about how my word document with my draft paper wasn't showing up in messenger and barked at me to drive out to campus with a USB so she could frankenstein our essays together. I drove all the way to campus only for the smug bitch to say she had 'gotten' it but didn't bother to let me know before I arrived.
They played games like that. When I'd show up to these "SUPAH IMPORTANTZ GREWP MEETINGZ" they'd have nothing and would sit around and bullshit over their Starbucks. Later on they wondered why I thought the meetings were a waste of time and didn't care if I missed them.

Next, they demanded all sorts of impossible personal deadlines for my portion (they never had deadlines for themselves…), and demanded I contribute my idea of a detailed wall scroll, with a century of events and pictures, as another media because the "music mashup" they were claiming they worked "so hard" on every night was going to be a failure piece of shit. They needed me to have a media to save their grades (though they didn't admit this).

Basically I wasn't caving to their demands about pace and they grew paranoid.
I had a job and other classes with other projects, I didn't have time to meet with them everyday.
They threatened that they had been in contact with the professor, because I was just oh so lazy and not meeting their deadlines that they arbitrarily decided!

Day of presentation: My group gave me the stink eye and distanced themselves from me as we go to stand to present our crap. Their papers sucked, and the "music mashup" made no god damn sense and wasn't academic whatsoever. They literally took lyric clips from their favorite "feminist musicians" and made a Youtube mix. I shit you not. This thing they had "busted their asses" on was something that a 13 year old today could make in under an hour! The class thought it was stupid, and those girls had a confusing presentation of explaining how the fuck that noise was even relevant or intelligent.

I bust out my 20 foot wall scroll that I had worked on. People were impressed, and I think moreso because it was obvious, that based on my presenting it, that I had done it on my own.
The professor gave me an A for that class, so I assume whatever lies and bullshit those girls whined to the professor about, the professor didn't believe it. Why would the professor have believed it? They were the ones with the shitty grades and late assignment issues!

Cute sidenote :The other bitch was too lazy to turn in her own library books, so partway through the project she slipped them off on me even though they were useless to me. I asked her everyday in class when she was going to take the library books back from me, but she'd always say 'soon,' and towards the end would pretend to ignore me. She never did it.
I forgot about the books because they weren't my responsibility. I should have tossed them in the garbage, but they stayed in my car. Months pass after the presentation. Suddenly I got a really angry IM from her about overdue book fees and her demanding I give her the money (a whopping $15) and deliver it to her music mailbox. Lmao, maybe that's what you get for not making sure you turn in your books, bitch? So I left her $15 in pennies because my job was a cashier, it was no problem.
She threw some sperglord tantrum about it that I had a hardy kek over because there was seriously nothing she could do about it. I didn't feel sorry for her, I didn't feel sorry for any of those bitches.

I know that the whole 'depression is cool' meme has been going on for ages but recently it started getting to me when my friends started doing it.

I used to have the entire depression/suicidal/anxiety package when I was in my mid-teenage years which messed me up a bit. My family did not believe in my illness which caused me to suffer with it for longer than necessary even causing me to attempt suicide twice. In fact by the time I did get diagnosed with it I had learned how to kind of deal with it myself. I still have the odd anxiety attack but I can always get out of peoples way and go to a private place to hyperventilate and punch myself until I eventually calm down.

Recently one of my closer friends (who is aware of my freak-outs) started dealing with his depression by getting the right help and all that jazz. But the thing is he does not shut up about it. Like its ok to talk about your feelings but that is all that he talks about now.
My boyfriend and I went out for drinks the other day and invited him and his friend from college to come down too. As soon as they sat down all that came out their mouths was just shit about how they wanted to kill themselves and how funny that was.

Then they stared pulling out their pills and showing them off like fucking pokemon cards and bragging about how they were not supposed to drink with them but they were going to anyway, at that point I felt really panicky. The third friend then appeared and started giving everyone 'depression hugs' because he also has depression (lol depression is fun!). I can't really explain it but it was like I was living a nightmare, they just kept talking about their psychiatrists and how great their parents are but how they are really not helping because they do not understand their suffering.
I was told that I am a part of my friends 'support network' (whatever the fuck that is), I didn't even say anything as at that point I was not trusting myself to speak to them at all.
I went to leave but they tried to stop me and get me to drink more (at that point all three where grossly drunk), thankfully my boyfriend who is aware of my insanity used his bulk to squeeze past them and get me home to safety before I turned into a wailing banshee.

Just fuck like I dont even know where I was going with this but I just feel like I am being dragged into something I feel really uncomfortable about and no one cares because I'm supposed to be the 'mom' friend and put up with everyone's bs 24/7. My friend has never been like this but he has become so self-centered that I do now want to see him anymore. I'm just really confused and scared.

I'm sorry, but the US election brought this out the worst in my friends and with strangers.
Overnight, I was suddenly not extreme or 'convicted' enough for my friends because I didn't vote for their demagogues Trump/Clinton. If I didn't agree with them 100% on issues, then I must be 100% against them on the issues.
I had to 'defriend' this one arrogant ass bitch from my social media because I wouldn't take her single Youtube video she posted as gospel as to why I should've voted a certain way, so she proceeded to call me ignorant despite her just being a dippy fashion blogger and me having an actual degree in poli sci.
It's all or fucking nothing now.

Yesterday my swedefag ass was walking through my really small shitty home town to celebrate midsummer with my parents at their house. I was wearing a white mid-thigh length dress with black lace tights and a leather jacket which I suppose the inbreds having lunch outside a restaurant found sexy or whatever because they whistled at me from across the road. I was not at all prepared and just wanted to get from point A to point B and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable and self-conscious the rest of the way. Arriving at my parents' I told them about it and was met with them basically agreeing on that I should be happy about the attention, to which I replied that no, it did not make me happy, it made me feel uncomfortable and that I nearly fucking cried because of it, and explaining this I became visibly upset with my voice shaking and everything. This prompted my mother to roll her eyes at me and give my father a look conveying something like "can you believe this ridiculous daughter of ours" and they both laughed it off. I didn't expect to get so emotional about it and went inside to try and regain my composure. I was in the bathroom drying my eyes trying to calm down and shake it off when my dad walked in to the kitchen and proceeded to try to make small talk from in there, then he asked if I wanted a beer before walking out again. I'm sad as fuck having been ridiculed and made fun of by my own parents for being upset but finally was calm enough to act like a normal adult so I grab the beer from the kitchen and join them outside. My mother tries to smooth things over by saying I look nice and then started talking about the weather and that was it.

It wasn't really that big of a deal but like, this is how they have always been with my sister and I when it comes to dealing with feelings. I'm 28 now and have developed a great relationship with them in all other aspects since moving back here a few years ago (I moved away for school at 17 and have lived in a couple different places since then), but it makes me really sad and a bit angry that they've always been so shit at offering emotional support.

Growing up I was always well fed and our house was always clean, but I can't for the life of me remember ever being comforted or feeling that my feelings were valid. The only exception that comes to mind is the time when I was 9 and had chipped a tooth and my mother had me snuggled up against her on the couch and was hugging me while we watched TV, and the thing I remember most about it is that at the time I felt that it was an unusually tender display of caring.

When I started self-harming at the age of 13 as a result of me never learning how to properly deal with my emotions my mother's way of showing concern was to yell at me about it. Pretty much every concern she ever had about me while I was growing up she showed as anger. When in arguments with my dad he would insinuate that I was stupid instead of trying to understand my point of view. I was praised for doing well in school but was met with nothing but frustration whenever i struggled with other aspects of being a teenager. Any situation resulting in me being upset was never talked out afterwards, no apologies were ever given and my self-esteem has always been shit because of it.

As I got older my mental health-issues got worse and I had a hard time keeping up with school and ended up failing most of my classes senior year. Because of my low self-esteem and messing everything up so bad I saw myself as nothing but a failure and never pursued fixing my grades enough to get educated further and have a proper career. My parents never showed much interest in helping me figure things out and get back on some kind of track, I guess they figured that their responsibility ended once I was 18 and technically an adult and not living with them any more.

I know that they love me and as I've grown older I've come to understand that they did the best that they could, but the lack of emotional support really fucked me up. I'm doing all right now and have worked out a lot of my emotional issues over the years with the help of my bf, but I'm still quite the mess of a person and sometimes I wonder what my life could have been like if I had grown up with more supporting parents.

I'm really involved in my city's queer/drag scene which is the most accepting and lovely group of people I've ever known and has helped me get through pretty shit times. I'm not super super far-left but I'd probably be classed as an SJW because I do think that gender is fluid and that non-binary/agender people are legit, etc. I believed this even before getting into the scene but seeing how much happier these people are knowing that they're free to do whatever they want with their identities and fashion and makeup made me feel much more comfortable with accepting myself and my own life. I just wish that it wasn't seen as an exclusively SJW/tumblr thing because the people I know have thought this way for much longer than the fucking tumblrites have been yelling 'down with cis' and insisting that people use deer/deerself pronouns (and yes, I think both of those two things are absolute bullshit, I'm not that bad). I ended up where Ghandi is on that political alignment test (centre-left), but even just thinking differently about gender/sexuality gets me branded as an SJW, apparently.

I hate her and I hate when she yells and screams at one year old child. I hate her husband for supporting her and enabling her bullshit. Yes I am mad.

Bf has been on a God of War gaming streak using the main big tv in our 1 bed apartment and it's kind of boring/annoying at this point. We both work a lot so our main mixing hours are late at night, and while I don't mind him playing vidya and me watching on from my laptop, I wish he'd pick something different.
I wish he could have started any other kind of vidya marathon, I hate this video game so god damn much now whereas before I tolerated the Powder lookin' fuck in the loincloth.
It's mostly just a bunch of button mashing, obnoxious noises/meta narration, and watching him fight the same bosses over and over again bc of course he had to set the difficulty as high as possible. It doesn't even look like he's having fun most of the time…

I have really shit mental health and being a loser neet shut in only makes the loneliness and lack of social skills so much more intense. Whenever I go out somewhere everything is too much, I feel dizzy and tired and I feel like I need to vomit or lay down for a while. I've only been home for a month after uni let out for summer, but I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm scared that when university starts back up again I'm going to have a massive break down on my first day back because of all the people I'm going to be around.

It's been not long since I graduated uni and I just feel like a failure. Rejected from programs/internships I wanted to do or still waiting to hear back from full-time jobs I can bear to have but I'm still working my shitty retail job.
But here I am being a POS by not starting an application for an international program earlier as I just now found more detailed instructions that include more things I thought it would and it's likely too late. I sent the link to my mom and was planning on asking for her help looking through the directions and she just goes "what you didn't start this crap earlier?"

All of this I guess has compounded as I couldn't take my antidepressants for over a week and suffered side effects so I just feel like the lowest I was before getting help. I already want to go to grad school but I don't know what I want to do.

Back when I went to college I had this really cute tomboy lesbian in my class, who always had nice girlfriends, who was always well dresses and which I liked A LOT. It was maybe the first girl I had a quite big crush on. BUT then at some point she came out as Trans. So I experienced the last months of college when she went on T, how she changed her name and so on. After I graduated I wasn't in touch with her or anybody from college.

It's been about two years and from time to time I had still dreams about her bc she was pretty much what I find cute about tomboy girls.

Anyways, just right now I checked on her and after all she is obviously a transdude now and it's still a nice person but not what I liked so much and idk it makes me sad for some dumb reasons welp.

I don't have an income, something I don't really want to get into, but the person paying has an eviction so its been hard to find a place to rent, and then the costs of moving into a place are to much, and we cant save money, because the hotel is to expensive. Its pretty much just an endless cycle. we've exhausted all of our resources, tried moving out of the hotel with friends and family to save money, and in the end we just can't seem to save anything and the people we have stayed with aren't that great so we get kicked after a few weeks.

Hey anon, try going to WIC (Women, infants, children) and seeing what they can do for you, especially since you're pregnant. There's so many resources for women specifically, if you're struggling with near homelessness. Definitely look into it and ask questions on subreddits or Google for mothers in your exact situation. People want to help you.

Also, regardless if you're religious or not, churches can be really helpful and tend to do a lot of work locally with people down on their income or even homeless. If they cannot directly help you, they almost always have connections.

I feel you anon, got hired at Mcdonalds last year (was my first job!) and their training was awful, they just toss you in and expect you to figure it out, I cringe looking back on all the awkward interactions I had kek. I mean sometimes my co workers would try to help but most of the time they were too busy doing their own thing. To this day I'm still angry and appalled at how stupid and mean customers can be, people are horrible.

Gonna vent about my time there;
The shit talking there from my co workers was probably the worst though, they would openly criticize the shift manager when she wasn't there and complain about not getting enough hours, and would low-key talk shit about me as well. It wasn't a very good work environment (as you'd expect) but the one thing that'd made it super awful was one of the managers there, who was literally Satan. He was the goddamn worst, just the kind of person that gets off on the power trip and loves to make you look stupid. I came home crying twice because of him, whenever I'd see him my heart would sink. After I quit I used to get nightmares about him and that I was still working there, it affected me quite severely. It was nice to know that no one else liked him either, they even brought it up to my boss but it looks like he didn't care enough to actually fire the asshole.

There was also a handful of co-workers that I wouldn't hesitate to push into the hot oil fryer, two of them were my age; a guy who had a dumb undercut that was promoted to manager and the other was a fake as fuck girl. At one point, both of them were on fries for some reason, and I was on drive-thru handing out food
>one of them had forgotten an order of fries so I had to ask them to give me another one
>Girl didn't hear me after I repeated it twice and she got frustrated quickly and went behind undercut manager guy and in a low voice "i can't fucking understand her ugh/mumbling to him".
>He says also in a low voice that I can still hear,"Gotta keep the aces in their places" then asks me to go to the back drive thru a.k.a the hot place with no fan where they put people they don't want around in to work.
I basically got sent back there for nothing, it wasn't even my fault that THEY forgot an order of fries, I was only there to give out the food.
The whole situation was stupid and he handled it so poorly, same with another time when this mentaly ill man came in and started picking the lose change off the counter (it was change another co worker found in the lobby)
>I was cleaning trays and undercut guy was at the counter awkwardly telling him not to do that
>he then notices me standing there and tells me "hey anon can you handle this?" then leaves me there with the man.
>I let the guy have the change since I didn't have the energy to deal with that and wanted him to leave.
I was uncomfortable since the man was big, mentally ill , and hard to understand but it bothered me more that my co-worker decided he didn't want to deal with it and just dumped it on me while he goes to chat it up with my other co-workers.

Now I'm just hoping that the jobs I apply for don't end up like that experience, I hate people so much jesus christ

3 months ago I got fired from I job I really enjoyed for being absent too much, I got sick alot since it was Winter. During that time, my boss did not like heat cause he and his brothers are fat fucks. I got let over the phone and I just cried and cried. My whole life I was rejected by my own parents, family, teachers, people who I thought were my friends. I just couldn't take it. It just brought back all of those feelings back again.

It hurt even more that a few months prior I was staying at my best friend's house for 2 months and his mom fucked me. We agree that rent would be $100 (I've known him and his family for 7 years and we were close at the time) at the end when it was time for me to go she threw a 1.5k "bill" at me and I was so bewildered, hurt and betrayed. She never said anything about changing the rent/conditions with me, she said "Anon. I told you". In her alchoholic ass mind she thinks saying "I can't take this" equates to "your rent is now 1.5k" the room was dirty before I moved in and she wanted me to clean it like how it was before lol. I had literally no money and I still have debt to pay off, I had to borrow money from my mother, who I am grateful for to pay her back so I could leave. Despite struggle financially I still paid her because of the respect and friendship I have with my friend, she got 1.2k from me and she's been asking for the rest and I won't be paying it. I should had fucking done this earlier, I will never forgive her for betraying me like that. I loved her as if she was my own mother. I use to send her cards and gifts for mother's day and her birthday. I was so hurt and crush..

I'm trying to get back on my feet but it's been tough. I spend most of my days in bed, I don't contact my friends anymore as they indulge in shit like drugs and the party/club scene. I feel alone because I can't talk to anyone, sometimes I feel like I can't speak to my SO about my depression. I felt strong before, nothing got in my way and I feel like I lost that. Sometimes my SO would critisize me saying that maybe I never had that headstrong attitude to begin with. He makes it seem like I was lying to myself and everyone. He just recently netted a job with a top finance company and I am jobless and depressed. He tells me that he feels like I'm just sulking behind him and it makes me feel like other shit. It makes me feel like he doesn't think of me as an equal. Again I can't talk to him about this because he will say something like read the self help books, go find a job, go work out. I have no motivation to help myself and just alone..

you are completely wrong. All normal men would prefer the girl be a virgin. Obviously it's not an absolute thing but to say it's anything less than idk.. 96% or something would be insane. The only guys who legitimately don't feel that way about it are the ones who just want to fuck and might find it inconvenient if the girl were a virgin. And even then more of those types of guys prefer virgins because they would still rather be the girl's first. Being serious enough to not be used by one or more of the horde of men looking to deflower girls just for the sake of it, being free of STD's, and not having previous partners that would be compared to them, is an attractive thing to men looking for a partner for life.

Strongly disagree. Lots of people love the idea of being their partners firsts. I'd wager a significant number of women like that idea too. There are of course those who avoid virgins because they don't want to go through the learning process but I believe those are the minority.

This really depends on the individuals and virginity means nothing to some people, regardless of gender. A lot of people are doe-eyed with virginity. They wanting perfect virgin mates have religious backgrounds or have some ideal vision of being someone's one and only. Yeah, it's a fetish to some, but wanting a virgin isn't just because of a single thing.

Most well-adjusted people will just take a person due to actually liking them, not if they have a v-card still. Go for those reasonable types and if you happen to be a virgin, just be honest. It's seriously not a big deal and if someone makes it a big deal, consider it your big red flag.

I hate this new meme that not dating a certain race is a preference. I'm not a sjw and I don't care who people date but I really don't get why people don't consider it racist. If a person will exclude dating a whole group of people because of their race I consider it racist. If a person isn't even willing to consider getting to know a person only because of their race thats questionable imo. And it pisses me off how people ignore how society and the media dictates their "preferences", it's obvious because everyone generally has the same racial preferences and they like/dislike the same races.

Well, usually they mean it in the "ew niggers way". If people say they prefer one race but are open to another if they mesh well I can understand that. I understand that there are just a lot of cultural, social and family reasons etc why people prefer dating certain races.

Most people do find many people of races they "don't like" attractive, they just assume they wouldn't be attracted to those races because they have a stereotype in their head of what a person looks and acts like. I have had plenty of men tell me they're shocked that I'm cute/not smelly because I'm Indian and they wouldn't date Indian girls. I have had plenty of men reject me before seeing what I look like only because I said I'm Indian. They're just assuming I'd be ugly/smelly because I'm Indian.

Shes 2 years younger than me, that sucks. But she looks older than me and is fat (normal flabby skinnyfat). Her make up skills are gross; she looks like a cakey clown. Blue eyeshadow and winged eyeliner and sharpie eyebrows. She also is an obvious fake ginger. She shows off her ugly af nail design. She lost her bff because of nasty reasons. Obviously she isnt the smartest, but everyone likes her because she is so easy to handle. And i wont tell how yellow her teeth are…
What sucks the most is that this ugly little gnome has a carrer and i dont.
I wish i could just let her go.

I know this feel, but I'm black. Pretty much all of those people turned out to actually be ugly or mentally fucked up in some way, though, so it was no big deal. Some of the ones that did end up seeing me usually reeled back and tried to find out whether I was mixed race or made shitty comments about me being an "exception" or something, which was really dumb and annoying, too.

From what you say I assume you're talking about people on dating sites? You have a point about the Indian stereotype, but those men sound actually racist (since they assume than Indian people are ugly and smelly, and those are straight out insults); while expressing a preference is not equivalent to insulting. For example, generally I'm not sexually attracted to black men, but I don't use inflammatory terms to describe them, nor do I avoid them or reject them as friends. THAT would be racist. But physical attraction is not.

You can't force people to have sex with you; that's called rape kek. Some people don't date fat girls, some don't date skinny girls, some don't date blondes, some don't date goths, some don't date normies. You're not entitled to the desire of others. I know many caucasian guys who specifically like a certain ethnic minority and don't like their own race, that's just how it is and they are entitled to like what they want and be in control of what they wish to date as are you.
I'm Arab and my preference is Asian and Caucasian. I am not attracted to other Arabs or Indians, I also don't mix well with their strict culture so stay away (even if they are westernised, if it's long term their family becomes my family). Call it what you want but it is what it is and I like what I like. And if someone didn't find me attractive because I am Arab, so what, I'll get over it as so should you.

The most frustrating part is, that I know I'm awesome and I've always had a bunch of people around me. I've got fucking poems written about me from my old friends and friends from different countries. But these days I've become a anxious chickenshit who just bakes cookies to everyone and doesn't have any opinions of her own, because I just want everyone to like me.

I fucking hate my coworker. I have to prep his paperwork for him to take to his jobs and he never believes me on anything.

Last week I passed him the work forms to complete and told him that he'd gotten the city wrong, it wasn't X city, it was Y city. He absolutely refused to believe me, the customer who requested the work, google maps, AND our boss and called the customer to confirm I was wrong.
Surprise, I wasn't.

This is the 5th time this has happened, at least once a month he calls behind my back to my boss to insist I've gotten something wrong when I haven't. I've been doing this shit for 4 years, fuckwad, you've been here half a year. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

That and literally all he does when he comes into the office is talk about how he purposely pisses off his wife and thinks it's hilarious, brags about driving a motorcycle, and this, that or the next family member being in gangs. He's in his late 40s for fuck sake.

You always have deniability because it's anonymous, anon.
It happened to me once on cgl. This spoilt psycho bitch I was telling a story about always railed against 4chan for being ~bullies~ yet apparently she was obsessively checking every thread everyday. So she replies to my post freaking the fuck out demanding to reveal my identity because she knew it was about her. Suddenly on her fb she posts a screencap of my post and was whining about it to her friends trying to get people to tell her what I said wasn't true.
So just to fuck with her, I posted in the thread pretending it was about someone else and what a massive tool she was for projecting the story to be about herself. Other people agreed and she got 10/10 tier ragey and started backpedaling. Anons made fun of her for getting upset. And of course she never figured I made it.

So change names, go vague on details, but ultimately you can always deny it.

I don't get the whole Heterosexual Pride Day thing. When has there been an iota of discrimination against heterosexual people? When has it not been a point of acceptance to be straight? It seems very tongue in cheek, so it's obviously not literal (hopefully) and probably just /pol/ trying to be "le ebic trole" on social media again, but even then, what's their underlying message? Are they (by "they" I mean the type of people who are always going on about how much they hate liberals or whatever) just deliberately trying to make themselves look bad now? Why?
Even now, LGBT people are being thrown in literal concentration camps, and instead of keeping that as high in the public eye as possible, there are seriously people who would rather do this immature bullshit. I just don't get it.

I relapsed into self harm to help relieve stress and I know logically that I should nip this at the bud; but emotionally I feel like that if I stop I'll just turn to another toxic behaviour like drinking. I tried healthier methods of stress relief like muscle relaxation, easing caffeine, taking naps, etc; but they don't give the same satisfaction that drinking and cutting does.

I didn't even know heterosexual pride day was a thing. But if it's anything like other contrarian groups, it sprung forth because a group of people felt excluded from the og pride day because it wasn't centered around them. So rather than just accepting that there are just some groups they can't be a part of, they made their own special little group to feel better about themselves.

I've been struggling to cope with depression since the latter half of elementary school (I'm now in my mid-twenties), and even though I was able to finish university and find a decent job, I feel like both my romantic and platonic relationships have suffered.

I have a close group of friends who I love, but I rarely respond to text messages and turn down plans frequently, which has left me alienated. I know it's completely my fault, but it still hurts. I'm going to be leaving the country next year and I think they're probably happy to be rid of me.

And in terms of men, I've never been able to be close to anyone. I always shut it down at even the slightest flirtation, even if I like them a lot, which is the most fucked up part. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never had any traumatizing experiences or suffered abuse, I'm able to be sexually aroused, but the reality of it is overwhelming.

I just feel like a complete fuck up.

I work in a private facility for addictions and mental health, have been there since last year.

Without going into too much detail my facility treats all ages pretty much, from around age 4 to adulthood. I work the most with teenagers. Our facility is supposed to be safe, impossible for them to harm themselves, or close to it.

But I found out today one of our kids killed themself the day before (Thursday) while I was not working. They hung themself. Nobody found them for 27 minutes, a head count was late/missed

Now I have no particular attachment to this particular teen. They were kinda really crappy, you couldn't help them, and whenever you tried they would snap out and be mean and would not open up no matter what. Many tried so hard, but you couldn't help them. They were a ward of the state, no real family and no foster family or attachments aside from some friendships. But nobody saw suicide from this person. Never talked about it. But it's the ones who font talk about it that go through with it most often, right?

And I can't tell why I'm having such a hard time with this. I can't tell if I'm sad about it, angry, idk what I should feel or do feel besides kind of numb.

I go back to work tomorrow and I don't know how to feel about it or how to talk to the other patients about it, if they ask or talk about it. I've never been in this kind of situation.

Could we have done more for them? What was so horrific that they did this? What couldn't they open up about? And why do that to so many other people, their peers and staff alike? I have so many questions that I know I'll never get answers to…

Had a mental breakdown the end of May, spent all of June in bed crying and planned on killing myself before July came.. now it's July and I realized I missed multiple assignments and fucked up the semester.

I'm 22 and have been in uni since I was 18 doing something I dislike with nothing else being offered that I'd like to do. I want to transfer to another uni out of province but my GPA is less than 2..

I've had depression since I was a child. I was abused by both of my parents and bullied badly throughout school. This province is small and I've been on multiple waitlists for psychiatrists, etc for years but never been called back.. I've been waiting for my unis mental health place to call me back for months.

Ahah. Anon, I know you're depressed and not being able to get mental health help feels hopeless, but you're thinking just as irrationally as how you were planning to kill yourself by July.
Become a squeaky wheel like other anon said; tell your uni that you've had suicidal ideations and you haven't been able to complete assignments. There's a possibility (if you work on this now and don't wait further) that you could have those bad grades wiped and you could retake the courses. If you do see someone, get handwritten letters of your condition, and if your uni psychs can write to your professors, have em do that (that's what I did during my breakdown in grad school).
And if you haven't come clean with the professors of those courses, do it now. You want them to understand and be on your side. They have hundreds of students, so they're going to assume the worst about you if you haven't shown up for classes and haven't done assignments like any other typical 'party' student.

I flipped out, screamed and cried and broke down for an hour, and I sucked it up and emailed the professor. I accepted that I had fucked up, accepted my 0% but I still wanted to submit the rough draft because I had no idea if I was writing it in the correct format or content and I wanted some advice. I had 0 responses for a WEEK and then finally they respond, a day before it's due, and didn't acknowledge that I needed help. They just told me to work on the final draft.

Ive always wanted to be famous or popular online or be a model but as social medias have come and gone, and I got older, I accepted at 16 Im not pretty enough and my life is too average. I recognize its dumb and egotistical to care about ect but it still bothers me time to time. Especially with my current situation and now that Instagram has become a job for the girls pretty enough, girls like Alexis Ren and other insta models who make a living on traveling and modeling or just being a social media star. I know its probably not that easy, that theyre probably unhappy too in someway and it wont last forever, ect, but I would have loved to experience it.

Im mostly at peace with it but my young sister has showed me girls like in pic related who are like 14 and literally living the life I tried to have until I was 16. It seems so effortless for them and I hope they know how lucky they are. When I was in college my parents got into an accident and I basically had to drop furthering my life to take care of my whole family because Im the oldest and both sides of my parents family are gone in some way. I love them and wouldnt trade them for the world but I wish I couldve experienced being insta famous at 16, being an insta model who travels, or even a vlogger. Im especially envious of Taylor for obvious reasons. I’ll be raising my siblings for probably the next ten or more years and taking care of my now disabled parents for life.

I am a complete fuck up. I am 28 with no degree. Partly because I kept dicking around in college and I was in a bad car accident and had to stop school. I recently found I really like working with animals and I want to go into the veterinary field. I managed to land a job as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital.

Not 2 months into the job I am fired. I couldn't keep up with the fast pace of the environment and I couldn't articulate well ( When I am nervous I stutter and forget how to talk) My boss said if it was a smaller/ slow paced hospital I would do fine. That doesn't help I now have a 2 month gap on my resume and I doubt any other veterinary will wanna hire me.

What makes it worst is that They were willing to bring in a manger to train the girl who was hired the same time as me and the girl they hired after me. I had co-workers say they didn't do anything for a good 6 weeks because they were in training. The girl and I who were hired together gone thrown in because they were going to be short staffed.

I feel like I was too odd for them to deal with so they let me go. This isn't the first time I've struggled with my job. I feel like a complete fuck up. I just have this cloud of depression hanging over me and it sucks. My life isn't that bad. I have a loving family and a supporting boyfriend but I still feel like I am could constant cry.

I am debating my options what to do next. I could go to community college to get a certificate to come a vet assistant but I feel like I will just screw it up. I could try another job at another veterinary clinic but I am riddled with anxiety about it. Not sure if I should mention my very short stint at the first veterinary hospital.

I just feel so lost.

I feel so useless. I want to die. I can't contribute anything to society.
I'm in my mid twenties and have no proper education nor a job or ambitions.
People keep telling me I'm 'gifted' because I'm pretty (lol no?), skinny (only thing that's good about me), charming (more like manipulative cunt tbh), some even mentioned I'm smart (average IQ; 112)
I'm way too sensitive about everything: loud noises, bad moods, critic.

You may want to look into highly sensitive or hypersensitivity.

Also… just have a look at all the other people. What are they actually contributing?

How much of seroquel do you get? If it is below 100 mg it is only used as a calmer. Ive gotten it too for sleeping issues.

A lot of people get a low dose of seroquel.

20 minutes is not really enough for a good diagnosis. If you self harm or used to, you have a 100% chance of getting diagnosed with bpd, although not everyone who self harms has bpd.

Pathetic rant but I'm doing a huge batch of work and the client didn't ask for the original PSD files to begin with, but now I'm onto the second batch of work, they suddenly need those first PSD files. Until then it was all going great and I had nothing but praise from them but now every time I think I've got it sorted, there's another problem like all the layers for one of the files got flattened or something (because to begin with I didn't know they needed those files, so I wasn't caring about that). It's clearly taking up a lot of their time to keep messaging me about stuff and I feel like such an idiot because it should have been common sense to maintain the PSDs. I stayed up all night to fix it last week and sent them all over, except I recently found out I had just uploaded them to a dropbox folder on my own hosting, that the client couldn't access or see. I feel and look so stupid in every way.
I desperately want to keep this client but this week I keep fucking up and making dumb mistakes, but at the same time the whole problem originates from them not being clear in the brief. It's great of them to be giving me a chance but it's obvious I'm inexperienced at this scale of work and I feel like such a baby that I want to cry.

Also a person snapped at my other job today, for something which was never told to me when though I've been working longer here than him and it was an honest mistake. It just feels like the final straw in my self esteem and I wish I could just be NEET.

I hate my fucking stomach so bad. I can't eat anything without getting anxious because I might get nauseous.
I was diagnosed with a Gastritis like 2 years ago. Went through the whole procedure of taking a bunch of meds. Got better and then got worse again.
Had a endosscopy when it was a little munch better (waited like 3 months to get an appointment so they couldn't do it when it was really bad)
They didn't find anything so I hoped it will finally get better.
Stomach started doing shit again.
Right now I can't see a doctor because of various reasons (I will in a few months)
It's not like I'm shitting/vomiting out blood or whatever but it's still super annoying to feel nauseous at least 3 days a week. That shit is destroying my life.
The last doctor I had didn't even want to listen to me. She was a rude bitch basically. I just want to get a new doctor and start from zero basically but it's kinda hard to do that right now.
I'm just so tired of this bullshit. Because it's not just being nauseous but basically having too much acid that works it's way upwards like it's overflowing or some shit.
Sometimes I feel like some cow because there's food coming up too (totally gross I know)

You probably know this already, but there are some daily habits that can make it a easier to deal with gastritis. Try to not lay down at least thirty minutes after eating, don't drink along with your meals, not even water, try to divide your meals and instead of eating few times a day a big quantity, eat more times in smaller portions. Also, avoid stuff that makes it worse, like spicy food, coffee and high fat foods. Hope you get better anon.

this might be a weird advice.
But carrot soup might help.

Just take 500 gram or 1.1 lbs of carrots. Chop them in small parts with a knife. Put them in a pot with twice as much water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Now boil it for over an hour or better two hours. You will have to add water again as some of it will get evaporated over time. So make sure the water level stays put over time. After it cooked for 1-2 hours, you can either puree it with a (hand) blender or press it through a sieve. If you lack both, eat the carrots together with the water - it should be the same.

Eat only the soup for some days.

Ive had super bad diarrhea and was super nauseous for over a week and after starting to eat the soup it got better. It's important though you actually cook it for over an hour or longer.

You can try taking Perenterol along with it.

Then they don't get it.

Unless they pay up. For extra X$, you will provide them with it, if you can.

Before each project with every client, write down in clear writing in bullet points EXACTLY what they will get for their money. Quantify every aspect of work. Ask them to confirm it. Start working.

Any demand they make, if not previously agreed upon, charge extra or simply refuse to do.

Every other week or so I break down.
Mostly when i'm by myself and have the time to think, since I live with my bf.
I just have no friends. None. My bf is the only person in my life that gives me human interaction (i live away from my family so i don't see them much).
After falling out with a close friend over them not treating me like a friend, i was basically their person they used until they found someone better, I just shut down. I'm extremely lucky to have my boyfriend but if anything were to ever happen like we couldn't live together or break up i would be 100% alone.
I know if i didn't have him I would self harm out of depression, boredom, and pure need of attention. I'm a Uni student the supposed high of my social life and the 2 years i've been here i've never been out to any parties or anything i just sit at home. My degree is all guys but 1 other girl and she doesn't seem interested in talking to me and while yes i do have people i talk to in uni they're not the kinda friends you'd go out clubbing with and vent to them, you know? (hence the venting on lolcow..)
I'm just a lonely person and i WISH i could make friends but i don't know how too, my uni has no proper clubs to join or anything that i could go to alone and feel safe/comfortable.
I start my work placement for uni in september and while i would like to hope i'd make friends it's at a game dev company - another sausage fest with people twice my age.

I have major anxiety and I hate my job, my classes and pretty much every aspect of my life at the moment. Everyone I know is having an amazing summer but all I'm doing is working and studying. My job is just awful I get yelled at by customers all the time, and treated like shit daily, and there's nothing I can do about it since I work in hospitality. I had a lot of people get frustrated with me today since I didn't speak their language ( it is not my obligation to) my manager is a bitch and never helps me all she knows how to say is " don't stress about it" when she easily stresses and has taken it out on my multiple times because she does not like me. I'm applying to different universities to transfer and I have so much to do but my job takes up all my time and i get home too tired to do anything which makes me feel worse about myself. I have practically no close friends who I can vent to, the friends I do have only talk about how their problems are worse than mines instead of actually listening to me which is the only thing but they can't even do that. I think I've developed a pill addiction as well and trying to keep my life together at this point is just very difficult. I really don't know what to do. I want to quit my job so badly but no other place wants to hire me, and I need money for school and other bills and my parents can't really help me since they are barely getting by themselves.

I need an insanely rigid example of a budget. Or some insanely rigid example of developing self control. I just recently quit smoking cigarettes and starting using an e-pen, but I'm still fucking up my lungs, and I want to stop altogether. I also smoke oil and I have no knowledge of any long term studies done on it but I imagine oil just slicking over entire clusters of air sacs in my lungs and rendering them useless. I want to actually be healthier and not be as dependent on indulging in chemicals all the time. I share everything with my partner so quitting cigarettes was a joint effort, and I am worried that if shying away from dabs or pot won't be, it will put an actual strain on our relationship. I personally wouldn't care if he didn't want to quit, but I feel like the dynamic of our relationship would change. I'm honestly just afraid that if I quit everything and make huge improvements in my life and he doesn't, he'll develop some kind of complex. I would actually enjoy a partner where I'm more of the breadwinner or I treat him more, I just want to have control over the entire situation quite frankly.

All I want to do is not work in hospitality anymore. Laborious jobs aren't paid enough in this area. I'm not even working in a field relevant to my degree, which is irrelevant to the career choices in general anyway, so what's the point in the first place? I can be in debt until I'm dead.

Part of me wants to be running the show, the other parts want to run away from literally every obligation. I want to just wander around all day hopped up on a substance and indulge in bullshit media and take shitty pictures, draw shitty pictures, write shitty stories, and occasionally relapse in some way or the other for hellish, self-destructive and self-indulgent mayhem

I ended up dropping my guard and catching feelings for an online friend after knowing him for a year and a half or so. We talk daily. Of course, he's on the other side of the planet.

It took me about a week or so to be honest w/ myself about it and as soon as I do he tells me about how he's made friends with a cute girl at his work and how they really click. He's not dropped me or talks any differently with me or anything, and I'm happy for him, because we both find making new friends fairly difficult and he's been deserving of a win for a while; I'm just really angry with myself.

Tbh it's really easy to fall for someone online since conversations tend to be more open and such. You end up getting to know someone way faster than irl and on a more personal level.

I'm not a virgin, but everything else you said sounds spot-on to my current situation. I've become so depressed, I'm on antidepressants and even though it makes me not want to kill myself, I'm still not happy. Luckily, I applied for graduate schools abroad, was accepted and my stepdad has paid for everything (bless him!).

If I were a few years younger, I probably wouldn't have appreciated this opportunity as much. At 27, I realize finally what I want out of life. I'm not sure about you, but I got myself in this situation a few years ago because I never thought much about what I wanted to do after college. I probably would have been happy staying with my longterm boyfriend and working a regular day job if it weren't for studying abroad. I did 1/2 my undergraduate program outside the country, and suddenly realized the awe of living in a giant metropolis.

Even though I was miserable in my home country/city after knowing what else was out there, I decided to start my own company straight out of college despite student loans and almost no funds or skillsets. Even though I learned a lot, the idea of being stuck in my current situation/location constantly threw me into panic. The fact is, as much as I enjoy many of the seniors I know through living here and wouldn't mind vacationing here, I don't fit in and desperately miss living in a large city with lots of stuff going on/opportunities. Even though I desperately wanted to succeed at my own companies, the dread of being trapped in this city/country for the rest of my life really screwed me up. This dread of becoming "stuck" here resulted in me also having zero IRL friends anymore (was scared of getting too bonded or falling in love and never leaving).

Even though I finally decided to leave, I go into a panic everyday/night thinking about dropping everything I've worked toward and leaving. I know it will be easier for me living somewhere I'm happy and not constantly panicking about becoming "stuck" living somewhere I'm unhappy, but it's still difficult. I'm leaving in 2 months and plan on staying abroad permanently in a huge major city. Honestly, I just want to live somewhere I'm happy. Living with my mom isn't even an issue for me, but living in a small town/resort city just isn't for me. I'm planning to have my family visit me for extended periods of time (mom and stepdad are both retired), but it's still scary knowing I'll be gone for good.

Moving abroad is not going to fix your problems, if anything it's going to create more. You keep talking about moving somewhere 'where you'll be happy' but you don't magically become happy by moving somewhere else, even if the place is more prosperous, because you'll need to try twice as hard to succeed there and people rarely pick candidates with foreign credentials unless they've a degree from Oxbridge, Harvard or some other world-famous institution. Not to mention that it'll take LOTS of money and LOTS of time just to get all the paperwork in order (for you and your folks), find a place to live, learn the language (if you need to), get a job as a foreigner, meet new people etc. It also costs exorbitant amounts of money.

I STRONGLY suggest talking it through with a therapist or a friend, I've met many people with a similar mindset (I moved abroad years ago, come from a country with a massive expat population and occasionally hang out in expat groups) who thought moving to X country would magically make everything better and finding work, making friends, etc would be easier than back home. Believe me when I say it'll be much harder.

uhhh maybe ask your doctor first before losing the weight? just to be extra safe?

start counting your calories. its the easiest thing you can do to lose weight right now. there are plenty of apps to track calories, free ones too.

if you are a little overweight you can lose the extra weight easily with calorie counting (as the anon called, "stop eating tons of food"). if you're heavier and you need to lose tons of weight then changing your lifestyle +diet/exercise is necessary imo.

sometimes the tiniest things like not asking for soda, skipping breakfast, eating one less slice of pizza, and other silly things can make all the difference. when you track everything you eat, you start realizing it so i'd recommend it for you anon. since its bothering you a lot and you can't do much in your situation. good luck, hope you feel better.

Mind you, I don't drink soda since I was a kid and don't eat tons of shit, actually my blood results are pretty good.

I am currently taking medication to for this, but so far nothing changed. I've lost half of my hair since January, it's sad. And to prove that it's totally hormonal, my nails are always big and healthy lol

I'll admit that I do love me some carbs tho. I'll try to eat them less and even bought some kitchen stuff to help with meal prep.

But until them, I'm pretty miserable. And deaf.

But really, I appreciate the help and concern, anon! Sorry if I sounded too whiny

I've actually lived abroad a few times, and have pretty good credentials. I see a therapist, and she also recommended I leave (she's an expat from Europe).

I've never had an issue making friends, but decided not to make friends here because of my own fears of becoming "stuck".

Luckily, my folks don't need to file any paperwork as I'm a dependent and plan to have them visit (not live with me) so this is all on me. I know it's a lot of work, but I'm getting everything in order and will be eligible for permanent residency in a few years. I know this is right for me, but thanks for your advice though anon!

My dependent is a fucking cunt, he can't even bother trying to get his medical waiver or his shots updated so I have to hold his hand through all of it. Why did I choose him??? On top of that, my contact never bothers to reply. It's been a week and I'm still as clueless as I was when I first got the news.

you might want to get your thyroid checked. Look at the blood results yourself, dont trsut your family doctor. If your TSH is slightly above 2.5 or below 0.3 you might have thyroid issues. If thats the case try visiting a thyroid specialist. If your TSH is way above 2.5 you have certainly thyroid issues.

are you the weight issue anon?

yes usually over 2.5 means issues. most doctors treat after the old standard of 4.0 though. :/
if you have over 2.5 for several blood works, try to get an ultrasound of your thyroid, your thyroid hormones T3 and T4 checked and get antithyroid antibodies checked.

I have hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is quite common among thyroid diseases. my tsh was 16 in the beginning and I was adjusted on a dosage so that my TSH was around 4 and literally lost several years of my life because I felt like crap.

My tsh is now nearly not measurable my thyroid hormones great and Im on a combinated medication with T4 and T3

I'm curious anon how is it with trying to lise weight for you?
My mother is talking a lot of bullshit when I ask her she is lying that she can't lose weight at all and only maintain her weight, despite her being lazy and eating like shit.

Hey there anons, I am this anon >>197394 and I am very thankful for your help! I don't live in the US (or any english-speaking country for that matter), so what is "THS" exactly? I'll translate it to my native language and double check the results.
I have my blood results (and we have universal health care where I live so it isn't a particular family doctor or anything) and I checked every page when they came out (I always do) and didn't see any problems but a Vitamin D deficiency (that many doctors say it's pretty common here where I live, but I have to take supplements for it anyway lol)

I do have PCOS and as far as I know I don't have thyroid problems, just "metabolic issues" (?), also I doesn't help that my uterus is retroverd and it sits wrong on my intestines/colon area making it harder for my bowels to work properly lol Shit just sucks (literally i guess)

However the doctor said a low carb diet really helps for most of my problems (and I've tested so myself and it really does), however it's very hard not to eat bread and stuff like that on a daily basis, when I go to work it's almost impossible to find something around that doesn't have refined carbs, so I really have to meal prep, which I am looking forward to this weekend or when my new kitchen gear arrives.

I fucking hate my brother.

He is a lazy, selfish slob who refuses to help out or contribute. He's 19 and unemployed, after being kicked out of college for never attending. He sleeps all day and plays video games all night.

What's caused me to hate him is the way my mum treats him. She has always babied him, defending his shitty attitude and lack of self-responsibility. 'Oh well, at least he's not on drugs'. She enables the fuck out of him and it causes nothing but arguments. My dad can't stand my brother because, like me, he is completely embarrassed by him, so my parents are constantly arguing over his lifestyle, and of course he doesn't see any of this as his problem.

I'm the older sister, and I've always been held to a higher standard. Everything is expected of me whenever they go away - taking care of the house, walking and feeding the dog, laundry, cooking food, picking up post and I fucking work all day. But my NEET brother, who does shit all, is expected to do nothing.

I'm so fucking envious of all of my friends, who have a good relationship with their brother. They joke, the share interests, they care about one another. It's so surreal when I visit them and I see them having friendly conversations with their brother.

I can't wait until I move out. I will never speak to that sack of shit again.

I kinda of hate coming to visit my moms.
Every few months I'll come to my moms to stay a week with her and her boyfriend because I hardly see her, and I know she's loves when I come over. Every time I stay over though, it's always the same thing. I hang out with her after she get's off work, she seems in a good mood and then her boyfriend starts ordering her to do things/she gets super pissed off at how messy her bf made the house/gets pissed off at her bf she making her go run his errands while she has her own stuff to do. I'm happy to help out if I see she needs it, like I'll do the dishes and clean up a mess if I see it but she gets in this SUPER foul mood the moment she's around him, cussing up a storm, throwing things and stomping, talking about how she wishes she was dead.
I get mad sometimes too when my partner makes me alittle mad but my mom pushes it.. it happens every time I come over and it makes me feel very uncomfortable as she storms through the house. Often I just go outside away from her. Both my sister and I have tried to help her get away from her partner, to move someone else and dump him but it's been over 7 years and she won't take our advise. We have tried to help her, I tell her I love her all the time but when this happens every time it reminds me why I don't visit often. She has no life of her own, she lives to work for her bf.

I want to give a more elaborated answer.

I dont know how it functions microbiological and what the issue is, but in my personal opinion and what Ive learned from a selfhelp forum in my native language, not everyone with thyroid problems has weight issues.
Some with hypothyroidism are underweight with trouble gaining weight, some are overweight with trouble losing weight and some are at a normal weight with no specific issues at all. I guess the thyroid is not the main source of problems and that the other genetic sources and family sourroundings play a role too.

personally and what ive experienced from other people with this disease I think, having one disease that affects the hormones makes it more probable you will have other hormonal issues as well. And just from my experience it seems more people with thyroid diseases have a genetic insulin resistance. It's a proneness for type 2 diabetes but without the illness became manifest. It makes sense since it is discussed that the thyroid plays a role in processing carbohydrates, which is the reason why a lot of people can make great results in cutting carbs out of their diet.

ahh sorry, it's so hard to explain everything with all the medical terms in another language than my native language.

the second part is that if you dont get the right medication or enough of it, you lack energy which makes it hard to get out of bed.

Regarding your mother, dont judge her. Be glad you dont have the same thing. Of course she has own responsibility and she could lose weight, she would just have to use double effort. You know?
And at your mothers age, it is probably less important for her than to enjoy eating. :/ Idk.

what mental illness is underlying all of that?
Is it possible for you to reach out to psychotherapy?

>also any drugs I could suggest I switch to?

Do you really think this is a good idea?

In the beginning an antidepressant thats calming could be helping.

Dont do big steps, just try it with 550 or 575 in the beginning. Do you have the 100mg pills at home or 25mg? If 100mg… you can ask in a drug store for a pill-parter (or whatever thats called in english, image attached) that way you can take quarter, half or 3/4 of a pill and lower the dosage in small steps.
Your body needs to adjust to a new dosage and come of the stuff.

i'm basically 'internet famous' on instagram and PULL has really solidified my opinion that it's full of literal retards.
i have to be vague, but my instagram is boring imo. my selfie got featured by a makeup company (one of those natural ones, i can't beat my face for shit) and it all went up from there. in the instagram world, i'm a nobody- i only have 25k followers, and it seems like now 50k is the starting point.
anyway, i googled my name and was surprised i have a thread. my 'internet history' is fairly new, and i know i've never done anything problematic. so i open it and.. it's pretty much just a few pages of people trying to find out what my real name is. i had posted a photo of some pretty mirrors and you could see my thighs (i am thin, but just naturally tbh my diet isn't special) and apparently now i'm anorexic and promoting eating disorders. i also have a finsta/personal ig and i guess a PULLtard got through because i had posted a photo of doxycycline asking if it helped others. now i'm also glorifying mental illness and drugs (they have to be retarded because, seriously.. it's an antibiotic for pimples).

People with good skin routines should have perfect skin.
I woke up on my 19th birthday with cystic acne.. it's never gone away since. Years of treatment. I always took amazing care of my skin- only wore eye makeup, always used sunscreen, vitamin c, collagen. i must've spent thousands on amazing luxury products for my skin. i've always had a great diet and i never eat fast food, dairy, or tons of sugar. the acne is hormonal so things have 'worked', but eventually they stop working.
my friend has perfect skin and she sleeps in her makeup. she always jokes about how she only eats mcdonalds (she literally does, she can't cook) and only drinks coke. she cakes her face in foundation like a drag queen even though she doesn't have a single spot. it seriously makes me want to commit suicide.

i eat healthy, i workout, i always have my whole life. i've done so much to keep my body in perfect condition. i can't go outside without foundation, but putting it on hurts. and whats the point? you can see all the huge, nasty bumps under it. i'm thin, and people used to always compliment me when i was just out and about. no one compliments me anymore.

Sometimes luxury products have too many ingredients because they're trying to do EVERYTHING for your skin. I know that my skin routine at its most expensive was harmful to my oily and spot-prone skin and my acne at that point was disgusting. I kept folowing skincare routines recommended by brands that I thought were good but they weren't all they were cracked up to be.

Switching to simpler products perfected my skin. I think it's easier to pinpoint which ingredients don't work for you when each product has less ingredients.

tbh now I just use aloe vera, witch hazel and olive oil and skip anything with alcohol or perfume in it. Every week or so I branch out with a luxury mask or serum. I switched to a milkier sunscreen too because I think the thickness of my old sun cream blocked my pores.

Weird share but I had diarrhea and took some stuff that improves your bowel bacteria and BOOM suddenly all of my acne is gone (good fucking god, sometimes im so glad this board is so anonym).

Putting "sage for blogging" at the end doesn't make it all better, it's totally ruined some threads and when it's going on it makes them almost unreadable (the Onision thread and the Luna Slater thread, for example- both overpopulated by autists).

I know its possible to discuss such things in a civil way…the munchies thread for example isn't that bad. For some reason though the average anon can't comment on bpd/npd without sperging the hell out.

i use to draw everyday with such ease, until a couple years ago i had a rather traumatic year with one thing after the other until it all callously chewed me up and spit me out. i developed betrayal trauma on top of also having major depression and anxiety. i had to get the police. during all of this i didn't draw a single thing. its my biggest talent and passion and i couldn't do it.

i began recovering last year and im finally mostly back on my shit. the thing is i had to take nearly two years of unemployment, moving back home with my mother (i had a lot of saved money to support myself i pay for my own bills and food and we split rent), and breaking up with my bf to even get even close to recovery. i want to get back to working a 9 to 5 job but ive been out of work for so long i feel incompetent and useless. plus my anxiety is through the roof. im still working on my art career and the only good thing i can say about myself is that my art has improved greatly. i know i can do an art career it just depends on when it happens. thank god my mother is an understanding person and actually fucking still believes in me. at least someone does.

i still feel like i haven't recovered from everything. so many things have been working out for me lately and i have a supportive and understanding small group of people who love and believe in me, so why ain't i happy at all? i still feel disgusting and worthless.

Stop wasting time and get the fuck on accutane.

I wish I went on it earlier, it would've saved me so many years of suffering, so much money spent on skincare that simply cannot fix cystic acne that requires proper medicine, and all the scarring and pigmentation it left behind. I know it's hard to make the decision because of fear mongering about side effects but your derm will monitor you the whole time. Fuck the accutane causing depression meme, it cured my depression because it was 100% environmental as a result of acne.

it's not even a significant other thing, either?? she's married? If anything we were kinda like the significant others, we're a more-than-friends close kinda thing, but neither of us said anything about it bc we're on either side of the world and it wouldn't work. We've dropped the L word on each a few times and have done the whole 'I'd deffo date you if distance wasn't a thing' song and dance. Like, we get together and watch streams and shit and fall asleep in voice chat on each other, that kinda close.

It's just dumb. idk i feel really stupid abt it – it was a thing for a couple of days before I even posted about it bc it took me that long to be like 'no ur not being stupid about it IS kinda shitty'. I couldn't ever hurt him over it though, because I do love him in whatever way it is that I do way too much. It just really kinda hurts and I have no idea what to do about it

Thanks for all the info though.
I've never been really interested in my condition despite me taking the meds. And I used to eat like shit too (I think I still can't get over the fact that I used to be one of the kids who could eat anything while staying thin or at least I didn't really learn on how to eat more healthy so Idk how that works lol.

I'm getting really tired of 'eyebrow-shaming', even if it is in jest.
I have naturally thin eyebrows, not 90s pamela anderson thin but pic related, except rounder. They're also kinda far apart, that's just how they grow.
I have big, round, protruding tea-stained eyes and they really don't need to be emphasised further with chunky brows, the ones I have now suit them just fine. I've tried several different styles but it just made me look fucking goofy. Yet people insist I get mine filled in, microbladed, shellacked into obedience etc because that's trendy now. I use a brow pencil and make them slightly fuller when I do my makeup, but any more than that would look silly, and I've tried.

What's worse is that in pictures they look even lighter, thinner and further apart than irl for some reason. Same thing happens to my lips, they just… disappear and my eyes look really meaty, idk why. Which just incites even more comments about my 'sad brows'. Jfc stop, not everyone's face suits Lily Collins caterpillars.

Basically my plan is to get a lift and some fat transfer to my breast, some fat transfer to my butt and hips, and acne scar removal, and fat transfer to my labia, with some jaw reduction and im doing a looottt of working out, waist training and taking care of my skin
In clothes,i look normal,without them I look bad

I also might consider selling my eggs to pay off the surgery as well
>in b4 "ooo just work on your self esteem"

Look I have a breast mutation and god awful body that working out and dieting can only fix so much, i don't want my boyfriend to take off my clothes and be disgusted, it's for me and I've been struggling with this since i hit puberty, it will honestly make my life so much better

my ass is shaped like a mans ass, I don't have saddle bags, my hips are shaped so weird, they're not hip dips but, they literally are straight flat on the sides, I have two huge dents in my ass, like a mans ass would be shaped, it's just awful and I have been squating/ weight training for years, it did get bigger and more toned but my hips and dented sides didn't change

However, if your boyfriend really loves you, he won't care about stupid shit like that. Sometimes sex is just like an extension of cuddling, by that I mean, your boyfriend probably will be happy if you both feel good, like cuddling.

Also, having sex with the lights off can be fun. It helps you feel eachother better and not pay attetion to your sorroundings.

I know it's hard, but try to relax. If he cares about you, he'll understand. If he doesn't, well.. he shouldn't be your boyfriend in the first place.

Untill last year I had never had a friend who genuinely cared about me or had anything in common with me, all my friends untill last year where just people I meet in my last year of hs and we were all just kind of stuck together bc it was the last year and everyone already their own groups (all of them where foreigners who had just moved so didnt know anybody, and had just been told by teachers to hang out with the unpopular kids, thats how our 'group' was formed) we all had nothing in common with eachother and they were all very focused on work, which I didnt care about all, so I never did any fun teenage things aside from a few partys here and there. We never went out on the weekends or hung out at eachothers houses or cafes, no texting till 3am or sneaking out, other typical teenage shit. It sucked. When hs finished I cut ties with them and spent summer alone in my room pretty much everyday. I thought when college started I would find a nice group to hang with but everyone In my class is a mirror image of those from hs. Expect for one girl who by some kind of insane coincidence, idk how, who shared pretty much everything in common with me. It was almost scary.

Finally I found someone who I share so much in common with and is the first true friend Ive ever had. I thought everything was finally starting to look up after being depressed for years, and I was starting to look foward to the future a little more

But of course bc Im fucking cursed or some shit
> Find out shes moving away and wont be coming back to college after summer

FUCK. wow I genuinely dont know why this shit always happens to me, why I am not allowed to be happy?? I guess not being completely alone was fun while it lasted. I dont think I can handle being alone again. The thought of it just makes me to kill myself, as if I didnt already.

Agreed. I tried dating my male "best friend" and after we decided to become bf/gf, he started going on about how unattractive I am. It's not a big deal that he wasn't attracted to me, since I don't/didn't find him attractive either, BUT he was pretty crass about his feelings. It really made me feel bad about myself.

He told me the perfect girl for him was a DD+ 182cm+ (6'0"+) Swedish blonde (with naturally platinum blonde hair) that dressed like a hooker. This was before he moved to Sweden (literally only moved there to get a gf).

I never had someone bash my appearance so much before, so I considered plastic surgery. In fact, I made an appointment with a surgeon, who told me I didn't need surgery and to spend the money on my hair and nails instead.

After I came to my senses, in part due to the plastic surgeon and therapy, I realized that I was being ridiculous trying to change myself for someone I didn't even want to date!

As for my "friend", he's leaving Sweden now, after a few years of trying to get a girl there and the 10/10 Swedish girls not wanting anything to do with him. He regrets everything.

Depression hit me hard again, my boyfriend used to be the sole thing that pulled me out of the gutter. Now he just seems to parrot these same phrases that everyone does, he doesn't make my anxiety induced ocd habits disappear because he just keeps denying everything. "It's not like that!", "It's all in your head!", "You'll feel better in time, you'll see!". I know it's all in my head and I can't break the loops I get into with pointing it out. I know it's not his place or job to fix me, I don't expect that. I'd just wish I had a little bit of thought and reassurance dedicated for me. I'm all alone and I've started planning my death again, because everybody is just a shell to me. Nobody has any meat in them anymore. Not even him. I love him so much but I'm so lonely.

Atm I'm just in bed, bleeding my uterine lining out and crying alone when I just would want to be held and given attention. I keep pushing him to play with his friends and spend time with them, because I don't want to poison him with my company all the time. I don't have any friends myself.

i vented about my housemates' and their treatment of their ailing dog last thread. where she died a horrible and slow suffocation death.

well this past 4th, one of their cats, a very chill and sweet longhaired boy, was tragically mauled by coyotes ( no doubt spooked out of the forest by the fireworks).
the younger was so devastated and the elder brother was so ~worried~ that he asked their mother to drive 10 hours at 2am because the younger wasn't taking it so well.

fine fine, whatever. the younger is an asspie and literally has no friends and that cat was with him for 16 of his 22 years. i understand all of this up until today.
not a week has gone by and he already has a new kitten. i get that "people grieve in different ways" and it's common for people to "replace" the lost pet almost immediately. it's just the amount of theatrics and "lets go get our 22's and get the fuckers" and all that shit when the cat bed isn't even cold yet. disingenuous. but i'm probably being petty because i hate them.

not only that, the mother brought up with her her shitty ass tiny dog, one that literally barks itself stupid/hoarse and two strays dogs she found 6 days prior in idaho. the male will not stop fucking everything, and the female, heavily pregnant.

this shit is a hick flop and i'm absolutely fucked up about the treatment and turn-around this household has in regards to pets.
i cannot wait to leave this dump behind.

I feel really bad for feeling this way but my grandmother is currently staying with my parents and I and she recently got sick and has become a huge pain in the ass. She doesn't want to eat or drink or even take her pills and constantly argues with my mom and bitches about everything. The worst part is that I had to give her my room and now I don't even have any private space for myself. I also don't want to sleep in the same room as someone who is sick because I can't afford to get what she has since it's viral and seems to be contagious. My dad also constantly bitches about her which makes my mom mad.

I went through a very similar situation, except with my grandmother her illness was terminal, but I still get how you're feeling. My grandmother was very stubborn so we had to pretty much convince her or argue with her for sometimes hours, every single day three times a day, just to get her to eat or take her pills. Its draining after awhile. Mine also loved to nitpick and start fights, making for an overall stressed out household. We went through it for a year and by the end even though we did still love her, it was a relief. I'm sorry you've lost your room, but at least she doesn't have something that'll rack up insane hospital bills like what my grandmother had. Hang in there anon.

I'm not sure if I'm depressed or not or whatever I am experiencing but here goes nothing.

I'm crying in my bathroom and finally recollected myself after a good hour. I'm such a shitty girlfriend and most likely I've hurt my boufriend's feelings since he is quite sensitive and unfortunately I'm just blunt. He's so wonderful but I honestly feel like I'm so toxic for him, i can't help but try and distance myself while constantly putting
Myself down just to show him how terrible I am.

I'm not sure if I'm just crazy or not but I get so scared that one day I might cause him
To actually hurt himself or kill himself. I was in a relationship where my ex mentioned how he self harmed and how happy he felt
Knowing he's dying and how he mentioned how shitty I made him feel and how I wasn't perfect like other girls, despite him being a total dick, fucking other girls and what not. However, that devastated me and it made me even more devastated to find out he was lying. From then on, just that fear of the possibility that I will be the cause of someone's death just frightens me so much that whenever I'm with my current boyfriend and I end up saying the wrong things, I immediately shut everything off and end up crying in the bathroom while simultaneously trying to keep quiet so my family can't hear. Thinking that when I go back and turn my phone on or whatever, I'll be told that he hurt himself. Even though, that has never happened, I still panic. I hate myself so much because of it. It's ruining my relationship and it's driving me nuts. I lost my great uncle and he was the only person I could lean on whenever this happens and now I don't have anyone.

Motivation is a fleeting whore and you don't need it. Motivation isn't consistent or reliable or useful for anything other than a creative burst.
You need to cultivate self discipline and you do it by forcing yourself to do the work that you hate to earn the satisfaction of completing it and doing it well. Force yourself once and you'll find it easier the next time because you've had a taste of genuine achievement.

It's super hard but if you keep telling yourself it's too hard and you're too unmotivated you'll fail. Tell yourself repeatedly the only thing stopping you is you and then get out of your own way.

This is dumb but it really bothers me when my bf doesn't return "I love you"s. About 50% of the time will he say "love you" or "love you too."

Definitely not going to bring it up to him because it's the dumbest, most nitpicky thing possible, but it does hurt when all I get is an "ok bye" in response. We're long distance and I feel like those little endearments are important since it's hard to show we care about each other in other ways. It makes me doubt if he does actually like me, and since I'm supposed to move abroad with him in the fall, it makes me question if it's the right decision… or if he doesn't want to be mean and break it off with me.

maybe I'm just reading into it too much and unconsciously sabotaging my relationship lolz

I was in a "nerd" group two years ago, made some good friends I hang out irl and then got the fuck out of there because a lot of them, grown up men in their twenties, literally had a private chat where they spent their time gossiping about members of the group. Also, being one of the first and few girls of the group, looking "normie" and being somehow attractive, despite avoiding attention and just staying in my chill spot, some of those guys were and are still obsessed with me. Also, them being just a more clean version of a neckbeard, flirt with just every slightly attractive girl who comes in the group, and when rejected start ganging up on them. Those creeps took my rejection really badly, hate my guts but pretend to be nice to me.
One of them is the nerd Onision: an absolute narc, arrogant, thinks he's always right and smarter and more talented than everyone, thinks he's a special snowflake for playing chess and reading french comics than nobody knows. He also has a Lainey: an underaged, bland, shy girl he's in a LDR with because girls his age run away from his creepyness. He also flirts with other girls, even in front of her, and gets rejected every time because the only one who could ever tolerate to touch him with a ten foot pole and deal with his NPD is a spineless underaged girl with no personality.
I had him in my friendlist because we were supposed to be in good terms, turns out that he's still shittalking me in that private chat and keeping up with my life (or the little I share on fb). This time he's salty because I'm writing for a website, so he goes on saying that "I can't write and I'm talentless" - despite everyone else saying the opposite - just because he writes for a website too. What a sad, insecure, pathetic little pedo man. I'm so sick of this high school tier drama, so I'm going to confront him and cut ties forever. I will never be in a nerd community again.

I'm at the point in my life where Im just starting out pretty much, I desperately wanna get my own place, get a job, sell my eggs to pay for plastic surgery and cannot do that with my parents in the way, which yeah I'm trying to get a job and split a place with a few friends and all but my family is the most aggravating and time wasting


Lets start with my grandma, a local trade school here was holding an event, my grandma heard about it, and gathered all the family to go to an event that was supposed to benefit and help me, the only person going to school soon, which makes no sense but they made me go despite me telling them i don't wanna and they tell me "oh you might see something you like there" and while i see my fellow classmates walk around by themselves or with 1 person,here i am walking around with my family for no, fucking, reason at all they needed to come, just to have them later tell me i should go to a regular uni and not a trade school, wasting my time and embarassment

Second thing that bothers me is the fact they name me this weird foreign name, im not gonna say what it is, buts it's one of those Russian ones that sound like an american name with a twist on it, you know which ones im talking about
But they call me by my middle name which is fine, but they constantly scream it in public to get my attention which is embarassing because when they do it I have all these people come up to me and say "ooo your name is ___ i thought it was ___" youd think they go by what I wanna go by, and not by what they wanna call me which is embarassing because of my social anxiety and how judgemental people are here, usually i wouldn't care but people here make a huge deal i don't get called by my first name, even though i prefer it

3rd, back to my grandma, she is fucking making me do everything, like she will read about a class in the paper that isn't relevant to anything i wanna do, tell me about it then act hurt when i don't wanna do it, which guilts me into doing more things i dont wanna and wasting my time and if i deny my family sees me as some monster,like there will be an event at church where they listen to a new song and she will make a huge deal and make me come, she almost made me come watch the choir practice, which makes no sense to waste my time and watch plus i had plans with friends
She constantly asks me stupid shit about getting into the local uni here, im not a student here yet i don't even wanna be a student… I use to be on the basketball team all my life and out of nowhere she comes up to me, knowing I'm not a student and said "did you see about joining the basketball team" like youd think it would be common fucking sense you cant drive up to a random school and ask to join a sports team etc etc, i have so many problems in my life and wanted to vent about that,my other problems are being handled as it is

I thought my bf was asking me if I wanted to go to a concert next week, which I usually can't because nobody ever wants to pick up my shift at my job.
So I told him to go ahead and buy the tickets for himself and friends.
I guess he actually meant that the concert is tomorrow, which I theoretically could go to because I called off work sick. But I only found that out because he posted about the concert to fb and now it seems a little too late to beg to tag along.
Additionally, I do legitimately feel punky and it would look bad on my part to post on social media about concert going when I'm supposed to be at home sick.

So, idk, realistically I couldn't have gone regardless but it still feels bad being left out of things. I don't remember the last time I did something legitimately fun like that.
Feels like I work for the weekend, since I have such a useless weekday schedule, and even on my weekends I mostly do nothing.

I'm only 20 but I'm already starting to develop the "I'm gonna die alone" mindset. I've never had a boyfriend before, mostly because my mother taught me to be afraid of men and to stay away from them. Now I wanted date, but have no idea how.

I think I'm still stuck in the whole 'someday my prince will come' ideology, like one day the perfect guy is gonna come sweep me off my feet. But I live in a really small town so my dating options are limited, and I'm afraid that the right guy might actually far away from here. Plus insecurities about my looks makes it harder for me to put myself out there.

Idk, I know there's still plenty of time to meet someone but I feel hopeless.

For now I just have a vivid fantasy love life where I obsess over celebrities who fit my perfect guy image, or just project a personality on the cute guys around me when I know they're assholes in real life. Makes me feel slightly pathetic but happy at the same time.

princesses where visited by princes because the princesses were known. They are in a way famous and popular. Public figures. And because you automatically get some kind of ennoblement.

Since youre not a princess, nobody knows you're sitting in your small town. It reminds me of a TED talk of a woman who said she "highjacked" dating and figured out that even in Philadelphia a population of 1.5 million people, there would actually be only 35 men who would fit her requirements (image related).

This doesnt have to be necessarily be true and it's regarding what you expect, but think it might be about right.

I did it right away because I was mad. I knew that group is full of salty losers, but I keep in my contacts the ones that (supposedly) aren't. Our interactions have always been friendly, I've never done anything to him, and he turns out to be this doublefaced and catty? Enough.
At first he said stuff like "B-But I didn't, who told you that" because he didn't know I have receipts. Showed him the screencaps, the three "…" typing marks go on and off for a good 4-5 minutes.
Then he finally replies. "I didn't want to be mean" yada yada. Nah dude, my "secret spy" told me everything, you always talk behind your own friends' backs and it wasn't the first time you came after me (cowardly acting as a friend in my face, obviously), so now I'm cutting you out for good. He actually tried to gaslight me, guilt trip me and say that he's my friend and loves me. It's surprising how much he has in common with Onionboy.
At last, as soon as he noticed that I was having none of his shit, and after I've told him that he sounds really insecure, he finally flipped and showed his true colors. "HAHAHAHAHAHA insecure of whaat, of youuu? I have a bright future in front of meee, [blah blah bragging about his uni grades and degree], [blah blah bragging about how he writes for a good and refined website "while I write for a shit one"], who do you think you are, there's no way a successful person like me would be insecure about you", a nice Gregsperg-tier sperg. I simply told him that confident people don't act like that (because it's true, come on, I'm not very successful but I don't have even the 10% of his levels of salt in me), that I'm sick of his child behavior and basically everything I said about him in the first post ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ
And before saying goodbye I managed to manipulate him into thinking that my source is a close friend of his that even apologized to me on his behalf.
Now they're telling me that he's fighting with his friends in the private chat, to find out "who betrayed him". Needless to say, I feel sorry for his gf and I hope she wakes up soon and dumps his ass for a kind, cute guy.

Since I was 13, I thought of getting a nose job, but on the other hand I am also really afraid of it. The tip of my nose is really wide and the one half is very asymmetrical. Every time I look in the mirror I think "Oh, it's not THAT bad", but when I take a selfie from the front or right side, where the nose appears super wide, it always looks absolutely hideous and if my nose is way too big for my face. (That's also why only very few fotos of me exist and on every image you can only see the left side of my face) I can't even imagine what people must think when they look at me and I honestly don't know how my bf or the few friends I have, put up with me. When I was in my teens I experimented with makeup to get the focus on my eyes and lips but when I do it, I always feel guilty of wearing a mask, because I have soemthing to hide.
I didn't told anyone about it and I am so ashamed that I think like that on a daily basis. I am very sure that I will get plastic surgery, when I am out of uni and can afford it, I just can't see myself living with this ugly, hideous thing.

I'm having really shitty luck as an online buyer lately and I don't know if it's due to it being summer, or if sellers are just being more irresponsible than usual.

>end of June

>decide to support seller by buying a print of her artwork instead of reposting memes of it like most people did/are doing
>via storeenvy
>got shipping notification fine
>tracking num didn't work but figured I'd give it a few days
>tracking number never worked even after a week
>still no print in the mail
>contact artist about it
>"Oh storeenvy has been garbage with incorrect tracking numbers you're not the first, tell me if you don't get it in a few days so I can talk to postal service."
Like…why continue to use storeenvy then?
It's been more than a few days since the deadline but I have to check my apartment complex's office just to be sure the postal worker didn't deliver it inside before I message back.

>also end of June

>ordered a set and a single of a product
>NOTHING was backordered when I placed my order
>two days later, receive notification that single product shipped but not the set
>because they decided a few days later to list a backorder on my set
>obv it wasn't on backorder at the time or else I'd have not ordered it!
>their website says they'd wait to ship items together when something is backordered to 'be green'
>well no, because they shipped my individual
>which I take as a bad sign because it means they probably won't fulfill that backorder for a significant amount of time
>the single product is useless without the set
So this company basically gets to sit on $50 for almost a month now without notifying me, or at least letting me know when they'd get more of the set. They kind of just expect their customers to be stupid and not ask I guess, I left a comment with my order number on their company fb page so maybe that might get a result.

I ordered something a few days ago from a UK clothing store and I still haven't received a shipping notification, despite paying extra for better shipping. At this rate, it will get here at the same rate of the free shipping assuming they had followed their own shipping policy!

I don't mind the actual students who come here for their Master's or whatever, they're great craic and I really couldn't give less of a fuck about Sanjay Patel and Dong Quang playing table tennis and drinking on a Saturday evening, but we also get actual middle-aged families nowadays who leave their buggies in the stairway with the screaming brat still inside, hog the hot press/launderette (like I described above), let their kids piss by the entrance and god knows what else. None of them look all that young and I highly doubt any of them work or go to college, so I don't know who let them in in the first place.

Sometimes I get so insecure about my English.
I used to be reeeally bad when I started to learn it (getting F's all the time basically)
The internet came along and I kinda learned it by being on English sites and reading all the comments, watching TV shows etc.
I got much better in school after a while. Now I'm in an English speaking country but I still make really bad mistakes sometimes and I can't say certain things the way I want to.
Also it fucking sucks that people can still hear my accent really easily after I only told them my order, and when they act like they are Sherlock for finding out it just pisses me off because I'm trying really hard.
When I write something in English I also don't come accross as smart and I would like to be because I miss vocabulary or make a grammar mistake.
I just wish I actually listened when they taught you all the basic stuff in school.
I can use certain tenses just fine but I can't name you the rule or explain why one is using tense x instead of y.

It's funny because most native speakers can't either, kek.
Your grammar seems fairly good to me anon. If native English speakers are giving you shit over an honest try, they're likely insecure themselves. My second language is Spanish but I probably couldn't type a full paragraph on the spot without any errors either.

Same. But take note that most native speakers can't either, and that theory is not really important unless you're using English for academical purposes (for ex. teaching it). No one comes at you irl and asks you "Hey, tell me tense X".

A year? Anon, that's nothing! Accent changes happen slowly, over a very long period of time, and not everyone goes through the process at the same pace, some never do.

Only very small children can adapt that fast, and even they take a lot longer than a year.

I feel like my life completely halted in 2013.

I had friends, a bright future, was dating hot guys, and enjoying life. After I graduated college and moved back to the U.S., I lost everything. Suddenly my health (physical and mental) plummeted and I gained 40 pounds. Before I knew it, 4 years had passed.

I'm trying to move forward, but am deeply depressed despite being prescribed a high dose of antidepressants. I look at my old friends and classmates from that time period's FB profiles, and most of their lives seem to have come to a standstill at a similar point in time. No or few updates at all to their profiles. I'm too embarrassed to contact anyone. I've had a few old friends from high school contact me, but I was too embarrassed to reply, except to one person. I replied, and never got a response back. It makes me more depressed thinking they may be feeling the same way as me.

I'm trying to get out of this "funk" and go back to the way things used to be, but it's hard. I'm moving abroad in 2 months to get a graduate degree, and hope that will jumpstart things for me. Right now I spend most of my time laying in bed avoiding life, and feeling like crying. I joined a couple internet forums I used to be an active member of, but I'm not sure if it's just me or if life has changed so drastically…because the vibrancy is gone. Everyone I used to chat with on the forums have disappeared. I don't even know why I come to lolcow anymore (habit? it's the best option for likeminded people?).

Oh my fucking god

I love my boyfriend but he is such a fucking child sometimes!

It was around 12 AM last night, and he had been on the couch, sleeping while sitting up, for two hours. I tried to wake him up a few times, but he kept making the same sad pitiful face before closing his eyes again. He wanted me to wake him up, so now I have to fucking constantly try and nudge him awake without getting angry at him for falling back asleep. We just ate a bunch of fried chicken like pigs and watched Seinfeld. Then he got mad that he was falling asleep to Seinfeld. Then fell back asleep. So I got up and brushed my teeth. He woke up again and asked me what time it was. I told him it was late and I was going to bed, because I have to fucking get up in the morning. Cue him getting pissed off and slamming things around, huffing and hurriedly searching for things on the XBOX to do or watch or something.

So I just laid in bed and ignored it. I put a pillow over my head and ignored it. He just got angry and impulsively decided to buy cigarettes, but then sat in the living room and moped before going to bed.

God, just grow the fuck up. I'm sick of all his fucking attachment issues. I want to scream. Like, he can't be 20 feet away from me (not even) in the bedroom and enjoy a TV show by himself in the living room.

We walked around all day yesterday after I got home from work, and at 8 PM he was like "We don't have enough weed for tomorrow, do you want to get weed tonight?"
No, I don't fucking want to get weed tonight after leaving the house 3 separate times to grab things, I just want to sit down and find some motivation to do something besides sit on the computer all day. I said no, I don't want to. Instead of going, oh okay, I'll go by myself, he gets all pouty and dejectedly tells me he'll wait 'till tomorrow. Guess who changed her mind so he wouldn't fucking pout all night!

The most annoying part is how he can't just be like "I know I have issues. I'm sorry I get upset when you don't want to do something with me." and leave it at that. He has to tell me WHY he has them, even though I KNOW WHY, and he's told me several times before when a similar situation has occurred.

I don't think he understands that I will leave him if he keeps this up. If I feel like I have to do go everywhere and do everything with him to maintain his positive mood, I'm going to fucking leave. The only thing that's stopped me from breaking up with him a few times is going to pound a few drinks at a pizza bar without him.

My boyfriend just spent the day consoling his ex-girlfriend after her long-term boyfriend dumped her. He took her out to eat, and took her to a clinic (even making an appointment for her), and spent hours at her house.

They've been friends for longer than we've been dating, but I still hate it? I trust him, but he does this kind of stuff all the time without considering how it would make me feel. I think because I'm usually so chill with everything, he doesn't see a problem. I've mentioned it casually, but sometime's I think he's a little retarded when it comes to social norms.

If a situation bothers you, you should bring it up in a serious manner from the start. Guys are oblivious and can't take a hint. If you're not firm on the details or intentions, don't worry about being X kind of person until you're 100% sure of the details.

If you still feel jealous about it, it's not a bad thing. Different people have different sets of boundaries. It's not the worst thing in the word to expect your SO to restrain himself from being too friendly with his exes.

honestly, him being so close to his exes still is a red flag for me, even if his intentions are good. he's juggling multiple women as if he's still in some significant relationship with him, without any regard to the one he's currently with.

My bf is sort of like this (used to be anyway?), in the sense that he doesn't understand when he crosses emotional boundaries with his female friends and that it's downright inappropriate to do.
I tried to be understanding at first because he just had a lot of female friends, and we had so many mutual friends that I would've known before if he were a cheater.
He invited a female friend to stay at our apartment once, lied to me about how long she was staying for, and went out to do fun shit (datey stuff like trips to the museum and showing her the sites) while I got to go to work. Whenever I'd ask to go on dates, he'd bring up money as a reason not to. I gave him an ultimatum after he treated me that way and told him if he didn't start treating me better, that we were over.
It worked pretty good.

If you want to make this work anon, then you have to nip this in the bud before he thinks this is acceptable.

I do not really know how to describe it, but lately I remember many moments from my early childhood. For example, I went to a store today and stood in front of a huge poster. On the poster was a city at night, I could see every small, brightly lit window in the big skyskrapers & in the background of the store ran some weird kind of Deep House mix.
This reminded me of a night when my father and I drove home after visiting my cousin. There played a similar kind of music in the radio and I was happy because my brother wasn't there so I was allowed to sit in the passenger seat next to my father.
I saw the well lit city pass by in the window next to me, and when I looked with half-closed eyes at the front, the lights of the passing cars looked like stars. I felt sad when remembered this, because it made me realize that I am now grown up, and my father will not be there anymore in a few decades. I do not know why, but pictures of cities at night make me sad, I associate them with transience. Anyone else here who is experiencing similar stuff?

So in about November last year, I kinda developed a crush on this guy. It's really hard for me to develop crushes in the first place, so when I realized I liked him it was kinda of a refreshing, exciting feeling. Everytime I had run into him/hung out with him he was always super sweet and always try to make conversation with me. One time I had ran into him and he told me he missed seeing me around and that I should hang out with him more, which I think is the reason I started liking him. We were never super close though, and hung out rarely. In addition, we had similar interests but never really got the chance to bond and really get to know eachother. So time passes and I see him a few times, and I notice he starts posting picture of this girl on his Instagram. At first I think (and hope) that they're maybe just friends but as time goes on I realize that they seem a lot closer than to appear as "just friends". They also go to school together, which I believe can bring people a lot closer together. Right now I just saw a pic of her kissing him on the cheek and I have to admit, it hurt a little. I really feel like we could've had something but our lack of communication and seeing eachother played a huge role in never letting us really get to know eachother. Every time I see a pic of them together I feel so sick and angery but there's really nothing I can do. And it sucks.

I just finished first year of university where I shared a flat with 9 other people. 3 of these people were amazing and hilarious and made the whole year bearable. The other 6 were fucking insufferable and seriously some of the dumbest, laziest and most entitled people I have ever met.

A few of them I didn't see wash a single thing. Dishes completely covering the length of the kitchen counter, shit like pots and pans with water and congealed pasta in left in the sink, vodka gummy bears stuck to the inside of a cup after being left for a month. After a few months I flat out refused to wash anyone's dishes but my own. One time one of the girls got so drunk she couldn't function and I had to help her vomit then put her to bed. Her room was a complete horror show. Stench of piles and piles of unwashed clothes to the point where I couldn't see the floor. Half of her BED had smelly dirty unfolded clothes on it. They'd do childish shit then leave their mess lying around and not even notice when someone cleaned it all up. They would come in absolutely smashed and sit outside my bedroom door screaming and laughing when I had to be up at 7am. One time I came out of my door and there were flowers and SOIL and a broken plant pot all over the hallway because of them. Someone would leave bags or shoes lying in the hallway that was meant to be kept clear and they'd stay there for a month.

They were all either biomedical science students or psychology students but were the dumbest people I'd come across in a long time. They would have kiddies footballs all over the house and spend their money on stupid shit like mini Ukelele guitars, childrens toys, spray tans and having takeaway food every single night rather than buying groceries. One girl in particular would drive her car to university every day instead of walking 25 minutes, spend all her money on takeaway, spray tans, clothes and alcohol then have the nerve to claim emergency financial assistance from the university and use 'going to see her ill mother' on the application form. Although they were all such babies that they'd skip classes during the week to visit home and get their parents to wash their clothes for them and coddle them.

They had no respect for any of us whatsoever. Whenever they were drunk they'd do shit like use mop handles to try and smash holes in the ceiling of our kitchen, break other peoples things (like our flatmates teapot - which was his pride and joy) and make so much noise when we were trying to sleep. The three fake indie kids would come knocking at my door steaming some nights begging me to roll them cigarettes or asking me for weed and getting pissy when I said I wasn't sharing it for free. I'd eventually charge them £1 for a rolled cigarette which they would smoke half of and throw away because they're posers which always gave me some laughs.

They didn't make any friends the whole year besides each other. They'd bitch about everyone they met in their course and on nights out and even each other sometimes. Two of them seemed like your typical stuck up popular girls who knew everyone at their school and the others seemed to suck up because they wanted to be cool and popular too.

That was a long-winded post. This is barely scratching the surface of the shit I had to put up with but I'm just glad I'm not living with them next semester. They will all be living with each other though and I dread to think what the fuck their flat will be like.

Not trying to condone some of the thoughtless stupid shit they did, but what kind of behavior did you expect out of 9 first year university kids sharing one flat? Even if you were all adults, it sounds kinda gross to even share a flat with 9 other people, anyway. They sound young and stupid, and thats what young stupid kids do.

just thinking about killing myself, not seriously, but I think about it like a wandering thought sometimes when I'm stressed.

i just want to leave everybody behind and be alone, but I know that's a bad idea, but I just want to be alone. i never feel satisfied with anything, can't focus on anything for more than a few minutes, i have a fucking mental problem. i am a failure. i don't mean anything in this world, i am nothing. usually nihilism is comforting but I feel despondent and frustrated. nobody gives a shit, nobody cares. i'm an annoying human being. the only reason i can't kill myself is hurting people that love me, thus proving how hypocritical it would be for me to be upset that i feel surrounded by apathy, but then kill myself and hurt others. that's why i just want to disappear. i just want to disappear. there is nothing to talk about. I am a failure, in a dead end job, and i am certain i will go nowhere, and i'm not even 25. i sound like a huge pussy because i am one.

I realise now it may make me seem immature, but I genuinely felt that 'mean girl' vibes from them and they seemed as if they still acted like they were in high school and people were beneath them and popularity was important. Also, I had no choice but to stay with 9 people because that was the only accommodation option I could afford and the university chooses your flatmates at random. I understand how you can't have 10 first year students lumped together without mess being made or drama being had but this was consistently ridiculous and things were much better in the few weeks after they left after exams and left the rest of us in the flat alone

how do I stop being insecure over the stupidest fucking shit my bf says, holy shit. like, when he says "insert fictional character here is soooo hot," i get jealous for no reason. i hate myself for it.

the other day he was like "hey ur cute" while we were talking and because im a pathetic bitch i asked "but am i fictional character cute," and there was the most awkward silence ever before he started laughing, and I said "yeah…guess the answer is no" and he was like "well no one can compete with fictional characters" and i was crushed.

i'm so insecure about my appearance, always have been. i know my bf isn't being malicious or insulting but every time he says stuff like that i wanna die. i just don't feel good enough for him.

idk how to fix this and just accept myself and accept that he can find other people, including video game characters, hot. i know it's totally normal. i know it's not his fault. the problem is me, but i don't know how to not feel bad over dumb shit.

I've noticed I have a pattern of becoming extremely infatuated with attractive guys that are A.) in positions meant to teach/help me B.) impossible to develop anything further relationship with.

i.e. Professor, waiter at a high class restaurant (who put a lobster decorated bib on me for my dinner; oh god it was adorable, I swear the sexual tension was like a blanket) and most recently, my personal trainer.

Thing is I'd never consider making a move considering how inappropriate that'd be and part of me knows I only desire them for the impossible fantasy, once I actually knew them as people it'd likely fall apart. I have a good relationship with my pops, I'm not insecure and I have a bf that's very attentive/caring. What's up with this subconscious part of my self that's continually seeking men in these positions? Am some sort of idealist romantic or do I need more self validation than I thought? Gah… I want these pointless infatuations to stop (but I also don't)

late reply so you probably won't see this but me too, anon.

in HS i transferred to a big public school because i wanted friends. i was ostracized at my old school for being into music like metallica, iron maiden, anthrax, etc.. At my new school there were kids like me and i was so excited, but they had all grown up together and hated me for no reason. i had always been a girly girl and loved makeup, skirts, etc.. apparently because i had long hair and wore miniskirts i was a fake fan.
i ended up going to concerts alone (i had always dreamt of going with friends). i eventually saved up enough sick days at school and skipped a whole week so i could follow metallica on tour around my state. it was fun, but i kinda wish i had someone with me.
i did end up meeting lars ulrich at an art museum, which was cool.
now im in college and im having the same problem i did in HS basically. especially now with band shirts being in trend, everyone assumes a put together girl is a poser. i'm not saying i'm model levels of beauty but i do take care of myself. i thought this stupid way of thinking would stop in college, but apparently not.

I'm back in my shit hometown and stuck here with a BA degree I can't put to use because I have no car, there isn't any jobs pertaining to my degree within an hour at least. I never leave the house, I don't want to make friends irl here because I hated everyone I went to high school with and all of them are in their mid 20s still acting like they did back then.

The only person I have is my boyfriend and the one person I had I could talk to is gone forever and I have this aching pain in my stomach that never goes away. I see a therapist once a week and am on medication for my depression, I just feel like I'm getting worse.

Ever since I've come back to my parents' (my mom's) home after college I've been having crazy breakouts, headaches, and frequent nightmares. My mom has untreated mental issues (don't want to armchair, but probably bipolar and narc) and has abused me since childhood. I love her, but she only ever says hurtful things to me, that if she dies I won't cry, that I don't love anyone, projects a lot of her bad features on me, calls me every sort of name, is frequently mad at me for the stupidest reasons, will beat the fuck out of me if I ever dare to move the slightest critic in her direction and has overall denied me the development of a self esteem which has caused me a lot of problems I'm working on. Thing is, we're also dirt poor and where I live finding a job is like finding the holy grail, and IF you find one you get paid like 400-500 monthly. This way, there's no way I could move out. But I NEED to move out, because this situation is taking its toll on me and I've had the first suicidal thoughts since teenage years. I feel legit trapped in a hopeless situation. I just need money and a therapist. Why do people with crippling mental issues have kids and why nobody stops them?

so, idk how i even made it this far. i'm doing an internship abroad, and my social anxiety is at an all time high.

i feel awful and alone most of the day because the time difference is getting in the way of me talking to my best friend and bf, and i know i need to try to make friends here instead of relying on talking to them to make me feel better, but i don't feel like my language skills are good enough. that, and the people living in my building already have friends from their own countries, so it's easier for them to speak with them… so i just sit in my room for hours and i'm wasting time here waiting for the days to pass so i can just go back home, when i should be doing cool things, but i can't bring myself to do anything by myself or talk to anyone. one of those dumb vicious cycle things

i also hate the place i'm interning at, it's really stressful for me to work at the reception desk (in addition to other shit) because i'm not fluent, and i've had people get mad at me for not understanding them which just makes me want to kill myself. plus everyone probably thinks i'm fucking retarded because i get so nervous when i speak that i stutter and talk quietly. i feel so useless at this job, having to ask them to repeat themselves is just so embarrassing for me and it makes me want to die

the internship is unpaid, too, so i feel like i'm doing this for nothing, not even improving my language skills, while destroying my mental and emotional health even further. the only good thing is that i'm losing weight, mostly because i'm not eating, but at least i'm starting to look nicer in my clothes

Finally after about 3 months of no contact at all, I finally feel better and like completely I moved on, but then about month later he sends me a message with some stupid meme.
I responded even though I shouldn't have and conversation went nowhere of course.

Now, about 2 weeks after that I feel miserable and depressed again. I had a cute guy flirting with me last night and yet I couldnt get ex bastard out of my head and I just got anxious as hell and went home feeling like I just want to die. I even wanted to text my ex, thank god I stopped myself.

I was chilling in my room with the windows open late at night, when a group of 2 boys passed by talking and laughing very quietly about something. I started listening on their conversation because i'm nosy.

To my surprise, they were talking about a passed out girl they raped tonight and laughing about it and saying how she didn't wake up at all and how "good it felt fucking her when she was asleep".
I didn't know what to do so i looked out the windows to see what they looked like but they were already turning a corner and getting in their car, and i wasn't able to catch their faces or clothes at all since it was very dark.

I don't know if i could've done something about it, but i feel horrible for knowing this and not being able to help the girl or report those bastards, i just wish i could do something with this information to help the victim in some way instead of being useless.

Been suffering with the depress for ages. Lately I have been getting worse and worse and seriously considering an hero and with additional weight gain due to comfort eating I feel 10x worse. Feel like my friends are getting sick of hearing it, I turn to my mother hoping for a shoulder to cry on and support. She expresses how bad I am for telling her how I felt and how I should have kept it to myself and that she wouldn't have told her own mother and would have pretended she was okay (even though I told her I feel like kms), and that now I've made her feel bad and why don't I tell my friends instead and not her and that I make her feel depressed etc. Now hiding upstairs crying.

Aww anon, it's not your fault. Even if you saw their faces you wouldn't know their names, or the name of the raped girl… If she files a report. And even then, the two assholes could always claim they were drunk too, or something like that. It's terrible, but most guys get away with raping drunk/unconscious girls all the time sadly.

That's cool! You could open Tinder and find a cute, friendly guy who speaks English. You go out, he could show you the city, even introduce you to his group of friends. As weird as it could seem, Tinder is often the best way to make friends when you're new in town.

met up with a guy at a party who i used to have a massive as fuck crush on in highschool to which he never paid me any attention or gave me a chance whatever- he knows and we've joked about it from time to time cause it was embarrassing. we've been friends for a while, and only ever chat friendly together. at the party i was being a little flirty and silly when chatting with him because i was drunk and dumb. as the night went on he got more and more drunk and more and more all over me - started out rather harmless but by the end of the night he kept trying to kiss me despite me saying no (we never actually kissed he just kept trying to or saying he wanted to)
I have a bf who i love and live with and want a future with, and so im feeling super guilty. I wanna talk to this dude about it and kind of set some things straight but my friends have advised against it.
I secretly liked the attention and that he was so into me because it felt like the tables had turned and some sweet justice for my highschool self lol yet im feeling guilty for that too .

I'm upset because my boyfriend tries too hard to do nice things and be friends with this flakey dumbass obeast dude who's spoiled rotten and it really messed things up insofar as being able to go to a concert with my bf.

Story is bf bought concert tickets for him and friend. The concert is tomorrow, but asshole friend decides to tell him tonight (less than 24 hours) that he isn't going.
I can't just go in his place because my job is inflexible as fuck. It didn't used to be, but now it is.
I'm scheduled 1pm-11pm and the concert starts at 7pm. Nobody ever picks up hours, and I'm trying to get into a fb group right now called 'incentives' where you basically pay someone under the table to take your hours. It's double pay.
I have five days of floating vacation time (not counting the two weeks I scheduled in September), but apparently I can't use them because I needed to have submitted the request for it last monday,
Which is an extreme amount of bullshit.
I can't take a sick day.

So, fuck me I guess. If that stupid ass fat fuck would have told us he couldn't go like two days ago my chances would've been better, but almost nobody ever picks up the day before. Fuck that dickweed.

I feel like this would be me if I were in that situation lol. I always feel guilt for dumb reasons and from an outside perspective, I think you should just forget about it.

As for me venting,
I told this guy I really, really liked that I don't want to do anything else unless I know it's going in a good direction, and just wanted to see where it would go. He started being distant, which I just thought he was busy, then he made a sugarcoated excuse (which also had to do with him being too busy, specifically with making music) for why he didn't want a relationship or anything, and still said he wanted to be friends. I realized after he said that to me that he just meant he realized he didn't like me that way, he confirmed, I chewed him out a bit over text and made sure he understood that he was the one that initiated most of it, to delete the nudes I sent him, and that I can't be friends after that and apologized and that was that.
I'm still friends with him on facebook, plus he is roommates with my very close friends. Most of the reason why I don't want to be friends with him was because I got such strong feelings for him so fast and it wouldn't be worth the hurting.
I want to do things to try to get him to regret what he did but I know in the back of my head that its pointless. I never met someone that I clicked so well with, guys.

I know the feel anon, that used to be the story of my life - I'm actually the anon u replied to so let me tell u one thing - they always come back around and regret not giving u a chance when they could ;)
However for most boys or ex's the best "revenge" is honestly just doing you and appearing better than ever. It's not to say "look super hot!!" But look like you're enjoying life, and are completely unphazed (even tho inside that's it the case lol)
I know it's tough to just get over it, but you just gotta fake it until you make it. If he comes back around or tries to chat with u even as friends don't dive on in and pour your heart out to him, don't make any sad type statuses or guilt trippy posts because it's fills their ego to know that u can't move on. However, when you're happy and enjoying life without them it like triggers something within them and makes them want a part of that again! And who knows a while you're busy showing him ur better off without him, maybe you'll start to believe that yourself so by the time he comes around and tries to hit u up again you won't even want it anymore!

Thanks so much anon!! This is what I keep telling myself. I agree, they always regret it. I have a feeling he will so I'm trying so hard to act like I don't care. He loves music and art as much as I do, he is more into music, but he draws just to draw sometimes. But now I'm getting really buried into my art and posting it on social media, which I wanted to do anyway, but it's making me even more focused and its a plus that I can brag about it to him without directly doing anything.
He acted super into me, more than I've ever experienced, had GREAT sex, chemistry in all ways, and since we have so much in common, I really think he will realize he made a mistake. He's 25 and I'm 24 by the way.
I'm trying to do everything right, and I'm proud of myself for being the one to say that I don't want to be friends afterwards and I won't interact with him unless he initiates it, even they I will still be weary. I'll probably interact with him minimally if I see him in person.

I didn't make the best impression on them when I was a teenager and that caused me to be afraid of seeing them again.

I got raped earlier on in the year and I've finally gotten around to telling people (like my family, close friends) about it and how I'm doing. Everyone is really supportive and understanding and yet I can't help but feel like a burden. No one really truly knows how to help besides my actual therapist and I feel awful when I have a flashback or my emotions get the better of me because its something I can't control, and I was so used to 20 years of being in control of my life.

It's gotten to the point that my depression and PTSD has made me feel like dropping out of university and becoming a recluse or just taking up a job in my hometown. I know it shouldn't get the better of me and that I will come out stronger or I just need better "coping" skills/techniques… but I don't know what can even help anymore.

I went through a similar thing at your age. I was stalked and attacked by a random stranger during broad daylight. I called police immediately afterward, but was humiliated by them (told me it was my fault for wearing a knee-length skirt rather than tight jeans…I kid you not). The creep who assaulted me wasn't arrested for a few days after attacking me, and spent the next few days standing outside my apartment threatening to kill me.

He had a few friends who would scream outside my apartment that they would kill me too, including a woman (his girlfriend?). I literally never saw or met these people ever in my life. I didn't attend any of the court proceedings (didn't want him remembering my face too well), but he still received 4 years in prison. Despite this, I became a complete recluse, and definitely considered dropping out of uni. My grades dropped and I purposely let myself go physically. After a few months, I moved abroad and immediately felt 90% better. If you can transfer to a university somewhere safer, I don't think it's such a bad idea. I had to return to the U.S. to complete my degree 1 year before my attacker was released from prison, and became incredibly suicidal after returning to where everything occurred (it happened near campus).

I've been seeing a therapist for over a year, and she has recommended I leave the country permanently for my mental health. You don't need to leave the country, obviously, but moving somewhere new might be a good idea. I've learned "coping" skills (including a 5 month self-defense course), but honestly, even my therapist said there are too many mentally ill people walking the streets in the U.S. (she's a European immigrant) so being paranoid isn't unreasonable. I'm not sure if you live here or not, but if you are a weeb of sorts then check out East Asian countries. That is where I lived 2 years, and am returning. It's incredibly liberating as someone who's been raped and sexually assaulted to live somewhere withOUT the creepy drug addicts following you in their cars, cat calling, and cussing you out or groping you etc. Sure there are creeps, but nowhere near the same level.

Same here anon. I even saw a sleep specialist a couple times and had a sleep test done. Basically, he said I'm not sleeping properly because of stress. I'm not sure if you are stressed or not, but it's definitely a contributing factor for me at least.

I tried to do the same thing for ages. Never worked. Instead I kept shifting it forward a few hours each time until I got it to where I wanted.

I can only speak for myself but a huge factor for this was the fact I had nothing going on. If I have college and/or work that requires me to be up at 8 AM, my body will be happy with 8 hours of sleep as that's all you're supposed to need. But during vacation? I'll regularly sleep for 12-16 hours. I also know my friend was just constantly feeling tired during a bought of depression brought on from a relationship that should have been ended way earlier.

Sometimes I worry that the way my body looks will drive away any protential partners.
I'm not obese or, I work out regularly and have good hygiene and no major scars or anything like like that, but my body is naturally shaped in a way that could be considered "manly" or just unappealing in general. I don't have a very small waist and my tits are nonexistant, but my ribcage and shoulders are crazy wide. I also have hip dips which makes my hips look smaller from the front even though my butt and thighs are on the larger side. From the side I look nice but from the front I look like a fucking linebacker. I know how to dress for my shape and look pretty good with the clothes I choose but knowing that if I want to pursue a relationship, the clothes need to come off at some point kinda worries me.

I feel you on the acne thing, too. My skin was recovering after 6 months, but now I've got scarring to deal with all over again.

Also, I learned one of my professors died recently and I had just started a class in hopes of having them again, with no idea why we had a sudden switch in instructors.

A lot of my formative music listening years were influenced by LP, so this news is just awful. Especially learning that LP had just released a new MV hours before Bennington's suicide came to light. His death is awful no matter what, but something about it is even more depressing because it wasn't during hiatus or a break. Like he was hurt so bad that even a busy schedule couldn't stop him from suicidal thoughts.

I guess I don't know how to explain, but drawing is the only thing that really keeps me going. Producing work that shows I'm improving is when I'm happiest. But when I get depressed, my feelings of inadequacy over art amplify and stop me from doing anything. I guess part of the reason I want to go into art is that producing work will stop me from killing myself, but Bennington's suicide flies in the face of that.

I don't know. I think I'll quit art soon because it's a risky career and I don't think I'll ever be good enough. I hope I can find a new career, soon.

I've been feeling the same way lately due to similar circumstances. LP and Chester was kind of another moment where I just felt this wave of sadness. Its funny because I spent my entire day drawing today to relax and when I had found out all I could do was continue my art and listen to LP as a little grieving moment.

Feel better anon, keep drawing even if that isn't the career you choose. If it makes you happy, if it makes you feel accomplished, keep it. Art produces something that stays with people when we aren't here anymore. Hope tomorrow is better.

I'm so fucking angry at myself right now.

I work for an I.T job and was speaking to a colleague who is an older man. He's one of those guys who's very intimidating simply because he knows so much. I was discussing a user problem with him that I would be able to solve today because I needed to update my machine from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and I didn't have the time.

When I said I couldn't update to Windows 10, he interrupted at said "just update to Windows 9 then". And I fucking replied "I don't have the time right now" even though I KNEW Windows 9 doesn't exist. I sincerely couldn't tell if he was joking or not and I'm too big of a pussy to call him out on it because I'm the new, young girl in the team.

Now I'm sure he thinks I'm a fucking idiot and I am so paranoid about getting that kind of reputation. It's so fucking frustrating to doubt everything you do or say at work for fear of people thinking you're a fucking idiot WHY DIDN'T I CALL HIM OUT GOD DAMNIT.

I was telling my friends that the only thing that makes me happy right now are drawing and listening to music. I started painting on my body too and it's helped soooo much, it's so therapeutic. I try to do something and post it to instragram almost once a day (if you tag there's always at least some people that will like it). This is what is getting me through things right now. You don't need a job in art to keep doing it, I changed my major from art because I figured I would be doing it either way.

His death made me think, too. Whenever I hear of someone famous committing suicide, I feel so understanding of it. I've been in some seriously bad places with my depression but not bad enough to kill myself, which makes me think there is a whole other depth that you can reach and it scares me that I could possibly get there one day.

So, just got a call from my mom saying my grandma is at her last breath of life, aka she's dying. She has been "dead" a couple of times and come back but this time it's the real thing apparently. Mom was crying a bit on the phone which made me sad but i'm not sad at my grandmother passing.

I loved her a lot and spent a lot of time with her as a kid but she got alzheimers 2 years ago and the last year she has just been a husk of a person. Could barely talk or recognize any of us. I have already mourned the loss of her a long time ago when she was moved from her home to that fucking retirement home. I just can't make myself feel sad for her death since she was already gone in my eyes when we moved out her furniture and sold her home. I'm not religious but i feel like she's in a better place now.

It's dumb, but I feel really bad about potentially throwing out this hand-me-down 80s dishware set that I grew up with. My mom gave them to me when I moved out for college, but tbh they're pretty dated– and imo–a little ugly. The matching cups are gone too because my asshole roommates obliterated them on purpose a couple years ago. My mom long ago threw out the matching mugs as well.
So I have a disjointed set of plates, butter plates, and bowls.
There's lots of scratches, some chips, and fading on most of them so they're probably not even worth my time to resell.
It just feels weird to put them in the trash when these are the dishes I've eaten off since forever.

I got square, white ceramic plates today while I visited in my mom's town, which were on discount. They're made in China, and they definitely have a mass-produced feel to them that the vintage dishware doesn't have.

That feeling isn't "mass-produced", it's "made in a country with no regulations or care for human life that produces shit-quality products as cheaply as possible with dangerous and destructive results and my sub-conscious survival instincts are begging me not to eat off of these"

I don't have an opinion on whether you should keep the old set or not, but if you don't at least shell out a little more money to by cook and dinnerware made literally anywhere else. Your dinner will be better without the lead and other chemicals leeching into it, just trust me.

I worry about how younger millenials and the next generation will turn out when reading youtube comments under videos like Yumi King's, Onision's, and other Youtubers who do questionable shit. The way their followers worship them and believe they can do no wrong is worrisome. Also the fact that they see unhealthy relationship as "goals" makes me think that they're going to end up in bad/abusive relationships. On top of that they don't seem to handle criticism and different viewpoints well at all. I hope Im wrong though and that they grow out of this shit when they become young adults.

I also worry that kids get sexualized too early, there's so much shit on the internet that's easy to access and opportunities for kids to get preyed on. There have been studies that show kids hit puberty earlier these days too, which just adds to it.

I got some random junk to get out of my system. The older I get the more I hate living in 2017, and people in general. I feel like no matter how indifferent I act to new people I meet, I still end up attracting weirdos and it's driving me insane.
At work a few weeks ago, it was the last day for this middle aged guy that every one seemed to like pretty well. He came up to my friend/coworker and I during lunch, asked for our pictures, and started going on about how he was building a BDSM whipping rack for his friends. I don't get why he told us that. We had never talked about anything like that before. He went on about how he worked in the strip club industry designing clothes, and said stuff like that I would fall flat on my face if I wore 6 inch stilettos, and called me vanilla and I feel like he kept insinuating I was sexually innocent. I was super creeped out by it, and I ended up telling a manager about.
He was the 3rd creep I've had to put up with at this job in only a few months.
And here's the thing that's really bothering me. That friend/coworker has a girlfriend and I feel like he keeps flirting with me. He's said some wierd things. Someone else remarked it seemed like he's always hitting on me, and someone else asked if we were dating.
He had asked me to hang out two times before and I just kinda ignored it because I didn't know if his girlfriend was okay with him hanging out with other girls without her there or not. Later on it seemed like she was okay with it, so when he asked to hang out last week, I said sure. It was pretty normal for the most part, we walked around while he drank several beers and he kept asking if I wanted a sip of daddy's beer. I'm not sure what he meant by that. I have a pretty hard time sometimes distinguishing between someone just joking, being friendly, or actually trying to hit on me. I want to believe he was just joking, but part of me thinks it was some attempted daddy dom meme thing wrapped in a joke; I vaguely get the feeling he's into that sort of thing bacause a couple days after the creepy old guy left, we were talking more about it. I couldn't believe that he thought it was even remotely acceptable to tell us about his bdsm rack, but he told me "nah, I was actually really interested." What…
I hadn't really thought too much about it till yesterday when he wanted to hang out again. We were going through pictures on his computer, and you could clearly tell what each photo was by the thumbnail. He enlarged one of them and I looked up, it was someone's fucking ballsack pulled out of their pants. From the looks of it it was probably taken by him or one of his friends. I was super embarrassed, but he was like "haha, oops." He showed me a bunch of YouTube videos he found, one I'd guess I'd classify as soft core bondage porn. I told him that, feeling super uncomfortable, and he just ignored me and let that video play for another minute. Another video was a sex doll sales videos, and I was like "dude, how is this on YouTube? Doesn't this violate terms?" Friends who get to know me well know get that I'm not comfortable with porn, or really sexual stuff like that. He just let the video keep playing and didn't change the video till I asked him to.
I just really wanted to get all this junk off my chest. I don't expect any advice, I would feel stupid stopping being friends because we have to work together and have another work friend in common. I want my job for awhile. I also feel like some people are just think I'm being prudish and over sensitive.

I work in a hotel so I constantly get treated like shit by costumers too, and the other manager strongly dislikes me and is very unprofessional about it.

It's strange… I can understand you btw, because I too used to have decent (not perfect) skin until this January, then a weird acne started to develop and I'm still fighting against it with some creams and soap the derm gave me, and some days I feel seriously down for it because it calmed down in the last month and now it's as if it's starting again. But there is a cure for everyone anon, is a derm following you? Have you tried accutane or retinol? We'll have clear skin again, let's just keep trying until we find the treatment that works. This is how treating acne works, you try several treatments until you spot the one that works for you. Don't do foolish things, it's not worth it for such fixable problems

A friend of mine always complained that she constantly attracted weirdos. It was because she never had the guts to say "no" in fear of being "impolite", so the creeps always took advantage of it. Creeps can recognize this type of girls pretty easily.

yeah, accutane did nothing. i did this one antibiotic that kinda worked but it all came back. i've even tried those expensive lasers. i've tried not washing my face using face wash, not wearing makeup for a month, no dairy no sugar.. everything i can think of. my sister also has cystic acne (hers is on her chin, mine is on my cheeks) and it's never gone away so i'm losing hope. but in addition to the acne my whole face is red and also covered in bumps/normal acne. i'm so tired of covering my face all the time, i know it's such a stupid reason to be depressed but it's all over my face and i can't get rid of it.
i guess the worst part for me is that i'm doing everything right and nothing is working. i haven't eaten fast food in months.. my friend literally sleeps in her makeup and has clear skin :(

Me and my friend were supposed to go thrifting today and to the art museum but since its Sunday, everything closes at 6. We decided to go today since I'll be on vacation soon and she's getting a major surgery soon so we won't be able to hang out.
I woke up at 1, finished getting ready in an hour. It's now 2:30 and she's still not awake yet.
She refuses to go anywhere without fake eyelashes and a full face of "baddie" makeup. It usually takes her 2 hours to get ready. Even if I suggest that she should hurry, it still takes forever.

Could be stress and/or hormonal related acne. I empathize anon, my mom was diagnosed with rosacea and had adult cystic acne all her life.
I have acne as well, and the only things that have ever helped, but didn't eliminate, were antibiotics and topical creams. I stopped doing the antibiotics because I'm afraid of resistance. No skincare regimen has ever made a huge difference. My back is a scarred disgrace and I get extreme hyperpigmentation aka redness. My pores are ironically really small but I feel like that only makes them susceptible to being clogged easily by keratin and sebum.

So my new go-to is dousing my face with benzoyl peroxide cream. It works and makes it so I can go outside without makeup save for some concealer on some of the red dots.
But it does make my face extremely dry and sometimes itchy. Yet it's the only way. I combine it with some moisturizer in order to combat the effects. I'm not blemish free, but at least it doesn't make me feel like I'm dirty or have a skin disease.

I keep distancing myself from my IRL friends and spending all my time talking to my online friends. I don't even know why. My real life friends are cool and I like them and they like me back, but I keep making excusds whenever they ask to hang out to the point where they don't even ask anymore.

These days my friends were saying "how can someone like you be single, you have to make a tinder blah blah blah", so I created one, again. Big mistake. I have to carry all the conversations by myself, come up with subjects to talk about, and I'm always the one who is making effort. If I try to let the girls come up with something to say they don't say anything and the conversation dies. After a while it tears your self-esteem apart.

I just don't understand, I'm not a 8/10 looking super sociable guy but I'm not a 3/10 robot loser with no direction in life, either, and I'm far from being the kind of guy that gets posted in the "terrible exes" thread as well. Surely, some girl out there would like to date me, but it's like they're doing me a favor just by talking to me. Well, serves me right, I was happy this year just studying, hanging out with my friends, and doing my stuff, and then did something I knew would only hurt me.

i was on accutane for 6 months. while there was improvement, it did come back. i only have acne on my face, not anywhere else.. it's definitely not stress because my life is pretty stress free besides some regular highschool drama but i've never really felt stressed (besides the whole stress of acne).

my skin is really close to this girl's but just on a different part of my face. i've actually talked to her about it and it's the same as me, where it'll get better but never really go away.

6 months is nothing. you usually take it for a lot longer. I only had super mild cystic pimples - like not even the whole face, just 4-5 at a time and only around my period. I had a very low dose because the acne wasnt as bad (20 mg/day) and Ive taken it for 9 months. I still get pimples now, but theyre not super deep in the skin and infected, but only small ones at the surface of the skin.
weirdly enough it also improved my acne inversa, although it is said it's no use for it.

I know he already feels bad, but seeing him feel humiliated and in light to moderate pain would make me feel like he's finally hurting like I am too.
And no, were not going to break up over what he did, he didn't cheat on me etc. I'm very bitter and wanting revenge is part of my personality, unfortunately, so idk what to do.

youre implying that what he did wasn't too serious, so i'm just concerned what youre going to do when something serious does come up?
you need to take this situation to learn how to manage your emotions. It's fine to be upset even after saying it's forgiven. Forgiveness is a process, not just a "yeah its fine" and then suddenly you forget all about it. So take the time to be upset, let that heal you, learn to trust him again and trust that he won't do it. and just let him know that although you're still sad you still love him and maybe let him know ways that he can help. Yes it may make you feel better in the moment to see him humiliated, but is that really what you want? I feel like that behaviour will turn into just doing things to spite him everytime you're upset at something he's done no matter how big or small just to -get even-
Fighting is tough especially if you're pretty new to it, and everyone has their own way of doing it, but i think getting even is just stupid.
Focus on learning how to actually forgive and let go.

im so fed up with an internet friend of mine. Weve never actually met but face timed a few times. she always dumps her shit by me and I always try to give her elaborated advice. Since im experienced as a patient in psychotherapy plus psychology major postgraduate I know a lot and think I can give good advice. Still im not counselling her, but it's a friendship. And each and everytime I talk to her about over some of my issues she only goes like "oh mh. I dont really know." or "Hm. I have no idea." Like only that and nothing more and I finally have enough.

Now in the past few weeks she exaggerates her mental state a lot, like everytime she is annoyed or sad about something it's a "mental breakdown". Furthermore I know her for around 4-5 years and she never went to psychotherapy even though she has major issues. She also whines about her family every week, without making any effort to move or change schools to a different city (it would be possible). So ive finally had enough and told her that self-pity isnt going to bring her any further, but she finally needs to change things she moans about.

Now she's blocked me (again) on whatsapp and Im thinking of blocking her too, so when she finally decides she "needs" me as a dumpyard again she wont be able to get through.

My only irl friend decided I wasn't good enough for her. I would get so fucking angry (I wouldn't confront her because I didn't want to be clingy, or cause drama) because she NEVER texted me, called me, or asked to hang out. I had to do all the fucking leg work in the relationship, it felt like a chore, most of the time she was never interested in anything I said, she seemed a bit bothered when he hung out (tho I am rlly socially anxious so the bothered thing might be me projecting) so I would rarely text her or ask her to hang because I felt like a bother, but sometimes we would have so much fun just shooting the breeze that I really didn' t care about the negatives.

So after helping her with her closing duties at work (aka staying late out of my own free will, not even getting payed) I finally said something.

I asked her why she didn't ever text me or ask to hang out.

Then she said in a shitty little tone, "I dont't know, why don't YOU start the conversation?" Now, I am pretty quick to get annoyed and angry and this shit nearly sent me to the moon, because like I said I'M the one making the first move every time, but because I enjoyed our friendship when she decided to actually be my friend, I kept it inside and tried to poke fun.

I just said, "You hang out with Amy all the time, though!" Just kind of light hearted and chuckling, she really didn't say anything back. (Amy is this girl she's friends with that she has no problem actually communicating with. Not her real name btw.)

So fast foward like a week or so, she keeps gushing about how Amy is sooo funny, Amy did this Amy did that, Maria did this, Maria did that (Maria is her OTHER friend shes got no trouble talking to and hanging out with, also not her real name.) And so I've had enough fucking bullshit so I'm over here pretty much nearly seething, on the outside I'm like… oh how cool!…trying to be okay and not telling that bitch how fucking pathetic she is crawling back to those two cunts after they excluded her for the longest time.

Okay, so I just quit trying to text her. A few weeks passed.

Now its yesterday, the bitch ignored me completely outright, so I guess shes okay having her old two timing bitch ass friends back.

I put my two weeks in yesterday as well. She actually hooked me up with the shitty ass job. It just felt wrong to keep working there when working there also made me miserable. So now it's job hunting season.

It's fucking insanely hard for me to ease up to people because I've been through some shit like this before (one "friend" dumped my ass and told me to kill myself when I was struggling through really tough depression and had previously attempted suicide, another one would punch me and kick me and fuck if it didn't hurt, then giggle "that's what friends do")

I thought she was different. She was shy and funny and not rude at all, until, well…

Any advice, besides telling me to stop being a pushover or a pussy, etc.?

Sorry for the fucking novel lol.

Ngl anon, seems like you struggle with a lot of self worth. Perhaps it really is your insecurities that makes it feel like she doesn't like you as much, when really she's just enjoying your time together or maybe she can sense your on edge so it made things a little awkward.
You also sound a bit bitter/jealous over her other friends. Had you all ever hung out together before?
Some people just click naturally better with others and unfortunately that's out of anyone's control.
I've been on the other side of this so maybe it's possible she just didn't realize she was making you feel this way… replying to her with something like "you don't have a problem texting Amy!" Or w.e it was you said probably wasn't smart and sounded bitter, something like "I just worry I bother you by texting you first all the time" would've been better and more inviting for a conversation about how you feel about things. If she's really valuable to you as a friend maybe try messaging her, apologize for the way you acted and maybe explained that it was brought on by your hurt feelings by feeling like youre not as close friends as you want to be. That way you're not putting blame on her - which would cause her to put blame on you and have a fight etc.

Yeah, unfortunately I have a lot of insecurities. And yeah I'm really bitter I guess. When she stopped hanging around the two of them, she hung out more with me and it was fun. It just… makes me angry how she kind of used me as a place holder, y'know? She knows the person I am. I guess I can't fault her for getting tired.

And no, I never hung out with her friends. I'm scared of being the fourth wheel while they have fun. Which would definitely happen. I guess this was another chapter in my life. I'm still bitter…like, way bitter. I also bungled stuff up because when I said 'stopped trying to text her' I meant I tried texting her but she's never replied so I stopped (sorry for that, got carried away I guess), and I don't think she'd respond now after so long, I also dont want any drama at work since shes close to our boss and sort of… goes and cries to him when shes upset. I just need to better myself, I think, and try to be more outgoing and focus on my mental health since it has kinda went down the shitter as of late lol.

I just thought about it and I mean I already put my two weeks in, I guess this would be the best time to talk about my feelings next time we work together when we aren't so busy. It won't be my preferred place to confront her but I don't see her outside of work anymore and she won't text me. So maybe it will all have been a misunderstanding or she really doesn't want to be my friend. But either way, I'm definitely going to better myself! Thanks for responding, anon :)

i'm so tired of my insomnia. i try to have a good sleep schedule and i try fixing it all the time, but i have racing and repeating thoughts and even when i get them to stop, i still can't fall asleep. the only thing that can get me to sleep are over-the-counter sleeping pills, and those are starting to not work. i watch a lot of asmr before bed to try and mellow me out, but even then, it only works thirty percent of the time. i can't afford to see a doctor. i've had this problem since childhood. i don't know how the fuck people are able to just hit the bed and be out in minutes. i've never experienced that before unless i was thoroughly drained. i just want to sleep.

apparently my bf's coworker saw a pic of me and called me ugly (or rather, said he could "do better") and now i'm bummed out. i totally agree with him, but it still hurts to hear.

my bf didn't seem to think it was a big deal and tried to reassure me - apparently this guy is some anime obsessed retard who sexually harasses women at work - but if i'm not even attractive to a loser virgin then i must be really fuckin ugly lmao.

I'm dealing with squatters next door and two days ago the electric company cut their power. What sucks is that is a group of drugged/ mentally unstable people with two pit bulls hat they keep unleashed every now and then and there's a 3 year old girl that is the cutest thing I ever seen. Also one of the men in that group couldn't take his eyes from me to the point that I can't get my mail anymore or leave the house without my husband.

What should I do? I feel like I'm in jail and that is killing me. I'm too scared for my safety as other neighs are too but seems like only the owner of the property can kick them out. Should I call cps or cops to at least help the kid? They don't have electric and today the whole group was outside the house because was too damn hot. The girl is clearly being neglected. I found information on the internet that the house was sold by the marshals but they won't give the contact of who bought it. This situation has really put a big toll in my relationship an de also hurt rob see a kid being neglected as myself also been in that situations. I'm sorry. I'm too overwhelmed and scared of calling the cops and get harassed. Anyone can comment on this?

im so fucking needy/clingy and anxious when it comes to my bf. hes the best and most patient dude in the fucking world to deal with me, and every now and again i feel normal and happy and don't let things get me down, but a few days of that i start to worry and get anxious that hes gonna get tired of me or that im annoying etc etc, then start getting worried that he's gonna get annoyed with the fact that its a constant cycle. nothing triggers it except feeling vulnerable i guess….i hate myself for it, cant tell if i just need to get my shit together or if im actually crazy or i guess both? idk

…And then call CPS so you don't get charged with kidnapping. Say she just wandered into your property and those crazies next door aren't taking care of her and so on.

Least we remember that even though they are druggie scum, they are (probably) under the mistaken impression that they can care for their three-year-old. Which is still, as far as we know, theirs. Taking their kid escalates things.

And no, they won't go to the police, they'll take up pipes and chains and settle their grievance more directly.

I don't know what happened but I think I don't love my boyfriend anymore…
We used to live together up until six month ago when he had to leave for his studies, at first it was difficult and I cried a lot but I got used to it and I even grew "bored" of him.
Now I dread the week end when I know I'm going to see him because I don't really want to be sexual with him anymore. I enjoy being with him and doing various activities but as soon as he try kissing me or touching my whole body cringe. It make me sad because I still feel strongly connected to him but I just can't be touched by him, it make me so uncomfortable. I also can't say "I love you" sincerely anymore, everytime it's incredibly unnatural for me. I think that's the end of our relationship then.

I'm not taking their kid. HELL NO!
That's one of the things that is hold me of calling cps. Since the dogs charged me and m husband they have been more watchful and yesterday for exemple the whole group was staring at us when we came back from the gym. And th y had the dogs on leash. The problem is this now, we have a group of homeless druggies staring at us. I feel so much more paranoid. I honestly lost my "daaawww" effect over the kid and may call the cps to scare them since complaining to our landlord is not doing anything about the situation and like I said they are not only bother us, but other 3 neighboring families too. I'm glad I found out that I can make anonymous reports on them for the child neglect.

Mine and my boyfriend's fights really get out of hand sometimes. He taunts me and is so fucking mean and cruel, sometimes I just can't take it. I haven't lost it like I did last night in about a year though. I flipped a table, smashed a glass out of his hand and while intending to grab him I scratched him up pretty horribly. Like awfully. I was so mad while grabbing him I didn't even know it happened. He later attacked me too, but didn't leave any marks. I feel so depressed. I know I should leave, but I can't. I never meant to hurt him like that.

Give a call to cps, they'll at least have a look at the kid. Don't put too much hope into tho, they pretty much do something only if there are physical proof of abuse (bruises, broken bones, frequent UTI's).

I guess it's more rebound effect than proper withdrawals, I guess. It's really feels like withdrawals though : intense headache behind the eyes, really sore muscles, upset stomach.

Last night I read an article on Wired about a girl who had a cyberstalker since she was 12 that was always truing to get her fired by posting letters to her bosses or ruin her irl friendships by pretending to be her and saying horrible things. It reminded me of the stalker that I had from 12-19 but made me realize how lucky I was that it never progressed and he gave up eventually
And then today I logged into an old account and saw that he had messaged me 2 days ago, the first time in maybe 4 years. It's just too much of a weird coincidence, and also makes me uneasy that he could still sometimes be cyberstalking me after I thought it was over. I'm still thankful he's just a lurker rather than the psychotic type that tries to interact or influence.

>I know I should leave, but I can't.
Do you actually have a reason other than the cliche 'but wen its gud its reel gud so love overcums all' that you can't leave? If it's at this stage already and you're only young then break up, but if you're a LDR locked into a mortgage or something then try couples counselling first.

do you know what you like?
If not: write the things down you love and enjoy.
For example:
Animals, music, drawing, telling stories, antique furniture or whatever.
It's not always easy to know what you like. Ask yourself if you like random things and listen to your heart.

And then you can think about one thing you really enjoy and turn it into a hobby.

I hope that helps a bit. I have the same problem

I fucking hate migraine. Even though I take the specific med, it just leaves me sleepy (but not the good type of sleepy) and numb the entire day and even the day after. During migraine days I also cry without a reason (not even in pain, since I'm not) and the last time I had a panic attack out of the blue, while being half asleep on the couch.
I feel the strongest jealousy towards anyone who doesn't suffer from migraine.

Last night I had this dream again where I'm slated to voluntarily die a la euthanasia style in a hospital. In the dream I try to pretend like I'm choosing it, but it's usually another person or entity coercing me into it (ie. my mom, gov't). It's the second time I've had a dream like this, and I don't recall ever having dreams like it before.
Last night it felt like my mom was driving me to it. I was writing final goodbye papers and legal release documents, when my stepdad appeared and I asked him if he wanted me to die. He seemed so happy that I didn't, and then I wondered why nobody else in my dream asked me what I wanted.
I woke up disturbed because in my dreamspace I was dealing with anxiety and dread emotions for what was probably hours irl.

What the fuck.

I don't know if you have tried it already but someone I got to know had migraines all the time and really bad ones.
She got this piercing because it's supposed to help with Migraines (not everyone of course)
But it really helped her and she has them less now and not as extreme as before she got the piercing.
It's worth a shot I guess.

I broke up with my girlfriend a month ago, the thing I really miss is smelling her.

Smelling her armpits or pussy got me really hard, I would smell her panties while jacking off or before lifting weights for the testosterone boost to increase my lifts (home gym).

I think I got addicted to smelling the female pheromones, and now I went cold turkey.

I know they sell used panties online but that's kind of disgusting because I know they fuck other guys and probably have an STD.(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)

Recently, I switched insurance and had to go from a specialist to a regular doctor who refused to perscribe me medication that two separate doctors wanted me on. I finally got her to agree to it but when I went to the pharmacy yesterday suddenly I had to switch pharmacies because of my insurance despite them giving me birth control a month earlier. The old pharmacy said that they also couldn't refill my bc because it's too early. Now this new pharmacy won't give me a bc refill because my insurance apparently won't cover it and I'm about to run out. So annoying.
And when I asked them why they gave me it last month the girl said "oh it changed last month" but I heard her manager say "they stopped covering it a long time ago" a minute before so she bullshitted me to my face.

I wouldn't mind paying for my birth control but I didn't think it was over $100. I just wish there was a more organized system and I didn't have to play phone tag everyday.
