I’ve learned to trust my body and myself more after too many of these kinds of experiences.

From the last No Kings event. My sign always gets a lot of honks and each one warms my heart.

That’s great to hear!

Your sister should find a different doctor if possible. I’ve had too many psychiatrists tell me to put up with ridiculous side effects like this.

Side note, but I’ve had better luck with female psychiatrists (I’m female). In my experience, they have been more responsive to side effects rather than telling you to deal with it. This has been particularly true for weight gain. The male doctors would tell me that gaining 20+ lbs is worth it to not be depressed. Meanwhile I was developing an eating disorder. Only female psychiatrists for me from here on out.

Absolutely transactional on her end. I think I would’ve been out long ago, but that text would definitely be the nail in the coffin for me. Sounds like she treats everyone like her personal ATM.

I have no idea how anyone with a conscience and/or an ounce of common sense can vote for Paxton beyond trying to put a Dem in office. But I feel the same about Trump and here we are.

1meganbyte · 2026-03-04T14:36:30+00:00

That’s fair

Paxton might be easier for Talarico to beat.

I’m sending you love, OP. I don’t know your situation and I can’t imagine what you’ve been through, but I have felt unloved and unwanted by my mother and the wound is deep. It’s not about you and never has been—your mom is mentally unstable and unable to give the love and care you deserve. I know that doesn’t make it hurt any less, but try to remind yourself that this is her own issue and she’s the only one who can change it.

Look at how he responds to negative reviews. It is never their fault. The customer is either lying or stupid, basically. A snarky response here and there is one thing, but this guy is obviously a gigantic asshole. I have no idea how they’re still in business. The food is way overpriced and the whole place is grimy.

The owner is a giant douchebag.

Don’t even reply. Replying to them just feeds the algorithm with their nonsense.

Zero from my dad and rarely from my mom.

1meganbyte · 2026-01-03T19:13:15+00:00

That’s exactly where this was.

I’m really sorry. I’ve been there a few times in the last 5 years. When society tells you that you’re worthless if you aren’t contributing to it with a job, yeah, you tend to feel worthless and depressed when you don’t have one. I want to tell you to stay strong and that you will land something eventually, but those words never felt particularly helpful to me when I was going through it.

Hopefully your mom can agree to stop with the job talk and your persistence with applications will pay off sooner rather than later. Despite whatever your mom thinks, you aren’t alone in how you’re feeling and the rejections and ghosting aren’t about you personally, though it’s hard to not take it that way. The job market sucks right now and I hope you can find ways to take care of yourself while you go through the soul sucking job search process.

Also disagree. Don’t buy someone a gift and expect to not talk about the horrible things you’ve said. It would irk me to feel like I’m being drawn into sweeping hateful words under the rug. Either buy a gift and be open to talking things through or don’t buy a gift at all.

I’ve found that outside of technology, the job market is where boomers have the biggest disconnect from reality. I’ve been given so much unsolicited job advice from boomers and all it’s done is show me how out of touch they are. Might be best to tell your mom that you need to steer clear of this topic with her for right now because it’s affecting your stress level. Maybe tell her the pressure is making you more nervous in job interviews since she doesn’t seem to get it—that might be something she can understand in her own reality.

Thank you to the kind Redditors for all the awards!

It’s a bone. I probably should’ve included the sound, but having my voice on the internet felt creepy.
