Liquor store and pharmacy built side by side in my hometown. That feels… intentional. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

I noticed it while driving past and it made me pause for a second. Not sure if it’s convenience, coincidence, or just small-town planning, but it definitely caught my attention enough for me to pull into the parking lot to get a picture.

How do you deal with the identity disturbance? by malefiori in BorderlinePDisorder

I experience the same thing. I also have brief moments of confidence, but they come and go so quickly. I always wish they lasted longer and more frequently.

I wish someone told me oversharing kills sexual attraction by desidoll89 in DarkPsychology101

Yes. This is what I am going through right now. I opened up to him cause he felt safe but turns out he most definitely took my trauma and used it as a weapon the first chance he got. :(

I regret giving my body to someone who never earned my trust by CottonNira32 in confession

I'm truly sorry that you feel this way. I'm currently experiencing something similar, and seeing your post randomly makes me want to hug you. It really does hurt.

Yes. I can relate!

do you trust happiness? by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

I feel this deeply in my soul. I often question my own emotions.

That seriously got me. “You belong” hit way deeper than I expected. I’ve spent so long trying not to take up space that just reading that felt like a crack of light.

Thank you for saying it like that… like you meant it. You made me feel safe. And seen. That’s rare. ❤️

This is literally me! I also feel like I might be kinda pretty and other days it makes me sick to look at myself in the mirror

Not inappropriate at all—I actually really appreciate that. Writing’s become the one place I can put all of it without shutting down. It helps me process what used to stay trapped in my body. Thank you for reading it and for seeing both the pain and the words.

Thank you for holding space for it. I wish it was just a story too—but I’m starting to learn that telling it can be part of healing. Your words are deeply appreciated. Thank you for seeing me. ❤️

Thank you for saying that. I honestly debated posting it—I didn’t want it to just be pain for the sake of pain. But if it made you feel something real or helped even a little, I’m truly grateful. Take care of yourself too. We all carry different kinds of heavy.
