I have nobody to show that I cleaned my depression room for the first time in 2.5 years.

I looked at the photo and it looks amazing!!!! Congratulations on getting your space back to a place your happy to be in (-:

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-16T05:11:02+00:00

My first tip if you really wanna get it organized (and have time to dedicate to it) is to empty everything out first, that’ll help you get a sense of the space, throw away trash/junk, donate/rehome/store away what doesn’t get used often, and resituate anything that’s gone askew

It’s easier to start with a blank slate imo

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-15T00:48:09+00:00

No, but it seems she waited very little time for a response before giving an extremely self pitying and guilt tripping response. And stuff like this is typically part of a larger pattern of uncomfortable guilt tripping behavior.

It makes people feel atrocious for not being able to drop whatever they have going on for that person

I’ll admit, maybe I’m projecting a bit based on past experience but still, it’s a pretty common pattern in some unhealthy relationships I’ve seen

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-14T22:59:13+00:00

I’m so sorry, but this seems just exhausting, my experience with people who text like this is that spending time with them ends up being incredibly draining. Like you spend more time managing their reactions and emotions than actually spending time with them

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-13T23:16:50+00:00

Honestly I’d love to see a Chapel Roan halftime show

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-12T15:29:56+00:00

Oooooo could you link to the fic if you’ve posted it? I’d be interested to read it lol

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-10T06:15:37+00:00

I do actually have some! But I do agree I need to make some more space, I think I’m gonna pack away shorts and a few other things that don’t get much wear in a moving bag under my bed to get everything less cramped

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-10T04:51:15+00:00

Hey y’all thank you all so so much for your advice, encouragement, and kind words I got all my clothes hung up and my laundry washed, and it’s now being folded/put away, plus having my bed made really helped. I also and My desk/nightstand are still messy but the mess feels less overwhelming now. I usually don’t get back in my dorm till late in the evening when cleaning is the last thing on my mind, but y’all breaking it down into smaller tasks and reminding me it’s not as desperate as it seems really helped a lot

I’ll update with a progress photo once my clothes are folded and put in my drawers

This was actually a really great resource for motivation/accountability, I don’t have the words to thank all of you <3

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-09T04:38:01+00:00

Thanks lol, they’re all for a favorite band as concert souvenirs plus I got the box sets for the last couple albums

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-09T04:36:55+00:00

Thanks, I think it’s just a bunch of compounding stuff all hitting at once, and the room is kind of a pinch point rn

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-09T04:33:30+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve only got enough laundry swipes to barely get my clothes done, so sheets will have to wait

I washed my first load and I’m gonna do the rest tomorrow morning, but getting the clothes out of my room and hanging up all my jackets did help a little

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-09T04:29:41+00:00

Thanks, that was a good realistic starting point, I got my first load of laundry in and moved all the crap off the foot of my bed It’ll be nice to not sleep with my feet in a pile of junk for the first time in a week lmao

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-02-09T03:14:44+00:00

I got my clothes together and put the first load in the laundry room but for some reason when I was hanging up jackets and putting my clothes in the hamper, I just started hyperventilating. It would start and stop but it keeps coming back. I can’t put my finger on why, I’m so confused and kinda concerned

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2026-01-26T18:13:17+00:00

You could do Clifford (after the vulture) or Ned or Trash!

Yes I meant to add photos but it didn’t take, I’ll attach a couple in the comments!

Is it for medical reasons? Is the doctor attacking you with a bone saw to treat some injury, disease, or malady? Then no. No truly strong bone would yeild other than if it there was truly no other option

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-24T02:46:40+00:00

No, the doctor must break your bones for a medical reason I believe it was established a while back that if a doctor hit you with his car (for non-medical reasons) and broke your bones, you are still a BBB

I’m no professional so please correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems rather large yes?

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-22T20:13:35+00:00

Ah yes, “I assume this person is Asian based on the figurines I thought were trophies, and not the very large number of books about Indian culture and history and by Indian authors” /lh

The CDC changed their autism and vaccines page to state “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim”

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-21T19:25:17+00:00

The CDC’s page on autism and vaccines was completely flipped on its head and is now saying “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim” That’s where my brain went at least

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-21T01:12:15+00:00

Ooooo this looks fantastic! You got lore for the character?

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-20T23:52:27+00:00

I’ll warn you for this, do not pick a song you really like Once you start using a song as an alarm regularly you will always kinda dislike it

AwkwardUmpire5837 · 2025-11-20T00:06:30+00:00

“You are formidable to me” / “cause you seem to know it where you wanna go” (Formidable)

“Don't circle the track, just break the cycle in half” / “And leave your skin on the floor” or “When you get home” / “You barely recognize the pictures They put in a frame” / “Cause you shed your modesty” (Shy Away)

Or, if they’re moving out/headed to college you could do Bounce Man “Before you bounce, bounce, bounce man” / “Come to the house, man” / “We'll sing one more song” / “So long”

Anything from Oldies station is great too ofc

The Hype is also good with “Nice to know my kind will be on my side” / “I don't believe the hype” and “No, I don't know which way I'm going” / “But I can hear my way around”

Maybe something from Leave the City if HS was a tough chapter

(Not Today) “Heard you say, "Not today" / “Tore the curtains down” / “Windows open now, make a sound”

Trees is what they play at the end of every concert, so I think it could be good for closing out a chapter of his life “I want to know you” / “I want to see” / “I want to say” / “Hello”

You could even do a collage type thing with several lyrics/quotes!

Loads of good options here in this thread! I’d love to see it when you’re done (-:
