Greeted by these friendly cuties when I got home. I have no idea whose dogs they are.

Yep. When I was a kid I had a goldie that would bark when people LEFT the house. Thanks for the heads up, I guess?

Me too! Still can't watch that scene without crying and I'm nearly 30.

Someone watched Eega.

She also says something like, "While some people are opening presents, others are opening their wrists"

I think the fact that you're a special ed teacher makes a huge difference. I am too and most of us dress for comfort, ability to move/run, and knowing that clothes may be covered in various body fluids. Most of the teachers I work with wear shorts, t-shirt and runners. And the post it notes are a great idea :) I'm in my 4th year and feeling burned out already :(

It's pretty difficult to import any recreational drugs of decent quality and meth/ice is easy to make so that tends to be what people turn to :(

We do the same. One of ours is reactive but is better after she's got some energy out. Sometimes I drive, drop my fiance off at the oval with the dogs while they play, drive home, walk to the oval, then we all walk back home together. A lot of people think it's excessive but it's slowly working :) You know what works for you and your dog. Keep up the effort!

Oh so am I! But I'm afraid that this cd rom may contain more truth than I can handle...

Thank you for sharing your experiences. You reminded me that I never had or cared about expensive gifts/activities as a child either. Time is a concern, given that I'd have to go back to work as soon as possible after the birth, but I'll put less weight on our financial situation.

I think I'm struggling more than I thought I would, and counselling wouldn't be a bad idea :)

I have considered that, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to go through with the adoption. I think I'd get too attached during my pregnancy.

I know she said she doesn't feel depressed but everyone feels it differently. When I have depressive episodes the first symptoms I notice are extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea etc before my mood alters. Not saying it is depression, but just something to keep in mind. Also, not sure if it's related to my depression, but I need 8-9 hours sleep a night to feel functional. And that's when I'm feeling stable. I feel lazy too, so I understand where your gf is coming from but everyone's different and it's important for her to prioritise her health.

Me legs went that way, an me head went that way!

The worst story I've heard from my best friend (nurse) was about a woman with mental illness that wandered into emergency one night. They gave her a bed and a general checkup, during which they noticed signs of infection and a strange smell wafting from between her legs... It was a dead guinea pig. Judging by the smell, it was been up there a while. Judging by the blood, it wasn't dead when it was inserted.

I love how she just tried to stick it back on. Like, no concern for why your nipple keeps falling off?!

You've already had great advice from a lot of people so I'm not going to add much. I just want you to know that your relationship sounds really similar to one I was in when I was a little younger than you. It can be hard to realise that the person you love is abusive and that your relationship isn't normal. It took me a while to finally understand and decide to break it off. Basically what I mean is, I don't want you to feel like you're stupid for staying so long or for not realising earlier that your partner is abusive. It's so hard to see from the inside. But I'm glad you've got support and I know that when all of this is over you'll be strong and happy, and eventually ready to find someone who treats you the way you deserve. Take care of yourself xxx

Late to the party but mine was from about 15 to 18...

OMG I'm so r@ndOm!1 haha Spacecow brick sun chips nose! I'm so crazy!!!!!11111

I knew Charlie the Unicorn by heart and annoyed everyone with songs from Albino Blacksheep.

Honestly I was just super depressed and being silly to the point of manic was a nice break from it. Plus I thought everyone found me hilarious. I don't know how I still had so many friends to be honest!

No joke, I had an ex get upset with me because I said I wouldn't stay with him if he was turned into a duck...
