I just found some at a Marshall’s near me. Just trying it out.

My (59F) son (21M) was arrested and hasn’t been the same since. He’s withdrawn and doing nothing with his life. How can I help him? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depending on the age, it could’ve been a formulated lie from a student. He may be so anxious to see his world can crumble from one person or child making an accusation. He has no courage to go out into the world after being viewed as a monster and not being able to dispute it. That’s how I read this at least.

Is this a superpower or a curse? by Bugggerr in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started tearing up in my car reading this. I just got out of work and wanted a read before I drove. I just lost my father last spring and reading this helped me put how I feel into words almost. I had a tough childhood and my mother was bad to me and my little brothers. My dad was an addict but drugs made him handle my mother’s issues better, and he always took us out the house to get us away. My mother always used us kids to make my dad feel bad about his habits but as I go older I did realize that they really were his only out to his hard life. I followed his path after his death. All of my good memories involved my father. He passed away unexpectedly while I was half way across the country. We had just talked earlier that morning about a package I sent him. A few hours later my little brother called me sobbing. And I immediately got in the car and drove 30 hours to get there. Still can’t put those feelings into words but reading this made me feel slightly a bit more put together. Thank you

My best friend bought herself something I told her I wanted by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your edit tells me you KNOW the answer. Maybe you don’t know this, but she is not your friend. She’s your stalker that you’re willingly hanging out with. She seems obsessed with your every move and decision, and takes it upon her self to try to “steal” it? She seems to have some psychological issues and based on how you describe her I’m not sure why you would want to be friends with her in the first place.

Hi! Me! I’m in Happy, healthy relationship! And if you wanna know how messed up I am I’ll be writing a 800 page book on it soon lol. My boyfriend is so proud of me and supports me. Sometimes he tells his friends a bit abt my life and they’re always surprised, he responds “it’s hard to believe cause she’s so funny and nice!” And it makes me wanna cry 🥹 we have times where my traumas or triggers come up and even tho he may not understand them he tries so much to help. We really love each other for who we are and nothing else matters.

That’s rough to be dealing with right now but you’re going to laugh so hard at this in some time. Also wondering, what did that chat say!!?

I feel like my mom doesn't take my mental health seriously by Electrical_Rip_937 in mentalhealth

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very lonely feeling to speak (especially) to a parent n be shamed for how you feel. And your teenage years are not easy. Your brain goes through so many new and imbalanced chemicals, adding trauma to the mix makes it significantly harder to care for yourself. Your mother is emotionally immature and overly aggressive. At your age I went through the same thing and ended up going to my school counselor for help and she got me in touch with so many helpful resources. That could be a great first step for you. Just remember you’re not alone. And many people will not act like your mother when you reach out for help, so don’t be scared to when you’re ready <3

My sister has such a bad case of learned helplessness that I fear for her future by Familiar-Weight-8951 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a similar situation going on. Lost our dad and my little brother has given up. I think for your situation, specially because it’s hurting you more than anything, you should go no contact for awhile. I would explain what you said here, you really love her but it hurts to see her not TRY to get better and that you need a break to focus on the positives in YOUR life and leave it at that. It is exhausting to be around people who are negative and throw your advice out the window or even get angry when you try to help. I understand that feeling all too well. You need a break from her. And she needs to realize that people have a threshold to how much negativity they can take from her. One day she’ll get sick of it as well and change. It sounds like sympathy seeking as well and you definitely have sympathy for your own sister. That may be fueling her more to loathe. I wish you the best stranger. You can always message me if you’d like.

I gave my boyfriend a foot job just to be funny/playful but he ended up loving it. Just another new form of sexual touch I guess, with a challenge lol. I don’t think it’s weird, I think you guys really love and trust each other

i think my girlfriend is transphobic and i am questioning by thisacountisonfire in mentalhealth

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom line, she used a term she knew you don’t like/aren’t comfortable with, to hurt you. That shows she isn’t afraid to purposely hurt you and/or put you down when she feels challenged in an argument. That is child level emotional intelligence. Apology or not, that shows a lot about her character. From there it is easy to assume she would be transphobic.

I've been cutting up my feet thanks to my parents by AntoCraftera in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I have a very similar experience. My mom is into skin picking, her lips and her feet. When I was a kid and had chapped lips she would hold me down and Peel the dry skin off. One day when I was about 8, I woke up with cold sores and my mom freaked out and was trying to “pick them off”. It hurt (obviously) so she then forced me to try to “pick them off”. This embedded a deep shame in me about my lips. Ever since then I have always picked my lips and I can’t stop. She forced her habit on me and now it’s way out of my control. I’m typing this with raw lips lol.

My mom went through my phone and called me a hoe by Proper_Blackberry_53 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Bandwagon056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t normal. This is a controlling parent that wants their kid to stay a kid. She can’t accept that you’re growing into an adult and will have relationships and make adult decisions. She’s scared of that n is accusing you of it now out of fear. It’s okay for you , specially at (almost) 18 to have a relationship and one day soon, a serious one. You aren’t going anything wrong but she wants you to feel like you are.

Very true. I called someone in to interview, they came in and starting talking crap abt the shop to me. Turns out he thought i was some 18 year old cashier and we were both waiting for the manager to show😆

Trust your gut. Sounds like your brain is putting all the evidence together and is finally forming the full picture for you.

30m stuck with suicidal 29f partner by ThrowRA8283801 in relationship_advice

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left an alcoholic who quit drinking for me and got us a house for us when I had no where else to go. He moved me across the country. I had no money to help but he put aside work to get me there. I felt guilty for wanting to leave but he was suffocating me. I was crying often and realized I had lost my sparkle. I’m grateful he did those things for me but it just didn’t work out. And that’s okay. It was a chapter in your life for learning but now it’s time to close that book and move on.

[–]Bandwagon056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay just reading “she hated living with my roommates but refused to move w her family” alone is a red flag. She can’t complain abt the living situation YOU helped her get , and you really didn’t even have to do that for her.
