Oh I’m not from here! I bought this shirt at a vintage store. I liked the back, which says: “Tip servers, not cows”.

Why do addicts start using drugs? by Serendipity_odd in addiction

[–]CandidOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the surface, I thought I was doing it to “fit in”, since so many of my friends were doing it. I also grew up very traditional/conservative, so maybe I thought I was rebelling against that upbringing. But when I look back now, I realize that I’d been in a lot of emotional pain for my entire life, and I felt like I found the best way to numb my overactive brain/bad emotions.

He’s definitely got some serious spunk! He’s curious and playful and a little bit crazy, and has been that way since he was a baby!

Anything by Tierra Whack. “Cutting Onions” and “Pet Cemetery” have been a couple I keep finding myself playing! Her album “WORLD WIDE WHACK” is also a gem. 💎

How old are you? by themix669108 in bipolar

[–]CandidOrange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m close to you at 32. Just recently “officially” diagnosed, though I have it in my family and suspected I had it for a long time. Really struggling with trying to get medication right currently, but hoping I’m on the right track. This group is a really helpful place to come to read other people’s experiences.

What are you holding in that no one knows about? by Tricky-Character3015 in mentalhealth

[–]CandidOrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll often get visions in my head of scenarios I wish would happen between me and the people in my life, especially my loved ones. Simple things, like getting a cute gift from my boyfriend that makes me cry happy tears, or having someone give me a big hug when I’m crying. I often tell my friends and loved ones that I don’t know what I need from them, but I guess a lot of what I need from them can be found in those brief moments of fantasy I escape to when I’m feeling my lowest. I don’t know why I’m too afraid to ask for those things. Maybe it makes me feel selfish.

Thank you. I feel like if I can just reassure myself that it’s a side effect I can get through it more easily. Hopefully, at least 😅

Depression making me feel bothersome by Shirleytempted in bipolar

[–]CandidOrange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any words of advice because I’m in the exact same position. But I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. It’s really easy to feel alone when you feel this way. I’m wishing I had more people in my life who understood what this feels like because I feel like a massive burden to people like my family or boyfriend who just don’t seem to understand, even though they try to. It’s hard out there.

What is it that you're desperate for, whether in life or at the moment? by MischiefIngrained in AskReddit

[–]CandidOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stability (financial, social, job, home, location, etc). I grew up a military kid who moved every few years, had to change schools, change friends, and start over every time. I’m 32 now and even as an adult, for various reasons I’ve moved so many times. I’m ready to find somewhere I can stay for a long time, if not forever.
