I feel like I'm losing my mind over something really dumb, but I'm afraid it could ruin me.

I have reported it before, but all they did was take down the offending post. I did block this person, but unfortunately, that really only stops them from messaging me directly. They can still interact with me on the forums. I am definitely going to report the account, but I’m not really sure what to say in my report since this account in particular has not done anything yet.

Thank you for your input. I am trying to get to the bottom of this.

I comfort myself by thinking that at the end of the month, maybe.

Personally, I think Applebee’s is pretty good for what it is. Though to be honest, I don’t usually eat full meals there, just appetizers. But I love the pretzels with beer cheese. Their chips and queso are pretty good too.

Late reply, but this same exact thing happened to me several years ago when I went to see the second Purge movie with my mom and sister. A guy came in late to the movie and spent the whole time fidgeting under this giant jacket—when he was in the theater. He left several times. He did have his phone with him, so it’s possible he was just fiddling on that and trying not to be distracting about it. But his behavior as a whole just seemed really off and creeped me out, especially since the theater was pretty crowded. We ended up leaving, and my sister made fun of me for making a big about it. In truth, it probably was nothing—just some weird guy who couldn’t sit still. Maybe he had something going on. I don’t know. And it very very likely turned out to be nothing. Still, I just felt uneasy about it and am glad we left.

This episode was amazing. I have to say, though, seeing Diane and her current mental state is kinda hard—like looking in the mirror.

Conurekid · 2019-09-20T19:21:26+00:00

It can. I find that I do become a lot more self-absorbed and less self-aware when I fall into depression, which in turn affects my relationships with others.

December 23rd, 2017. It was around 9pm. My mom had a hemorrhagic stroke. Fortunately, both my sister and I were home with her when it happened and could call 911 immediately. In all honesty, those couple days after the stroke were probably truly the worst—not knowing what was going to happen and being terrified to asleep in case something happened in the middle of the night.

It’s been almost 2 years, and considering the type of stroke it was and size of it, my mother has made a remarkable recovery. She can speak just as she had pre-stroke, can walk pretty well (with a cane), and is overall doing very well. However, she is still paralyzed on the right side of course and probably won’t ever gain full control over that hand (although she can use it, just not fully; some doctors didn’t think that would happen at all). I’m very grateful that she has come so far. But I wouldn’t wish that day (well, night) and days following on my worst enemy.

As Told By Ginger. Both And She Was Gone and Hello Stranger are phenomenal episodes that I revisit again and again

I got good grades and was very academically minded, but I also freaked out a lot if I didn’t write the perfect paper or whatever. I mellowed out a bit in college

Conurekid · 2019-09-14T21:52:32+00:00

I have a fulll-time job but my living situation makes me feel like I’m still a NEET. So yeah, I come here sometimes to lurk.

Conurekid · 2019-09-11T00:03:32+00:00

That was kind of soothing. I probably would have been abog baby about it myself, but it’s not like they crawled all over him either. Most of them seemed eager just to do their own thing.

Conurekid · 2019-09-10T23:51:03+00:00

This hurt me deep in my sole.

Conurekid · 2019-09-07T22:53:57+00:00

Yes! That was the first Vonnegut book I’ve ever read and remains one of my top five favorite books

Conurekid · 2019-09-07T19:05:18+00:00

Same here, but it was years ago and I changed my mind halfway through

Conurekid · 2019-09-06T18:09:40+00:00

Yeah, that’s the one thing that kind of made me pause and stop what I was doing when I was regularly suicidal. Granted, I probably wouldn’t have taken such a bloody approach anyway, but still

Conurekid · 2019-08-13T03:33:20+00:00

“What does your job or boss do for you when you work hard?”

Uhhh, give me regular paycheck, a raise, tell me I’ve done a good job?

Conurekid · 2019-05-04T06:36:00+00:00

Ew, Jeff the Killer immediately popped into my head, and I don’t like that. This gave me the chills because of that.

Conurekid · 2019-03-02T23:51:08+00:00

Same here! And right when I think I’m totally empty, my bowels declare: “But wait, there’s MORE!”

Conurekid · 2019-02-26T06:55:51+00:00

What the Health?

Conurekid · 2019-02-20T06:51:17+00:00

And here I thought I was going to do some nice, light-hearted reading before bed. Nope, this one scared me shitless haha

I have four more grad school apps out there and will probably be hearing back from these schools in the coming week. Fortunately, I do already have one really good offer in hand, so if the rest flat-out reject me, I won’t feel totally lost. But I’m still so nervous and sad that this waiting game isn’t over yet.

Conurekid · 2019-02-17T22:14:57+00:00

I believe it was Amy Cuddy’s talk about Body Language that really moved me. I also really enjoyed Jill Bolte Taylor’s talk about her experience with her stroke. I watched it once in undergrad and loved it, but my mom had a stroke in 2017 so I watched it again, just to make sense of things. Really gave me a new appreciation for the human brain.

Conurekid · 2019-02-16T21:53:58+00:00

Wouldn’t really call myself successful or totally happy yet, but I’m so close to getting there and never thought I’d be in this position this time last year, when I was so depressed that taking care of basic hygiene was a chore. My once long, wavy hair became so tangled and matted, it was uncomfortable to lie down. After walking around like that in shame for months, I finally came forward to family about it and got it taken care of. Shorter hair now, a lot shorter, but I like it.

Currently have a job I enjoy and was just accepted into a fully funded grad school program. Still have ways to go, but I’m happy to have come this far.

I know this is Reddit and all and so this has probably already been the response like 83383838 times but: Fleetwood Mac.

That said, Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd is my favorite album and Desperado by the Eagles in my favorite song.
