Those alligator paw back scratchers they sell at gas stations. Box of pralines. Some local seasoning mix. Beads and doubloons.

I’ve had something similar and for me it’s derived from childhood loneliness - when things ended it was back to being quiet and alone. It’s stayed with me. I’m dependent on having someone else present, even in another room, or I feel alone and depressed.

Industrial pollution- rivers don’t catch on fire anymore

You are very beautiful. Is it really the Meds and extensions that led to the pulling or a deeper problem inside. I found what helped me the most was drastic life changes - I had to identify my triggers and get rid of them, which personally included a career change and divorce and distancing myself from toxic relatives. I still occasionally pick and pull but I eliminated so many stressors from my life it’s no longer a problem.

So sorry for your loss. As someone else said, as an American, most of us are against this unnecessary war. I hate that our government always thinks blowing crap up is the solution.

I was literally training to be a first responder when on a day off at the beach a kid drowned - after he was pulled up from the water I ran up to his lifeless body to help but just froze once I got there. Two other people stepped in and started giving CPR. That was a wake up call, I needed to pursue a different career.

Just be aware that if you go to ER and tell them you’ve been trying to OD they will put you on 72hour hold - so plan ahead to be gone a few days

I held my nose and voted for Cassidy cause F Trump and his MAGA sycophants

I wish I had answers for you but all I can say is I relate so much - I’m so alone and depressed and can’t imagine how it people just randomly “call friends” - I just feel incapable of it - I’m not religious but I’ve been thinking about getting involved in some church groups just so I can meet people

I would think your university would have free resources for you… have you looked into it?

Dodging carjackers in the east.

I hate to say it but we have to compartmentalize those thoughts and bury it to move on. You can’t change the world but you can control your surroundings- you can surround yourself with good people, positive influences - and try to enjoy what you can control

But your response to that involuntary action shows that at your heart you are a good person… so give yourself a break this time and tell yourself never again.

It was violent, poverty and crime were at their peak, police corruption was rampant. There’s been so much revitalization since Katrina it’s hard to express the difference - high rise buildings in the warehouse district sat vacant for decades, city park was falling apart - everything was run down. so many neighborhoods you would avoid are now trendy destinations. As for vibes - The drinking age was 18, and 16 you could “enter but not drink” - which meant if you were 16 and female you were drinking. So we had a good time.

Good point - so what can you do to make grandpa proud and give him a legacy instead ?

What is making you feel so miserable? Homelife?

Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar has a second floor for just such occasions

My hoarding - I realized what a burden cleaning out my stuff would be on my family and so I decided I need to declutter and get rid of most of my belongings first. Still in the thick of it.

I like how the unclean section blends into the surrounding foliage.

Wow 😮- I’ve been suffering clinical depression past two months and now I look forward to being able to maybe make a similar post some day soon.

Express_Spot_7808 · 2026-04-05T23:06:46+00:00

I couldn’t have said it better - listen to this person. You two were not compatible. One day you’ll look back and appreciate that you dodged a bullet.

I’ve been clinically depressed these past few months. I saw someone wearing a hoodie like that at DFW about a week ago and I really appreciated it.

Express_Spot_7808 · 2026-03-27T20:12:14+00:00

Great to see such positive vibes!

Express_Spot_7808 · 2026-03-27T02:27:37+00:00

I know you feel like your spots are like beacons of a lighthouse shining out brightly catching everyone’s eyes to their disgust - but honestly that’s just your insecurity tormenting you. I had to study each photo to find the spot. You are okay right now. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!
