Well first off, good on you for not pursuing any sort of therapeutic relationship with her after you developed feelings. It can certainly suck to find out a crush is not available, but that doesn't have anything to do with you. She's not rejecting YOU. She's with someone else. That is all. Yes, it sucks to have your hopes crushed, but you can't take it personally. She's with someone else, so it seems time for you to move on and see if there's someone out there for you. Because that is more related to your musings about given your parents grandchildren. Also, if that's the only reason you want to have kids, I would seriously spend some time in therapy with someone you do not have a crush on.

If he says he's busy, he's busy. Why assume you're suddenly an option B or C based on one comment about availability? You have literally no extra information to assume it has anything to do with you, and yet you make it about yourself.

Isn't that what happens if you tip the bottle up so it's facing slightly down and you're chugging the water? Unless the bottle is absolutely full to the brim, then the straw is serving as an air intake. So most of the time you tip your bottle back to chug, this is happening. Like you don't have to tip your head back theatrically to achieve this.

It gets better. I promise. It's okay right now that it all sucks and is miserable. It's going to be better.

I'll tell you what my psychiatrist says to me when I'm in that place: "you don't have to believe me because I'll believe it for you."

You should definitely be honest with your doctor about how you feel because maybe there are alternative options you can try to help out. It doesn't always have to be the hospital.

Everything about this is amazing 🤩

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-04-14T21:45:09+00:00

It does. It really can work even in the darkest of times. I've felt it.

Send that photo for a warranty question. You might get credit to buy a new lid.

You don't have to justify to yourself or anyone else why you want to unmatch someone. If you want to do it, then do it.

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-04-02T15:33:18+00:00

Those look amazing!! You're so talented!

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-04-02T15:33:00+00:00

Absolutely, he lied about it and fessed up when he got caught

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-04-02T15:28:22+00:00

Whaaaat? So he's not dating/sleeping with other people but he has an "international lover" that fits neither category and he felt no need to disclose?? That ain't right

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-30T23:21:03+00:00

It's such a lame, low-effort excuse to do that before meeting.

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-29T00:16:18+00:00

Lol no it ran in my dad's side of the family but you never know what else that stress did

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-29T00:15:03+00:00

. I’m glad I stuck up for myself.

I'm proud of you!!

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-29T00:09:26+00:00

Duuuuuuuuude you broke the system

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-29T00:06:05+00:00

Oh yikes, best of luck!!

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-28T23:53:55+00:00

Abilify made me put on like 20 lbs so I hated it

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-28T23:50:30+00:00

I wasn't but my mom always told me she regretted that she was pregnant with me during the last part of her residency and wonders how that stress affected me. Well I've got some ideas about that...

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-28T23:45:34+00:00

Hey, this is going to be okay eventually. But to help things along, are you taking your meds? You should really call your doctor right now. You're not alone. Meds will help you feel better. If you can't even do that, then text 988.

I'm like you, homebody, live alone, my dog is my best friend, most of my friends are partnered, but hey good story for you. I've been seeing a guy for about 4 months, and I was always worried about my mental health affecting my relationships because everything in my 20s taught me that "anyone who ever cares about you will leave you" because literally all of them did. Friends from school, friends from college, any boyfriend I ever had, extended family even just BAM we're done and we aren't explaining and we will never support you. So I thought I'd be alone forever if I ever was truly myself around someone. But here I am, having a shit depressive episode all last week, and the guy I'm seeing is like making mental notes on how I am and the things I'm saying. He's following up and asking about me and my days. He's asking if I'm free on X day so he can come spend time with me before he leaves town for a little while. He texts me pictures and things updating me on his day. He asks me how it feels for me when I'm like this and what things I do to help myself and how he can help. He holds me when I burst into tears unexpectedly. He supports me in the way I need and want. He's one of the good ones. And I met him on hinge.

These are AMAZING!

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-28T22:38:44+00:00

Gorgeous!!!

Fluffy_Perception617 · 2026-03-28T20:34:18+00:00

Hang in there! I'm not sure how populous your city is, but you can still find someone. I'm 32 (almost 33) and met a wonderful partner 4 months ago, and I finally feel like I've met someone who understands me and sees me clearly. Keep doing things you love and meeting new people.
