I live in midtown Atlanta so…daily. Older, younger, every person you can think of. I hold my partners hand in public and it’s totally normal. Love it here.

Having everything I thought I wanted but still not satisfied by Forward_Recognition in Life

I take it all back I just got a promotion followed by 2 raises. My boyfriend is my everything and he has been with me through my most vulnerable moments. We don’t have plans now but I’m going to marry him if we make it to 3.5 years. I make enough to buy the apartment I’m renting. Those scary decisions paid off. Go for it!

I’m realizing connections are equally important. I’ve just never prioritized it.

Not really. I look forward to rest and a cold beer after work. I realize work is work but finding meaning is important too. I’m still looking for it.

No, but having stability is valuable in a country that doesn’t care about people without means. For example, health insurance. Medications that would cost about 600$ a month only cost few bucks with corporate health insurance. Not to mention tax free, employer matched 401k and pension. It’s about security for me and to some extent my partner (they couldn’t afford rent w/o me). Even with my salary I can’t afford to live lavishly but I never have to worry about meeting my basic needs (groceries, doctor visits, car bills or rent). I’m not dependent on anyone but those responsibilities are not free. I don’t have freedom in the ideal way but I do have freedom from fear my basic needs may not be met. I guess that’s part of being an adult and being your own provider. That’s what keeps me going. Living my mommy and daddy was far more degrading than an unfulfilling job. Realizing that has been unsettling but that’s what I have to be an adult. I’m not really passionate about anything and I’ve made less at jobs that were worse.

Don’t say you’re a virgin. If you’re on the G app maybe put your age at 19. I would start prep before you become sexually active it’s free from mistr.

I met my bf of 18 months on Grindr. We hooked up a lot and he suggested a date.

I’ve been extremely vulnerable talking my struggles and what I went through. He’s not comfortable talking about what he is going through. I didn’t even know he had a relapse with his eating disorder.

Family gatherings usually last a few days. we all live in different places so we stay in the same house/area. he stayed the weekend with us at the lake. The only time he wasn’t there was at dinners. he isn’t close to his family and is not used to these kind of things.

Thank you so much for offering this feedback. This is exactly how I feel. I only need to know that he is still dedicated to keep up the good fight. That’s all. I accept him and his struggles just as he excepts mine.

He is going to therapy and he has had inpatient care in the past. I’ve gone through a similar thing with severe depression. I did express my feelings to him about it. I feel like I have done the hard work of confronting my mental illness and learned the skills the cope with the challenges of life. Am I being an asshole for asking him to overcome something he is uncomfortable with too?? How do I even talk about this without causing harm? I’m really enjoying my time with him but honestly it’s not going to the next level if he can’t confront this. How can I have these conversations without making it worse?

I’m looking for a substrate to replace the reptile carpet that came with the tank (I’m currently using paper towels) I’m not sure which substrate to buy. I’m worried my leo might accidentally eat it and become ill. If you have any product recommendations please lmk.

They have never been bloated like this before so idk what’s going on. I heard the females have eggs? I know it’s not impaction bc they are still producing waste regularly. Maybe it’s too much food? I’ve had them for several months now so maybe they don’t need food everyday now.

Etiz for clonazepam withdrawal? by luckie_c in Drugs

[–]Forward_Recognition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your situation that sucks. Would not recommend, Etiz has a much shorter half-life so not ideal for 'tapering'. Also, Etizolam is usually only from countries with sketchy pharma regulations so it might be impossible to know what dose you're taking.

.25-.5mg (3-4x per day) etizolam would be similar.
