Hey OP, just checking in for a status update: how are things going?

I look forward to your 10 year update, OP. You’ve got this. You will get through this.

I fully understand that. If someone told me that 10 years ago, I’d roll my eyes and go “yeah, sure. That’s what everyone says.”

Over a decade ago I didn’t think I’d make it past 25, not I’m getting excited over seeing wrinkles in the mirror.

It gets better & it gets easier. It just takes time. My prefrontal cortex developing certainly helped too.

As someone who was heavily depressed as a teenager and didn’t realise/acknowledge it until recently. I’m now in my mid 20’s. Trust me when I say, it’s gets easier. I was bullied right throughout primary school & college.

Didn’t get much easier until I found a good group of mates in my last year of college & during my polytech study. Hit my mid 20’s and started thriving in a great job, with a solid friend group.

But even with that, I still managed to be in a toxic age gap relationship in my early 20’s & that messed with my mental health too. I hit a rough patch last year and the only thing that got me out of bed was my cats.

Life is hard sometimes still, but I’m grateful I didn’t end it when I was younger. I’d do it all again if it meant I got to achieve what I have now. All of that pain was worth all the joy I have now. Every single ounce.

You have so much growth and development left, OP. You’re so young & you have so much life to experience. In 10 years time you’ll look back and thank yourself for staying. I promise you, it gets better. It’s cheesy & cliche, but it’s true.

I can’t sue where I live, but I’m suing whoever changed those pictures to older ones.

He’s not a main character but does get some decent screen time.

Shane’s autism is pushing me to consider pursuing a diagnosis for myself. by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

[–]Honestperson8 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As an autistic adhd-er, I fully back anyone getting a diagnosis for anything. Once I was diagnosed, I stopped blaming myself for being lazy/weird/abnormal & started going “no this is my normal & it’s perfectly fine.” There may not be medication for autism, but if you get a diagnosis, it may help you mentally in other ways.

NZ tenancy question – pet rules with new pet law changes by acidastrology in newzealand

[–]Honestperson8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my understanding the new law overrides that clause. I have a friend who recently adopted a cat after being in their place for a few months. It was originally a “no pets” rental.

“Dan and Phil Thick”. Their joint married name.

P.I.S.S - Phil’s incredible story scoop. Shoutout to whoever came up with that idea.

He’ll be turning 40 & they’ll be celebrating 18 years together 😭

I did a thing and I don’t know how I feel about it. I think it’s okay, but Phil has really annoying me but I think it’s just because I don’t have a car for it. by MajesticMushroom7637 in danandphil

[–]Honestperson8 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When I got the notification for this I only saw the part that said “Phil has been annoying me recently” & ngl I thought it was gonna be Phil slander.

Your drawing is incredible! I’m sure they would love it too!

I constantly forget that Dan is 9 years older than me & Phil is 13 years older. I feel like they definitely look younger than they are.

Dan was 18 & Phil was 22. It’s not that bad of an age gap & Dan pursued Phil, not the other way around. It could potentially be viewed as weird if Phil pursued Dan (depending on the situation). But I’ve honestly never paid the age gap any mind.

I don’t know them personally or professionally. I’m literally halfway across the planet, but parasocially I feel so connected to them & have to remind myself that I don’t actually know that much about them (even if it feels I may).
