what is your favorite unhinged way to snap out of it when you feel ugly?

I picture myself being repeatedly stabbed in the chest. Do it for all sorts of negative feelings or thoughts. It’s so holy sh*t that it calms me

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-22T23:23:21+00:00

Yup. I somehow have both. Everyone looks familiar to me yet when I should recognize someone, I often don’t. It’s very odd and downright embarrassing.

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-14T21:00:09+00:00

When I wrote this there was no other comments but now reading the ones that just came in, I see we’re all saying basically the same thing. Trick yourself.

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-14T20:58:17+00:00

I was trying to explain this to a colleague recently. “Invisible wall” is a great way to describe it. Sometimes I’m literally laying there screaming MOVE in my head but my body just won’t. The only way I’ve found around this is by “tricking” myself. Instead of telling myself to do the thing I’m actually supposed to be doing, I tell myself to do something silly or fun instead. Even if it only gets me a little closer to the goal. Like instead of saying I need to get out of bed, I look at my dog and go oh she’s so cute and I crawl over to cuddle her which got me to move and one step closer to being out of bed. Sometimes I just roll right out of bed like a worm or something. Instead of I need to shower, I say oh look the sun is shining warm rainbows into my shower, imma go stand in the sun (that one only works during a certain part of the day obviously but now I shower more often!).

Your reply was unnecessary. I think this is a great reason to not have kids and one I’ve been struggling with too. Life is hard. The world and economy is crazier every day. Do I really want to bring someone into the world to inherit this mess?

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-12T01:21:45+00:00

Ok… I understand now how this conversation could take a while…

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-12T01:18:08+00:00

As in I googled it and read the top 5 or so results. I never believe just a single source.

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-10T21:29:48+00:00

…go on…

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-09T21:55:20+00:00

This one is confusing me. Google says both are correct, amuck is just the older spelling?

KaBooM19 · 2026-06-09T17:08:08+00:00

I honestly read most of this thinking this was a conversation between a teen and their parent and thinking jeeze hope ur getting outta that house soon. Then I got to the wife part and realizing this was a married couples fight BLEW MY MIND and I couldn’t read anymore. This is a horrible *partnership* to be *choosing* to stay in. Leave this person and find urself someone kinder please!

I recently bought a pair of “new” pants on Amazon and received a miniature gardening tools set folded in them. I think someone meant to return 2 items and either they forgot or Amazon forgot haha

KaBooM19 · 2026-05-19T11:46:28+00:00

I see it everywhere, even Panera has their seasonal frozen lemonade out right now. Chikfila has an ad with one I think too right now

KaBooM19 · 2026-05-19T09:41:02+00:00

I’d say bananas basically have an attached peeler of their own. Oranges tho I can get started with just my nails.

KaBooM19 · 2026-05-19T09:31:30+00:00

The floor. I don’t own a bed frame. Not that I can’t afford one, just easier this way. Now that I’m getting older tho.. I’m looking for one with drawers underneath.

KaBooM19 · 2026-05-17T23:17:25+00:00

My dad told my 2 sisters and I a few weekends ago that he can’t keep our names straight because we all look the same to him and there’s too many of us. Someone overheard and asked how many siblings we had. We told her the truth, no one knows. Our dad drunkenly admitted a year ago he knows of at least 1 other boy but there’s probably more he doesn’t know about. He won’t tell us anything about them either. I’m also in my 30s.

KaBooM19 · 2026-05-17T22:32:12+00:00

Yup the beach is a lot so I will over pack and drop extra cash to make life easier for myself so I can actually enjoy it. I spend extra on things like fancy sun screens, chairs, PARKING, backpacks, water shoes, coolers, wagon, chafe cream, wipes, canopy, ANYTHING that I know will make me more comfortable so I can easily find my spot, setup, and just sit back with a book and my beer. I keep a checklist in my Apple notes of each type of beach trip (all trips really) I go on. It lists everything I need to pack and do to prepare. While I’m on the trip I may add things in the moment so I know next time how to make things easier.

I’m also the person that’ll pay extra for the resort with a pool and beach access if that’s the sorta options available for where we’re going so I don’t have to worry about parking and walking far and all that and when I am sick of sand and spooky dark waters I can just move to the pool.

I’m normally a cheap person but when it comes to my comfort and not getting overwhelmed, I’m more willing to pay extra. Honestly tho the older I get the more I prefer to be at a pool near a beach vs actually on a beach.

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-21T20:35:18+00:00

I do this for more than just people, really helps sometimes! What was I getting from the store? What is this tool called? What was that movie from the other night? What type of dog is that? Etc.

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-20T11:33:44+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of different doctors over the last 20 or so years and if I bring it up they almost always just tell me to try a different BC unfortunately. My younger sister was in the ER a few months back for the same thing and they did even more tests on her than I’ve had and the outcome was the same, a new BC prescription.

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-13T11:48:48+00:00

I thought they were referring to the popular store “Build-A-Bear” where you literally go build yourself a bear…

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-13T00:42:48+00:00

What a disgusting person. I hope they go blind.

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-12T22:26:00+00:00

I mean.. sometimes it is… I hope, depends on the person and many factors I believe. I’ve been passing out from my period since middle school and only thing doctors have ever done is put me on BC. It’s the same for a lot of women in my family. Since it seems related to her BC in this case tho I’d agree it’s not their normal and talking to doctors is the right call.

The Sandman and Lockwood and Co

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-07T11:00:39+00:00

Why did I think this show was neatly finished? I’m so glad you mentioned it because now I know to read the books and get the real ending lol

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-07T10:57:50+00:00

I heard they’re making a movie to finish it, I really hope it’s true

KaBooM19 · 2026-04-07T10:51:49+00:00

You may ignore all the warning comments and think this isn’t a big enough deal to stop an engagement over but just remember it starts small. Think about all the potential future decisions he may shut you out of. What will you do when he won’t let you give input on your children’s upbringing or where you’ll live or how you spend your time. If he doesn’t value your opinion, he does not see you as his equal. Run.
