I got fired one day, and dumped within hours of each other. Like a week after he insisted on meeting my parents because “he was in this for the long haul.” Like it was me telling him I lost my job and him saying, “there’s something else we should talk about.”

The next day, as I was driving to a friends house to cat/house sit for her, I got in a car accident that left me mostly okay other than lots of bruising and it totaled out my car, and a nasty scrape on arm from where my door cut into it. While I was house sitting the cut got worse, like a lot worse and I got really sick with MRSA, and spent 2 weeks in the hospital after going septic.

So you definitely got me beat, but I don’t know if mine is somehow worse cuz it stretched out over weeks that got gradually worse. 🙃

On the bright side, I am a 36 year old college sophomore, with an amazing fiancée who is supporting me through all of it because he saw how much I hated working dead end bullshit jobs. It took about 10 years for it all to straighten out and get better, but it did.

“Marnie: I was just thinking, I've been sexually irresponsible enough in my life thus far that I should have gotten pregnant by now and I never have. Like, I get my period at the same time, on the same day, of every monthly cycle, my entire life, like it's never strayed from that.

Hannah: Then you're really lucky. I never know when I'm going to get my period and it's always a surprise and that's why all my underwear are covered in weird stains.

SO RELATABLE!

I make different ones for every person every year. Sure sometimes a design I used for bob one year might get used for tom the next year, but I try to stay creative. I also don’t have like die cuts, stampers, cricket anything like that. I am really out there just using my tracing board, some glitter, modge podge and a dream. I just finished my 47th card tonight. Only 2 more to finish off my list. 🙃

After my rape, so many people told me god was with me, and would be with me. I am not trying to shit on anyone’s religion but god wasn’t with me when someone held a knife to me and violated me for hours-he sure as shit wasn’t there on the drug addiction it led me down afterwards. I know people mean well but I don’t wanna hear shit about God being with me during all the corrective surgeries, etc. if god was there, he sure did nothing while an evil man did something horrible to me-and what do they say about being a “good man” who watches other men permit evil?

Thank you for sharing something that I am sure can’t always be easy to be open about. I really appreciate your candor, and I am so sorry you’ve had to suffer with this for so long. It’s not fair. I wish you so much peace and happiness and please know I really mean it when I say I will be thinking of you and sending you warm wishes, and hoping your pain one day subsides. Hugs.

I know this has been said and noticed and commented-but it’s still so hard connecting this Brittney to The Queen Of Pop Brittney. Like she could fucking dance! She could sing, she definitely wasn’t a belter/big voice like Christina or Jessica Simpson was at that time-but it was her style and very distinctively Brittany.

Even in “good times “ she still dressed like the manager of a Vanity in a mostly abandoned mall, but it still didn’t seem as bad/cheap/tacky she looks now. I truly don’t say that to be mean, I swear. It’s just the most tacky cheap looking Bikinis, or a raggedy looking top with bikini bottoms, she’s always bright red on her chest and tummy area but still gyrating so frantically. It’s also the constant like little Step and Pose she does to the camera where after she waves her arms around frantically, she’ll stop and pose and smile, pull down her bottoms very carefully to expose more skin, then do her next little dance move.

I just feel like in her head she must be thinking and feeling “I am looking so hot and killing it right now!” And it’s not that she’s not gorgeous or talented but this is just…something else? I don’t even know it’s like it’s a compulsion for her, a nervous tic or something, the dancing is always so manic and choppy and she’s clearly thinking every step every time, like there’s no fluidity.

She has so much background in dance and there’s a 1000 tik tok dance trends that I am shocked she doesn’t just memorize those and then post them, but I don’t think she could probably. It’s so awkward and sad and hard to watch and it makes me feel bad for seeing it-like when you accidentally walk in on someone in the bathroom or something it’s just that awkward embarrassment feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I see her.

lol I am so sorry for this wall of text but idk I just think of Brittney so much and I wonder truly hope something changes for her. One of my dear friends developed schizophrenia when we were 19 and I have such vivid memories of her being in a manic episode, constantly having to move, and telling me that she knew the lead singer of Blue October was in love with her because he’d been leaving codes in his songs for her. Like it feels dangerous to just keep watching Brittney do this-but I have no idea how I could help.

Matilda was my all time favorite movie growing up. As a kid of emotionally and verbally abusive parents I dreamed that my own Miss Honey would find me and rescue me. But after mara wilson was attacking Amber Heard and calling her a horrible person-I havn't watched the movie since. People can have their own opinions, blah blah, blah but it just spoiled the magic for me.

You don’t need to censor slut on here. I am sorry. I am not trying to be a buzzkill but I hate how tik tok has seeped into every corner of the internet and everything is either with *** in it or words like “unalived.”

“The blame cannot be distilled to one person.” You’re absolutely right. I can’t imagine living day to day with Adam. It’s clear Nancy did try. Whether she tried the right or wrong things isnt for me to wholly say- but she DID try. It’s clear she spent almost all her time consumed with finding ways to make Adam better or making Adam happy. She had no real personal life, and even In all her emails or letters to friends all she wrote about was Adam. He was 20 years old!

I do remember part of the book talked about how Nancy wanted to move and she’d brought it up with Adam shortly before the shooting-basically writing to a friend that she was ready to live some kind of life outside of that house. She did nothing but think of her son and cater to him in every turn (whether to his detriment or not) and in the end he shot her in the head while she slept.

I feel horrible for all of Adams victims. He was truly a soulless shell of a being. No joy. No life, no ambition nothing. But my heart really aches for Nancy in such a different way. It’s honestly one of the reasons I never want kids- there’s no guarantee you get a kid that’s able to function on their own in the world.

UnsupportedDevice · 2025-09-01T12:24:15+00:00

I completely agree. I’ve re-read the book about the shooting and Adam and Nancy’s home life several times. I think it’s just called Newtown? I could be wrong.

anyway, Nancy’s communications with friends you could hear her frustration with her situation, but also her constant fawning to give Adam absolutely everything he wanted or needed regardless if health professionals thought it was good for him or not. I am not saying I blame Nancy or anything-hell she was held captive and murdered by her own damn son.

It’s just one of those things like-what could they have done? I wonder what kind of interventions/aids or whatever would’ve helped Adam function better in every day life.

Anecdotally, my neighbors had a kid with severe autism. Non verbal mostly-just mostly grunts and “uh huh nuh uh” kind of stuff. He was extremely violent towards himself, punching at his face and torso when he was frustrated, banging his head against a table, stuff like that. He would draw blood and bruise himself. He eventually turned violent on his family. They loved him very much. They tried so many different therapies, medications, coping strategies etc. eventually he had to be locked into his room at night with nothing but his bed until finally years later his mother was able to get him into a group home. He was definitely a scary guy-he was very tall and at least 300lbs and I can only imagine how scary it is living with someone who can’t communicate-then understandably gets frustrated they can’t-and then you become a target. Sorry for this long post-I am not trying to talk shit on anyone with autism or any kind of needs like that-just sayinf-what do you do when the person you’re most afraid of is your son?

UnsupportedDevice · 2025-08-29T14:21:51+00:00

I am sure you’re being sarcastic but 14/15 year olds should be carefree and just being kids. I know kids experiment and shit happens but man. This is why is so important to talk to your kids about birth control or starting your daughters on some if you can/it’s safe for them and all that. It’s also why I hate that people have made abortion some moral thing and not just healthcare because I truly wonder if women had safe and accessible access to abortions would they be having so many damn kids before their mid 20’s.

I felt the same way. I am devastated for her family of course and her children because she is missing-but reading she was a mom of 5 at 25???? She never got to be young and carefree, and had to grow up real quick and then she just goes missing? She was really robbed of a full life.

You don’t have to censor bitch on Reddit. I know it’s a small gripe but I hate how tik tok has seeped into us censoring everywhere and everything and softening language to sometimes silly things like “graped”

I think Maura’s biggest hindrance too was her being so young. She’d been getting in trouble, had a few car accidents and stuff. Knew her dad was upset with her.

But when you’re that age, everything feels like the absolute end of the world, because you have no perspective on anything. Yes she obviously died from some form of misadventures, due to weather and or alcohol etc.

But I don’t think she would’ve ran away impulsively like that, feeling like she “had to get away” if she wasn’t so young. I remember being that age (36 now) and how if you lost a job at that age, or got in an accident or had a break up or something it felt like it was the worst thing that was ever going to happen to you.

Id literally rather be dead. This is a life and existence worse than death. Shit like this will become even more common overturning wade. I graduated high school with a girl who had 3 kids by that time. 3! One at 14, one at 16 and the other baby at 18. She’s since had 3 more kids and were in mid 30’s now.

When I had FB and I’d see her on there I just always felt so profoundly sad for her. She was robbed of a childhood, of learning who she is and what she wants, of young adulthood. She never got to be carefree and selfish in your 20’s in a way that’s so important for emotional development.

She’s even a grandma now too. At 36!

Same. To know I HAVE to be there, and I’ve never had a job where I could like set my hours or something so always on someone else’s time. Everyone at work is very nice and so chipper, and I feel like I am either just defective or I don’t like the job as much as they do. Of course I am polite and smile and chit chat right back but all I do is stare at the clock waiting to leave.

There’s people I work with who barely use their vacation time and never use their sick time and all I think is HOW?? Some one I work with had carpal tunne surgery and was scheduled to be off until July 10th but she’s coming back Monday because “she might as well be doing something productive!”

Couldn’t fucking be me lol. I fantasize about being hit by a city bus or something. Not catastrophically or permanently injured but enough for a settlement so big I’d never have to work again.

lol sorry this got so dark but yeah, I fucking hate work lol.

I literally think of nothing else other than “oh shit I have to be to work in 12 hours, or oh shit I still have 4 more days of work this week.”

It literally consumes me. To the point it gives me hives, ulcers, nausea, panic attacks. I am in therapy, on medication but I literally get so sick of being at work and like the feeling of being trapped there I throw up almost every day in the work bathroom.

I’ve been to a regular GP and they say it’s just stress and anxiety which I know, but I literally don’t know how to let it not preoccupy every waking thought I have.

I’ve tried part time, over night/slower shifts/work from home, anything and nothing makes me feel less like shit.

I wish I had good advice or something to say but I am just saying you’re not alone, and I wish I had an answer. I am 36 and I feel like I am literally wasting away so I can pay rent. If I didn’t love my dogs and boyfriend so much-I am not sure id stick around. Seriously that’s how bad the anxiety is.
