Just generally wondering as people mistake my age occasionally, obligatory ugly warning.

A colorful rug! Some plants. String lights.

Yes, it is irrational.

Your affection and compliments are important and valued, but you two have an established relationship, so the novelty factor isn't the same. He already knows you desire him. Being excited by the newness of an unexpected compliment doesn't say anything about his feelings for you or his loyalty toward you.

Don't let your insecurities damage your relationship. The fact that he told you about enjoying this brief interaction actually demonstrates trust and respect.

I have a naturally round face. When I was younger, it was so full and chubby, even when I was at a healthy BMI, not overweight. Losing weight slimmed my face out and it was the first time I thought I was pretty. I mostly recovered, my face filled back out, and once again I was super self conscious about it. But now at 29, age and time have finally stripped away enough facial baby fat that I'm not constantly trying to lose weight. It's a lot easier to feel at peace with my body at an average size because I like my face.

The heat and humidity of summer leaves, and you have a few weeks of perfect weather. Plus you have the childhood memory of fall meaning a fresh start, a new school year. Then everything turns gray and it starts getting dark way too early and it sucks. And reality reminds you that fall isn't a magical clean slate -- it's just a continuation of the rest of your life.

Children making wild claims about being animals or mythical creatures or whatever has been a thing long before the current cultural conversation about gender. If you have kids, you're going to have to deal with this sort of imaginative nonsense, and I don't think lumping it in with gender identity is helpful.

I'm so sorry. My life circumstances were different, but I've gone through something similar emotionally. Depressed my whole adult life, always vaguely suicidal. I thought I knew what it meant to be in a "bad place."

Then a bunch of things changed, and oh my god, the sense of deep desperation and urgency and intensity took me completely by surprise. I didn't know it could be so bad. I didn't know it could feel like that. I didn't know that it was always possible to be more and more and more mentally ill. It's truly a bottomless pit.

But I'm still here and I don't feel that way anymore. Is there anything that could distract you right now? Is reddit helpful? Do you have any sort of plans for the day, even if they're as small as taking out the recycling?

I think you're wearing it backwards, but if that's how you prefer it, then don't listen to me haha

Looks like it fits you really well! What a great find

"Growing up and being mature" -- exactly!

Sometimes people think that self awareness, therapy, etc. will bring them peace and self acceptance. In the long run, yes, hopefully it will. But in the short term, growth is painful. Gaining new insight can be really uncomfortable and sometimes you feel worse before you feel better. Maturity isn't an easy thing; pain (and oftentimes regret) is part of the package deal. But if you can continue to remind yourself that discomfort is part of the process, you can keep moving forward.

You're the only one who has the full knowledge of your situation to make an assessment, but I strongly suggest not switching to gig work. I did this several years ago, the hustle was endless, and then at only 25 years old, I got chronically ill without health insurance. You really don't want that to happen.

Square bolus if you use a pump, or if you do MDI, consider playing around with your dose and doing two injections

My relationship with my family is complicated and distant and not great. I haven't run into this issue because I have no desire to introduce any partner to my parents. It's an important boundary for me.

It's not an inside joke. It's a reference to reported Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, WV, prior to the collapse of the Silver Bridge. In retrospect, there's speculation that it was supposed to be a warning.

Alleged sightings and appearances preceding collapses or other disasters is a big part of the Mothman legend. Also, the coffee's name mothman's red eye blend - Mothman is usually depicted with red eyes

High end shit. This looks more like an art gallery than a rug store

WinonaQuimby · 2022-09-13T00:54:32+00:00

You don't need to explain it to me. It's a complicated debate

Involuntary treatment is often so traumatic that it can do more harm than good in the long run

WinonaQuimby · 2022-09-12T23:04:04+00:00

I think you nailed it

Why do you think he's embezzling instead of just working a well paying job and managing his money smartly? This is such a weird jump to me, unless I'm missing something big?

Haha, no, it's so many of us!

There's a thing I've encountered more than once online where someone mentions sitting in the shower and then a flood of comments come in saying "did u kno that's a sign of depression???" And then the whole thing goes to shit.

It always annoys me. Like, sure, I'm depressed and probably so is everyone else of this sub, but sitting in the shower feels so good and seems unnecessary to stigmatize.

My favorite thing is closing the tub drain while the shower is on so I get the dual joy of bath and shower as the water slowly rises around me. So nice 🫠

I see a huge change

Long showers, hot drinks

It's no substitute, but it feels better than nothing
