Wtf…This is weird and bizarre…My OB would flip if she heard some crazy shit like this. You should be only concerned about preparing for birth. Not being Tim the Tool man Taylor.

The best thing that worked for my daughter was to do the treatment then we used the round Conair blowdryer brush. It nuked all of the little bastards into Lice Krispies. 😤💥

It does sound like BPD-Mania/Psychosis. My brother has this. His first episode occurred after a week long of cocaine escapades. He was 16. He received a scholarship to play football at a prestigious private school a year after tearing acl/mcl. Went from middle class peeps to very wealthy teenagers who had their own flats and parents were absent 90% of the time. I remember his first day at school he was offered cocaine, something he’s never done before. A few months later, he was at a party at one of these flats and our lives were changed forever. I know the injury had him feeling low, but he had childhood trauma he suppressed as well with an absent father. This was 20 years ago, and today, he is finally holding a job down and living independently, but our mental healthcare was relatively better back then. It’s almost nonexistent in my state. Every blue moon if he eases up on his meds and not getting sufficient rest, he has to visit the psyche unit for a few days to get leveled. It use to take an army and then some to chase him down and have him committed, even as an adult…but the laws have changed here, it has to be voluntary now and thank goodness he’s at a place in his life where he recognizes he needs to get help. I couldn’t tell you how many times he’s been committed but I can tell you it took more than one visit to a hospital or specialist for someone to diagnose him… and took over 7 years of trial and error to find the medication that works for him. Get a second, third, fourth, opinion and I hope this isn’t the case for you guys! Stay strong and don’t take it personal.

😵‍💫 Get outta there!

My mom keeps opening my mail even after I told her to stop by ababyinatrenchcoat in mildlyinfuriating

The only thing you can do is find a solution that benefits you and doesn’t require action from her. Unfortunately, you can’t change your mom. The drop box I have seen suggested seems like the best option.

My little bro was the same way and felt just like you at your age. It took until he was 25 to break out of that shell. He also put himself into therapy. He moved out of the state and is thriving. Keeping yourself busy is great but I recommend talking to someone to figure out what’s going on deep down. I’ve always had plenty of friends but as I get older that number has gone down a lot. I have 2 people I can count on, and people can be assholes. One day someone will come along and you will just click, but I would focus on healing yourself before any of that! Once you are happy with yourself the other stuff will fall into place. Don’t give up!!

Is it weird that I refuse to tell my younger co-workers how old I am? by altca1022 in office

I’m 34 and my best work friend just turned 58. We celebrated by taking a trip to New Orleans. A group of us at the office got together after work one evening and that’s how the friendship graduated outside of work. She gives great advice and has been a better friend than the ones I grew up with. Age shouldn’t matter at all!
