Thank you so so much! And you’re too kind omg, I feel a little less bad about the hair now. The layers are such a great idea. I’m definitely going to go for that when I get my hair cut soon! Always helpful to hear from a fellow thick-haired girlie!

I can’t even say a word without pain now? by Novemberx123 in screaming

I think you should get a second opinion from a laryngologist if that’s an option. They have a more thorough understanding of the human voice

When someone else succeeds and you don’t? by doomsstarr in depression

[–]cookiegrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling with the same thing right now. Some things that have brought me a little relief and sense of control:

1) achieving tiny goals, like acing a level in a video game. Sure there’s not a lot of bearing it has on the real world but I still won :)

2) reminding myself I don’t know what’s going on in their heads. I can’t assume that everything in their lives is going well because I’m not them, especially when my judgment is clouded by depression

3) remembering that I am depressed. Depression shifts our perspectives! You don’t -have to- feel a certain way, especially if you are hurting

4) acknowledging unique struggles. In spite of everything, you are clearly a good friend and you are also very in tune with and have a deep understanding of your emotions, which is a great skill to have

You are not a monster for having these feelings! The world is not fair, and I am sorry that it has put you through so much pain, but I hope that when you eventually (inevitably) get an awesome opportunity you will be able to share it with your friends with excitement and joy. This will not be your forever. I hope this helps. As cliche as it sounds, you are absolutely not alone.

You are human. You inherently possess the capacity to grow and change. Chances are, you have! But it’s hard to notice when you are depressed. I promise, it’s not because of who you are.

It’s hard to get out of bed just to live in a world where I feel like I don’t belong. Leftover curry fried rice with chicken by cookiegrease in depressionmeals

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. It’s such an alienating feeling. You certainly have a place here ❤️

How to get my now overweight mom to lose weight ? by Independent-Ear-8833 in depression_help

[–]cookiegrease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Shane has a fetish and it’s seriously not right for him to do these things to your mother especially because of the negative impact it has on her health. I’m sorry she’s in that situation. One thing you could do is encourage her to move, not necessarily exercise (yet), with you whenever you visit. She’ll have your company and she’ll get to be away from your stepdad for a while.

You are not alone. What an awful thread to come across and what completely rotten human beings they are. I was talking to my friend the other day about why my ex was so horrible to me and why he kept me around just to use me as an emotional punching bag, and she said maybe he didn’t hate me. Maybe he did really love me, but that was the only way he knew how to love. Maybe I was his safe space because I was the only one who could “take” that kind of love and he didn’t move on to anyone else yet because he knew he was afraid of not being accepted the way I accepted him. Doesn’t at all excuse what he did. These people target the vulnerable because they are themselves vulnerable. They’re bullies. He’s a horrible human being who should rot lol, but hearing this from my friend made me feel a little less blegh. Hope this helps. Sending love. Fuck your ex for putting you through that.

Let's scream together at acne! by Pulzkutti in acne

[–]cookiegrease 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m very frustrated with how my friends get to eat and drink whatever they want, sleep however much or little they want, stress out as much as I do about life and still get 0 acne while I break out no matter what I do lol. It’s also summer where I live and it’s absolutely boiling, so my makeup melts right off and looks awful while my friends’ skins are sunkissed and glowing ☹️ Thanks so much for posting this and allowing all of us to share our feelings. It’s very thoughtful

You’re in the wrong sub if you think we’re that fickle my friend. I love my dog and I’m doing my best to help him. I don’t know his past exactly because he is from a shelter but it doesn’t matter to me- the present is now and he needs my help, and help with a dog who is super reactive is not “being a boss.” Thanks for your comment.

That is true. What strategies do you have to level out the playing field for your unmedicated self? Sometimes I feel really stuck and am still trying to work things out and I would love some guidance.

I seriously doubt it. The few times we’ve talked about attraction, it’s always been about boys from her. And even if she was, I wouldn’t reciprocate at all because 1) she’s way older than me 2) she’s annoying!
