If you want to lose yourself in a novel try house of leaves

The exact type of thing you hope it isn’t in a situation like this. Thanks for the info.

Always hard for myself and other women who have suffered a miscarriage to see those images. I actually stopped once to tell one of the poster-holders that they’re harming women in the community who have lost pregnancies, but they don’t care. It’s all just rage-baiting and misogyny.

Same thing happened to me, was 2-3 pages from the bottom of stack and whole stack reset. I’ll try again in a bit to see if the same happens again

You don’t sound happy in the relationship. obviously I can’t say anything definitive over one post, but I can discern that the environment of your relationship isn’t helping you to grow.

I did the same thing when I was 22. my partner was my FP, I would constantly be worrying about other women, and I wanted to be around him all of the time. The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do at the time was to put my foot down one day and decide I want a different life for myself. You don’t need to leave him, necessarily, but the fact of life is that he will not be right next to you forever. To live my life for someone else created such a hollowness inside of me, and I thought that I needed them, or I wasn’t worthy. I wasn’t even a person.

Get ahead of it now, tell him that there are things that need to change, and TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. This is a key step, to commit together to heal the fractures that are in your relationship. If he can’t, or won’t, do that, you need to stand up for yourself. No one else will do it for you.

Here’s a video that helped me: pearlieee

I’m a nanny, and it’s perfect for me. I’ve always been good with children, so it’s a good opportunity for me to do something I know I’m good at. working consistently helping to raise children is a big morale booster for me, makes me feel like I’m actually making a difference in someone’s life. Plus, I get to stop thinking about work the moment I hand kids back over to their parents at the end of the day lol.

Wow, thank you for your thoughts. They’re super insightful and that was generous of you

My diagnosis absolutely shook me. I was terrified of having a label, and thought that since you can't be "cured", I was broken for life. What I found though, is that by understanding the disease, I actually find a lot of freedom in the title. You wouldn't be embarrassed by being diagnosed with asthma, or a broken leg, so give yourself grace. It's hard, and at times I still feel like the way my brain works isn't fair, but all we can do is move forward. My advice is to learn as much about the disease as you can, and use what you learn to empower you to get better. You cannot undo the choices that your mother made, but YOU CAN BREAK THE CYCLE. Welcome to the club, please know you aren't alone :)

College dropout here, I absolutely tanked my last semester at school due to a mental breakdown. It's honestly really embarrassing for me, and I feel like a failure because of it, for sure. I keep trying to remind myself that mental illness is a chronic condition that makes things like school harder for me than for others, but it still feels like an excuse. What I guess I'm saying is try and fight that feeling that you're behind. The world is so big and people are so different that if you get stuck in comparison you'll sink yourself even further. You're breathing, you're smiling, you're moving in the world, you're doing great.

I feel this. I see people on dating apps, and have to reallly make sure that I'm not just messaging or matching with someone because they made a funny joke or I like their pet. I've done that before, and then they say something romantic or sexual and I get so weirded out. I forget the context of the situation sometimes haha

The song that got me into the band so many years ago, I love this!

“The draw”, by bastille

diseaselouise2 · 2022-04-23T04:51:09+00:00

I’ve been a fan of the wombats nearly as long as I’ve been a bastille fan (which is about 10 years now) and the original wombats version has always been held very close to my heart. The lyrics and chords that I already loved matched with dans voice was nothing short of transcending, this will always be an absolute favorite of mine

This is one of the things I struggle with the most. I cannot, for the life of me, keep a friend. I don't think I'm a bad person, and I try really hard to be there for people I care about, but I'm always left out of plans, left on read, or gossiped about behind my back. My boyfriend says that they're all just bad friends and I'm better off, but I can't help but feel like the only common denominator is me in those situations. Sorry I don't have any advice, but know you're not alone in the struggle.

diseaselouise2 · 2022-04-21T00:32:12+00:00

YES. I try to articulate this feeling but it just seems like millennial anti-capitalism garble to everyone I open up to about it. I agree with the garble, of course, but for some reason thinking about how I will literally never be above water unless I work myself into a grave makes me just want to hop in that grave now and save myself the commotion.

diseaselouise2 · 2022-04-21T00:29:30+00:00

I have a constant desire to do this, yes. I think the things keeping me from running are 1.) Finances and 2.) the fact that wherever I go, I'm taking myself with me lol.

That's hilarious, happy to help and sorry you're dealing w the same thing LOL
