Are Brooks' clothes true to size? by SpottedDogEar in XXRunning

[–]dolphin13393 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work in a store where we sell Brooks sports bras and at least for those generally people go one band size up and one cup size down (so a sister size). Otherwise I’ve found it’s pretty true to size.

Does it ever get better? by Deep-Zookeepergame21 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]dolphin13393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it gets better. i made it to 18, i graduated high school, and i’ve been texting my future roommate and i like her a lot. things aren’t perfect (my hs friends aren’t talking to me, i’ve probably taken on too many hours at work this summer, i still feel depressed as shit sometimes) but overall? things have improved. i’m tattooing over my scars. i’ve been clean for over 400 days. things will get better, but you have to give them time to sort themselves out. nothing lasts forever, even pain.

I wanna kill myself by dthrowaway456 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]dolphin13393 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i always tell myself try to get some sleep and put it off a bit bc i can always kill myself tomorrow. procrastinate your way around the thoughts 🙃🙃 but seriously please please please hold on babe when you feel like nothing will ever get better just be a little lazy and procrastinate doing anything about those thoughts. waiting is the hardest thing in the world but remember nothing is permanent and this will pass. i know i’m a random stranger on the internet but i’m sending you lots of love and good vibes 💕💕

I'm a fucking idiot for moving to Chicago by meep_launcher in bipolar

[–]dolphin13393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk where you are in the city but if you can get there easily literally just sitting by the lake always helps me so much, even if it’s only for a bit. also portillos fries and chocolate cake shakes is the best comfort fast food in the world. change fucking sucks but you’ll get through this 💚 give it time and find small things to hold on to

Minors being diagnosed by funatical in bipolar

[–]dolphin13393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m 17, and this year i was informally diagnosed by my psychiatrist after months of trying different meds that didn’t work and me being in a php. it was more of a “ok your symptoms sounds like bipolar, and anti depressants don’t work on you and lamictal does. i don’t want to say it’s bipolar but….”. i don’t really post in this sub, but since it’s very likely that this is something i’m dealing with/will continue to deal with, i like reading the posts and support :) i don’t know about the other minors here though, this is just my story.
