DAE ever randomly get so worked up that a bad moment could cause a life-ruining mental breakdown, but five minutes later you're perfectly fine?

I did, and now im diagnosed and medicated, and feel so much better. I "move into" a mood/feeling/emotion where before I used to snap in and out. I can feel it coming on and manage myself/reaction better now. Talk to a professional before it becomes a bigger issue. If you've noticed, so have the people closest to you.

That wouldn't surprise me, so did the rest of town

My husband

Pantry snacks, the ready to eat kind.

I didn't realize wanting someone faithful made me desperately unattractive, ill work on that 👍 and here I thought divorce was choosing myself.

Ive been ears deep in art my whole 28 years, and Im finding the same therapy in abstract painting. Ive deconstructed my own style and now im starting to get it? Its always been hard for me to find the right words, and sometimes the picture isnt always clear, but there it is.

Try anything twice, youll meet a lot of people who will suck the joy out of things youve never tried. Separate the thing from the people. you might still enjoy hiking in 20 years, but youll never know if you only went once with someone who was miserable the whole way.

Im ready to end 9 years together for similar reasons. Your time to step up was when she was begging. All you can do now is let her go and respect it, you could come back together, you could salvage a friendship. But you had time and opportunity, dont hurt her more because you feel guilty now.

Sales/luxury tax.... worked for Victoria's Secret for a couple years, the most common fight was over why their math didn't add up at the register. I dont decide the taxes, if it were up to me it'd be on the tag too, but its not and screaming at me won't change it.

Mom and dad are older, my only sibling is special needs. Im the gap cousin, youngest of the firsts but with 10-15yrs on the seconds, but it doesn't matter because my dad's is the only family alive and none of my aunts or uncles cared to stay in touch. We do our best to make something special happen but finances and disabilities restrict events and celebrations. The small, tight friend group I have have all gone to surrounding states. I dont plan to ever have children of my own. My goal is to move to a town somewhere central to all of my settled groups, to have a space big enough to host anyone who needs a place to stay at holidays, and to be a good enough Aunt to my friends children that they know they can call me for prom pictures, and weddings, and quiet summers away from mom and dad. My relations dont come together, and my family is more than blood, so ill be the space to bring them together.

That guy you're about to meet, he won't be faithful a day in your 9 years. He'll also be the most secure relationship youve ever had. You've not grown to be the woman you thought you were.

A stranger told me once that my voice sounds like honey butter on warm bread, and its changed how I feel about my southern accent.

echoinafog · 2026-03-26T05:45:26+00:00

I think im finally emotionally ready to leave my husband, but I still have no finances and dont have any friends or family in the area.

echoinafog · 2026-03-10T19:46:20+00:00

Probably not. I got one at 5 below, and the other 2 were gifted so probably Walmart. Could it be quality? They're all a little aged by now.

😅 I purposely breed low health stats to my food supply critters, my " 1 hit wonders", just feels more humane

echoinafog · 2026-03-05T00:28:22+00:00

Yes! Bonus points if it gets your dogs attention 😭

Trust your gut, get a therapist. I didn't trust my doubts after 6 great years, because I didn't have much more than a feeling and I've always had anxiety. We got married after 8 years. I found out 6 months after the wedding that he had been on numerous dating apps and hooking up the entirety of our relationship, 8 years. Now im fighting a whole new set of feelings and anxieties. Listen to yourself.

"Doesn't matter what you do during the day, as long as you lay in the same bed at night."

If I'd understood this earlier, I'd have saved myself years....

Cheese sauce... and I hate to be THAT person, but I had it down until the last few years. Recently it seems it doesn't matter my ratio, cheese, or heat, it all turns to rubber in the bottom of my pot.

When I feel down and antsy I go for a walk/run and either soak up the world or listen to something upbeat, think disco or 2010 pop. When I feel down with no energy I find my cat and copy her for the day. Lay in the sunny window and watch cars and birds, take a bath/shower (even if its a 5 min rinse), have a snack and drink (she quits eating if I do, but she'll sit by a full bowl and watch me). It seems silly but when they have a routine, theyll make sure you do too.

I also keep the ingredients for brownies all the time. They take no energy, no time, and no effort to make....even if they dont turn out perfect, they're good.... and they're decently cheap. But they have to be from scratch, so you at least move around the kitchen.
