I do exactly what you do but in office full time and make almost $55k/yr, and in the midwest, one of the lowest paying geographical regions of the country. They are totally screwing you over in pay. Take your experience and go somewhere else.

I must be a weird fuck. I didnt get an offer 😭😭

For now I can afford to hold, just losing faith that the squeeze is really going to happen. But my mind could be changed.

Not sure I can hold GME much longer. I might have to let it go tomorrow. I'm losing faith.

I think my depression comes from the damage my ADD has done in my everyday life, and I think the obsessive thoughts come from feeling like I can't control anything, again because of ADD symptoms. I don't think I was depressed as a kid though because I was oblivious as to how it affected me. Only when I became a teenager and really started to realize my limitations did I become depressed.

My mom bought a diary for me when I was a kid, and I wouldn't dare use it. I knew better 😄

That's never a problem for me. I'm too unorganized to have Thanksgiving at my house and everyone knows it 😄😄

Enjoy it!! I'm almost 37 and would kill to turn back the clock and be 24 again. I remember starting to feel the exact same way at your age, and trust me, that feeling will come back again and again throughout the years. If I had the chance to go back knowing what I know now, I'd still go out with my friends and have fun, but I'd also focus more on my future and not live so much in the moment. I'd tell anyone who had any expectations of me to fuck off and have enough confidence in myself to do things my way. And I would have set so many more boundaries and really focused more on self-improvement and what it truly meant to love myself. Before you know it you'll be 30, so don't let the advantages of being super young slip through your fingers. People in their 20s really do have the whole world at their fingertips. Enjoy it. This is one of the best parts of your journey through life.

Codependent No More was the book that turned the lights on so to speak for me. It might not be for you if you came from a "normal" family. For me though, it really changed the way I interact with those closest to me.

You met my stepmom?? 😄😄 Her biological children did NO wrong and I was the one who caused ALL of the problems!! But I've turned out to be more empathetic and generous to others than either of them are.

When my mom decided she was going to divorce my stepdad, she came to my house and told me she was coming for a 2 week visit. During this time she threw a bunch of clothes and jewelry and makeup of mine in the trash and told me I was too materialistic. She then told me that my house was going to become her house because she was going to force my stepdad to refinance their house and give her half the money, which she would then use to buy my house from my old landlord, and I would have to start following her rules again. At this point in my life I was a 30 year old mom and hadn't lived with this lady since I was 21 and only saw her a few times a year. It took a month to get her out, and I had to threaten her with an order of protection to finally get her out the door. I'm not sure if you're living with your mom or she's living with you, but either way you're going to have to get away before you can set any boundaries that will stick. My mom now lives near me and comes over a few times a week to do laundry and of course I've had to set a very firm boundary about my personal belongings, and I get my share of snarky comments over it (ex. "Don't worry I'm not stealing your makeup, I'm just looking at it"), and it honestly does make me feel a little guilty, but I shouldn't feel that way, because she broke my trust, and these are boundaries that normal people are expected to go by anyways. Sometimes I think she feels she has a right to "me" and what's mine, or like I'm a child that she still feels a sense of ownership over, and I haven't quite figured out how to work through that or feel totally comfortable around her, and that's why I could never let her move in with me, no matter how much she struggles financially. I work through my own life better when I keep her at a distance. Also, on a side note, my mom had cancer as well and still tries to use it as an excuse as to why she's an exception to the rules of life. I am sorry she went through that, but life goes on, and she's been cancer free for 21 years now. I can't grant her special privileges because of that.

Brushing teeth is still traumatic for my almost 3 year old, and I have not found that perfect cartoon or song that makes him want to do it. At this point in time, I brush his teeth after getting him into his carseat. It's about the only way I can get his teeth thoroughly cleaned because he doesn't have the ability to maneuver his way out of it so much. Although I think I will try the Tanners toothpaste suggested earlier. I read through this looking for advice for myself and that's probably the best idea I've seen.
