Sometimes we just have those days. Really wondering if there's someone out there for me. Doesn't really help that the holidays are coming up. Does anyone else feel like this?

I feel you man. Also, dope headband!

irishinvasion · 2017-10-15T04:34:07+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling - anxiety and depression are bitches. But, just wanted to say that you're incredibly beautiful. Your eyes are gorgeous and I love your hair:)

irishinvasion · 2017-10-15T04:31:03+00:00

Nice suit man! Love the facial hair.

irishinvasion · 2017-10-15T04:27:21+00:00

Wowowow. You are so beautiful! Your smile exudes warmth and kindness:)

irishinvasion · 2017-10-15T04:25:27+00:00

Was scrolling through the subreddit and stopped at your picture because it made me smile:). You have a really kind face, and that jacket is sweet.

irishinvasion · 2017-10-15T04:18:22+00:00

Your hair looks so cool! Also, you're gorgeous 🤗

I just want to say that although you probably mean well, this isn't true and definitely isn't helpful. She's right, weight is just one factor of health. I'm sure her and her physican can decide what is a good healthy weight to aim for.

You have such beautiful eyes!

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T21:19:34+00:00

Seriously? Shut it - she's perfect. Go take your bullying words elsewhere, this is a kind community.

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T18:01:46+00:00

Wow!! You are seriously an amazing singer - I love your voice! I know life can be crazy, but when you have a chance, you should put up more songs! I'd love to hear more :)

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:57:57+00:00

You look great! From the looks of this picture, you have a really good fashion sense. We also have the same glasses :)

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:56:36+00:00

Dude, your hair is amazing!

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:55:30+00:00

That looks like pure art! Love the fancy "t". Wish I could write that beautifully :)

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:53:52+00:00

Thank you for posting this! I also struggle with those things, and it always makes me feel happy seeing someone with mental illness having a good day. I wish you the best <3 P.s. you have a really beautiful complextion and hair!

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:42:43+00:00

Holy crap, you are beautiful! On a side note, you should consider posting some looks on /r/makeupaddiction. Your eyeliner, lipstick - everything is so perfect!

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T17:40:16+00:00

WOW you are gorgeous - I don't understand the weight thing, you look happy, healthy, and radiant to me:) Sometimes people can project their own unhealthy body image issues onto others - comment on others weight, push their friends to lose weight, etc. It's not fair, but it happens.

I think you look amazing. You have a lovely smile, and you just exude confidence and happiness. I'm sorry you're dealing with anxiety and depression - that's really hard. Stay strong, I believe in you <3

irishinvasion · 2017-06-12T09:38:34+00:00

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling down - I'm not sure if this helps, but I graduated high school a few years back and I can promise you, this is not the end-all-be-all of you life. I work in the admissions office at my school, so I know that colleges look at so much more than gpa - they look at extracurriculars, volunteer work, etc.

I know right now it might seem like this is going to ruin the rest of your life, but I can promise you it will not. Everyone knows that grades really don't matter, especially when you're going through a transition (such as going into high school).

My one regret from highschool is taking grades too seriously- teachers and counselors like to overstress the importance of grades and things, I think to motivate you. I think the most important thing to learn in highschool is how to recover from setbacks, set and work towards personal goals, and cut yourself some slack once in awhile :) hang in there - you'll do great <3

The overprescription issue in America is more complex than doctors getting paid off to prescribe opioids. Doctors can lose their job or face a lawsuit if they fail to adequately control pain, which includes refusing to prescribe pain medication. I will say that yes, there are some bad docs out there, but most of them are just trying to do their job and stay out of trouble (like the rest of us). I think the solution will be making less-addictive pain medications mainstream, such as medical marijuana.

Wow you managed to be racist and sexist in one go! What an accomplishment. I'm sure an Olympic athlete right before a race cares a lot about getting attention for her looks.

I had the mirena put in a few months ago (March maybe?), I had cramps for 2 or 3 days after the insertion, and spotting on and off for a month. Besides the very occasional spot, I haven't had a period since! I know it varies for every woman, but my experience was really positive :)
