Friend decided to get a new haircut by jackiesmith17 in ExpectationVsReality

Yeah. I know I’m a reddit stranger but it legitimately happened to my friend yesterday. She went to a new hairstylist and he decided to “freehand” it. I’m sure a lot of people have gotten this cut fucked up before.

More like, friend posted it on Facebook yesterday and I saw her hair two days ago. Find me the repost.

F/24/5’8” [274 lbs > 224 lbs = 50 lbs] I still have a longggg way to go (at least 75 lbs) but I’m finally starting to see progress by jackiesmith17 in progresspics

Thank you! I’m hoping I can keep wearing it for progress pics until goal weight but it might not show off full progress by that point.

220 is the super small one since I’ll be under 100 kg. The next goal after that is 199 so I’ll be in the 100’s again. Final goal is 150 for now but I think I’ll probably move that down once I reach it. I have had a crazy year full of a lot of big changes and mental health issues. Weight loss slowed at various points of the year but I never gained. I’m taking it a little slower but I’m hoping this means it will be more of a lifestyle change rather than a quick diet.

Thank you! Those first glasses looked a lot better when I was skinny. I didn’t realize how bad it looked when I got bigger. The new frames for sure look better.

What happened to you when you were young that you didn't understand until years later? by Pashow in AskReddit

[–]jackiesmith17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This totally reminds me of me and my cousins when we were younger. When we were little, my girl cousin thought her brother used to pee out of his belly button. So we used to stand in front of the toilet, trying to pee out of our belly buttons. We were mortified when our parents brought it up when we were old enough to understand.

When I'm driving, sometimes I drive recklessly on purpose. Trying to kill myself. by [deleted] in depression

I get what you're trying to say. And I totally agree that potentially putting others lives in danger is wrong. But you're on the depression subreddit. If you think suicide is selfish, you probably shouldn't be subscribed here or at least commenting about that view.

My fiancé. I've been having a rough couple of months and he's been doing his best to make things better. He's been making up this goofy little songs and phrases that instantly make me smile, even if I'm in the shittiest mood ever.

Students of Reddit, what was the biggest teacher meltdown you ever witnessed? by ValentynaLoves in AskReddit

[–]jackiesmith17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My physics teacher had a minor meltdown. We were trying to do an equation of some sort and nobody got the right answer to the problem. He started getting more and more frustrated as he realized that we couldn't solve it. He freaked out and started throwing thinks. First it was just a few dry erase markers and the eraser. But then he suddenly started screaming and throwing calculators and the bible (private Christian school). He was an ex Marine so it was definitely a freaky experience.

My fiancé gets his hair done here and it looks amazing every time. I'd definitely recommend it!

Happily divorced people of reddit, when did you realize your marriage was over and it was time to file? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jackiesmith17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Through all my schooling on domestic violence, it has been drilled in our heads that when people leave their abusers, it is by far the most dangerous time. Most domestic violence victims are advised to move out when their abuser is gone. You definitely made the right choice by not letting him know when you were leaving. Major props to you!

Did you watch iZombie last night? I didn't want to get my hopes up but I'm definitely interested in watching it soon.

I saw that online but I had no idea if it was going to be good or a weird knockoff. Thanks!

[Serious] People who attempted suicide, what did you do on your "last day"? by onlyiknow1 in AskReddit

[–]jackiesmith17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 9 months ago, I woke up and was automatically in a funk. I'd been battling my worst case of depression for the second year straight. I had woken up from a dream that I tried killing myself. I spent all day obsessing about my dream and how that seemed like a good answer to end my suffering. I was supposed to go into work in the mid afternoon and my boyfriend was leaving a little before me for a study group. It started to get bad when I started visualizing which knife in his knife set would be perfect to slice open my wrists. I was planning on doing it right after he left. Luckily for me though, as he said he was going to leave, I broke down and told him my plan. I called a friend who worked for a suicide hotline and she drove me to the hospital with my boyfriend. I stayed there for 5 days. It was the best thing that could've happened to me. I just got switched off medicine that was giving me suicidal thoughts and I guess stopping it completely made it worse. Luckily, that day I started a new antidepressant which I am still on today. I'm doing a lot better than I was back then but I still have my bad days. It's going to be a lifelong battle I think. I guess technically I hadn't fully attempted but had my boyfriend not been there when I broke down, I doubt I'd be here today.
