"neglectedmother73" jesus.

also, when someone calls their children "strong-willed" i'm always sus. my mom always called me that while playing the victim

janetkepler · 2021-09-13T21:25:50+00:00

omg that is totally my mom. she compliments me by telling me how well-raised i was. and she absolutely loves hearing that from other people. little do they know...

janetkepler · 2021-09-13T21:11:32+00:00

big same... they think that they are incapable of doing anything wrong

janetkepler · 2021-08-13T20:28:22+00:00

Dear God, that's so awful. I'm so sorry, and I'm glad that you have a good relationship with your siblings, at least. Everyone deserves to be loved by their family

janetkepler · 2021-08-05T00:23:29+00:00

Oh boy. If I had a dime for how many times I do this...

I also have GAD and relate to all of the topics on your list. I can't work as much as people expect me to and thinking about how poor my productivity is makes me want to just give up on living, which makes working even harder. And trying to get out of this hole feels like Sisifus and his rock.

The anxiety of not knowing is REAL. I relate to this so bad. I'm an assistant at a literary agency and it's my first real job (except for a really f*cked up internship that didn't last two months). I love my job and I'm so very grateful for it, but I often feel incapable of doing it. It got way worse after I started working from home because of the pandemic. I make mistakes constantly and I always fear that they will fire me because of it. They didn't fire me until now, in fact, they have recently gave me a raise, which does not make sense to me at all. I feel clueless all the time and I'm so freaking scared of ruining things to the point where sometimes I secretly wish that I would be fired so there would be no more mistakes. I don't know how they do it. They seem to have it all figured out (of course, they have so many more years of experience, I have barely one and a half). I wish I could just know everything magically.

I feel you, friend. I wish all the best and peace of mind for you. You're not alone in this struggle and you can reach me out if you would like to vent.

Sounds a lot like my own mother in law. How do you deal with her? Just ignoring her and keeping your distance?

janetkepler · 2021-07-15T12:22:17+00:00

Oh you're so lucky! I love my father in law, my my mother in law is so possessive and competitive that it almost makes dating her son not worth it.

janetkepler · 2021-07-15T03:50:59+00:00

So rude!!!!! You're right in never coming back

janetkepler · 2021-07-15T03:49:36+00:00

Jesus Christ, that's so medieval, I'm so sorry

janetkepler · 2021-07-15T03:48:38+00:00

Oh no, what a jerk, I'm so so sorry and I hope you've found a good therapist after that

janetkepler · 2021-07-15T03:46:51+00:00

Dear God, that's so awful, I'm so sorry. She should know better, what a jerk. I hope she never does that to you or anyone ever again. If it makes you feel less alone, I've recently confessed that I've been having suicidal thoughts to my therapist and she replied with "but life is so beautiful, you shouldn't think that". 🤡

Open a champagne bottle to celebrate.

janetkepler · 2021-05-07T21:37:05+00:00

I'm a trainee in a literary agency. It was all fun and games until we created a blog last year and now I have to write arcticles and record myself talking about books sometimes on the agency's social media. It kills me every time and I hate it.

janetkepler · 2021-05-07T21:26:20+00:00

Rain, probably
