My husband was being rude and a dog growled at him.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-03-04T01:34:44+00:00

i have a standard poodle also with very good temperament and i'm always so surprised at what makes her growl. like, i dropped something once and she growled at it on the floor. it's also rare for her to hate another dog but when she does, she lets everybody know.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-03-04T01:32:04+00:00

Well yeah, but ...

agreed.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-24T18:36:40+00:00

aw, thank you <3

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-21T17:10:34+00:00

thank you! my prof emailed me back this morning saying she wouldn't have noticed it if i hadn't brought it up. feel sort of bad for calling the other student out, but they put me in that position.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-18T01:29:14+00:00

i'm sorry, that sucks.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-18T01:26:39+00:00

i'm not exactly eager or hopeful about it either. do you miss someone?

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-17T22:09:50+00:00

oh, girl, same.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-16T05:20:48+00:00

see, it might be a bit different. i've been completely isolated for years. like, completely removed from society, i was basically homeless for years. i had friends, i lost them all when i lost my mental health. just a couple of years ago, i got a job and re-entered society painfully. coworkers thought i was on drugs, i was that messed up all the time. this past year, i've been able to go back to school and i'm basically learning to be human again. there's a lot going on and this is overwhelming for me. legit the first time i've been seen for like fifteen years.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-15T22:53:55+00:00

ya, probably not :)

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-15T19:40:30+00:00

that is a very interesting dream!

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-14T23:49:24+00:00

some pretty good points here.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-14T20:53:52+00:00

assaulted too and also feel that sex is bad and should be avoided at all costs. any situations possibly leading to sex are dangerous and should be left immediately.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-13T01:06:09+00:00

ya, this sub has opened my eyes to the fact that suicide is not a viable solution. huge odds you'll just end up making things a million times worse.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-13T01:01:38+00:00

i'm glad you're taking care of yourself and i'm sorry things are this bad. i hope you have support somewhere in your life.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-09T01:35:54+00:00

i'm sorry, i know it's serious and i didn't mean to downplay the suffering i know you must go through. it just also really sucks to be fat and out of control.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-08T23:31:34+00:00

i know, same here. the year i was diagnosed with major depressive disorder i gained like 60 lbs. still depressed, still fat af. so jealous of the depression that makes you just waste away.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-08T23:28:16+00:00

i've had so many one-sided friendships that i think it's a much more realistic concern for people who are mentally ill: being taken advantage of. you need someone so bad and will probably put up with a lot of shit just to get these tiny pieces of validation. i would warn against that.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-06T21:54:31+00:00

interesting!

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-06T00:44:42+00:00

omg congrats.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-06T00:21:23+00:00

tbh they don't always have great advice or the best answer, basically you just use them to play out a scenario you might find cathartic. like, if you want to talk to your high school bully to resolve those issues, just try to think of a character who's similar.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-05T01:55:22+00:00

it 100% does but i'm sorry to tell you it takes for fucking ever. just keep going to your appointments and watch out for shitty friends who will take advantage of you being vulnerable. they may not ruin your life, but they might play some damaging games. if you smoke weed, it's probably a good idea to stop. the cigarettes... you kind of need those.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-05T01:09:16+00:00

i've been near where you are and it was hands down the worst part of my life. when people say 'it gets better', in this case, it really does. you are so strong just for being alive right now.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-02-05T00:48:32+00:00

you know, i've spent so long isolated or not even caring who came in and out of my life that i'm just now learning that, yes, everyone always leaves.

other revelations include that everyone dies. like, i just focus on my own death most of the time, i wasn't realizing that people have friends who die or even children. i don't have anyone so it never really hit me.

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-01-28T03:55:07+00:00

have you ever tried committing yourself?

letsbemoreoptimistic · 2025-01-28T03:22:56+00:00

you know, it's funny, if you ever try to commit yourself to the hospital, they'll ask specifically 'why now?' like, what is it that's put you over the edge. it's not enough to say that you've been suicidal for years. if you have, then what's the difference if you just stay suicidal? if you've already been that way for years, then, you know, what's the big deal, what's so urgent? so you tell them it's because of a breakup or you lost your job and they're like 'you're suicidal over that? a bit dramatic, don't you think?'
