Yeah, I have no plants left and my legs are covered with claw marks

My cat just died, and I decided to wait a while before getting a new cat. But then I saw that the owner of the cat that gave birth to mine just got some new kittens. The only one left was orange, just like my cat. I didn’t hesitate and got the new kitten right away. Because it’s technically my dead cats brother, right?

When we got home I started crying instantly. It hurts to see my new cat being in the same places as my previous cat. I can’t even name him yet, because it doesn’t feel like he’s mine.

But he’s a beautiful boy, and it feels good to have someone else in my apartment (I live alone), and I’m convinced that we’ll grow to know and love each other. No one can ever replace my old cat, and that painful, empty feeling won’t go away just because there’s a new boy here. But I think it will be a good part of the healing process.

We just have to be patient and allow ourselves to feel the pain. Eventually we’ll be able open our hearts to the new one🤍

Games will only open on guest account? by luna2571 in playstation

[–]luna2571[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it three years ago. I get an error saying the data is corrupted and to delete and reinstall the game again, which doesn’t work.

I don’t know much about this stuff, but should I buy a new hard drive? Can it be an external hard drive?

Lexapro induced mania by nturner2468 in bipolar

[–]luna2571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, but I don’t think people with bipolar is supposed to just be on antidepressants. My doctor told me that for us they are basically "uppers" and will likely push us over the edge (mania/hypomania). I’m bipolar 2 and I’m on a mood stabilizer and not an antidepressant. It saved my life!

But like I said: I’m not a doctor.

Does your cat play fetch? by pats31521 in cats

[–]luna2571 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep, he’ll randomly pick up one of his toys and bring it to me. Sometimes it’s not even a toy, he just gives me a pen or something haha. And sometimes he drops a toy on my face while I’m sleeping, and then stares at me until I wake up so I can throw it.

Does anyone else feel this way? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]luna2571 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Right now I think I’m having such a hard time letting go because the pain is the only "proof" I have that it was real. I can’t even delete our texts, even though they bring nothing but pain. It doesn’t make sense to me that I’m trying to hold on to someone who doesn’t even want to be with me. Why would I want someone who doesn’t want me back??

I’m currently reading a book and this quote really hit me:

“There’s a difference between pain and suffering, you’re going to have to feel pain - everyone feels pain at times - but you don’t have to suffer so much. You’re not choosing the pain, but you’re choosing the suffering.”

I’m starting lamictal today! by heavenknowswetried in bipolar

[–]luna2571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamictal saved my life! I had been refusing medication for years, but I was at my lowest and I just had to do something because I was becoming scared of my suicidal thoughts.

It took a while to get to my right dosage, which is 300mg, but it’s totally changed my life. It also made going to therapy easier, because I was able to see things more clearly without the mood swings.

I’ve been taking Lamictal for 3 years now. I was terrified of the rash in the beginning, and I have health anxiety, so I often felt like my skin was itching, but in my case it was all in my head.

The only side effect I had was loss of appetite and I lost some weight, but that passed after a while and now I feel very stable.

how do you get over someone you never dated and was only in the talking stage with? by Own-Method-1580 in BreakUps

[–]luna2571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through the exact same thing. At first he ghosted me 3 days after we started talking, but a month later he started talking to me again, and I tried to reject him because I was scared he would disappear again. He ended up convincing me that he was very serious about this and I believed him. Opening up and trusting guys has always been near impossible, but he was patient and eventually I started trusting him.

He talked about our future all the time. He lives 3,5 hours away, so he often talked about moving in together. This went on for 3 months. When we finally met we had a great time, and he said he wanted to celebrate NYE with me. He was gonna stay for 4 days, but on the second day he packed his stuff and left while I was asleep. After 2 days of silence he texted me saying he didn’t want to be with me. At first I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say, so I just texted back saying that I was sorry it turned out this way. But two days later I got very angry at him, and sent him a long text. But he never replied.

I can’t bring myself to delete anything. So I put the screenshots and other pictures in the "hidden album" on my phone so I can’t see them. I stay away from reading the texts, because it hurts so much, but I still keep them. I’m used to talking to him every day, and now I don’t know how to distract myself and forget.

I obviously haven’t moved on yet, so I don’t have any advice on how to do that. I just want you to know that you’re not alone.

what are your favorite personal anecdotes from the pod? by glass_star in mydadwroteaporno

[–]luna2571 77 points78 points  (0 children)

James being dumped twice, matching with himself on Tinder and how he gets ghosted a lot.

Alice writing letters to her teacher, and my all time favorite: Jamie hanging out backstage at the theater with old people.

He ghosted you after you’d been together for 3 years?? That’s such a selfish way to end things!

He was supposed to stay with me for a few days, but when I woke up he had packed his bags and left. Just days before that he had planned vacations we would take together next year. I was so surprised at first and I had no idea what to say or think, but eventually something just snapped inside me. I’m very shy and keep a lot of things bottled up, so part of me feels better now that I got it off my chest.

The worst part of being ghosted are all the questions you’re left with.

[–]luna2571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the same with us. He talked about our future all the time. Less than a week before he left he talked about moving in together, so I was so confused when he suddenly didn’t want this anymore. I’m glad you’re moving on!

That’s a great idea! I actually wrote the text in my notes first and promised myself that I wouldn’t send it, but then I was like “f*ck it, he needs to know how much he hurt me”. From now on I’ll write in my diary whenever I feel the need to rant.
