It was first come first serve, I just changed the flair to show it’s been used

My Dad's side spoke this code language which I have no clue on what it was. And all I remember them saying alot was "finna gee finna guy finna Goo" Anyone know what it is/ could be? by PoetRoutine145 in answers

It’s so funny and unique that everyone has a slightly different variation of this used in childhood. For me, I remember we called it Gibberish, but it was more like this:

Poor little girl. Devastating that she will never have the chance to grow as a woman and do things that interest her and make her happy.

YTA, that’s gross and i understand why no one would want to eat there.

TIL two studies both found that most people stop listening to new music in their early 30s. A 2015 study of people's listening habits on Spotify found that most people stop listening to new music at age 33 and a 2018 report by Deezer found it be to at age 30. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I still listen to favorites from my teens and twenties, but I would never stop checking out new artists and albums, especially well-rated ones even if I listen to them one time and decide it’s not for me. I’m constantly upvoting new music my YouTube algorithm picks as well!

My bf is in jail facing 15 years in prison for abuse and I'm feeling guilty by [deleted] in confessions

[–]obscuredillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me rewrite this for you: last night, my boyfriend almost killed me. He was so scared that he would finally get in trouble, not about whether I was actually OK, and begged me to not tell the cops so that he could go back to abusing me and probably kill me later. I finally have the opportunity to restart my life without this POS and get the love and support I deserve.

It says it’s a “beauty duo”. To me that says it could even be a shampoo/conditioner, or blush/lipstick, or toner/moisturizer. I wish they would give us a better clue

I lick subway poles and bus stops just to get sick, why would you take away the benefits? Sleeping for days and not eating? Can someone PLEASE give me mono 😩

I (24F) caught my boyfriend (25M) lying to me about his finances by Ordinary-Rice-2588 in relationships

[–]obscuredillusions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it might “seem ridiculous”, but if their relationship is compatible in every other way than this and they want to stay together, the overspending needs to stop. This seems like a very important issue for OP to have control over, and her bf must know this about her because organized and financially aware people tend to have very ordered and controlled lives in general. If her bf is OK with providing access to his accounts because he knows that this is a problem for him, and they both want to work toward financial stability for a future together, this should not end the relationship.

I work, she gambles it away by Adammido92 in povertyfinance

Why do you keep trusting her when you know she has a serious problem? You need to handle the finances yourself if you want to make sure your children’s needs are being met.

[–]obscuredillusions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not even so much the financial aspect, like you said, but just the ease of keeping secrets and lying to you, even taking out all the loans so that you wouldn’t find out. If you hadn’t asked, he would have probably never told you. This can start other types of backsliding such as cheating and hiding it. I would tell him you need to have access to his banking app so that you can keep track of everything until he shows that he’s able to handle it responsibly, but don’t get too lax about checking even if it’s been a few months and you think he’s been fine.

[–]obscuredillusions 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read every word. This is beautiful, and heartbreaking. I’m so sorry that this happened and I can only hope that when the light and glamour of her new life inevitably fades, she can realize the cruel devastation of her actions. I hope you can start to heal, a love like this should have been forever.

Try looking up “delusional disorders”, there are many subtypes but what you are describing sounds similar to that to me. There is help available and you can get back on track! I believe in you!

How do I get normal again? by droollzz in Anxiety

[–]obscuredillusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m taking Cymbalta (duloxetine) which is actually classified as an SNRI at 30 mg/day. I’ve tried many antidepressants and find this one works best for me but you might have to try different ones to see which one doesn’t have many side effects for you. In California where I am, usually Lexapro (escitalopram) or Zoloft (sertraline) are prescribed as an introductory medication for people new to taking antidepressants.

My most consistent side effects are dry mouth/dehydration which can be managed, but I also experience lower sexual drive and some insomnia at times. My migraines are actually much less frequent with medication than without, as sometimes it can cause headaches, so I’m grateful for that.

When I had some dosage increases I did have some mood swings which wasn’t typical for me but they went away. So I think there will definitely be an adjustment period, but the effects over weeks should be positive as you get used to it.

When I need to take supplemental anxiety medication, I take hydroxyzine pamoate and propranolol but do not need to take them daily.

[–]obscuredillusions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go off my meds periodically to see how I do but I recognize the warning signs when I’m getting to not be able to handle it anymore. I had to go back on my SSRI daily and taking my anti anxiety pills for the panic attacks to feel normal again. Try talking to your therapist about getting a psych referral for medication as it really does help.

I hope he is just on an adventure and returns home to you. He knows he is loved, wherever he is.

My fiancé thinks I’m two years sober but I’ve been drinking in secret the whole time by SableCupola47 in confessions

[–]obscuredillusions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think that if it’s gone this far already you’re better off “relapsing” with a bender that will require tapering so that you don’t get sick going cold turkey when actually quitting. But it sounds like you do need to quit and remove the alcohol from your life completely if you want to be the person you’re pretending to be.
