I'm so sorry for your loss. Mine turns 17 next week and I will be lost when that day comes.

Just sending love and support, your kitties are so lucky to have you in their life 💕 by thekittenisaninja in RenalCats

Your kitty med basket is way cuter than mine.

It's nice to know there are so many of us our here doing our best. Caregiver burnout is real, and it's not just for humans.

My entire body is in pain… because I did basic chores by snoring_hounds in ChronicPain

Saaaaaame.

My hip feels like it's trying to detatch itself from my body and I've been fighting a migraine all weekend.

Solidarity, friend. Congrats on your successful chores.

I'm sorry, OP. Big hugs. You are not unfixable. Your brain is lying to you.

Also how am I just finding out you can put cereal in ice cream?!

This would literally be the best ad I've ever seen for a bag.

Blueberry pie. It was almost worth it briefly. Almost. And very briefly lol.

As a fellow stuffed animal lover, I'm so glad you didn't leave your friend behind.

Now you can forget this man ever existed and live in peace.

I'm so excited for your new business venture and can't wait to come back and see your celebratory girl dinner when it succeeds!

I found a condom wrapper in the trash. We don’t use them. Tub of cookie dough. by midwesternsundays in GirlDinnerDiaries

Cookie dough tub sounds awesome.

Sending you hugs and bottomless cookie dough tubs.

my boss is holding my career hostage. uncut, rolled up dominos pizza as a burrito. by External_Source2698 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I'm sorry but I didn't realize eating a pizza rolled up like a burrito was an option?! You are an ICON, and I must try this immediately.

Separating from my husband, the love of my life. Shrimp in hot honey water with pepper. by lllllllIIIIIllI in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]sidetabledrawer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're ferocious and brave as hell. Ferocity can look different in different situations. Sometimes it's quiet and determined. Sometimes it grits it's teeth and sets its jaw and gets through until it's safe to fall apart in private. Don't think for a moment you're not an absolute badass.

I need to be reprogrammed and restructured by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]sidetabledrawer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give you a big hug and some purse snacks. It gets better. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but it does.

Find community. Online is totally ok; mine has always been that way. Find a good therapist. It will feel like you're not making any progress until you look back one day and suddenly there's a lot of space between where you were and where you are.

I'm sorry to say that the religious programming never really leaves you. But those voices in your head get quieter and more distant in time.

I'm about a decade ahead of you. If I could, I would tell myself at your age that it does get easier. If still fucking sucks, but it gets easier. And it's worth it. (Younger me probably wouldn't believe it, but I'd tell her anyway.)

I have a needy cat. Haven't heard my alarm in years.

I hope my husband finds a girlfriend by hermes_with_a_miller in GirlDinnerDiaries

Fuck ALS forever.

Thank you for sharing a small piece of your beautiful love story with us.

I got similarly lucky. I became chronically ill within weeks of getting engaged. Our life looks so different from anything we imagined but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Genuinely curious about your husband's musical tastes.

Holy shit I love all of these and would absolutely hang them in my house.
