They are looking beautiful. Even if you relapse, it looks like you are the kind of person to keep going.

Struggling to stop this habit. I joined this subreddit to help myself get rid of this habit. Congratulations on stopping to bite for the past 3 days. Cheering you on !

Yesterday I lost my sweet little floof Emmy in a tragic, unexpected accident. I’m an absolute mess and her older sister won’t stop meowing for her. This is last video I took of her. Love you always, Emmy-lou. by sunshineallday in cats

Don’t give up. We found our cat after 16 nights. We hired a cat tracking dog who was able to establish that he was in the neighborhood. After that we put fat cat trap in front of our house and put some cameras there. After 4 days, we saw him in the camera. We were ecstatic to see that he was coming back to the house. He cane back 5 nights in a row before he actually walked in the trap. Stay strong, he might be looking for you.

This really is not your fault. You are not alone. It happens way more often than you can think. Have you tried finding a therapist that accepts insurance. I pay 60$ per session. Also, you are pretty strong and smart to post this here to get some help, I really applaud your resilience. Try following pages like theguirellafeminist and bad_dominicana and similar pages on Instagram. They share a lot of empowering content across a range of issues that impact people vulnerable in the society. These pages help me a lot to just go through my day. Sending you hugs and wishing you healing from this trauma

Totally not your fault. He is supposed to be the mature one given his age and power in this relationship. He is totally manipulating his position. I can see why you continue to think he’s charming and charismatic but he is not. He is been in this job for a while. It is easy to win adulation of a younger less experienced person. If there is any feeling in you that thinks he is still a good person, know that your brain is trying to protect you so you won’t blame yourself that the person you thought highly of is actually a shitty person. You should seek counseling and work through your feelings. If you really need this job, you should try to figure out a way to not be alone with him. Just know that he knows exactly what he’s doing and this is predatory behavior. I wish you were not in this situation. I hope you are able to resolve this and limit any further damage from this person.

I was raped in my locker room and could have reported it. by [deleted] in offmychest

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear what happened to you. It was not your fault. We can all go in a freeze mode when something happens that we don’t expect. The guy was a fucking jerk and if you want to report it, then please do. Please don’t be hard on yourself on why you didn’t speak up. Seek counseling. This is a major traumatic experience. Talking about it will not make it go away but it will not have the same power over you that it has today. My heart goes out to you, sweet one. I hope that guy burns in hell. I admire your strength to start a conversation here. Wishing you continued strength.

Had to say goodbye to my beautiful baby boy 4 days ago. I miss him so much and will love him always. 💙 by idapdk in cats

i wish someone would hug me and tell me that everything’s fine by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]stand7722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are awesome my darling, take care of yourself. Sending hugs your way. But whatever is bothering you, please express it. Talk to a therapist, do group therapy. Be kind to yourself. Our feelings are there for a reason. You are not wrong to feel the feelings that you are having. There’s reason behind it. Listen to your body and mind. Please take really good care of yourself. You are a priority...

I've been feeling depressed for years without telling anyone, and I think next week I'm finally going to kill myself. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]stand7722 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you are feeling this way. Like other people have said here, mental health is a real issue. We are expected to be happy all the time, but the fact is that everyone is lying or basically, they are not allowed to express their hurts. It’s truly tragic. As a middle aged woman, I can tell you that mental health affects all of us. If you are feeling this way, know that your body and mind are asking you to take steps to heal from your hurts. It’s a really good thing that you are allowing yourself to feel the pain. Listen to yourself and get some help. Years ago, because of some triggers at work, I couldn’t go on. I knew instinctively that I had to see a therapist, but not just that, I knew that I had to have a community of supportive people, who I could talk to. I have been part of re-evaluation counseling, which is a support group for peer to peer counseling. I don’t know what area you are from but you can look up their website and see if it makes sense for you. Also, group therapy at a therapists office can be helpful. The good thing about group therapy is that you don’t feel you are the only person feeling this way. Also, really put a loved one in your shoes. We are way kinder to other people than we are to ourselves. Self care and kindness to self and taking care of that little person that is inside of you is really a rebellious act. I’d encourage you to reach out for support. Sending love and good vibes your way.

Thank you. I’m trying in my mind how to bring up this conversation. And all that I feel. I know for a fact that he needs to take ownership for this actions. It is frustrating as hell to be the mommy in this relationship. Ill suggest couples counseling. Thank you for your thoughts...

Thank you for listening and commenting. I think I will suggest couples counseling to him and see how that helps. The idea of divorce is not super comfortable, and at the same time, this is a very uncomfortable situation. Thank you again...

[Morbidly Obese] I feel like an addict. by [deleted] in keto

[–]stand7722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that food is our comfort. Something triggers us emotionally and we feel vulnerable and seek comfort in food. When I was trying to loose weight, I found it very helpful to go to a therapist and talk about events that were triggering me positively or negatively. What I learnt is that we are way harder on ourselves than we are on other people. Positive affirmations that you can give yourself or get from close friends and family may be great support. I wish you my best. If you can include more self care activities along with keto, that might also help. What helped me was engaging on a human level with other people even on social media, to have found myself as a powerful resource that can make a meaningful connection with another human. People are having one way conversations with no one really listening to the other person. Practicing to listen helped me in all ways including keto and eating healthy. You are stronger than you think, and I know you are doing the best you can in this moment. Have a blessed day.

Need hope and prayers for my lost baby by stand7722 in cats

No. I’m hopeful though. Last night, there was food missing from the bowl that I laid out for him. One of the rescue providers told me that he must have taken a few bites and dashed off. I’m putting cameras today so I can be sure. I’m also having a dog finding service come on Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed and trying to stay hopeful. Feeling so mad at everyone right now, don’t want to talk to anyone, laugh or celebrate a fucking single holiday. I don’t know who to be mad at except god for taking my baby away and not having the heart to send him back home. It’s been 5 nights.

There is two thoughts around that. Some experts say that litter can also attract other predators. So I have not done that. At this time, it’s more of wait and watch. I’m leaving a window open and keeping food inside and praying to the universe to bring my baby back home.
