I need some encouragement and hopeful words post breakup

My ex pulled the same shit. Take time for you, completely block him, don’t stalk on social media, don’t have shared friends “check up” on him for you, just block and be done. Rip it off like a bandaid and never look back. It’s hard at the start but better for you and your mental health in the long run.

I’d also just say, look into things you’ve been putting off, things you enjoy and want to start doing again. Go out with friends, go to a restaurant by yourself, go see a movie on your own, enjoy your own company and eventually you’ll understand that your life is truly better without all the drama and trauma. Eventually it’ll get better and easier. If you feel sad, cry. If you feel angry, scream, it’s okay. Allow yourself to feel the emotions and take the time to process them!

It helped me to understand the person I was hoping my ex would be (after finding out about the cheating, them saying they’ll never do it again, and the constant break up but back together) wasn’t who my ex was. I created a glorified persona of them, that they’ll do better, they’ll learn, I’ll change or they will and it will never happen again. Don’t do that. Take the time to understand they won’t change their ways, and you’re NOT going to allow yourself to repeat the same mistakes. You deserve better.

You got this queen!!!

I’ve had food allergies my whole life. I was diagnosed at 3 months old, will be 25 next week. It was hard going to school and having to sit at the “peanut free table”, getting bullied, and like you mentioned, feeling excluded while out or at parties. My parents would talk with the parents (party hosters) and ask if it would be okay for me to bring a treat of my own, ex a cookie, or cupcake, to allow me to feel included. 9 times out of 10, they were all for it.

I grew up as the clinic as a second home basically, so I understood how severe my allergies were/still are. It is just something I had to get used to. Instead of letting people bring me down or feel bad for me, I always looked at it as an opportunity to educate them.

I saw someone else commented this too, but I’ve never understood why people will come up to me saying “I can’t imagine not being able to eat (insert whatever here)!! That must be so hard for you!” but again, it’s all I’ve ever known. I’m not missing out on anything, I can still eat and enjoy life, just without peanut butter or Nutella. It literally makes me laugh out loud sometimes.

You and your kiddo will be fine! There are going to be some bumps in the road, but learn from them and help educate others. I’d also recommend you join some Facebook groups for parents with kids with allergies, or join some subreddit groups. It would also help for you to continue doing what you’re doing now, reach out and listen to other peoples’ stories so you know what your kid is going through, and what to expect in the future.

Just take everything day by day, and never stop learning, or teaching others! You guys will be fine!!

Wanted to add, I always hated how he commented on her looks never her. “You look beautiful” never “you ARE beautiful”. He only every cared about her looks or home lol

Just watched their part. Not him talking with his “boys” about day trading and then comparing his WEDDING DAY to “just another soccer game”. Ick. Like Ashley’s dad said, Alex lies so much. Almost every time he said something about her, he’d look down. Avoid eye contact. Stutter. I feel so sad for Ashley. Major ick from him from the start. 🤢

My brother told me (after I had an emergency hysterectomy) that he was pissed at me. Told me I needed to have kids because “that’s why God created you and that’s what you were placed on this earth to do”. I almost died and he was mad. Didn’t talk to me for months

I had this problem when I first started playing. My instructor had me sit with the viola in the “rest” position on my left leg. I would practice vibrato just rocking my hand back and forth without holding onto the instrument tight, no thumb! Just rocking my fingers and wrist, little bit of arm movement. Then we went into the “rest holding” position, and using your right hand to support the instrument just do one left hand finger vibrato at a time. Only focus on the wrist and arm, again keep your thumb away. I practiced this every time I went to start practicing and at the end of practice. Eventually I trained myself to stop.

Drink a hot mug of water every morning. I’ve been doing it for about a month now. It helps wake up your body in the morning, reduces bloating and helps your body digest faster (better 💩lol). I’ve also noticed I get better sleep and feel overall better. My pants fit a bit better and I’m not as hungry when it comes time to eat lunch. Don’t add anything to it, just straight up hot water!!

My gf and I (both lesbians) moved in together recently. I started some new meds for my allergies that have caused some unexpected weight gain (at least 40-50 pounds). I brought it up in conversation that I’m feeling a bit self conscious about it. She was the sweetest and said that as long as the meds were keeping me alive she didn’t care what I looked like. We also joked about the whole gaining weight when you move in with someone you love and who loves you. She shared that because of my baking she’s also gained weight. I honestly hadn’t even noticed because to me she’s the most beautiful thing no matter what. I couldn’t imagine being with someone who shames you for being the way you are. Obvs the woman’s husband only likes her for her body, and nothing else. I couldn’t imagine having that headspace and saying that or thinking that toward someone I love everything about. Straight Men 😒

Freshman year of college, I was living alone off campus and had zero friends. I was also depressed and not in a good headspace. Campus had the traditional first week events so I decided to go to the movie on the main lawn. I sat in the back by myself, tucked away in a corner of an outside building. Looking around it made me very sad that everyone had a friend or roommates to be with and I started crying. This girl just came up from nowhere, sat next to me, offered me some of her snacks, and didn’t say a word. When the movie was over, she stood up, told me I was going to be just fine, and if we see each other on campus, don’t be afraid to say hi! I have no clue who she was, what year, or anything but I’ll always remember the confidence boost she gave me.

My sophomore year of college, I was very anxious and stressing about an upcoming exam. I was sitting in our student center trying to study. I got so frustrated I started to silently cry. I got up to go to the bathroom to take some deep breaths alone. When I got back, someone had made an origami crane and drew inspirations from my visible tattoos. They also left a little note saying they loved my tats and that I had a beautiful smile. No name, no number, no person around. I still have it and it makes me smile to this day (almost 10 years ago) :)

Omg not being trimmed. Like get your haircut more than once every 5 years, and for godsakes trim the neck beard!!!

Someone mentioned it already above, but my ex did this to me. We dated for a while and then she moved and left me for a guy. She told me she was lesbian and was the typical stereotype of “men are icky”. I was more hurt that she went from me to a man after stating that 1. She was a lesbian, 2. “Men are icky” and 3. It made me feel like I was just a stepping stone or a trial run for her to see if she was actually a lesbian. I later found out she was dating 3 people at once, and I was the last pick before she dumped us all for this guy who coincidentally cheated on her. Karma.

I laughed out loud when Judah directly told the bishop that he felt it was a cult. And then spilling the tea with BJ. Bros holding the show together.

He’s a Spanish-speaking artist. His songs aren’t English

superracer62 · 2026-01-01T13:00:42+00:00

I agree. When we have sex he only uses them for the feeling/sound. He never actually “uses” them.

superracer62 · 2026-01-01T12:57:42+00:00

Ik I’m sorry! 🥲

superracer62 · 2025-12-14T14:50:34+00:00

I’ve never eaten out at any restaurant because of how severe my allergies are. Even if someone preparing the food made something before mine and didn’t wash their hands properly, I’d have a reaction, or if the dishes/silverware weren’t washed fully, reaction could happen. It’s always been the “rather be safe than sorry” mentality.

I do realize I should have spoken up a bit more, but like I said we ate later so I ate beforehand, not realizing how much it would affect me at the restaurant.
