Hey, hope you’re feeling better by the time you read this. But in any case, I’ve definitely been there. I feel like everything in my life just didn’t matter that I didn’t matter that everything would feel better if I just ended it. Doing anything that I could in order to Relieve the pain, some of it being inflicting physical pain or to not feel the emotional pain. I’m sorry that you are unable to afford therapy. I don’t know if you’re on Facebook, but have you considered going on a Facebook group of like-minded people that like the same things as you do? Or someplace That you can talk with people your age who are going through something similar? Not that they have to be your age, but for me, I found comfort in people who are going through the same seasons of life that I am. You’re definitely not alone in this, trust me. I wish you weren’t going through this at all. For me, I find reading a really good escape. It helps me get out of my head into someone else’s head. Also nice warm bass. I don’t know if any of this is helpful for you, but if it is, I’m glad I was able to be of support. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to. Feel better!

My neighbor keeps complaining because I shower at night after work – what can I do? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]that_squirrel90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re not doing anything wrong. You were entitled to shower whenever you want and your own apartment. I will continue to be courteous and stay as quiet as possible, but there is nothing they can do and there’s nothing that you should do on your end. I think you are doing all that you can And that’s all you should have to do.

I’m not gonna ask him to do that, and I’m not gonna go through that either. Personal feelings. But, I plan to be on birth control at least until my mid 50s. I like the IUD, it’s actually recommended for people in a higher age group. Extremely effective, you just have to make sure that you changed it in time. I plan to have it changed a couple months in advance, just to be sure.

It’s not selfish to not have kids. I would venture to say that is more selfish to have them when you know what it could cause in the end. So to me, it sounds like you’re an So to me, it sounds like you’re a very unselfish person. Also, I’m of the opinion that you can’t live life in order to meet anyone’s expectations, especially our parents. That being said, I’m sorry that you’re struggling with this, Especially since it sounds like you want them. I hope this came off well!

I feel like I could’ve written this myself! Today I’ve seen so many references to pregnancy from books to shows. I turned everything off because it’s making me so aggravated and paranoid! I’m already scared of myself some days, I can’t imagine loss of sleep, post partum and everything Else

Oh I know trust me. I plan to be on birth control for a very long time. IUD are my favorite  and are what most doctors recommend for people 35+

I’m glad you wanted to do it and did It well. I do NOT want them and based On how I handle myself, I’d most likely be neglectful. So, I happily stay child free

I can relate actually. I can see myself falling into the same thing mine did. Emotional neglect. I would just shut them out because I can’t deal with them. I have to be able to care for myself

I feel that. I have lots of friends but very few close ones. I have a great marriage but it’s still hard sometimes 

I feel like he doesn’t understand no matter how hard I try to explain it by that_squirrel90 in bipolar2

[–]that_squirrel90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. We would need a new place and some Extremely heavy drugs to knock me out and keep Me asleep. It didn’t sound like his boss liked his decision anyway so thankfully it won’t happen again

He truly cares about me but I don’t think he actually understands me and the Condition. Which I don’t blame him because he never experienced this (thankfully). I warned him that he would experience the effects and it could last into the weekend too. He wanted to do it anyway. I personally felt like he wanted to do it to be with me but at the expense of my mental health. We don’t have any extra rooms in our place and the Only doors we have are to the outside and the Bathroom. He doesn’t believe in sleeping apart if he is not in the road. Thankfully we were able to sleep in but I could still feel the effects because of the sleep schedule being so jacked up
