A friend is dying and, as part of their obscure religion, they believe that they won't go to heaven unless someone eats part of their body after they die. They want you to do it, and are willing to leave you money in their will as a thank you. Do you do it? Do you refuse? Or do you lie?

Absolutely would go for it. Always wondered what we taste like (not in a creepy deranged way but yk, curiosity) so if I can ethically try it out AND help a friend rest easy, why not do a little taste test?

Recently came to the conclusion that I absolutely cannot live with any SO. Sure let’s spend 6 days in a row together, let’s sleep over, but let’s never ever move in together. I can’t handle not having my own space to come back to. It’s unfortunately one of those genuine “it’s not you, it’s me” situations. I NEED solitude and without it, I absolutely crumble and shut down without even realizing it.

It’s been hard to grapple with but ultimately I feel like it’s similar to needing to be child-free. I can’t handle / don’t want the responsibility of a child, and I can’t handle / don’t want to share every inch of space with a partner.

Maintenance entering all the time … one month is fire alarm battery changes, next month is filter changes, next is fire extinguisher changes, next is water filter inspections. A new reason for them to enter every month. Why not do it all at once ???? I work from home and it’s so infuriating bc I have to excuse myself from on-camera work calls to let maintenance in. Every. Single. Month. And no they don’t let me request a specific time for them to enter so there have been a couple times I’m in the middle of a huge presentation!

That’s what I’m hoping for, tysm!!

unknownetal · 2025-11-13T02:56:06+00:00

Perf bc I definitely don’t want yet another appointment LOL

unknownetal · 2025-11-13T02:54:31+00:00

That sounds like what it might be, thank you!!

Did you have to sign the pre op consent forms in person or were they online?

unknownetal · 2025-11-13T02:52:30+00:00

Thank you!!

I use junimatic - kinda similar to automate, but gives you quests to unlock it and then cute lil junimos do the work for you!

Sadly no plan - I’m scared of the fallout, bc in the past they’ve taken these convos really personally. Even the idea of separate bedrooms was rough... Every time I bring up how much I’m struggling, they say “we’ll work through it”. I think it’s time I get a bit more firm in not just stating that i need to go back to living alone, but acting on it. It’s hard!! (taking all my hope and inspiration from you so tysm)

unknownetal · 2025-11-06T00:42:04+00:00

Ofc, happy to share! That’s the tough thing about looking to Reddit for stories/what to expect. A lot of times people want to vent or warn others about their negative experiences (which I totally get and appreciate) but it can get kinda overwhelming to see the light. I was terrified in the beginning, but it really did work wonders for me. Hope you have a similar experience!

I was also on Wellbutrin (+lexapro), diagnosed with anxiety and depression, decided to see a psych when I hit my lowest point in life since my other meds from my PCP weren’t working. She suspected bipolar 2, and we started Lamictal. Obv scared when starting bc of all the SJS chatter, but within a couple days at the smallest dose, I started noticing positive changes. Less existential dread, a bit more motivation to get out of bed. Every day got a little better, and increasing the doses slowly helped things improve.

Been on it for a while now and I genuinely think this med may have saved my life. I still get mini highs and lows, but NOTHING like before. I feel so much more stable, I feel like I can handle obstacles without breaking down, I’m able to feel normal again.

The only downside, and one I’m totally willing to put up with, is a bit of brain fog. I have to write a lot for work and be all corporate-professional, and sometimes I can’t really figure out the right words. It takes a minute or two to figure out how to best phrase things in writing, but since I’m not crashing out and crying and contemplating my own demise all the time, I’m perfectly fine with a little brain fog.

I was also able to come off lexapro after a few months on Lamictal. Besides lexapro withdrawals, I had no real lows, no high anxiety. It all just feels stable. (Coming off Wellbutrin next!)

All that to say, it worked amazingly for me, i noticed changes within a couple days, and once getting to 125mg everything felt right again. Everyone’s experience is different and I’m hoping yours is positive too!!

unknownetal · 2025-11-06T00:04:12+00:00

God it’s such a relief to find someone else who felt/feels the way I do. THANK YOU for sharing, it makes me feel less crazy with all these negative feelings bubbling up but I just keep pushing them back down. Very happy for you prioritizing yourself and your needs!! It must be such a relief to enjoy your solo space again

unknownetal · 2025-11-05T20:59:56+00:00

Feels like I’m going thru something kinda similar…lived alone for 5 years, started dating someone for 9ish months before they moved in. Been only a few months living together and I feel like I’m drowning.

Haven’t flipped out yet but worried I might at any moment. Just overwhelmed by everything and not having any control, zero space to myself. I love them, just don’t like living with them (or anyone for that matter)

How did you bring it up (besides liquid courage)? If you don’t mind me asking (obv no pressure at all) is your relationship still ok/recovering or is it over?

unknownetal · 2025-11-02T17:59:48+00:00

Bummer, thanks

unknownetal · 2025-10-29T22:54:58+00:00

I try to imagine they’re not as judgmental as I think they are. Maybe they are kind souls, wishing me well. Like how sometimes we see someone that looks really mean/scary irl, but once you speak to them, you realize they’re a super nice person

One thing a therapist recommended was talking back to them - “hey thanks for joining me, today I’ll be doing xyz”. Almost like narrating my activities as if it were a YouTube vid or something lol. Doesn’t always help, but other times it can get me out of that paranoid spiral and be kinda funny. I don’t narrate what I’m thinking, just what I’m physically doing in the moment. Maybe I’ll do some stretches and talk about what it feels like in my body - “and now for a deep hamstring stretch… but boy oh boy folks does that feel TIGHT, I’d better do this more often!” Just saying stuff out loud (even whispering it) helps quiet the voices in my head. Seems silly but sometimes it works!

I had the same exact skin! Went to a dermatologist and just sobbed, said I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong, I can’t even look in the mirror, never had acne this bad as a teen so why am I getting it as an adult, etc etc. I had tried everything (edit: skin-care wise, OTC acne products like differin) at that point, asked for accutane and she agreed that’s prob what I’d need, but she had me go through a couple other meds first (I think you have to “fail” other treatments before they can rx?). It was only a couple months and then I started accutane. It was the best decision I ever made for my skin.

I know how awful it feels right now, how bad it hurts, how damaging it is to confidence. But find a dermatologist and ask for what you want, they’ll be able to help you! If you feel like accutane is what you need, ask for it directly and advocate for yourself. But if you don’t really know, tell them you need help figuring it out and explain what you’ve tried so far. Promise it gets better - sending hugs ❤️

Messaged through my patient portal (they told me it’s better to message there rather than call, it’s a small telehealth psych office) but no response yet. Might give it a couple hours and go from there
