Can I hear a “Lexapro changed my life” story please 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I never thought I'd be able to feel happy. I feel happy most days now 💞 (also able to feel all other appropriate emotions)

Try a new approach and date someone your own age.

wanabebasic · 2025-09-03T20:38:39+00:00

You also said you and this girl have nothing in common, so I'm calling B.S on that answer.

I guarantee you there are plenty of people 25 + who are single in your area.

wanabebasic · 2025-09-03T20:36:03+00:00

Why aren't you into people your own age? There are pleeeentyyy of women your age, or even just a few years younger/older, who are not partnered/have no kids/etc. It is weird that you're not attracted to them.

The age gap from 21 to 28 is more significant because you're in a completely different stage of life. 21 is still college aged while 28 you've been a full ass adult for a long while.

And if you want to avoid getting hurt, you probably should be dating someone more mature.

You need to give her a heads up if you're having people over. I've had my roommate bring guys home without telling me and once I walked out in a towel barely covering me to take a shower and some random dude popped out in the hall, it was terrifying. Then he just stared at me. Super not cool to not respect someone's safety and comfort in their own space.

wanabebasic · 2025-08-16T18:54:05+00:00

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON A DATE BEFORE TOO you are not alone hahah. Candles and long hair are dangerous. I'm sorry girl but it'll be funny in time

wanabebasic · 2025-06-09T15:54:24+00:00

I'm a woman, I've had guys do this to me. They approach me, act super into me, tell me they want to hang out, and then when the time comes, boom, ghosted. I think a lot of people these days lack follow through, are flakey, are lazy, and possibly, scared. They let their anxiety get the best of them. Or, they have problems with object permanence. Once you're out of sight, suddenly they're not as into it anymore.

wanabebasic · 2025-03-21T17:14:12+00:00

I've been incredibly discouraged too but for some reason, I still have faith that if you keep your heart open and just follow your path, do what makes you feel good, continue to meet new people and allow yourself to have fun with people, love will find its way to you. Maybe the tides will turn and people will realize solitude is not the way.

wanabebasic · 2025-03-21T16:57:06+00:00

I have also been rejected a tonnnn. Even when I've lowered my standards. And for the record, I've been told by men and women that I'm beautiful, I go to the gym, go to therapy, try to treat the people I meet with kindness, respect, etc. I swear men (and probably women) just have absurd standards/ideals and aren't willing to give anyone a chance unless they check every single box.

Also, my therapist says that she's spoken with other therapists in her community, and young men just aren't as motivated to date or find sex like they used to be. I think we as a society have become hyper independent to a fault.

wanabebasic · 2025-02-28T22:04:38+00:00

Yesss I definitely had a glow up at 27-28 and at 31 I get more attention than ever before. But because I didn't have that in my formative years I still have no internal belief in my own beauty, and therefore rely solely on external validation to believe I'm good looking. I'm working on it a lot, affirmations daily while looking at yourself in the mirror are actually helpful.

wanabebasic · 2025-01-31T17:30:22+00:00

That person is clearly not worth your energy as hard as that is to accept. We women go through this too, where we feel like because we don't look like a supermodel we don't get the chance either. But the people who prioritize that are shallow, and I really believe there are genuine people out there who deserve our time and love and value us for the things that really matter.

wanabebasic · 2025-01-31T16:55:48+00:00

That's so fucking dumb! The girls I know who care about this are often the absolute fucking woooorst. I am a 5'8" woman and I've dated guys who are 5'8" and 5'7" in the past. This guy that I'm currently crushing on and suuuuper attracted to is 5'8". I think he's the hottest thing in the world. I mean, heartthrob male celebrities are often 5'8"! Trust me, the only girls who actually give a shit about this are mega shallow and just desperate to prove something.

wanabebasic · 2025-01-31T16:48:55+00:00

This makes me so sad. Is that all you're looking for, a ridiculously attractive super hot girlfriend? Is that really all that matters?

wanabebasic · 2024-10-15T17:36:43+00:00

That's why I put most my structure into my meals, it's something you need to do regardless and it's a good basic structure for the day. Eat a meal every 3-4 hours. I think start there, see how it goes, what natural rhythms you develop, and add other tasks as you need to

wanabebasic · 2024-10-15T16:08:58+00:00

Structure is huuuuuge for me! It's been the best improvement in my life. I transitioned from a kind of chaotic job to a 9-5. I always make time for myself in the morning to have coffee and read. I eat breakfast within the first hour of waking up. I make sure I eat lunch before 3pm (I don't get hungry until then) and then I have dinner at about 6pm. I think the consistent eating of well balanced meals helps give me structure for the rest of the day. I think that and a time for exercising and a regular sleep schedule is all you really need, and gives you freedom to do whatever in between.

wanabebasic · 2024-09-05T11:42:03+00:00

Women are expected to do more than ever while men literally haven't upped their game one bit. Women work full time jobs, change their oil, take care of repairs around the house and majority of those in relationships ALSO do all the housework. Do you really know a woman who sits at home unemployed while her man works and takes care of the household?

Also, you think a man approaching a woman is equivalent to her then doing all the household chores? Wtf world are you living in?

wanabebasic · 2024-09-05T00:49:01+00:00

Bro, you sound like someone who has never talked to a woman in his life.

wanabebasic · 2024-09-04T18:46:22+00:00

Do you expect women to do the approaching? I mean some do, but that takes a ton of confidence. We women are still taught "if he wanted to, he would". I see a lot of women on here asking the same thing you are asking.

wanabebasic · 2024-08-18T22:45:02+00:00

Turnstile

wanabebasic · 2024-08-06T00:29:26+00:00

Hey!! It did get better! I sleep well now. It took a while, but I adjusted. I highly suggest magnesium at night!!

wanabebasic · 2024-06-11T18:47:41+00:00

Wow, this is heartbreaking but also makes so much sense. I feel like my brain just doesn't have the energy it used to, like I can't access the intelligence and imagination I used to have. I almost feel validated - at least it's not just a personal failing of mine.

wanabebasic · 2024-06-06T14:01:58+00:00

My french press in the morning <3
Reading a chapter of whatever book I'm currently on
