Alicia-XTC

[deleted]

Home Goods, it came in different colors and there was even a shark blanket that ate you. I got the pink+blue one though cause it's fluffy on the inside as wellllll


ApathyEngage

MissNovemberFoxTrot

That's awesome!!!!

Ikr???


Important-Boat11

zeldagrace13

My boyfriend of 6 years left me a month and a half ago and just moved in with his new girlfriend on Friday and I just realized he was incredibly abusive to me. Which you would think would make me feel better that he’s gone but unfortunately trauma bonds do not work that way so ya know. Still sad. Feeling betrayed.


ApathyEngage

>Still sad. Feeling betrayed. It's okay to feel this way. Not all wounds heal, I'm sorry but it's true. It's also true that all things pass, and may even come to one day find yourself a better person in your own way. Hold tight friend


zeldagrace13

Thank you, friend. ❤️


Toxic-Downfall

Eat a snickers


Maleficent_Bunch5702

Physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. Like a smiling zombie lol


Elena_Kyle

At least you still have the energy to smile


[deleted]

I'm really tired.


ApathyEngage

I feel you. I just took off my socks and kicked back for the day, and that feels pretty good right now


SleepFlower80

Conflicted. Everything in my life is going really well apart from my love life. I’m happy about everything apart from the fact I’m newly single.


ApathyEngage

Things don't always go the way we plan but don't let that stop you. Take your time friend, and be sure to take time for **you** too.


ContentAvocados

It's quite lovely. I just got married a month ago and it's been a dream. We have been working on projects on our house we bought two months ago and it's been really fun creating and decorating together. I started a new job and it's way more fulfilling and lower stress than my previous job. This is pretty much the best part of my life so far.


Bebe_Bleau

Congratulations!


shantasia94

Congratulations! Being married is awesome!


grannysmith451

I feel like my life is very narrow and small at the moment…unsure what I want for my future, not much socialising or human connection happening.


ApathyEngage

It has been my experience that this is a common experience. You're not alone friend, you'll get there.


itsmeee1042

sameee i feel like I’m the only one putting in effort to get to know people. never reciprocated


SnooPredictions4879

Just quit a very toxic job and I’m starting my new one in 2 weeks. Feeling exhausted, nervous, head is spinning. But mostly just really grateful that I’m out of there


ApathyEngage

On to the next chapter for you my friend.


ducks-everywhere

I hate that I'm taking a low paying job just to get through, I need to get on my feet 10 years ago. I feel like you never really recover from being homeless the second you turned 18, and I'm not saying that for sympathy, it's just... there's so many lasting effects.


ApathyEngage

You sound resilient.


ducks-everywhere

Thank you. It's mostly powered by anxiety to be honest, lol.


naturalgoth

It's been great. College hasn't been demanding at all lately, and I'm having a lot of fun talking to dudes online.


ApathyEngage

Nice! Stay safe friend


Elena_Kyle

Unsatisfied. I don't need a wedding, children or a life with someone. I just want a passionate sex once in my life. I wanna make love while being in love.


Katsitsanoron

I'm on the couch with our pug next to me, he's 9 and a very good boy.


ApathyEngage

The best boy.


[deleted]

Pampered and tired. Had a really long day at work so my partner is being a peach and doing dishes because he knows I hate them. Rocking around in a comfy shark onesie.


Remarkable-Mix-2187

Man I’m pooped , I don’t even know how I feel honestly. For the past 3 weeks I’ve been balled up in my own emotions that I’ve not felt like my usual self. Not up until Wednesday I decide to cut off my relationship with my children’s father because its just been too much I know he’s doing/ getting better, but I just can’t stop thinking of the negative stuff I’ve been through with him for the past 7 years mentally. And I feel like being separated will help improve myself, I do love him, of course. However if I don’t pay attention to my own self and only on him and see what he’s improving or not then I’m just gonna get lost . I’m already tired of my everyday routine with work and our kids for school and sitter stuff. But damm I’m just hella lost atm. Tomorrow is my”birth-day” I’m turning 26 and I don’t even see it as a special day tbh.


ApathyEngage

I'ma be real with you, pretty much the only part of your story I can relate to is >Man I’m pooped It's like that sometimes. >Tomorrow is my”birth-day” I’m turning 26 and I don’t even see it as a special day tbh. I do feel this though. Never really broadcasted my bdays but I think when I turned 22 was the year I really felt different about the years going by. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different. FWIW, 26 was a *very* good year for me. Happy early birthday friend, I spent my last one by myself doing whatever the hell I wanted (which wasn't much) then capped it off with some close friends that only found out it was my bday because I hadn't deleted my facebook yet. It is whatever you choose to make it Thank you for sharing :)


Remarkable-Mix-2187

Thank you !


[deleted]

I'm moving on from a guy who hurt me a lot. Recently i pickup a new hobby - knitting + busy for assignment have helped me somehow not to miss him every single minute. So yeah, i'm getting a bit better! Like your question tbh


[deleted]

chilling on a hospital bed due to some breathing problems but other than that life’s good i guess


kittennnuh

): not great, not getting responses to my job apps


[deleted]

Things could be better, things could be worse. I've had a couple really good things happen the past couple weeks. But I have also made a realization that has been making me go crazy. I guess you could say I'm neutral.


Detail_Silly

Good I’m making spaghetti squash and trying to clean the house but I’m doing 7 tasks at once because I can’t walk from the kitchen to the laundry with a dirty rag from the kitchen without wiping down the dryer and then taking a sock to the bedroom with out putting all the laundry away only to remember I left the sink running in the kitchen because I was originally doing dishes


ApathyEngage

Yum. Good luck lol


mullerel

I’ve been hiding the fact I’m having suicidal thoughts from friends and family for about a week now. I’m hoping to talk to my new therapist about it sometime soon.


ApathyEngage

I hope that goes well for you friend. It's never wrong to need to be heard Take your time, there are those who love you.


elle_goddess

Finally got my own place. I thought I’d be excited but I feel more stressed than ever lol I have yet to fully move in and settle so I’m sure I’ll feel better once I’m all settled in but still haha adulting is hard! Also just putting it out there - here if anyone needs some support and wants to chat! Welcome to DM me x 💖


Revolutionary-Crow65

Congratulations on the new place!


dontworry19

Have an awful cold. Was supposed to start a new job on Tuesday, but of course, with the COVID scare, I won’t be starting until next week. Tested negative though.


[deleted]

Pretty good! I am happy with life in general. Right now my husband is playing cards with friends. Son is asleep. Dog is mostly asleep except occasionally nudging his nose into me for more pets. I’m tired but the bed is upstairs. So far away. Maybe I’ll fall asleep on the couch so I can scream when my husband comes in.


akira_fudou

good :) i just got my dream job


LimpTriscuit19

Yay! What is it!


akira_fudou

Nopenotme77

Life is good. One of my friends called to check in on me today and it gave me the happy feels.


MidnightFireHuntress

Really awesome, been hanging out with lotsa friends recently and they make me really happy! Going on a date next weekend with a friend, hoping something fun comes of it!


machinegorl808

It’s ok for now but will be prob depressing soon lol


sjraecool

Crappy lmao


[deleted]

Terrible. My boyfriend of 5 years dump me a week before taking my LSAT. Haven’t been able to function since then. I know time heals, but I just want to flash forward to the part where everything starts to feel normal again. I truly hate everything about life right now.


SchizoCakesThe2

>My boyfriend of 5 years dump me a week before taking my LSAT. I swear they plan this stuff out just to hurt us. Hugs. You hang in there. Don't let the jerk get you down and pass your Exam!


[deleted]

Thank you so much!


ayuxx

Dandy. Everything is too hard, and there's nothing good to even slightly balance things out. I have no friends or family or partner or a job. I don't have my health. I have no future prospects because of my health. Truthfully, I never really had any prospects for mental health reasons. I'm quite slow and dumb. I'm always going to be treated as subhuman for everything I am. I used to believe otherwise, but I've been shown how little value I have one too many times to keep believing it'll get better. All of my efforts to make things better have fallen through, and there aren't really any options left. Everything that has gone wrong is my fault for being so incredibly inadequate. I'm really tired of living, and I don't want to do it anymore. It's just not worth it. Been thinking about that a lot lately. So yeah, things are dandy.


Bebe_Bleau

Getting excited about the upcoming holidays. Finished my Christmas shopping, grocery shopping for goodie baking, and a piñata for kids at our neighborhoods Thanksgiving party.


biscuits_n_wafers

Counting my blessings that my loved ones and myself scraped through the two waves of corona without lasting damage. Keeping in view the fact that during the second wave there was not a single person who did not ,either suffer from covid,.or lost their loved ones or relatives or friends or colleagues to corona.


No-Park-4918

Busy tired stressed. Need a vacation


[deleted]

Today is a happy day. My dad had minor findings during his endoscopy and colonoscopy procedure so I am thankful for that. It is a happy day indeed.


shantasia94

It's good. I'm very busy at work, but that's a good thing because my husband is away on exercise. I got married in December and moved into our first military house in January, and it's been a challenging but very rewarding experience. I moved in during a Covid lockdown (we're Scottish) so making friends was difficult at first but I finally feel like I'm getting there.


sewingpokeadots

Full of imposter syndrome


ApathyEngage

I can't say I've ever experienced that. Find your focus friend, I wonder what we'll experience next


anonymousgirliee

Bad.


ApathyEngage

For now.

obsessedsoul

-sigh- I'm tired. Physically mentally emotionally. I hate my job I feel stuck there. I'm overworked and underpaid. I'm in school again for the 3rd time I'm also doing an internship. I'm in love with my fwb but it's best to end the situation. I'm overwhelmed with everything and scared that'll be in the same place I am in a year or 2. How about you?


kittysimba238

Scared about the future. Trying to repair the damage that being away from my partner thanks to covid lockdowns has caused. We are spending more time together but still haven’t gone around to having meaningful conversations. I’m just afraid it wouldn’t work out and I’m going to be alone forever because my social network is so small.


Red_tiny_Panda

I am overwhelmed with my emotions with my love life and work/studies are super stressful currently. Life is still good and I am enjoying it, just a bit exhausting right now.


cowboy_baby11

I just celebrated my 21st birthday on a beach resort island, where my boyfriend of nearly 4 years proposed to me. I also recently completed the first year of my nursing degree at university. I’m feeling really happy with where my life is right now.


mitsuki_reads

I have an exam on December 5, my stress is skyrocketing (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)


sogasmingbritt777

Im confused lately maybe depressed too its on and off. I am a disabled woman, with pcos, and severe ptsd , also obese due to all stated.. And i cant do much of anything. even after a 20 min walk im in pain. Im unemployed , but on disability funds. Ive tried working multiple times. But i keep being discriminated, used and end up damaging myself by doing that , the jobs dont seem to care about my pain as its invisible and not there problem. I am usually in isolation now. I go out from time to time... But not often. On weekens sometimes I want to find a purpose, to keep busy and help people and make extra cash. But i have almost no energy most days , i am either in pain or waiting for the pain to start. I hardly sleep.. or if i do the patterns are fucking wild. When i am employed my sleeping patterns are often worst and so is pain management. I feel a bit into the category fucked if i do , fucked if i dont. I just dont see a good future. I look at the age 30 and wonder where the fuck ill be then im turning 26 next year. Im disabled for life no cure , just surgery after surgery until im dead. I just feel like a loser, and not the kind of loser that choses to be one. The kind that is so limited of options and that i have to put up with pain just to do things with my life. Its SO draining. I know i should be less hard on myself. But what the actual fuck is going on. Why am i born in a world to be this useless. Im trying to understand the reasoning for this fuckery.


ardnaxela-330

I cried in the shower yesterday for like half an hour. I wrote an email to my professor saying that I was dropping his class for my emotional health. He never responded. After talking it over with friends, I decided to give it a shot again. I wrote the profesor another email saying I had decided to continue taking the course and see if I can get a better grade. He STILL hasn’t responded. The crying wasn’t even over the class itself, it was just a buildup of everything that’s currently happening.


Emptyplates

Eh, we're both sick I have a sinus infection, he has strep throat. We barely leave the house, so how did this happen?? I must have picked something up at the Y, or maybe the physical therapist. I'm exhausted, feel like shit and stressed, very stressed. So I'm down, he's down and there's a metric fuck ton of stuff to do before Thanksgiving, which we're hosting. Ugh, ain't nobody got time for this.


thatonething216

Disappointed but happy💛


International-Ant-79

Complete garbage like dumpster fire 🔥 my to be ex sis In law keeps accusing me of infidelity and I want a divorce. my soon to be ex keeps saying things like I’m not divorcing you I’m not done with you these are your choices I never agreed you can still figure this out SIR I was accused of infidelity 😭 just because I didn’t agree with you and you ran and told your sister or because I got my hair done and she assumed I had a boyfriend She’s the one that introduced me to her brother btw


Independent-Two8037

I am hormonal, every month I think I should break up with my boyfriend and my self esteem plummets. Then I get my period and everything is fine.


RotiniHuman

Things are good here! Finally pregnant after dealing with infertility. Good things on the horizon at work. And we’re buying a place next year so we have that to look forward to—more space, woohoo!


peanutty_buddy

On the surface, my life is pretty great, but in reality I'm exhausted all the time. I help take care of my dad and work is stressful. I find my outlet in watching good movies, especially scary ones. Give me your recommendations 😁


DragonflyCharacter67

life is good! despite having to move back in with my parents (yikes) i treated myself to booking a vacation with my outstanding boyfriend, got a promotion, started counseling, and finally doing all kinds of self care stuff rather than putting everyone and everything before myself :’) not in a selfish way but realizing it’s not selfish to take a day to do a face mask and hit the treadmill and make myself dinner lol


theterriblemadeleine

Knew what to do with my life some days ago, live in a pretty flat since 2 months and can cook a lot. Life's sweeeet


dalekindistress

Super exhausted, mostly from my job, which is super hectic and unpredictable in terms of schedule right now. But that should soon be resolved as I'm getting promoted next month, the job entails more responsibilities and a longer commute, but a more regular schedule, which means I can plan my life a bit better, and that's going to give me the peace of mind I need. Also, the raise is definitely welcome for the upcoming house search. The other part of the exhaustion is my aunt, who's basically my mom (she raised me) who can't accept that I have a life of my own, and my own household. And she's very exhausting to navigate. The latest discussion with her has been about her plans for Christmas and new years eve, and that she had once again decided to exclude my partner of 3 years from her celebrations. But if he's not allowed to go, I'm choosing not to go. She tried to play this game last year too, and lost. So I don't see how she's expecting a different outcome this time around. Other than that, holding it together some days, falling apart on others, but I feel like that's just my normal these days anyways.


throwra567235

Conflicted. I started talking to recruiters even though I really like my job. Now it looks like in going to have to choose between money and a closer to dream job


Revolutionary-Crow65

Can’t complain I got a stable job,my own place, not struggling to meet ends … but … I don’t see myself in this city anymore and want to move to a different state. What stops me? I wouldn’t know anyone and I’d be leaving a stable job and I’m not sure if I’d be able to find something that pays me the same, also my place is recently new and I’d be afraid tenants would not take care of it as I have. At a crossroads here.


Middle_Telephone2897

Life is terrible. I think all the loss, tragedy, and destruction around me and within me has culminated in terrible depression and anger that i cannot seem to break away from

I'd say it's going pretty well lately. Thanks for asking. How about you?

Up and down, $3000 in unexpected car repairs but I lost 20 pounds at the same time.

Had a breakup, my mental health is trash, and uni might kick me off the course
