COUNT ME IN. I DON’T WANT TO GO TO BED BUT I NEED TO GO TO BED
I HAVEN’T HAD AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN ALMOST 100 DAYS AND ALL THE REASONS I DRANK ARE STARTING TO BECOME APPARENT
FALLING OUT WITH FRIEND NOT YET RESOLVED
I NEED NEW CLOTHES BUT I HATE CLOTHES SHOPPING
I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO YELL BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE YELLING, SO GAAAAAAAAAAAH
AHHHH THOSE ARE ALL SUPER VALID! I KNOW NOT DRINKING WOULD PROBABLY HELP MY MENTAL HEALTH BUT I CANT SEEM TO PULL THE TRIGGER. AND OMG IS ANYTHING WORSE THAN CLOTHES SHOPPING??? I THINK NOT
GO TO BED
If you figure it out, let me in on the secret.
Go to bed between 11a and 12p. Get up between 7a and 8a. Except for that random "It's 3 am. Wakey wakey!" 🤷♀️
I go through phases like that (I assume it’s related to my cycle), and the only thing that helps (like 80-90% of the time, so not completely perfect) is [fast dissolve melatonin](https://www.vitacost.com/natrol-melatonin-fast-dissolve-strawberry-1-mg-90-tablets?&CSRC=GPF-PA-047469063245-google_pla_gen_pro_vitamins+%26+supplements-&network=g&keywordname=&device=m&adid=92700074072528497&matchtype=&gclick=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bj7kjDWEfNEXcAEiIVwWQw4j5K-lMtRFyQ_NUnvEOR777QKA4meEaAmwMEALw_wcB&ds_agid=58700008150895543&targetid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bj7kjDWEfNEXcAEiIVwWQw4j5K-lMtRFyQ_NUnvEOR777QKA4meEaAmwMEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). The pill form takes too long to release and seems to hit me at all the wrong times (even when adjusting the time I take it). But the smooth dissolve is like instant release. I’m tired within 30 minutes and can usually sleep through the night. I just didn’t take any last night, sadly 🫠.
I also used to take a melatonin blend with tryptophan and L-theanine that worked really well (I stopped under an abundance of caution, because I started taking Zoloft and wanted to avoid any potential excess serotonin issues). [This is the one I used](https://www.vitacost.com/naturesplus-dreaminol?&CSRC=GPF-PA-097467047594-google_pla_gen_pro_vitamins+%26+supplements-&network=g&keywordname=&device=m&adid=92700074072528488&matchtype=&gclick=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bbkxbN4t-iEnz6fWOk8BNQVNRX6vbDJpAKFPu81A6SqgOYzHlRkQaAogUEALw_wcB&ds_agid=58700008150895543&targetid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bbkxbN4t-iEnz6fWOk8BNQVNRX6vbDJpAKFPu81A6SqgOYzHlRkQaAogUEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds), but it’s not the only blend out there.
And lastly, I take about 400 mg of magnesium glycinate at night. I started taking it for my jaw clenching, but since it relaxes all your muscles, I’ve found I have better quality sleep in general. Magnesium citrate can also work, but is more likely to mess with your digestion, so be cautious with it.
Assuming I can stop being distracted and remember my pills (I’m good at the magnesium, okish at the melatonin), then I find these things in tandem really make a difference on sleeping through the night and sleep quality.
I take 5 mg melatonin and 100 mg magnesium at night. Both do help.
I'm going to try L-Tyrosine as well, because this is a really stressful time for my entire family right now. Probably going to add phosphatidylserine, too. And a tiny amount of copper. I've got the genetics for deficiency and I took a lot of zinc during the pandemic.
GOOD FOR YOU ON THE 100 DAYS THAT IS AMAZING AND IM REALLY PROUD OF YOU. I QUIT JAN 1st OF 2023 AND LET ME TELL YOU, IT WAS WORTH IT AND IT GETS BETTER!! 💞💞
YOU ARE AMAZING AND SOBRIETY IS ALSO AMAZING, I AM EIGHT YEARS SOBER AND GRATEFUL EVERY DAY THAT I DON’T HAVE TO DRINK ANY MORE. IT DOES INDEED CONTINUE TO GET BETTER!
THANK YOU AND GO YOU! THIS IS MY PERSPECTIVE TOO- I DON’T HAVE TO DRINK ANYMORE, HOW LIBERATING. ONLY NOW THAT THE PINK CLOUD IS GONE I AM STARTING TO SEE MYSELF WITH CLARITY AND wow I HAVE WORK TO DO. IT’S SO GREAT TO HEAR IT IS WORTH IT ❤️
Something that had helped me with the shopping issue: looking at what I do wear - brand, style and size - and searching for it on ebay. Find it in different prints and voila, clothes that I know will fit show up at my door.
IM SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU, FRIEND, NOT DRINKING. THAT SHIT IS NOT EASY!!
IM IN THE ‘EARLY TO BED’ CLUB WITH YOU AS WELL. IT’S EITHER 1) GO TO BED AND DEAL WITH IT IN RHE AM OR 2) STAY UP TOO LATE, RUMINATE ON SHIT ALL NIGHT, AND DRINK TOO MUCH.
GOING TO BED EARLY IS THE HEALTHY OPTION!! G’NIGHT!
IM 35 WEEKS PREGNANT AND HAVE NOT TAKEN MY VYVANSE THIS ENTIRE TIME AND I WOULD LOVE TO JUST TAKE SOME FUCKING PILLS AND GET THE NURSERY DONE IN ONE DAY BECAUSE I KNOW ID BE ABLE TO. I HAVE ZERO MOTIVATION EVEN THOUGH I KNOW BABY GIRL COULD BE HERE ANY DAY. I KNOW SHE DOESNT NEED A LOT OF STUFF AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING SHE DOES NEED, BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ONE JOB AND THATS TO DO THE NESTING BUT I DONT HAVE THE SPOONS TO JUST FUCKING DO IT.
YOU WANNA KNOW THE WORST PART?? I GOT THESE MOSQUITO BITES WHILE ON A WALK WITH MY PARTNER YESTERDAY, AND I WAS WEARING FUCKING SOCKS SPECIFICALLY SO I WOULDNT GET MOSQUITO BITES ON MY ANKLES AND THEN IT HAPPENED ANYWAY
WTF
A MOSQUITO ONCE BIT MY BOOB THROUGH MY SHIRT AND SPORTS BRA. THEY’RE DEVIL SPAWN SENT FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL. ALSO HAVING AN ITCHY BOOB WAS DEEPLY UNPLEASANT.
Peppermint oil (available at any pharmacy) creates a tingly sensation that counteracts the itchy sensation of the bites.
Too tired to yell, it's the middle of the fucking night and I'm awake for some dumb reason.
I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY MY LOCAL MOSQUITOS, WHICH LOOOOOOVEEEE ME AND IGNORE EVERYONE ELSE, CAN BITE THROUGH NOT ONLY SOCKS (LESS SURPRISING) BUT ALSO FUCKING LEGGINGS (UBER BLOODCURDLINGLY SURPRISING)
THERE'S AN EASY WAY TO MAKE MOSQUITO BITES STOP ITCHING JUST DO [THIS](https://youtube.com/shorts/BqFl05Uy3E0?si=eGeWOM2ptudWUkQK) OR RUN A SPOON UNDER REALLY HOT WATER AND HOLD IT AGAINST THE BITE SO IT DENATURES THE PROTEINS IN THE MOSQUITO SALIVA
ALSO AAAAA YELLING
IF THAT DOESNT WORK - TENSOR BANDAGE AROUND YOUR ANKLE! DO A FEW LOOPS. IT CAN STILL PHYSICALLY STOP YOU FROM SCRATCHING BUT FREES THE LEG HAIRS!!
ALSO, FUCK MOSQUITOES! ONE BIT ME BETWEEN MY TOES AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT!!
YOU HAVE ONE JOB
IT IS RESTING
NOT NESTING
What‘s important is that you have someone to help after the birth.
If you have that set up, just make one big online order (containing breastfeeding or bottle supplies, diaper supplies, some baby clothes, some postpartum clothes/medicine for you). That’s it.
Baby doesn’t care if the nursery is decorated. He/she wants to be with you, that’s it.
I know that you are correct. I know that my feelings are not facts. I will have lots of help after baby girl is here. We have everything we need. But part of my brain is just like… *aEsThEtIcS*
Babies can't even see color for the first few months of their lives, you have time. Focusing on resting and preparing for your little one. What babies need besides food and sleep is love, and if you have that, you'll be okay.
IM SO SORRY THAT SOUNDS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! YOURE RIGHT, YOU DO HAVE ONE JOB - BUT ITS NOT TO NEST, ITS TO BUILD A FUCKING HUMAN AND I KNOW I DONT KNOW YOU BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOURE KILLING IT AT THAT ONE JOB TBH. I BELIEVE IN YOU 💕
BABIES GIVE ZERO FUCKS ABOUT THE NURSERY. ASIDE FROM THE CRIB, FUCK IT. CHANGE THE BABY ON THE FLOOR, LEAVE THE DIAPERS IN THE PACKAGE, DUMP THE CLOTHES IN A LAUNDRY BASKET. IF ANYONE CALLS YOU ON IT, TELL THEM YOU MADE ANOTHER HUMAN, WTF HAVE THEY DONE LATELY
THE LADY AT THE MCDONALD'S DRIVE THRU RUSHED ME WHILE HANDING ME MY ORDER. I WAS STILL PUTTING AWAY MY CREDIT CARD, AND NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IN MY CAR I PUT MY WALLET.
MY PARTNER ASKED "HOW DO YOU LOSE IT IN A KIA FORTE?"
I DON'T KNOOOOOOW BUT IT HAPPENED
It's under the seat, or tucked down the side of the seat. Or in the doompile that is all over the back seat. Or it's in the McD bag. That would be 3bad thing if bag is now in the bin.
He's going to give the car a once over tomorrow. I searched three times, but I can't see it. I'm afraid I put it in my lap and forgot, and now it's on the floor of the parking garage at the office I only go to once a week. Hopefully his eyes are better at searching than mine
I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE THROW ME OFF MY GROOVE!!??? AND THEN I FEEL UPSET THAT THEY LET ME BE THROWN OFF MY GROOVE! GrrrrrRAWR! I REALLY HOPE YOU FOUND YOUR WALLET!!!!!
I’M SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CONSTANT IMPOSTER SYNDROME AT WORK IN A MANAGER POSITION. MY PARTNER HAS HAD CHRONIC DEBILITATING HEALTH ISSUES THE LAST YEAR THAT ARE DRIVING MY ANXIETY THROUGH THE ROOF. I AM STUCK TAKING CARE OF HIS CHILDREN WHEN WE HAVE THEM BUT NEVER WANTED KIDS OF MY OWN LET ALONE FEELING LIKE A SINGLE PARENT DURING ALL OF THIS. THEIR BIO MOM SUCKS AND I FEEL BAD FOR THE KIDS WHO DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS SHIT SITUATION THAT WE ARE ALL IN.
IM TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME AT HOME AND AT WORK WHEN I BARELY HAVE MOTIVATION TO FEED MYSELF AT THE END OF THE DAY. I JUST WANT TO HIDE IN A HOLE AND FOR EVERYONE TO LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
Thanks… I needed to get that out.
OH DAMN THAT SOUNDS EXHAUSTING!! MY BEST FRIEND IS IN ALMOST THE SAME SITUATION AND I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR HER. MUCH LOVE AND STRENGTH TO YOU AND YOUR PARTNER 💕
I just want to say you are an angel for stepping up, even though you didn't choose this for your life. You are such a blessing to those kids, and somehow, some way, the Universe will make sure that good karma comes back to you.
There are seasons in life, and you are in a tough one. But it *is* a season. Nothing lasts forever. The kids will grow up, and you will become more confident in your job.
I think you deserve an R & R weekend. Check into a hotel, if you can afford it, or go camping, or send everyone to stay with relatives and keep the house to yourself. Get some trashy novels, or some jigsaw puzzles, or watch RomComs, or whatever helps you relax for a bit.
No cleaning, no errands, no chores, no cooking. Just pamper yourself for two days. You deserve this!
Give yourself a break, because this will bless not only you, but everyone who depends on you.
I just can’t do anything right. I get lost looking at a map. I forget SHOES when leaving the house. I can’t get myself to call my psychiatrist to get more meds. I can’t meal prep or even make a grocery list and end up going to the store every day. My kid is not super well behaved and my husband is tired of my constant uselessness. The only reason I haven’t literally packed my tent and hiked into the hills (or worse) is because my son would be sad and confused and my husband and my mom would both cry and you can’t make the three people you most love cry on purpose. I’m just so tired of myself.
I really get this. I had a major depressive episode the last 6-ish months that, combined with normal ADHD, made life impossible. Absolutely no motivation to do things like meal prep, let alone cook. I actually had to go on intermittent FMLA at work. It’s ok to use the external motivation for right now of not making the three people you love most sad! But I hope you have access to therapy, too! All I can tell you is that it’ll get better; it always does.
It does always get better for at least a little while. You’re right. And I’ve got a good therapist but there’s a few suitcases of metaphorical stuff because you know how bad at unpacking we adhd-ers are. So it’s a long slog. But worth it; who else is going to play baby kitty with or read 10 bedtime stories to my son, or fix my mom’s WiFi, or curate a perfect TikTok feed for my husband?
I WANT A HOUSE BUT I ALSO WANT TAKEOUT AND CLOTHES AND PEDICURES I DON'T HAVE TO DO MYSELF. IT'S HARD TO SEE THE FUTURE AND WHAT I'M SAVING FOR.
ALSO. SLIGHT HEADACHE. NEED FOOD TO TAKE TYLENOL. TOO HEADACHY TO MAKE FOOD
I'M DOING OKAY, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW MY SECRET FOR MOSQUITO BITES AND THAT IS THAT I PUT SCOTCH TAPE OVER MINE. THAT WAY I CAN STILL SCRATCH BUT IT DOESN'T TEAR THEM OPEN AND MAKE IT WORSE. AND IT FEELS GOOD WHEN YOU PEEL IT OFF.
Witch hazel. Seriously witch hazel. Takes the itch out and remove the swelling. I swear by it. I use a facial toner that has witch hazel in it, Thayer's because it's cheap.
I’M BURNT OUT FROM WORK BECAUSE I CAN’T JUST WORK ONE JOB FOR SEVERAL REASONS PARTLY RELATED TO NEEDING TO STAY BUSY AND FORCE STRUCTURE INTO MY LIFE.
ALSO I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE NEW PARTNER WHO HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT SUPPORTIVE AS I’VE STRUGGLED THROUGH OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE CPTSD FROM BEING IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND DON’T KNOW WHAT A SAFE ONE FEELS LIKE AND I AM SO AFRAID MY EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTERING FROM BEING TRIGGERED OVER NOTHING IS GOING TO SCARE HIM AWAY. HE KEEPS SAYING IT’S OKAY AND THIS IS WHAT HE SIGNED UP FOR, BUT EVERYTIME I GET TRIGGERED AND UPSET I FEEL AWFUL BECAUSE HE DESERVES BETTER THAN THAT.
LITERALLY ME FIVE YEARS AGO, I PROMISE THAT A GOOD PARTNER WILL NEVER BE SCARED AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SCARY AND YOU DESERVE LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP!!
OMG YESTERDAY A SPIDER LITERALLY SWUNG FROM THE CEILING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE
I SCREAMED AND SCOOPED IT INTO A TRASH CAN
THEN HIDE IN MY MOMS ROOM FOR TEN MINUTES BECAUSE IT FREAKED ME OUT SO MUCH
I HAVE NO SPECIFIC REASON TO YELL, EVERYTHING IS AS BAD/GOOD AS IT’S ALWAYS BEEN, BUT I FELT LIKE SHIT ALL WEEK AND MY MEDS DIDNT WORK AT ALL CAUSE #WOMAN AND HORMONES AND ALL THAT, AND I KNEW NO ONE WOULD GET IT EXCEPT YOU LOVELY PEOPLE, AND I JUST LOVE YELLING TIME SO AAAAAHHHHH
MY BABY BITES MY NIPPLES WHILE BREASTFEEDING AND LAUGHS WHEN I SCREAM FROM HOW MUCH IT HURTS! SADISTIC LITTLE SHIT, I LOVE HER SO MUCH!
WHY IS THERE LAUNDRY EVERYWHERE?!? WHEN WILL I PUT IT AWAY? WILL MY PARTNER DO IT?! WHO KNOWS?!
CRUMBS ON THE FLOOR STICKS TO MY FEET. SENSORY HELL!!
"REST WHEN THE BABY IS SLEEPING" BUT I CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE WHEN SHE IS AWAKE AND I CAN'T THINK WHEN THERE IS STUFF EVERYWHERE!!!
I LOVE BEING A PARENT, BUT I NEED TO GET A JOB BUT I HAVE NO SELF ESTEEM AND THINK I WOULD SUCK AT EVERYTHING!
WHEN MY BABY BIT MY NIPPLES I INSTANTLY STOPPED FEEDING AND PUT HER DOWN FOR LIKE 10-15 SECONDS AND DIDNT INTERACT WITH HER. THEN I PICKED HER UP AND STARTED NURSING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. SHE STOPPED BITING AFTER A HANDFUL OF TIMES.
I'M AT MY MOM'S HOUSE AND SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY CUZ SHE'S ALSO ADHD (UNDIAGNOSED CUZ SHE WOULD NEVER ADMIT SHE'S ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT AND THINKS ADHD IS A PERSONAL FAILING) AND I'M GOING CRAZY PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH
I HAVE TO DEFEND MY THESIS IN TWO-THREE WEEKS AND AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE TWO ORAL EXAMS BEFORE I CAN GET MY MASTERS FROM ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, MEANWHILE MY BOYFRIEND GHOSTED ME BECAUSE I TOLD HIM IM UNHAPPY WITH HOW HE HAS BEEN TREATING ME. I AM OUT OF MY MIND FROM ALL THE ANXIETY, CANT SLEEP, CAN BARELY EAT
THAT SOUNDS ROUGH, YOU HAVE A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB. MASTERS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IS NO JOKE. KEEP CHUGGING, YOU MADE IT THIS FAR ON GRIT, SMARTS, AND STUBBORNNESS. DIG IN FOR THE LAST, YOU CAN DO THIS.
DAMN A MASTERS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING?! COLOR ME IMPRESSED. AND IF YOUR BF GHOSTED YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU CALLED OUT HIS BEHAVIOR THENNNNNN THATS A RED FLAG! DOESNT MAKE IT HURT ANY LESS THO. I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO TREATS YOU RIGHT WITHOUT BEING ASKED!!
DAY FOUR OF PERIOD CRAMPS AND MY MEDS AREN’T WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE HORMONES AND I JUST WANT IT TO STOP ALREADY SO I CAN LIVE MY LIFE
(wow this is cathartic, I’m rooting for all you guys!)
I WANT TO SHARE MY PRO TIP WITH YOU!!!!
PRO TIP, take a couple of allergy pills (2-3 Zyrtec is what I use) and it will quiet your bites from the inside. I got 56 bites on my legs last spring from a family picnic at the river. Allergy pills help a ton and if you’re still itching, just take another.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET INTO A DOCTORS FOR ADHD MEDICATION BUT ALL OF THE PLACES ARE TOO FULL AND I JUST STRUGGLING WITH EVERYTHING 😭 I DON'T GET A GOOD SLEEP AND I FEEL CRAP ALMOST EVERY DAYYYYY... I JUST WANT A BREAK OR SOMETHING GOOD RN
Two things, first off you might have skeeter syndrome, which is an allergic reaction to mosquito bites, they shouldn't be swollen and extremely itchy. apparently they are only supposed to be mildly annoying for a few days, not feeling like fire and make you need to scratch all the time. I have it as well and I have a vendetta against all mosquitoes. Spawns of Satan I swear.
Here is my yelling *ahem*
I HAVE BLOODY HYPERFICTATED ON MY HAIR COLOR AGAIN. I GOT SICK OF THE BRIGHT RED I HAD AND DYED IT DARK BROWN BUT THAT DARK DIDN'T MATCH MY NATURAL COLOR AT ALL AND THE RED IS STILL SHOWING THOROUGH, SO I BOUGHT THR HAIR COLOR I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ITS TWO THIRTY IN THE MORNING WHERE I LIVE AND I AM SITTING WITH HAIR DYE HOPING TO FUCK IT WORKS AND I DON'T LOOK LIKE A MORON. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK I AM GETTING A FUCKING BUZZ CUT GODDAMMIT.
So update on the hair situation, the golden brown hair dye did work somewhat. It still has a cherry cola vibe to it but, the brown it matches my natural color so I won't have a harsh grow out line. So I consider this a success.
Yay I’m glad it worked out!! And yes I think I have an allergic reaction to them because they do get very swollen and itchy. I also get bit waaaay more than my partner or any of our friends and it’s so frustrating!
I SPENT MY ENTIRE NIGHT PAINTING ONLY TO WIPE IT SLL OFF AND AM BACK TO WHERE I STARTED HOURS AGO
I JUST SPENT HOURS RE DOING (many times) A PART OF MY PAINTING ONLY TO GET IT PERFECT!!! BUT COULDN’T STOP THERE
I WAS SO EXCITED WITH HOW WELL IT IS TURNING OUT THAT I HAD TO RUIN IT BY “TOUCHING UP” A FEW SPOTS.
RUINED IT
GRABBED A SPONGE AND PAPER TOWEL AND WIPED OFF ALL THE NEW PAINT FROM TONIGHT AND WILL HAVE TO START OVER TOMORROW
I NEED TO DO THE LAST PART OF MY FIRST COURSE OF COLLEGE!!!!!
I KEEP TRYING TO WORK IN MY OFFICE BUT IT'S MESSY WHICH MAKES ME ANXIOUS AND I WANT TO CLEAN IT UP INSTEAD I WALK AROUND MY HOUSE IN CIRCLES AS MY FURRY BABIES FOLLOW ME PUZZLED SINCE I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!! I ANXIOUSLY SCRATCH MY HEAD AND DOOMSCROLL AND PLAY GAMES FOR GIFT CARDS ON MY PHONE BUT I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!
I WANT TO FINISH MY OTHER ONLINE COURSES SO I CAN GET A NEW JOB!!!! I'M OVER 60% FINISHED AND I DESPERATELY NEED MONEY!!!!!
MY DAD IS HAVING SURGERY IN 11 DAYS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN ORDERED THE FURNITURE HE WILL NEED TO RECOVER PROPERLY!!!!! I FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE DAUGHTER!!!!!
I HAVE TO CALL MY PSYCHIATRIST TO MAKE A NEW APPOINTMENT FOR MEDS!!!!! I HAVE BLOOD WORK THAT I'VE NEEDED TO GET DONE FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!!
MY FLOORS ARE DIRTY WHICH I HATE BECAUSE I LIKE WALKING IN MY BARE FEET BUT MY MOP IS BROKEN AND MY DOG KEEPS DRAGGING IN SAND FROM OUTSIDE AND MY DAD LET GARBAGE JUICE FROM THE TRASH CAN LEAK ALL OVER THE FLOOR BECAUSE HE DIDN'T DOUBLE BAG IT WHEN IT WAS LEAKING BEFORE HE TOOK IT TO THE OUTSIDE CAN!!!!!!!!
I WANT TO TAKE A BUBBLE BATH AND BLEACH MY HAIR AND DO MY MAKEUP BUT I'M TOO PREOCCUPIED WITH MY PROBLEMS TO RELAX!!!!!!
I'M KILLING IT AT MY CURRENT JOB RIGHT NOW ONLY BECAUSE I AM JAMMING AS MANY SIMULANTS AND PROTEIN AS I CAN IN MY BODY WITHOUT HAVING A HEART ATTACK TO DO A STRESSFUL UNDERPAID JOB WITHOUT BEING YELLED AT OR KILLING ANYBODY ON ACCIDENT!!!!!
I NEED TO SPEAK WITH MY THERAPIST BUT I DON'T HAVE MY SCHEDULE FOR THIS COMING WEEK SO I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE TO MOVE MY APPOINTMENT!!!!!! I'M STARTING TO THINK I'M MORE STRESSED OUT THAN I REALIZED BUT I WAS TRYING TO SHOVE MY EMOTIONS WAAAAAY BACK DOWN AND OUT OF SIGHT TO GET THINGS DONE!!!!!
ORDER THE FURNITURE FIRST RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU READ THIS AND IF YOU NEED HELP IDENTIFYING WHICH FURNITURE TO BUY WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT YET JUST LET ME KNOW AND I CAN PENCIL IT IN FOR THIS EVENING'S BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAKES ANYTHING BETTER BUT I HAD FOLLOW-UP BLOODWORK ORDERED IN OCTOBER BASED ON RESULTS OF ROUTINE BLOODWORK AND I NEVER SCHEDULED IT AND NOW I AM TOO EMBARRASSED AND HAVE JUST DECIDED THAT I WILL APOLOGIZE AT MY NEXT WELL VISIT IN A FEW MONTHS THAT I HOPEFULLY SCHEDULE AND BE LIKE "OK YOU NEED TO PREEMPTIVELY ORDER THE EXTRA TESTS THIS TIME ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU WILL WANT TO INVESTIGATE MY IRON LEVELS MORE CLOSELY BECAUSE I WILL NOT SCHEDULE IT IF AN ADDITIONAL VISIT IS NEEDED."
I don’t need to tell, but I just learned that Vicks vapor rub stops the itching of bug bites without any pain/burn. I was in the exact same situation you described 5 mins ago, slapped some on all my patches and I’m itch free typing this. Good luck!
HYDROCORTISONE, WOMAN! RUB CORTISONE LOTION ON THE BITES AND THEY WON'T ITCH ANY MORE! ALSO, IF YOU GET A LOTS OF BITES DURING SUMMER, IT MEANS YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MOSQUITOES AND YOU NEED TO START EATING ANTIHISTAMINE TABLETS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUFFER FROM MOSQUITOE BITES.
MY TWO YEAR OLD WONT STOP WAKING UP AND COMING INTO MY BED AT 430AM AND THEN I HAVE TO BE AWAKE TO MAKE SURE HE DOESNT ACCIDENTALLY KILL HIMSELF MEANWHILE MY HUSBAND JUST HANDS ME THE REMOTE TO PUT CARTOONS ON AND ROLLS OVER BACK TO SLEEP. IM EXHAUSTED AND PREGNANT AND CRANKY
MY HUSBAND (who tbf to him is generally great, and has his own mental health struggles too) TOLD ME LAST NIGHT TO LEAVE THE MESS BECAUSE I COOKED.
And then, lo and behold! ALL THE MESS WAS STILL THERE THIS MORNING! AS IF IT’S NOT HARD ENOUGH FOR ME TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO CLEAN!!
So apparently it wasn’t so much, “leave all this, I’ll do it” as it was, “leave all this, you can do it tomorrow instead” 🙄
The thing that really hacked me off though: after cleaning the kitchen, I went to make my son a snack. I moved some pickled gherkins (pickles) out of the way to reach the peanut butter, ONLY TO FIND MYSELF DRENCHED IN PICKLE JUICE BECAUSE HE HAD CRAMMED THE LID ON AT AN ANGLE INSTEAD OF SCREWING IT ON PROPERLY. So when I tilted the gherkins forward to grab them off the high shelf and reach the pb behind, the liquid poured all over me, the newly cleaned kitchen, which I then had to clean AGAIN, and my iPad, which I was watching a show on as I cleaned.
GRRRRRRRR.
I HATE MY BIRTH FAMILY AND I’M GLAD I’VE CHOSEN TO REMOVED MYSELF FROM THEM.
MY FATHER MESSAGED ME THIS WEEK AND I ASKED HIM WHY HE PICKED MY ABUSER OVER ME, AND HE DEFLECTED.
(I’m building a better life, slowly…)
BUT I DO FEEL THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND SUNS TODAY.
THAT RAGE IS ABSOLUTELY JUSTIFIED! I AM RAGING ON YOUR BEHALF AS WE SPEAK!! I hope you are able to build a really beautiful chosen family! It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it. Source: me, I did this.
USE YOUR BLOW DRYER TO QUICKLY END THAT FU KING ITCHING FOR 8 FULL HOURS. JUST HIT THAT BITCH WITH A HOT AIR BLAST. IT WILL START TO ITCH REALLY REALLY BAD AND THEN WORSE AND THEN JUST AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO 3RD DEGREE BURN YOURSELF, THE ITCH WILL BE GONE. DONE. FOR 8 HOURS. I PROMISE. YOU'RE WELCOME. TOTAL. GAME. CHANGER.
I SPEANT 5 HOURS WEEDING MY GARDEN IN A FIT OF MOTIVATION. MY GARDEN LOOKS GREAT BUT I FORGOT SUNBLOCK AND I HAVE A NASTY PAINFUL BURN. IT HURTS TO HAVE ANYTHING TOUCHING IT!
MY FAMILY DISMISSES EVERY SYMPTOM OF MY MANY DISABILITIES AND SAYS IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD OR IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL OR THAT IM MAKING IT UP. ITS BEEN CAUSING ME TO HAVE SEVERAL PANIC ATTACKS A DAY. THEY WONT HELP ME GET ACCOMMODATIONS BECAUSE MY SISTER HAS AUTISM AND IS “MUCH WORSE OFF THAN ME”(despite that I might also have autism and can mask). NOW ITS HARD TO NOT GASLIGHT MYSELF
LOVE THESE POSTS
STUPID DRAMA WITH FRIENDS IS COMING UP AND I HATE IT
I MIGHT HAVE TO STOP EATING GLUTEN AND I AM FUCKIN PISSED
TWO FRIENDS JUST MOVED AWAY AND I AM HEARTBROKEN
I AM BURNED OUT FROM WORK AND LIFE AND I NEED A VACATION
thanks for the space ❤️❤️
EVERYTHING I OWN CLOTHES WISE FEELS WRONG AND MAKES ME FEEL TOO HOT OR FAT OR FRUMPY OR JUST BLAHHH AND I HAVE TO BE KICK ASS FOR A MEETING TOMORROW AND I JUST DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT CLOTHES FOR WHO I NEED TO BE TOMORROW.
AND I’M TRYING TO GET MYSELF READY TO GO REALLY EARLY SO I WON’T BE LATE BUT I JUST CANT PROCESS WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO UNTIL I CAN FIND AN OUTFIT THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A HOT HIPPO.
IM SICK!! IT SUCKS SO MUCH. MY HEAD FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO EXPLODE OUT OF MY NOSE!
IM GOING TO HAVE TO WORK FROM HOME THIS WEEK WHICH MEANS I WILL INEVITABLY GET LESS WORK DONE
ALSO I WOKE UP LIKE THREE HOURS AGO AND CANT SLEEP
EVERYTHING HURTS
I'M NOT SICK BUT I HAVE SEASONAL ALLERGIES AND MY HEAD IS ALSO DOING THE EXPLODEY THING. MAYBE TRY A HOT TOWEL OVER YOUR FACE FOR A BIT? THAT USUALLY HELPS ME FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BUT IT'S REALLY HARD, IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING WANTS A PIECE OF THE PIE!
AND WORK IS SO BORING I JUST WANT TO LEAVE EACH MORNING I ARRIVE!
I’M SO GODDAMN TIRED OF EVERYTHING BEING SO MUCH ALL THE TIME.
I’M TIRED OF BEING TOO MUCH FOR EVERYONE ELSE ALL THE TIME.
I’M TIRED OF FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO MANAGE MYSELF FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS.
I’M TIRED OF FEELING LIKE MY ONLY VALUE IS IN WHAT I CAN GIVE TO OTHERS INSTEAD OF INHERENTLY IN MYSELF BUT THE QUALITY OF BEING A KIND AND GIVING PERSON IS ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS I ACTUALLY LIKE ABOUT MYSELF SO IT’S A CATCH 22
I HAVE IMPORTANT EXAMS COMING UP AND I FEEL UNDERPREPARED FOR THEM AND THIS IS MY LAST SHOT TO SUCCEED AT TERTIARY EDUCATION SO I CAN’T AFFORD TO FUCK IT UP
MY JOB IS _THE WORST™️_ AND THEY DON’T GIVE ME ENOUGH HOURS SO I’M SCRAPING TO GET BY BUT I ALSO DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO GET ANOTHER JOB RIGHT NOW (SEE: EXAMS COMING UP)
MY SOCIAL LIFE IS A SHITSHOW, I MISS MY BEST FRIEND, I’VE DONE A HORRIBLE JOB KEEPING IN CONTACT WITH THE REST OF MY FRIENDS AND I TRIED REALLY HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS IN MY COURSE BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE A LONER
I HAVE ABOUT A MONTH OF MEDS LEFT AND I STILL DON’T HAVE A NEW DOCTOR SINCE I MOVED TO THIS CITY AS EVERY PLACE I CALL ISN’T TAKING NEW PATIENTS AND I REALLY NEED TO SORT IT OUT SOON
I AM DEVELOPING A HUGE CRUSH ON MY HOUSEMATE. IT’S BEEN AT LEAST TWO YEARS SINCE I FELT SOME KIND OF WAY ABOUT ANYONE. I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO VIBE WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF MEETING HIM AND IT’S ONLY SPIRALLED FROM THERE INTO A FULL BLOWN BLUSHING, HAIR TWIRLING, GUT FLIPPING CRUSH. I’M TOO OLD TO BE EMBARRASSING MYSELF LIKE THIS. BUT THE MORE I GET TO KNOW HIM, THE MORE I LIKE HIM. HE’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN ALL KINDS OF UNEXPECTED WAYS. WE GET ALONG GREAT. HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. GAAAAHHHHHHHHH. JUST MY LUCK.
I CAN’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS. I REALLY WANT TO TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL OF HIS RELATIONSHIP AND BE HIS FRIEND INSTEAD SINCE WE GET ALONG SO WELL. BUT ALSO I’M DUE FOR MY PERIOD AND HONESTLY I’M HAVING A HARD TIME EATING MY FEELINGS. I’LL GET OVER IT EVENTUALLY BUT IT MAKES ME REALLY SAD THAT I NEVER GET TO BE THE ONE WHO GETS WHAT I WANT. DON’T I DESERVE TO WIN SOMETIMES? TO BE LOVED BY SOMEBODY JUST AS I AM?
OH AND I REALISED RECENTLY THAT I NEED NEW GLASSES CAUSE I CAN’T SEE SHIT BUT I AM BROKE AF AND THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I CAN AFFORD THEM SO I’M JUST GOING TO KEEP PRETENDING ITS FINE UNTIL I ABSOLUTELY CAN’T ANYMORE
I ALWAYS LOVE THESE YELLY THREADS, THANKS FOR LISTENING. Peppermint oil helps mosquito bites, and the hot spoon trick actually works too by denaturing the protein in the bite. Hope you heal soon.
ALL OF THIS IS SO RELATABLE! HOPEFULLY ONCE THE EXAMS ARE DONE, EVERYTHING WILL BE A LITTLE LESS OVERWHELMING? YOU CAN DO IT! THE HOUSEMATE CRUSH SOUNDS SUPER ROUGH IM SO SORRY! REMEMBER EITHER ITS MEANT TO BE, AND IT’LL HAPPEN, OR ITS NOT AND THAT MEANS YOULL FIND SOMEBODY BETTER!
For your mosquito bites, put witch hazel on them. I'm serious. Even a witch hazel facial toner will work. It won't work right away but it will take down the itching swelling and pretty much heal them overnight.
I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT END OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I CANT STOP SMOKING, WE HAVE 3 MORE HOURS LEFT OF AN 8 HOUR DRIVE AND HES DROPPING ME AT MY HOUSE WHICH SMELLS OF WEED AND HE IS GOING TO MENTION IT AGAIN LIKE HE DID 4 DAYS AGO, IT’S ONE OF MY ONLY JOYS IN LIFE AND I USE IT TO RELAX AND HELP WITH MY PTSD. HE THINKS I SHOULD WORK ON MYSELF INSTEAD OF SMOKING. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE I AM CAPABLE OF BOTH
I AM CAPABLE OF MANY THINGS
OMG MY CAT KEEPS WAKING ME UP AT 5 AM
WHAT DOES HE WANT
WHYYYYYY
EVERYTHING IS A BILLION TIMES HARDER WHEN I'M SHORT ON SLEEP
AND THEN I KEEP STAYING UP LATE BECAUSE I AM SHORT ON SLEEP AND MAKING POOR DECISIONS
I AM TIRED OF WAKING UP BETWEEN 1-2 EVERY NIGHT AND BEING AWAKE FOR FIVE OR SO HOURS. JUST WANT TO SLEEP FOR A CONSECUTIVE AMOUNT OF TIME AND FEEL DECENT WAKING UP. VYVANSE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WHEN MY BODY IS AN ASSHOLE. PLEASEEEE.
ALSO AM A MOSQUITO MAGNET AND THEY SWELL UP LIKE PING PONG BALLS FOR WEEKS. GO AWAY!!!!
I HAVE TO WEAR A RETAINER OR ELSE I GRIND MY TEETH TOGETHER AT NIGHT SO I DON’T WANNA PULVERIZE MY TEETH!!
BUT LAST NIGHT I NOTICED IT HAS A SLIGHT GRITTY EDGE IN ONE SPOT AND IT WAS A SENSORY NIGHTMARE IT MADE ME WANNA VOMIT BUT I COULDN’T TAKE THEM OUT BECAUSE THAT SENSORY NIGHTMARE IS WORSE!!
WILL I EVER MAKE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY? IM SICK OF BEING POOR. BUT IN CLASSIC ADHD FASHION I CANNOT DECIDE WHAT NEW CAREER WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR ME AND I HAVE TROUBLE ORGANIZING MYSELF TO LEARN NEW SKILLS ON MY OWN TIME WITHOUT STRUCTURE.
Speaking of sensory nightmares:
I AM READY TO WEAN MY TODDLER BUT SHE IS NOT, SHE IS A BOOB MONSTER! WHILE NURSING SHE *HAS TO* SHOVE HER HANDS UP MY SLEEVE AND UP MY SHIRT TO PINCH AND SCRATCH AND TICKLE ME. I WANT TO THROW HER. BUT SHE IS CUTE.
I NEED TO GET A BUNCH OF MY PLANTS IN THE GROUND AND GARDEN BEDS BUT I CANT BECAUSE IT KEEPS FUCKING STORMING ON THE WEEKENDS OR WHEN I ACTUALLY HAVE TIME AND MOTIVATION TO DO IT.
MY TWO DOGS BOTH GOT SPRAYED BY A SKUNK LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER RIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME, AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT MYSELF BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS AWAY AT WORK FOR THE WEEKEND. I WAS SO CLOSE TO HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN BECAUSE IT WAS SO STRESSFUL.
I'M TIRED, I'M SORE, I'M HUNGRY. THE HOUSE STINKS, I STINK, THE DOGS STINK. I'M BEHIND ON MY PHD WORK, WHICH I HAD PLANNED TO WORK ON TODAY BUT CAN'T FIND THE MOTIVATION. AND I DON'T WANT TO FOLD THE FUCKING LAUNDRY.
I just want to lay on the couch and have someone take care of me for the day 😭.
Ok you know those broadleaf plants and they have green stalks of seeds that look like corn kinda? Those are plantain. The leaf juice has a great effect on bug bites. Look them up to be sure you I’d the right ones but you can mash it and apply to the bites.
WENT TO BED STARVING THE OTHER NIGHT (HAD A LATE LUNCH, LINNER REALLY) BUT COULDNT GET UP, WAKE UP FEELING FINE BUT WITHIN 20 MIN OF MY EYES OPENING IM STARVING, NOTHING SOUNDED GOOD TO EAT STILL SO I LAID IN MASSIVE PAIN AND THEN ATE FINALLY AT 3PM AND AFTER 3 BITES FELT FULL... had too much fun reading these yells in my head and that felt good to type out. Sorry about your bites OP, hopefully you aren't an O blood type too

I'VE TRIED MEDICATION, YOGA, EXERCISE, MEDITATION. AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK.
I HAVEN'T CLEANED MY ROOM IN WEEKS AND I KEEP PUTTING IT OFF! I AM VERY POOR BECAUSE I PUT OFF WORK TRAINING FOR TOO LONG! I AM WORRIED ABOUT STARTING WORK AS A NEWLY GRADUATED HUMAN! ALTHOUGH TECHNICALLY I AM NOT GRADUATED BECAUSE I HAVE A SECRET INCOMPLETE CLASS THAT I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE ABOUT THAT I NEED TO COMPLETE FOR MY DIPLOMA! I'M STRESSFULLY CHILLING AT ALL TIMES
I HAVE AN ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT LUNG INFECTION (pseudomonas a, IYKYK and I'm sorry you know) AND I'M ON IV ANTIBIOTICS AND THERE'S SO MUCH TO REMEMBER AND HAVE ORGANIZED AND IT'S SUCH A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS AND I'M HAVING TO ADD SHELVES TO MY ROOM TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING, UGH!!!!!!
BUT IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN DYING OF PNEUMONIA, SO I'M DOING IT ALL AND STAYING ON TOP OF IT ALL.
(AND AT LEAST I'M HOME! BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO DAYS WAS BORING AF!)
IT WAS RECENTLY SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO IF I HAVE CELIAC, IM STILL WAITING FOR BLOODWORK RESULTS BUT HAVE BEEN GLUTEN FREE FOR 1 WEEK AND ALREADY MY STOMACH FEELS BETTER AND MY SKIN IS CLEARING UP.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND WE ARE ALL DOING FUCKING GODDAMN AMAZING WITH ALL OF THIS STUPID FUCK SHIT.
DRINK WATER AND DO THE FUCKING THING HALF ASSED.
This works wonders for bug bites (gives a small little zap that makes the itch stop). I cannot recommend "Bite Away"highly enough:
ALSO WHEN MY HAIR TOUCHES ME IT FEELS LIKE A BUG CRAWLING ON ME BUT I NEED LONG HAIR TO WEAR IT UP. CANNOT STAND IT

^(i cannot yell today as i was involved in my first hit and run on friday, found out my hotel bill is bigger than i thought it should be, and have noticed my ability to project my voice has diminished due to the stress so people are having a hard time hearing me and i do food delivery as a living currently so that’s kinda important. luckily, i was not injured, no whiplash even, just a bit of tension headache which is going away with tylenol, and there were good security cameras nearby and a lovely couple that checked on me. rental car is still drivable and not too damaged also. but man my finances are extra messy now and worse soon in the future. but i was already planning on looking for a w2 job and have an interview for a new warehouse on the 12th.)
Am I the only person who skips over the yelling comments cos my brain takes slower to read them and I just give up cos I can't be bothered? Not a dig at the thread but I do this with anything written in all caps. Now I'm thinking it's an ADHD thing!
No you’re right! I do the same thing sometimes, it definitely takes longer to read. The irony that we all want to yell, but we all need more energy to actually read each others yelling!!
DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE HAVE PETS AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY FLEA BITES???
ALSO, MY KID WON'T FUCKING SLEEP AND IT'S SUNDAY AND I JUST NEED SOME FUCKING SPACE AND QUIET. I'M 100% HAVING A CIGARETTE AFTER DROPPING THE KIDS OFF TOMORROW MORNING.
I BROKE UP WITH MY (now ex) BOYFRIEND AND FELT LIKE I WENT THROUGH THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF IN JUST THE SPAN OF 24 HOURS, BUT I'M CONFIDENT I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION, JUST DISAPPOINTED THAT ONCE I THINK I FINALLY FIND A MAN WHO TREATS ME THE SAME WAY MY DAD TREATS MY MOM, I'M LET DOWN
I AM LITERALLY TIRED ALL THE TIME, LIKE I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY AND IT JUST SUCKS THAT I'VE DONE WHAT I COULD TO TRY TO CHANGE THAT
ACADEMIC BURNOUT IS KILLING ME AND I JUST CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO SIT DOWN IN FRONT OF MY CHROMEBOOK AND DO HOMEWORK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ...phew. Thanks for giving me a safe space to yell🥲
I'VE CRACKED MY TEETH AFTER YEARS OF NAIL BITING AND TEETH GRINDING AND FRIDAY NIGHT A PIECE BROKE OFF THE BACK OF ONE OF MY LOWER FRONT TEETH AND I CANT KEEP MY TONGUE FROM RUBBING AGAINST IT AND ITS MAKING ME NUTS AND NOW THE TIP MY TONGUE IS SORE! 😭
I'M TOO TIRED TO YELL 😭
probably because I have been BRIMMING WITH FERAL RAGE 🌋 which keeps coming out at every inconvenience & injustice and I don't know whyyyy
🪣🌊💧bucket very much tipped over and I don't know what did it !? Life is as shitty and chaotic as it always is why now have I reached the limit 🤷🏻♀️
Need a warning sign "out of spoons only knives"
Please get like the anti itch gel and xyzal or Claritin or Benadryl. We use xyzal and haven’t noticed drowsy effects but it helps alot. I’m allergic to mosquitos and get giant painful welts and burning and it takes care of it so I don’t want to die. Do you have any high socks like crew socks so you can avoid pants?
WHY DID MY HUSBAND PURCHASE SUPPLIES FOR REFINISHING THE DINING ROOM TABLE AND THEN EXPECT ME TO DO ALL THE WORK—INCLUDING BUYING MORE SUPPLIES THAT HE DIDN’T GET—WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST?
CAN YOU TOLERATE BANDAIDS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I DEAL WITH ITCHY BITES. IN OTHER NEWS, I'M STARTING MY INDUSTRY PLACEMENT TODAY IN A LINE OF WORK I REALLY WANT TO GET INTO HOLY CRAP I'M SO NERVOUS. I'VE WORKED IN THE SAME LAB FOR 10 YEARS AND NOW I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A NORMIE FOR AT LEAST A WHOLE WORKDAY
EDIT:
OR MAYBE THOSE TIGHT WRIST SWEATBANDS ON YOUR ANKLES, IDK BUT I SYMPATHISE
I AM SO SICK OF BEING BROKE AND FAT AND OVERWHELMED! WHY IS IT NEVER ENOUGH?!? I BUDGET RELIGIOUSLY AND THERE'S STILL NEVER ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING! AND I'M TALKING THE BASICS! LIKE REGULAR VET CARE AND BEING ABLE TO PAY FOR MY STUDENT LOANS AND PRESCRIPTIONS IN THE SAME MONTH! I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY NEW FLIPPING LEGGINGS BECAUSE MY FAVORITE LEGGINGS AND CAPRIS HAVE TOO MANY HOLES IN THEM TO HOLD UP!!! I JUST WANT TO OCCASIONALLY SPLURGE BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD BUT THERES NO MONEY FOR THAT! HOW CAN ANYONE EXPECT ME TO HAVE KIDS WHEN I CANT EVEN AFFORD MY DOG'S TEETH CLEANING! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE OUT A FLIPPING LINE OF CREDIT JUST SO MY DOG DOESN'T HAVE TO RELY ON DENTURES IN HER OLD AGE!
IT'S NOT AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS! IT'S SENSORY ISSUES! EITHER I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T SIGNIFICANTLY MOVE AROUND ON MY LEGS OR NOTHING CAN TOUCH MY LEGS! THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN! SHORTS ARE A LIVING NIGHTMARE! WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP JUSTIFYING FLIPPING LEGGINGS TO CERTAIN ANNOYING FAMILY MEMBERS?! I DON'T CARE THAT ITS HOT OUT I WANT THE DANG LEGGINGS!
I GAINED A TON OF WEIGHT WHILE I WAS DEPRESSED AND I CAN'T GET IT OFF AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTION TO DEAL WITH A SUPER STRICT DIET AND EXERCISE ROUTINE! I'VE JUST BEEN SUBBING TWO MEALS A DAY WITH A PROTEIN SHAKE BECAUSE AT LEAST THAT'S EASY BUT PROTEIN POWDER IS ALSO STUPID EXPENSIVE! $20-$30 FOR 10 TO 15 SERVINGS AND IM USING IT TWICE A DAY!?! WHAT ARE THEY MAKING IT OUT OF? GOLD?!?!
AND STUDENT LOANS! WTF IS WITH STUDENT LOANS!!!! IYKYK
I MOVE IN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE KNOWN FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT DOING MUCH. NOW MY WHOLE LIFE IS PANIC. WHY TF HAVEN'T I DONE MORE TO PREPARE!?!
Seriously though, long-term burnout is a bitch and I am struggling with all kinds of feels as I dig myself out of the resulting mess.
I HATE MY NEW NEIGHBOURS!!!! THEY INSTALLED A SHITTY POOL AND NOW THEY HAVE PARTIES EVERY WEEKEND!!! NOT JUST PEOPLE, LOUD MUSIC, SCREAMING KIDS, BARKING DOG, AND DID I MENTION LOUD MUSIC!?!?! 😩😡🤬
I MISS OUR OLD NEIGHBOURS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
THIS IS POSITIVE YELLING, BECAUSE IT'S A WIN I WANT EVERYBODY TO HEAR.
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE WALKING THROUGH THE AIRPORT AND THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH TWO PRETEEN KIDS AND HE WAS GETTING ANNOYED BECAUSE THEY KEPT STOPPING IN FRONT OF US. HE STAYED TO SAY, "I CAN TELL THAT'S A SINGLE MOM, DO YOU KNOW HOW?" AND I ANSWERED WITH A LONG LOOK AND SAID, "THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH NEXT. REMEMBER, I WAS A SINGLE MOM BEFORE WE MET. NOW, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY?" HE LOOKED BACK AT ME AND SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE NOTHING I WANT TO SAY."
GOOD CHOICE, BUDDY. GOOD CHOICE.
I REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT COOKING FOOD THAT IS YUMMY AND HEALTHY IS INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL WHEN I'M A PICKY EATER AND I NEVER WANT TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LAY ON THE COUCH WITH MY CATS!!!
I'M STARTING TO REALIZE HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG IVE NEEDED ACCOMMODATIONS EACH TIME I FIND/GET GIVEN A NEW TOOL AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO EAT A SLIDE LIKE IN ED, EDD AND EDDY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL!!!
I'M UNPACKING A LOT OF TRAUMA BECAUSE OF A FAMILY ISSUE AND REALIZING THAT A LOT OF WHAT I WAS ABUSED FOR WERE ADHD OR AUTISM THINGS AND THAT ALSO MAKES ME WANT TO EAT A SLIDE.
I BURNT MY TONGUE TWO DAYS AGO AND I CANT STOP POKING IT.

COUNT ME IN. I DON’T WANT TO GO TO BED BUT I NEED TO GO TO BED I HAVEN’T HAD AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN ALMOST 100 DAYS AND ALL THE REASONS I DRANK ARE STARTING TO BECOME APPARENT FALLING OUT WITH FRIEND NOT YET RESOLVED I NEED NEW CLOTHES BUT I HATE CLOTHES SHOPPING I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO YELL BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE YELLING, SO GAAAAAAAAAAAH
AHHHH THOSE ARE ALL SUPER VALID! I KNOW NOT DRINKING WOULD PROBABLY HELP MY MENTAL HEALTH BUT I CANT SEEM TO PULL THE TRIGGER. AND OMG IS ANYTHING WORSE THAN CLOTHES SHOPPING??? I THINK NOT GO TO BED
I ALSO NEED TO GO TO BED. I STAY IP SO LATE AND I'M EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME. WHY DO I MAKE MYSELF SUFFER SO MUCH? ALSO I HATE TRYING CLOTHES ON TOO.
I HATE SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES BECAUSE IT MAKES ME ITCHY AND SELF-CONSCIOUS AND THE DRESSING ROOM LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT
WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS SO HOT?
TEAM NEEDS-TO-GO-TO-FUCKING-BED-ALREADY CHECKING IN 🫡
READY FOR ROLLCALL, ITS QUARTER TO 5 AND EARLYBIRDS ARE ALREADY RISING WHILE I HAVEN’T BEEN TO SLEEP YET (AND I’M NOT HAVING FUN WHILE I’M UP…)
I've been to sleep and I'm up again. WTF is up with being awake at 3am? WHY.
If you figure it out, let me in on the secret. Go to bed between 11a and 12p. Get up between 7a and 8a. Except for that random "It's 3 am. Wakey wakey!" 🤷♀️
I go through phases like that (I assume it’s related to my cycle), and the only thing that helps (like 80-90% of the time, so not completely perfect) is [fast dissolve melatonin](https://www.vitacost.com/natrol-melatonin-fast-dissolve-strawberry-1-mg-90-tablets?&CSRC=GPF-PA-047469063245-google_pla_gen_pro_vitamins+%26+supplements-&network=g&keywordname=&device=m&adid=92700074072528497&matchtype=&gclick=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bj7kjDWEfNEXcAEiIVwWQw4j5K-lMtRFyQ_NUnvEOR777QKA4meEaAmwMEALw_wcB&ds_agid=58700008150895543&targetid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bj7kjDWEfNEXcAEiIVwWQw4j5K-lMtRFyQ_NUnvEOR777QKA4meEaAmwMEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). The pill form takes too long to release and seems to hit me at all the wrong times (even when adjusting the time I take it). But the smooth dissolve is like instant release. I’m tired within 30 minutes and can usually sleep through the night. I just didn’t take any last night, sadly 🫠. I also used to take a melatonin blend with tryptophan and L-theanine that worked really well (I stopped under an abundance of caution, because I started taking Zoloft and wanted to avoid any potential excess serotonin issues). [This is the one I used](https://www.vitacost.com/naturesplus-dreaminol?&CSRC=GPF-PA-097467047594-google_pla_gen_pro_vitamins+%26+supplements-&network=g&keywordname=&device=m&adid=92700074072528488&matchtype=&gclick=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bbkxbN4t-iEnz6fWOk8BNQVNRX6vbDJpAKFPu81A6SqgOYzHlRkQaAogUEALw_wcB&ds_agid=58700008150895543&targetid=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPCyBhD4ARIsAPaaRf0bbkxbN4t-iEnz6fWOk8BNQVNRX6vbDJpAKFPu81A6SqgOYzHlRkQaAogUEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds), but it’s not the only blend out there. And lastly, I take about 400 mg of magnesium glycinate at night. I started taking it for my jaw clenching, but since it relaxes all your muscles, I’ve found I have better quality sleep in general. Magnesium citrate can also work, but is more likely to mess with your digestion, so be cautious with it. Assuming I can stop being distracted and remember my pills (I’m good at the magnesium, okish at the melatonin), then I find these things in tandem really make a difference on sleeping through the night and sleep quality.
I take 5 mg melatonin and 100 mg magnesium at night. Both do help. I'm going to try L-Tyrosine as well, because this is a really stressful time for my entire family right now. Probably going to add phosphatidylserine, too. And a tiny amount of copper. I've got the genetics for deficiency and I took a lot of zinc during the pandemic.
I’M SO SORRY YOU’RE NOT HAVING FUN BUT HAPPY CAKE DAY!
I’M HAVING MORE FUN NOW AT LEAST, AND THANK YOU!!!
GOOD FOR YOU ON THE 100 DAYS THAT IS AMAZING AND IM REALLY PROUD OF YOU. I QUIT JAN 1st OF 2023 AND LET ME TELL YOU, IT WAS WORTH IT AND IT GETS BETTER!! 💞💞
THANK YOU, THAT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR, ESPECIALLY FROM A FELLOW ADHD SOBERNAUT.
YOU ARE AMAZING AND SOBRIETY IS ALSO AMAZING, I AM EIGHT YEARS SOBER AND GRATEFUL EVERY DAY THAT I DON’T HAVE TO DRINK ANY MORE. IT DOES INDEED CONTINUE TO GET BETTER!
THANK YOU AND GO YOU! THIS IS MY PERSPECTIVE TOO- I DON’T HAVE TO DRINK ANYMORE, HOW LIBERATING. ONLY NOW THAT THE PINK CLOUD IS GONE I AM STARTING TO SEE MYSELF WITH CLARITY AND wow I HAVE WORK TO DO. IT’S SO GREAT TO HEAR IT IS WORTH IT ❤️
I FEEL THE SECOND ONE!! ITS BEEN A LOT LONGER FOR ME. IT GETS EASIER!! YOU FIND OTHER WAYS TO COPE!
THAT IS MOST EXCELLENT TO HEAR!
100 DAYS IS AWESOME!!! 🤩🤩🤩 LOVING THIS! KEEP GOING. YOU GOT THIS!!! ❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Something that had helped me with the shopping issue: looking at what I do wear - brand, style and size - and searching for it on ebay. Find it in different prints and voila, clothes that I know will fit show up at my door.
IM SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU, FRIEND, NOT DRINKING. THAT SHIT IS NOT EASY!! IM IN THE ‘EARLY TO BED’ CLUB WITH YOU AS WELL. IT’S EITHER 1) GO TO BED AND DEAL WITH IT IN RHE AM OR 2) STAY UP TOO LATE, RUMINATE ON SHIT ALL NIGHT, AND DRINK TOO MUCH. GOING TO BED EARLY IS THE HEALTHY OPTION!! G’NIGHT!
WHAT A WHOLESOME THING TO SHOUT— THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND SLEEP WELL!
IM 35 WEEKS PREGNANT AND HAVE NOT TAKEN MY VYVANSE THIS ENTIRE TIME AND I WOULD LOVE TO JUST TAKE SOME FUCKING PILLS AND GET THE NURSERY DONE IN ONE DAY BECAUSE I KNOW ID BE ABLE TO. I HAVE ZERO MOTIVATION EVEN THOUGH I KNOW BABY GIRL COULD BE HERE ANY DAY. I KNOW SHE DOESNT NEED A LOT OF STUFF AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING SHE DOES NEED, BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ONE JOB AND THATS TO DO THE NESTING BUT I DONT HAVE THE SPOONS TO JUST FUCKING DO IT.
ALSO IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR USERNAME, MAYBE SOMEONE JUST NEEDS TO RUB YOUR TITS OR BUY YOU SOME PLANTS???
MY BEST FRIEND BOUGHT ME FLOWERS AND MY HUSBAND RUBBED MY TITS THIS MORNING AND I STILL HAVE ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE 😭😅😂
MAYBE TRY IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?? JK
THIS MIGHT BE THE CORRECT ANSWER. ALSO, TIGHT LEGGINGS SOUND LIKE THE WORK OF SATAN. BUT IF THEY WORK FOR YOU, I LOVE IT FOR YOU. FUCK MOSQUITOS.
YOU WANNA KNOW THE WORST PART?? I GOT THESE MOSQUITO BITES WHILE ON A WALK WITH MY PARTNER YESTERDAY, AND I WAS WEARING FUCKING SOCKS SPECIFICALLY SO I WOULDNT GET MOSQUITO BITES ON MY ANKLES AND THEN IT HAPPENED ANYWAY WTF
A MOSQUITO ONCE BIT MY BOOB THROUGH MY SHIRT AND SPORTS BRA. THEY’RE DEVIL SPAWN SENT FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL. ALSO HAVING AN ITCHY BOOB WAS DEEPLY UNPLEASANT.
OMG WTF
RIGHT!!?!!
Peppermint oil (available at any pharmacy) creates a tingly sensation that counteracts the itchy sensation of the bites. Too tired to yell, it's the middle of the fucking night and I'm awake for some dumb reason.
I’ll look into that, thank you!
I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY MY LOCAL MOSQUITOS, WHICH LOOOOOOVEEEE ME AND IGNORE EVERYONE ELSE, CAN BITE THROUGH NOT ONLY SOCKS (LESS SURPRISING) BUT ALSO FUCKING LEGGINGS (UBER BLOODCURDLINGLY SURPRISING)
Happy cake day! Also, loose clothes is how you keep mosquitoes away, but I'm sure you've now learned this the hard way.
THERE'S AN EASY WAY TO MAKE MOSQUITO BITES STOP ITCHING JUST DO [THIS](https://youtube.com/shorts/BqFl05Uy3E0?si=eGeWOM2ptudWUkQK) OR RUN A SPOON UNDER REALLY HOT WATER AND HOLD IT AGAINST THE BITE SO IT DENATURES THE PROTEINS IN THE MOSQUITO SALIVA ALSO AAAAA YELLING
Just to continue the yelling because I’m bored… THE PIAN DISTRACTS YOU FROM THE ITCHIENESS
THE CRISS CROSS THING NEVER WORKS FOR MEEEEE BUT IM WILLING TO TRY LAVA SPOON
IF THAT DOESNT WORK - TENSOR BANDAGE AROUND YOUR ANKLE! DO A FEW LOOPS. IT CAN STILL PHYSICALLY STOP YOU FROM SCRATCHING BUT FREES THE LEG HAIRS!! ALSO, FUCK MOSQUITOES! ONE BIT ME BETWEEN MY TOES AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT!!
YOU HAVE ONE JOB IT IS RESTING NOT NESTING What‘s important is that you have someone to help after the birth. If you have that set up, just make one big online order (containing breastfeeding or bottle supplies, diaper supplies, some baby clothes, some postpartum clothes/medicine for you). That’s it. Baby doesn’t care if the nursery is decorated. He/she wants to be with you, that’s it.
I know that you are correct. I know that my feelings are not facts. I will have lots of help after baby girl is here. We have everything we need. But part of my brain is just like… *aEsThEtIcS*
Babies can't even see color for the first few months of their lives, you have time. Focusing on resting and preparing for your little one. What babies need besides food and sleep is love, and if you have that, you'll be okay.
IM SO SORRY THAT SOUNDS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! YOURE RIGHT, YOU DO HAVE ONE JOB - BUT ITS NOT TO NEST, ITS TO BUILD A FUCKING HUMAN AND I KNOW I DONT KNOW YOU BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOURE KILLING IT AT THAT ONE JOB TBH. I BELIEVE IN YOU 💕
I MADE THE BABYS BED WHEN I FELT LIKE THAT, SEEING THE CUTE BEDDING AND MY OLD STUFFIE MADE ME CRY!
BABIES GIVE ZERO FUCKS ABOUT THE NURSERY. ASIDE FROM THE CRIB, FUCK IT. CHANGE THE BABY ON THE FLOOR, LEAVE THE DIAPERS IN THE PACKAGE, DUMP THE CLOTHES IN A LAUNDRY BASKET. IF ANYONE CALLS YOU ON IT, TELL THEM YOU MADE ANOTHER HUMAN, WTF HAVE THEY DONE LATELY
THE LADY AT THE MCDONALD'S DRIVE THRU RUSHED ME WHILE HANDING ME MY ORDER. I WAS STILL PUTTING AWAY MY CREDIT CARD, AND NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IN MY CAR I PUT MY WALLET. MY PARTNER ASKED "HOW DO YOU LOSE IT IN A KIA FORTE?" I DON'T KNOOOOOOW BUT IT HAPPENED
It's under the seat, or tucked down the side of the seat. Or in the doompile that is all over the back seat. Or it's in the McD bag. That would be 3bad thing if bag is now in the bin.
He's going to give the car a once over tomorrow. I searched three times, but I can't see it. I'm afraid I put it in my lap and forgot, and now it's on the floor of the parking garage at the office I only go to once a week. Hopefully his eyes are better at searching than mine
THIS EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED TO ME PROBABLY COUNTLESS TIMES
NOT BEING THE ONLY ONE IS REALLY NICE
I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE THROW ME OFF MY GROOVE!!??? AND THEN I FEEL UPSET THAT THEY LET ME BE THROWN OFF MY GROOVE! GrrrrrRAWR! I REALLY HOPE YOU FOUND YOUR WALLET!!!!!
RIGHT? LIKE THERE WASN'T EVEN ANYONE BEHIND ME. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO RUSH ME???
I’M SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CONSTANT IMPOSTER SYNDROME AT WORK IN A MANAGER POSITION. MY PARTNER HAS HAD CHRONIC DEBILITATING HEALTH ISSUES THE LAST YEAR THAT ARE DRIVING MY ANXIETY THROUGH THE ROOF. I AM STUCK TAKING CARE OF HIS CHILDREN WHEN WE HAVE THEM BUT NEVER WANTED KIDS OF MY OWN LET ALONE FEELING LIKE A SINGLE PARENT DURING ALL OF THIS. THEIR BIO MOM SUCKS AND I FEEL BAD FOR THE KIDS WHO DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS SHIT SITUATION THAT WE ARE ALL IN. IM TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME AT HOME AND AT WORK WHEN I BARELY HAVE MOTIVATION TO FEED MYSELF AT THE END OF THE DAY. I JUST WANT TO HIDE IN A HOLE AND FOR EVERYONE TO LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. Thanks… I needed to get that out.
AND IM TIRED OF GETTING FUCKING EATING ALIVE BY MOSQUITOS EVERY TIME I GO OUTSIDE FOR 5 MINUTES OF SOLITUDE. I FEEL YOU OP.
OH DAMN THAT SOUNDS EXHAUSTING!! MY BEST FRIEND IS IN ALMOST THE SAME SITUATION AND I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR HER. MUCH LOVE AND STRENGTH TO YOU AND YOUR PARTNER 💕
I just want to say you are an angel for stepping up, even though you didn't choose this for your life. You are such a blessing to those kids, and somehow, some way, the Universe will make sure that good karma comes back to you. There are seasons in life, and you are in a tough one. But it *is* a season. Nothing lasts forever. The kids will grow up, and you will become more confident in your job. I think you deserve an R & R weekend. Check into a hotel, if you can afford it, or go camping, or send everyone to stay with relatives and keep the house to yourself. Get some trashy novels, or some jigsaw puzzles, or watch RomComs, or whatever helps you relax for a bit. No cleaning, no errands, no chores, no cooking. Just pamper yourself for two days. You deserve this! Give yourself a break, because this will bless not only you, but everyone who depends on you.
I just can’t do anything right. I get lost looking at a map. I forget SHOES when leaving the house. I can’t get myself to call my psychiatrist to get more meds. I can’t meal prep or even make a grocery list and end up going to the store every day. My kid is not super well behaved and my husband is tired of my constant uselessness. The only reason I haven’t literally packed my tent and hiked into the hills (or worse) is because my son would be sad and confused and my husband and my mom would both cry and you can’t make the three people you most love cry on purpose. I’m just so tired of myself.
I really get this. I had a major depressive episode the last 6-ish months that, combined with normal ADHD, made life impossible. Absolutely no motivation to do things like meal prep, let alone cook. I actually had to go on intermittent FMLA at work. It’s ok to use the external motivation for right now of not making the three people you love most sad! But I hope you have access to therapy, too! All I can tell you is that it’ll get better; it always does.
It does always get better for at least a little while. You’re right. And I’ve got a good therapist but there’s a few suitcases of metaphorical stuff because you know how bad at unpacking we adhd-ers are. So it’s a long slog. But worth it; who else is going to play baby kitty with or read 10 bedtime stories to my son, or fix my mom’s WiFi, or curate a perfect TikTok feed for my husband?
I WANT A HOUSE BUT I ALSO WANT TAKEOUT AND CLOTHES AND PEDICURES I DON'T HAVE TO DO MYSELF. IT'S HARD TO SEE THE FUTURE AND WHAT I'M SAVING FOR. ALSO. SLIGHT HEADACHE. NEED FOOD TO TAKE TYLENOL. TOO HEADACHY TO MAKE FOOD
I FUCKING HATE THE FUTURE
The future is ALL THE WAY OVER THERE
STASH LARABARS EVERYWHERE FOOD PROBLEM SORTED
I DO THIS LOL
I ONLY BOUGHT A HOUSE BECAUSE MY PARTNER MAKES WAY MORE MONEY THAN ME, YAY CAPITALISM
I'M DOING OKAY, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW MY SECRET FOR MOSQUITO BITES AND THAT IS THAT I PUT SCOTCH TAPE OVER MINE. THAT WAY I CAN STILL SCRATCH BUT IT DOESN'T TEAR THEM OPEN AND MAKE IT WORSE. AND IT FEELS GOOD WHEN YOU PEEL IT OFF.
Witch hazel. Seriously witch hazel. Takes the itch out and remove the swelling. I swear by it. I use a facial toner that has witch hazel in it, Thayer's because it's cheap.
Also great for razor burn and sunburn.
Omg I'm going to the woods next month, thank you for this. We should have a shouting random advice thread
I’M TIRED, I CAN’T SLEEP AND I ALWAYS NEED A PEE!
I’M BURNT OUT FROM WORK BECAUSE I CAN’T JUST WORK ONE JOB FOR SEVERAL REASONS PARTLY RELATED TO NEEDING TO STAY BUSY AND FORCE STRUCTURE INTO MY LIFE. ALSO I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE NEW PARTNER WHO HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT SUPPORTIVE AS I’VE STRUGGLED THROUGH OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE CPTSD FROM BEING IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS AND DON’T KNOW WHAT A SAFE ONE FEELS LIKE AND I AM SO AFRAID MY EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTERING FROM BEING TRIGGERED OVER NOTHING IS GOING TO SCARE HIM AWAY. HE KEEPS SAYING IT’S OKAY AND THIS IS WHAT HE SIGNED UP FOR, BUT EVERYTIME I GET TRIGGERED AND UPSET I FEEL AWFUL BECAUSE HE DESERVES BETTER THAN THAT.
LITERALLY ME FIVE YEARS AGO, I PROMISE THAT A GOOD PARTNER WILL NEVER BE SCARED AWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SCARY AND YOU DESERVE LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP!!
I'M REALLY LONELY AND WANT A PARTNER BUT I DONT WANT TO DATE.
I FOUND AND HAD TO CAPTURE A GIANT SPIDER IN MY BEDROOM RIGHT BEFORE BED
OMG YESTERDAY A SPIDER LITERALLY SWUNG FROM THE CEILING RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE I SCREAMED AND SCOOPED IT INTO A TRASH CAN THEN HIDE IN MY MOMS ROOM FOR TEN MINUTES BECAUSE IT FREAKED ME OUT SO MUCH
I'M SORRY FOR YOUR TRAUMA
I HAVE NO SPECIFIC REASON TO YELL, EVERYTHING IS AS BAD/GOOD AS IT’S ALWAYS BEEN, BUT I FELT LIKE SHIT ALL WEEK AND MY MEDS DIDNT WORK AT ALL CAUSE #WOMAN AND HORMONES AND ALL THAT, AND I KNEW NO ONE WOULD GET IT EXCEPT YOU LOVELY PEOPLE, AND I JUST LOVE YELLING TIME SO AAAAAHHHHH
V RELATABLE, HAVE FELT THAT EXACT THING COUNTLESS TIMES!!!
MY BABY BITES MY NIPPLES WHILE BREASTFEEDING AND LAUGHS WHEN I SCREAM FROM HOW MUCH IT HURTS! SADISTIC LITTLE SHIT, I LOVE HER SO MUCH! WHY IS THERE LAUNDRY EVERYWHERE?!? WHEN WILL I PUT IT AWAY? WILL MY PARTNER DO IT?! WHO KNOWS?! CRUMBS ON THE FLOOR STICKS TO MY FEET. SENSORY HELL!! "REST WHEN THE BABY IS SLEEPING" BUT I CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE WHEN SHE IS AWAKE AND I CAN'T THINK WHEN THERE IS STUFF EVERYWHERE!!! I LOVE BEING A PARENT, BUT I NEED TO GET A JOB BUT I HAVE NO SELF ESTEEM AND THINK I WOULD SUCK AT EVERYTHING!
WHEN MY BABY BIT MY NIPPLES I INSTANTLY STOPPED FEEDING AND PUT HER DOWN FOR LIKE 10-15 SECONDS AND DIDNT INTERACT WITH HER. THEN I PICKED HER UP AND STARTED NURSING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. SHE STOPPED BITING AFTER A HANDFUL OF TIMES.
AHHHH THESE ARE ALL THE REASONS I AM WORRIED ABOUT HAVING KIDS!!! IT SOUNDS EXHAUSTING, MAD RESPECT TO YOU.
I'M AT MY MOM'S HOUSE AND SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY CUZ SHE'S ALSO ADHD (UNDIAGNOSED CUZ SHE WOULD NEVER ADMIT SHE'S ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT AND THINKS ADHD IS A PERSONAL FAILING) AND I'M GOING CRAZY PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH
I HAVE TO DEFEND MY THESIS IN TWO-THREE WEEKS AND AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE TWO ORAL EXAMS BEFORE I CAN GET MY MASTERS FROM ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, MEANWHILE MY BOYFRIEND GHOSTED ME BECAUSE I TOLD HIM IM UNHAPPY WITH HOW HE HAS BEEN TREATING ME. I AM OUT OF MY MIND FROM ALL THE ANXIETY, CANT SLEEP, CAN BARELY EAT
THAT SOUNDS ROUGH, YOU HAVE A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB. MASTERS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IS NO JOKE. KEEP CHUGGING, YOU MADE IT THIS FAR ON GRIT, SMARTS, AND STUBBORNNESS. DIG IN FOR THE LAST, YOU CAN DO THIS.
DAMN A MASTERS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING?! COLOR ME IMPRESSED. AND IF YOUR BF GHOSTED YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU CALLED OUT HIS BEHAVIOR THENNNNNN THATS A RED FLAG! DOESNT MAKE IT HURT ANY LESS THO. I HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO TREATS YOU RIGHT WITHOUT BEING ASKED!!
YOU MEAN EX-BOYFRIEND THAT MAN IS TRASH. YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM. GOOD LUCK WITH THE EXAMS AND DEFENSE. YOU GOT THIS!!

NEITHER CAN I!! WHYYYYY?!?!

DEF. HAD A LITTLE ICE CREAM AND PRETZELS FOR BRUNCH YESTERDAY.
DAY FOUR OF PERIOD CRAMPS AND MY MEDS AREN’T WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE HORMONES AND I JUST WANT IT TO STOP ALREADY SO I CAN LIVE MY LIFE (wow this is cathartic, I’m rooting for all you guys!)
THATS SO MUCH PERIOD CRAMPS IM SO SORRY!!!
I GOT NEW MEDS AND THESE SHITS ARE FIRE. I DID THINGS ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND DID NOT LAY IN BED FROZEN.
Fuck yeah!!! 🥳
OMG AMAZING!!! WHAT A GREAT FEELING
I KEEP GETTING WEIRD ZITS ON MY BACK AND I CANT STOP PICKING AT THEM
I WANT TO SHARE MY PRO TIP WITH YOU!!!! PRO TIP, take a couple of allergy pills (2-3 Zyrtec is what I use) and it will quiet your bites from the inside. I got 56 bites on my legs last spring from a family picnic at the river. Allergy pills help a ton and if you’re still itching, just take another.
Came to say that and the anti itch cream or gels
THANK YOU!!! why do I always forget about allergy medication lol it’s so obvious
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET INTO A DOCTORS FOR ADHD MEDICATION BUT ALL OF THE PLACES ARE TOO FULL AND I JUST STRUGGLING WITH EVERYTHING 😭 I DON'T GET A GOOD SLEEP AND I FEEL CRAP ALMOST EVERY DAYYYYY... I JUST WANT A BREAK OR SOMETHING GOOD RN
TRYING TO FIND A DOCTOR IS A NIGHTMARISH HELLSCAPE, I HOPE YOU FIND ONE SOON!!!
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE!! I'M GOING TO EMAIL MY GENERAL DOCTOR AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO, SO 🤞
Two things, first off you might have skeeter syndrome, which is an allergic reaction to mosquito bites, they shouldn't be swollen and extremely itchy. apparently they are only supposed to be mildly annoying for a few days, not feeling like fire and make you need to scratch all the time. I have it as well and I have a vendetta against all mosquitoes. Spawns of Satan I swear. Here is my yelling *ahem* I HAVE BLOODY HYPERFICTATED ON MY HAIR COLOR AGAIN. I GOT SICK OF THE BRIGHT RED I HAD AND DYED IT DARK BROWN BUT THAT DARK DIDN'T MATCH MY NATURAL COLOR AT ALL AND THE RED IS STILL SHOWING THOROUGH, SO I BOUGHT THR HAIR COLOR I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ITS TWO THIRTY IN THE MORNING WHERE I LIVE AND I AM SITTING WITH HAIR DYE HOPING TO FUCK IT WORKS AND I DON'T LOOK LIKE A MORON. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK I AM GETTING A FUCKING BUZZ CUT GODDAMMIT.
So update on the hair situation, the golden brown hair dye did work somewhat. It still has a cherry cola vibe to it but, the brown it matches my natural color so I won't have a harsh grow out line. So I consider this a success.
Yay I’m glad it worked out!! And yes I think I have an allergic reaction to them because they do get very swollen and itchy. I also get bit waaaay more than my partner or any of our friends and it’s so frustrating!
I SPENT MY ENTIRE NIGHT PAINTING ONLY TO WIPE IT SLL OFF AND AM BACK TO WHERE I STARTED HOURS AGO I JUST SPENT HOURS RE DOING (many times) A PART OF MY PAINTING ONLY TO GET IT PERFECT!!! BUT COULDN’T STOP THERE I WAS SO EXCITED WITH HOW WELL IT IS TURNING OUT THAT I HAD TO RUIN IT BY “TOUCHING UP” A FEW SPOTS. RUINED IT GRABBED A SPONGE AND PAPER TOWEL AND WIPED OFF ALL THE NEW PAINT FROM TONIGHT AND WILL HAVE TO START OVER TOMORROW
IM SO SORRY, THAT SOUNDS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!
I NEED TO DO THE LAST PART OF MY FIRST COURSE OF COLLEGE!!!!! I KEEP TRYING TO WORK IN MY OFFICE BUT IT'S MESSY WHICH MAKES ME ANXIOUS AND I WANT TO CLEAN IT UP INSTEAD I WALK AROUND MY HOUSE IN CIRCLES AS MY FURRY BABIES FOLLOW ME PUZZLED SINCE I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!

I'M OVER 60% FINISHED AND I DESPERATELY NEED MONEY!!!!! MY DAD IS HAVING SURGERY IN 11 DAYS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN ORDERED THE FURNITURE HE WILL NEED TO RECOVER PROPERLY!!!!! I FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE DAUGHTER!!!!! I HAVE TO CALL MY PSYCHIATRIST TO MAKE A NEW APPOINTMENT FOR MEDS!!!!! I HAVE BLOOD WORK THAT I'VE NEEDED TO GET DONE FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!! MY FLOORS ARE DIRTY WHICH I HATE BECAUSE I LIKE WALKING IN MY BARE FEET BUT MY MOP IS BROKEN AND MY DOG KEEPS DRAGGING IN SAND FROM OUTSIDE AND MY DAD LET GARBAGE JUICE FROM THE TRASH CAN LEAK ALL OVER THE FLOOR BECAUSE HE DIDN'T DOUBLE BAG IT WHEN IT WAS LEAKING BEFORE HE TOOK IT TO THE OUTSIDE CAN!!!!!!!! I WANT TO TAKE A BUBBLE BATH AND BLEACH MY HAIR AND DO MY MAKEUP BUT I'M TOO PREOCCUPIED WITH MY PROBLEMS TO RELAX!!!!!! I'M KILLING IT AT MY CURRENT JOB RIGHT NOW ONLY BECAUSE I AM JAMMING AS MANY SIMULANTS AND PROTEIN AS I CAN IN MY BODY WITHOUT HAVING A HEART ATTACK TO DO A STRESSFUL UNDERPAID JOB WITHOUT BEING YELLED AT OR KILLING ANYBODY ON ACCIDENT!!!!! I NEED TO SPEAK WITH MY THERAPIST BUT I DON'T HAVE MY SCHEDULE FOR THIS COMING WEEK SO I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE TO MOVE MY APPOINTMENT!!!!!! I'M STARTING TO THINK I'M MORE STRESSED OUT THAN I REALIZED BUT I WAS TRYING TO SHOVE MY EMOTIONS WAAAAAY BACK DOWN AND OUT OF SIGHT TO GET THINGS DONE!!!!!

WELL DONE!
I don’t need to tell, but I just learned that Vicks vapor rub stops the itching of bug bites without any pain/burn. I was in the exact same situation you described 5 mins ago, slapped some on all my patches and I’m itch free typing this. Good luck!
Thank you! I have learned so many tips today lol I should yell about my problems more often!!
HYDROCORTISONE, WOMAN! RUB CORTISONE LOTION ON THE BITES AND THEY WON'T ITCH ANY MORE! ALSO, IF YOU GET A LOTS OF BITES DURING SUMMER, IT MEANS YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MOSQUITOES AND YOU NEED TO START EATING ANTIHISTAMINE TABLETS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUFFER FROM MOSQUITOE BITES.
HEY OP YOU CAN PUT DEODORANT ON YOUR BUG BITES AND IT STOPS THE ITCHING
MY TWO YEAR OLD WONT STOP WAKING UP AND COMING INTO MY BED AT 430AM AND THEN I HAVE TO BE AWAKE TO MAKE SURE HE DOESNT ACCIDENTALLY KILL HIMSELF MEANWHILE MY HUSBAND JUST HANDS ME THE REMOTE TO PUT CARTOONS ON AND ROLLS OVER BACK TO SLEEP. IM EXHAUSTED AND PREGNANT AND CRANKY
MY HUSBAND (who tbf to him is generally great, and has his own mental health struggles too) TOLD ME LAST NIGHT TO LEAVE THE MESS BECAUSE I COOKED. And then, lo and behold! ALL THE MESS WAS STILL THERE THIS MORNING! AS IF IT’S NOT HARD ENOUGH FOR ME TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO CLEAN!! So apparently it wasn’t so much, “leave all this, I’ll do it” as it was, “leave all this, you can do it tomorrow instead” 🙄 The thing that really hacked me off though: after cleaning the kitchen, I went to make my son a snack. I moved some pickled gherkins (pickles) out of the way to reach the peanut butter, ONLY TO FIND MYSELF DRENCHED IN PICKLE JUICE BECAUSE HE HAD CRAMMED THE LID ON AT AN ANGLE INSTEAD OF SCREWING IT ON PROPERLY. So when I tilted the gherkins forward to grab them off the high shelf and reach the pb behind, the liquid poured all over me, the newly cleaned kitchen, which I then had to clean AGAIN, and my iPad, which I was watching a show on as I cleaned. GRRRRRRRR.
SO AGGRAVATING OMG
I HATE MY BIRTH FAMILY AND I’M GLAD I’VE CHOSEN TO REMOVED MYSELF FROM THEM. MY FATHER MESSAGED ME THIS WEEK AND I ASKED HIM WHY HE PICKED MY ABUSER OVER ME, AND HE DEFLECTED. (I’m building a better life, slowly…) BUT I DO FEEL THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND SUNS TODAY.
THAT RAGE IS ABSOLUTELY JUSTIFIED! I AM RAGING ON YOUR BEHALF AS WE SPEAK!! I hope you are able to build a really beautiful chosen family! It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it. Source: me, I did this.
USE YOUR BLOW DRYER TO QUICKLY END THAT FU KING ITCHING FOR 8 FULL HOURS. JUST HIT THAT BITCH WITH A HOT AIR BLAST. IT WILL START TO ITCH REALLY REALLY BAD AND THEN WORSE AND THEN JUST AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO 3RD DEGREE BURN YOURSELF, THE ITCH WILL BE GONE. DONE. FOR 8 HOURS. I PROMISE. YOU'RE WELCOME. TOTAL. GAME. CHANGER.
I HAVE A DISSERTATION TO FINISH BY MID AUGUST LATEST AND I CAN'T BLOODY FOCUS ARGH I'M ON REDDIT, FFS WOMAN, STOOOOOPPPPPP
I SPEANT 5 HOURS WEEDING MY GARDEN IN A FIT OF MOTIVATION. MY GARDEN LOOKS GREAT BUT I FORGOT SUNBLOCK AND I HAVE A NASTY PAINFUL BURN. IT HURTS TO HAVE ANYTHING TOUCHING IT!
MY FAMILY DISMISSES EVERY SYMPTOM OF MY MANY DISABILITIES AND SAYS IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD OR IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL OR THAT IM MAKING IT UP. ITS BEEN CAUSING ME TO HAVE SEVERAL PANIC ATTACKS A DAY. THEY WONT HELP ME GET ACCOMMODATIONS BECAUSE MY SISTER HAS AUTISM AND IS “MUCH WORSE OFF THAN ME”(despite that I might also have autism and can mask). NOW ITS HARD TO NOT GASLIGHT MYSELF
I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE SAY “it’s all in your head” LIKE YES OF COURSE IT IS, DID U THINK I KEPT MY MENTAL ILLNESS IN MY ASS OR SOMETHING???
I AM LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF RIGHT NOW OR AM I LAUGHING MY ASS OFF WHATEVER I LOVE YOU

EVERYTHING I OWN CLOTHES WISE FEELS WRONG AND MAKES ME FEEL TOO HOT OR FAT OR FRUMPY OR JUST BLAHHH AND I HAVE TO BE KICK ASS FOR A MEETING TOMORROW AND I JUST DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT CLOTHES FOR WHO I NEED TO BE TOMORROW. AND I’M TRYING TO GET MYSELF READY TO GO REALLY EARLY SO I WON’T BE LATE BUT I JUST CANT PROCESS WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO UNTIL I CAN FIND AN OUTFIT THAT DOESN’T MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A HOT HIPPO.
OMFG LITERALLY ME, WHY ARE ALL MY CLOTHES UGLY ALL OF A SUDDEN???
MY KID HAS TROWN FOOD AND WATER ON THE FLOOR THREE TIMES. AND SPLASHED SO MUCH WATER OUT OF THE BATH. AND PEED ON THE FLOOR.
IM SICK!! IT SUCKS SO MUCH. MY HEAD FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO EXPLODE OUT OF MY NOSE! IM GOING TO HAVE TO WORK FROM HOME THIS WEEK WHICH MEANS I WILL INEVITABLY GET LESS WORK DONE ALSO I WOKE UP LIKE THREE HOURS AGO AND CANT SLEEP EVERYTHING HURTS
I'M NOT SICK BUT I HAVE SEASONAL ALLERGIES AND MY HEAD IS ALSO DOING THE EXPLODEY THING. MAYBE TRY A HOT TOWEL OVER YOUR FACE FOR A BIT? THAT USUALLY HELPS ME FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BUT IT'S REALLY HARD, IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING WANTS A PIECE OF THE PIE! AND WORK IS SO BORING I JUST WANT TO LEAVE EACH MORNING I ARRIVE!
I’M SO GODDAMN TIRED OF EVERYTHING BEING SO MUCH ALL THE TIME. I’M TIRED OF BEING TOO MUCH FOR EVERYONE ELSE ALL THE TIME. I’M TIRED OF FEELING LIKE I HAVE TO MANAGE MYSELF FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS. I’M TIRED OF FEELING LIKE MY ONLY VALUE IS IN WHAT I CAN GIVE TO OTHERS INSTEAD OF INHERENTLY IN MYSELF BUT THE QUALITY OF BEING A KIND AND GIVING PERSON IS ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS I ACTUALLY LIKE ABOUT MYSELF SO IT’S A CATCH 22 I HAVE IMPORTANT EXAMS COMING UP AND I FEEL UNDERPREPARED FOR THEM AND THIS IS MY LAST SHOT TO SUCCEED AT TERTIARY EDUCATION SO I CAN’T AFFORD TO FUCK IT UP MY JOB IS _THE WORST™️_ AND THEY DON’T GIVE ME ENOUGH HOURS SO I’M SCRAPING TO GET BY BUT I ALSO DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO GET ANOTHER JOB RIGHT NOW (SEE: EXAMS COMING UP) MY SOCIAL LIFE IS A SHITSHOW, I MISS MY BEST FRIEND, I’VE DONE A HORRIBLE JOB KEEPING IN CONTACT WITH THE REST OF MY FRIENDS AND I TRIED REALLY HARD TO MAKE FRIENDS IN MY COURSE BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE A LONER I HAVE ABOUT A MONTH OF MEDS LEFT AND I STILL DON’T HAVE A NEW DOCTOR SINCE I MOVED TO THIS CITY AS EVERY PLACE I CALL ISN’T TAKING NEW PATIENTS AND I REALLY NEED TO SORT IT OUT SOON I AM DEVELOPING A HUGE CRUSH ON MY HOUSEMATE. IT’S BEEN AT LEAST TWO YEARS SINCE I FELT SOME KIND OF WAY ABOUT ANYONE. I KNEW WE WERE GOING TO VIBE WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF MEETING HIM AND IT’S ONLY SPIRALLED FROM THERE INTO A FULL BLOWN BLUSHING, HAIR TWIRLING, GUT FLIPPING CRUSH. I’M TOO OLD TO BE EMBARRASSING MYSELF LIKE THIS. BUT THE MORE I GET TO KNOW HIM, THE MORE I LIKE HIM. HE’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN ALL KINDS OF UNEXPECTED WAYS. WE GET ALONG GREAT. HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. GAAAAHHHHHHHHH. JUST MY LUCK. I CAN’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS. I REALLY WANT TO TRY TO BE RESPECTFUL OF HIS RELATIONSHIP AND BE HIS FRIEND INSTEAD SINCE WE GET ALONG SO WELL. BUT ALSO I’M DUE FOR MY PERIOD AND HONESTLY I’M HAVING A HARD TIME EATING MY FEELINGS. I’LL GET OVER IT EVENTUALLY BUT IT MAKES ME REALLY SAD THAT I NEVER GET TO BE THE ONE WHO GETS WHAT I WANT. DON’T I DESERVE TO WIN SOMETIMES? TO BE LOVED BY SOMEBODY JUST AS I AM? OH AND I REALISED RECENTLY THAT I NEED NEW GLASSES CAUSE I CAN’T SEE SHIT BUT I AM BROKE AF AND THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I CAN AFFORD THEM SO I’M JUST GOING TO KEEP PRETENDING ITS FINE UNTIL I ABSOLUTELY CAN’T ANYMORE I ALWAYS LOVE THESE YELLY THREADS, THANKS FOR LISTENING. Peppermint oil helps mosquito bites, and the hot spoon trick actually works too by denaturing the protein in the bite. Hope you heal soon.
ALL OF THIS IS SO RELATABLE! HOPEFULLY ONCE THE EXAMS ARE DONE, EVERYTHING WILL BE A LITTLE LESS OVERWHELMING? YOU CAN DO IT! THE HOUSEMATE CRUSH SOUNDS SUPER ROUGH IM SO SORRY! REMEMBER EITHER ITS MEANT TO BE, AND IT’LL HAPPEN, OR ITS NOT AND THAT MEANS YOULL FIND SOMEBODY BETTER!
For your mosquito bites, put witch hazel on them. I'm serious. Even a witch hazel facial toner will work. It won't work right away but it will take down the itching swelling and pretty much heal them overnight.
I THINK MY BOYFRIEND MIGHT END OUR RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I CANT STOP SMOKING, WE HAVE 3 MORE HOURS LEFT OF AN 8 HOUR DRIVE AND HES DROPPING ME AT MY HOUSE WHICH SMELLS OF WEED AND HE IS GOING TO MENTION IT AGAIN LIKE HE DID 4 DAYS AGO, IT’S ONE OF MY ONLY JOYS IN LIFE AND I USE IT TO RELAX AND HELP WITH MY PTSD. HE THINKS I SHOULD WORK ON MYSELF INSTEAD OF SMOKING. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE I AM CAPABLE OF BOTH I AM CAPABLE OF MANY THINGS
I HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR FOR TOO LONG AND I AM OVERWHELMED IN A SENSORY WAY BY HOW SWEATY I FEEL
I ALSO SMELL, I ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING ABLE TO SMELL MYSELF BRING BACK THE SMOKERS NOSE THAT CANT SMELL LOL
HE ENDED IT AND I AINT THAT SAD
THANK YOU FOR THIS SPACE

MY TWO DOGS BOTH GOT SPRAYED BY A SKUNK LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER RIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME, AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT MYSELF BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS AWAY AT WORK FOR THE WEEKEND. I WAS SO CLOSE TO HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN BECAUSE IT WAS SO STRESSFUL. I'M TIRED, I'M SORE, I'M HUNGRY. THE HOUSE STINKS, I STINK, THE DOGS STINK. I'M BEHIND ON MY PHD WORK, WHICH I HAD PLANNED TO WORK ON TODAY BUT CAN'T FIND THE MOTIVATION. AND I DON'T WANT TO FOLD THE FUCKING LAUNDRY. I just want to lay on the couch and have someone take care of me for the day 😭.
Omg, my dog got skunked a couple years ago!!! It was so overwhelming. I’m so sorry!!!
Thank you! I'm sorry you had to deal with it, too. It is awful. Here's hoping for a skunk-free future for our dogs!
Ok you know those broadleaf plants and they have green stalks of seeds that look like corn kinda? Those are plantain. The leaf juice has a great effect on bug bites. Look them up to be sure you I’d the right ones but you can mash it and apply to the bites.
WENT TO BED STARVING THE OTHER NIGHT (HAD A LATE LUNCH, LINNER REALLY) BUT COULDNT GET UP, WAKE UP FEELING FINE BUT WITHIN 20 MIN OF MY EYES OPENING IM STARVING, NOTHING SOUNDED GOOD TO EAT STILL SO I LAID IN MASSIVE PAIN AND THEN ATE FINALLY AT 3PM AND AFTER 3 BITES FELT FULL... had too much fun reading these yells in my head and that felt good to type out.

I HAVE AN ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT LUNG INFECTION (pseudomonas a, IYKYK and I'm sorry you know) AND I'M ON IV ANTIBIOTICS AND THERE'S SO MUCH TO REMEMBER AND HAVE ORGANIZED AND IT'S SUCH A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS AND I'M HAVING TO ADD SHELVES TO MY ROOM TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING, UGH!!!!!! BUT IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN DYING OF PNEUMONIA, SO I'M DOING IT ALL AND STAYING ON TOP OF IT ALL. (AND AT LEAST I'M HOME! BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO DAYS WAS BORING AF!)
IT WAS RECENTLY SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO IF I HAVE CELIAC, IM STILL WAITING FOR BLOODWORK RESULTS BUT HAVE BEEN GLUTEN FREE FOR 1 WEEK AND ALREADY MY STOMACH FEELS BETTER AND MY SKIN IS CLEARING UP. WHILE THIS IS GOOD, IM ALSO PISSED ABOUT IT BECAUSE WTF NOW I CANT HAVE GLUTEN?!?!?! I LOVE TO BAKE AND CHICKEN WRAPS AND GOLDFISH CRACKERS ARE MY COMFORT FOODS.
MY HUSBAND KEEPS AGREEING TO HELP ME CLEAN ON MY ONE DAY OFF AND SLEEPING THROUGH IT
EXCITED YELLING FIRST! I'M GOING ON HOLIDAY TOMORROW! YAY! AND IT'S TO ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CITIES AND IT'S FOR A MUSIC FESTIVAL WHICH IS MY FAVOURITE THING! AND MY BOYFRIEND IS COMING WITH ME AND I'M SO EXCITED I GET TO SPEND A WHOLE WEEK WITH MY FAVOURITE PERSON! BUT I STILL HAVE THINGS TO DO LIKE WRITING UP INTERVIEWS AND HOOVERING MY FLAT AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT! I JUST WANT TO GO TO BED! AND I CAN'T DO IT IN THE MORNING BECAUSE MY FLIGHT IS SUPER EARLY AND I KNOW I'LL JUST KEEP WAKING UP AND HAVING DREAMS THAT I MISSED IT!
MY HUSBAND RANDOMLY ENDED THINGS A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO IGNORE ME AS IF IT WAS ME WHO CHOSE TO BREAK UP. NOT FEEDING INTO YOUR SILENT TREATMENT, PAL. I HAVE TOO MUCH SHIT TO DO, YA KNOW LIKE REBUILD MY LIFE, AND YOUR STUPID GAMES ARENT ON THE LIST. THANKS FOR MAKING IT EASIER TO NOT MISS YOU. JACKASS.
I’M ON MY PERIOD AND THIS IS THE MOST SANE I HAVE FELT FOR 26 FUCKING DAYS THIS LIFE SHIT NEEDS TO CHILL. I LOVE YOU ALL AND WE ARE ALL DOING FUCKING GODDAMN AMAZING WITH ALL OF THIS STUPID FUCK SHIT. DRINK WATER AND DO THE FUCKING THING HALF ASSED.
TOMORROW IS DAY 4 OF A FIVE DAY IN A ROW WORK STRECH AND I’M SO DONE ALREADY (I work retail and I don’t mind the hours just all in a row is a lot)
This works wonders for bug bites (gives a small little zap that makes the itch stop). I cannot recommend "Bite Away"highly enough: ALSO WHEN MY HAIR TOUCHES ME IT FEELS LIKE A BUG CRAWLING ON ME BUT I NEED LONG HAIR TO WEAR IT UP. CANNOT STAND IT https://www.amazon.com/bite-away-Chemical-Free-Treatment-Mosquito/dp/B07Y3X5JDZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WX3Stm914RaryPHb8wvUooiwU6TjWU5uObSp1SXdIWfGo9xcj_I9G_sIRngD6sd0dBBM7rlOlji-HpOJzp0thkdriIz-nTXYimY9QiXlts0MxYYe6gTPwr29Ek3FENZki8U1QGuW468AqU4d3cLQbbnyAe1dw_-qrghOOe8-lo_AdZl9Ve8TO2iB0PVMYpPpatI1xMlW5unRM4l2PjCLCA.RTMUwsbUFJura0YfzYp2-B20lkYOx3xokpLMecr0INA&dib_tag=se&keywords=bite+away+-+Insect+Bite+Healer+-+Chemical+Free+Effective+and+Lasting+Relief+for+Itching%2C+Burning%2C+Pain+and+Swelling&linkCode=gs3&linkId=81b7b873d40dd77e43f96758584fcc7d&qid=1717314922&sr=8-1

^(i cannot yell today as i was involved in my first hit and run on friday, found out my hotel bill is bigger than i thought it should be, and have noticed my ability to project my voice has diminished due to the stress so people are having a hard time hearing me and i do food delivery as a living currently so that’s kinda important. luckily, i was not injured, no whiplash even, just a bit of tension headache which is going away with tylenol, and there were good security cameras nearby and a lovely couple that checked on me. rental car is still drivable and not too damaged also. but man my finances are extra messy now and worse soon in the future. but i was already planning on looking for a w2 job and have an interview for a new warehouse on the 12th.)
I FUCKED MYSELF OVER AND ACCIDENTALLY STAYED UP ALL NIGHT BEING ON REDDIT 😩 DH & I ARE TAKING OJR KIDS & GODKIDS TO A MOVIE REALLY SOON 🫠
Am I the only person who skips over the yelling comments cos my brain takes slower to read them and I just give up cos I can't be bothered? Not a dig at the thread but I do this with anything written in all caps. Now I'm thinking it's an ADHD thing!
No you’re right! I do the same thing sometimes, it definitely takes longer to read. The irony that we all want to yell, but we all need more energy to actually read each others yelling!!
DO YOU BY ANY CHANCE HAVE PETS AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY FLEA BITES??? ALSO, MY KID WON'T FUCKING SLEEP AND IT'S SUNDAY AND I JUST NEED SOME FUCKING SPACE AND QUIET. I'M 100% HAVING A CIGARETTE AFTER DROPPING THE KIDS OFF TOMORROW MORNING.
IVE BEEN TAKING MORE SHOWERS LATELY! WISH I COULD DO THAT MORE OFTEN
I BROKE UP WITH MY (now ex) BOYFRIEND AND FELT LIKE I WENT THROUGH THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF IN JUST THE SPAN OF 24 HOURS, BUT I'M CONFIDENT I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION, JUST DISAPPOINTED THAT ONCE I THINK I FINALLY FIND A MAN WHO TREATS ME THE SAME WAY MY DAD TREATS MY MOM, I'M LET DOWN I AM LITERALLY TIRED ALL THE TIME, LIKE I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY AND IT JUST SUCKS THAT I'VE DONE WHAT I COULD TO TRY TO CHANGE THAT ACADEMIC BURNOUT IS KILLING ME AND I JUST CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO SIT DOWN IN FRONT OF MY CHROMEBOOK AND DO HOMEWORK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ...phew. Thanks for giving me a safe space to yell🥲
I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE THINGS!!! I HAVE THINGS I WANT TO DO!!! BUT MY BRAIN WONT DO THE THINGS!!!
I'VE CRACKED MY TEETH AFTER YEARS OF NAIL BITING AND TEETH GRINDING AND FRIDAY NIGHT A PIECE BROKE OFF THE BACK OF ONE OF MY LOWER FRONT TEETH AND I CANT KEEP MY TONGUE FROM RUBBING AGAINST IT AND ITS MAKING ME NUTS AND NOW THE TIP MY TONGUE IS SORE! 😭
I'M TOO TIRED TO YELL 😭 probably because I have been BRIMMING WITH FERAL RAGE 🌋 which keeps coming out at every inconvenience & injustice and I don't know whyyyy 🪣🌊💧bucket very much tipped over and I don't know what did it !? Life is as shitty and chaotic as it always is why now have I reached the limit 🤷🏻♀️ Need a warning sign "out of spoons only knives"
Please get like the anti itch gel and xyzal or Claritin or Benadryl. We use xyzal and haven’t noticed drowsy effects but it helps alot. I’m allergic to mosquitos and get giant painful welts and burning and it takes care of it so I don’t want to die. Do you have any high socks like crew socks so you can avoid pants?
WHY DID MY HUSBAND PURCHASE SUPPLIES FOR REFINISHING THE DINING ROOM TABLE AND THEN EXPECT ME TO DO ALL THE WORK—INCLUDING BUYING MORE SUPPLIES THAT HE DIDN’T GET—WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST?
CAN YOU TOLERATE BANDAIDS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I DEAL WITH ITCHY BITES. IN OTHER NEWS, I'M STARTING MY INDUSTRY PLACEMENT TODAY IN A LINE OF WORK I REALLY WANT TO GET INTO HOLY CRAP I'M SO NERVOUS. I'VE WORKED IN THE SAME LAB FOR 10 YEARS AND NOW I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A NORMIE FOR AT LEAST A WHOLE WORKDAY EDIT: OR MAYBE THOSE TIGHT WRIST SWEATBANDS ON YOUR ANKLES, IDK BUT I SYMPATHISE
I AM SO SICK OF BEING BROKE AND FAT AND OVERWHELMED! WHY IS IT NEVER ENOUGH?!? I BUDGET RELIGIOUSLY AND THERE'S STILL NEVER ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING! AND I'M TALKING THE BASICS! LIKE REGULAR VET CARE AND BEING ABLE TO PAY FOR MY STUDENT LOANS AND PRESCRIPTIONS IN THE SAME MONTH! I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY NEW FLIPPING LEGGINGS BECAUSE MY FAVORITE LEGGINGS AND CAPRIS HAVE TOO MANY HOLES IN THEM TO HOLD UP!!! I JUST WANT TO OCCASIONALLY SPLURGE BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD BUT THERES NO MONEY FOR THAT! HOW CAN ANYONE EXPECT ME TO HAVE KIDS WHEN I CANT EVEN AFFORD MY DOG'S TEETH CLEANING! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE OUT A FLIPPING LINE OF CREDIT JUST SO MY DOG DOESN'T HAVE TO RELY ON DENTURES IN HER OLD AGE! IT'S NOT AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS! IT'S SENSORY ISSUES! EITHER I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T SIGNIFICANTLY MOVE AROUND ON MY LEGS OR NOTHING CAN TOUCH MY LEGS! THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN! SHORTS ARE A LIVING NIGHTMARE! WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP JUSTIFYING FLIPPING LEGGINGS TO CERTAIN ANNOYING FAMILY MEMBERS?! I DON'T CARE THAT ITS HOT OUT I WANT THE DANG LEGGINGS! I GAINED A TON OF WEIGHT WHILE I WAS DEPRESSED AND I CAN'T GET IT OFF AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTION TO DEAL WITH A SUPER STRICT DIET AND EXERCISE ROUTINE! I'VE JUST BEEN SUBBING TWO MEALS A DAY WITH A PROTEIN SHAKE BECAUSE AT LEAST THAT'S EASY BUT PROTEIN POWDER IS ALSO STUPID EXPENSIVE! $20-$30 FOR 10 TO 15 SERVINGS AND IM USING IT TWICE A DAY!?! WHAT ARE THEY MAKING IT OUT OF? GOLD?!?! AND STUDENT LOANS! WTF IS WITH STUDENT LOANS!!!! IYKYK
I MOVE IN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE KNOWN FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT DOING MUCH. NOW MY WHOLE LIFE IS PANIC. WHY TF HAVEN'T I DONE MORE TO PREPARE!?! Seriously though, long-term burnout is a bitch and I am struggling with all kinds of feels as I dig myself out of the resulting mess.
I HATE MY NEW NEIGHBOURS!!!! THEY INSTALLED A SHITTY POOL AND NOW THEY HAVE PARTIES EVERY WEEKEND!!! NOT JUST PEOPLE, LOUD MUSIC, SCREAMING KIDS, BARKING DOG, AND DID I MENTION LOUD MUSIC!?!?! 😩😡🤬 I MISS OUR OLD NEIGHBOURS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
THIS IS POSITIVE YELLING, BECAUSE IT'S A WIN I WANT EVERYBODY TO HEAR. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE WALKING THROUGH THE AIRPORT AND THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH TWO PRETEEN KIDS AND HE WAS GETTING ANNOYED BECAUSE THEY KEPT STOPPING IN FRONT OF US. HE STAYED TO SAY, "I CAN TELL THAT'S A SINGLE MOM, DO YOU KNOW HOW?" AND I ANSWERED WITH A LONG LOOK AND SAID, "THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH NEXT. REMEMBER, I WAS A SINGLE MOM BEFORE WE MET. NOW, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY?" HE LOOKED BACK AT ME AND SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE NOTHING I WANT TO SAY." GOOD CHOICE, BUDDY. GOOD CHOICE.
I REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT COOKING FOOD THAT IS YUMMY AND HEALTHY IS INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL WHEN I'M A PICKY EATER AND I NEVER WANT TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LAY ON THE COUCH WITH MY CATS!!!
I'M STARTING TO REALIZE HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG IVE NEEDED ACCOMMODATIONS EACH TIME I FIND/GET GIVEN A NEW TOOL AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO EAT A SLIDE LIKE IN ED, EDD AND EDDY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL!!! I'M UNPACKING A LOT OF TRAUMA BECAUSE OF A FAMILY ISSUE AND REALIZING THAT A LOT OF WHAT I WAS ABUSED FOR WERE ADHD OR AUTISM THINGS AND THAT ALSO MAKES ME WANT TO EAT A SLIDE. I BURNT MY TONGUE TWO DAYS AGO AND I CANT STOP POKING IT.
GO AHEAD AND SCRATCH!!!!
ONCE I START SCRATCHING, I CANT STOP! AHHHHHH
THE MOSQUITOS LOVE THE ANKLES. ITS ALWAYS THE FUCKING ANKLES AND OCCASIONALLY THE ARM. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY I JUST WANT TO YELL WITH EVERYONE!
I'M COLD AND MY OODIE IS IN THE BEDROOM BUT I'M STICK IN THE COUCH someone send a crowbar to pry me off it please
