Just finished an interview yesterday for a Seasonal Team Associate position in a Bloomingdales outlet. You might be asking why am I telling you this?
The reason: Just realized I (M24) don't want to be in my current job any longer. That one certain day (a week ago - November 3rd) was a wake-up call for me to find…
I keep sitting here thinking, whats clingy? The person I have been dating keeps going silent for three days, then popping back up with some dumb meme like nothing happened. When I finally asked why they vanish, they said I was getting clingy. Clingy how??? Because wanting a basic reply is apparently a massive burden…
i am crying in my car behind my dad's apartment building, with the grocery receipt stuck to my sleeve and the heater blowing cold air at my shoes. My younger brother called while I was carrying in Dad's milk and said he had just paid $486 to stop the electricity from being disconnected. I thought my brother was asking…
Tell me I'm not wrong in wanting to put in a complaint about how long I have to wait for physio .I final have a date for physio but it's not until 28 of October next year and I'm still really struggling with my knee and it's started to effect my mental health now.
I’m honestly so stressed right now, like 24/7. I have exams and school all the time, and it’s never been this bad before. I feel completely overwhelmed with everything.
I have a maths test tomorrow and I can barely calm down enough to look through everything again. I feel more stressed than I’ve ever felt, and…
the part that keeps bothering me is my siblings judging me for every small thing i buy now that i have stopped covering their bills. for a long time, my brother Nate would send me the electric shutoff notice, and my sister Kara would ask whether i could float her phone payment or a rent shortfall. i usually paid…
i have stayed weirdly composed while clearing out my late mother's apartment for three weeks. my cousins keep calling me efficient because i can fold her sweaters, label donation bags, and speak to the landlord without making a scene. right now the plain sentence in my head is, I feel like crying, and it is…
I work at a small neighborhood bakery where the counter, espresso bar, and online order station are packed into the same narrow space. What is wearing me down is the owner yelling at me whenever the online order tablet chimes. For the past two weeks, he has acted like every sound means I ignored a paid ticket. At 6:10…
During an office move last Friday afternoon, I opened a locked cabinet that had not been touched since our finance team changed floors. Inside was Elena's farewell card, bent under a stack of vendor contracts, with blue balloons on the cover and signatures from our department. Elena left our finance team six years…
I keep typing insecurity in relationship into search bars like the search results are gonna tell me why I am acting like this. My boyfriend Evan has never cheated, never hidden some secret girlfriend, and never given me a clear reason to distrust him. This whole mess started with his running app. I am losing my mind…
at this point, I need to vent because my apartment has become the family event venue by default. apparently, being the only adult sibling without children means my home has unlimited capacity, no scheduling requirements, and a complimentary cleanup crew, namely me. nobody says this outright, but every invitation they…

I joined a group of women who work as communicators within the system. I feel somewhat exhausted by the task—a role I took on because one of the women wanted me by her side. I think she wanted someone to share her conversations and experiences with, so she wouldn’t feel alone among a group of women whose lives are…
I keep typing "how do i stop thinking?" into my notes app and then deleting it because the whole thing sounds ridiculous when I see it written down. At 6:10 p.m., I was standing inside a packed train near the center doors, holding a paper bag with soup leaking through the bottom. A woman beside me, maybe around my…
For the past three months, I have been carrying my dad's appointment folder to clinics, covering Maya's shifts at the store, and trying to make my apartment livable after the upstairs pipe burst. I keep doing the next obvious thing, yet the question in my head is why life is so hard? A cardiology visit, a closing…
