I keep saying i cant move on, and then every Saturday my ex pulls up with Milo's blue ramp in the trunk like our old life is still running on schedule. Milo is the elderly mutt we adopted together, and neither of us could stand the idea of one person losing him after the breakup. So we agreed on shared custody. It…
I feel so lost. I don't know myself, or what I want, and I am stuck in a loop that seems to never end. There are so many parts of my life I want to change but don't know how to, and every step forward takes me 10 steps back. I am scared. I am very afraid. I used to be so confident, now I don't think there is someone I…
I cry when angry, which is a stupid body glitch I have had for as long as I can remember. When I am genuinely pissed, my eyes start leaking even if I am not sad, scared, or confused. On Tuesday it happened in a status meeting with my coworker Evan and our manager, Lauren. I went in ready to confront Evan for taking…
So, I just got some real good news from work but I don’t like them. I’ll be going to the office twice per month and the only thought of it makes me fucking anxious and kinda scared. Scared of not being good enough. Scared of feeling insecure. Scared of feeling sad or judged. Scared of feeling awkward or weird if I see…
The bottom line was today when my mother told a security officer my personal info like my ID or my full name while I was there and I could already do it. I’m not a motherfucking child. I was angry and I told her about it but she didn’t care, she told me that she don’t want to discuss or grumble. It’s always the same…
I don't know how to start this so I'll just say what happened. Last Friday my sister put on one of those rom coms where the guy finally shows up at the airport, and I cried. Not a little. The kind where you have to pretend you're getting water. I'm a 24 year old guy who has watched every action movie ever made without…
i keep typing "how to deal with a narcissistic father?" into my phone at 2:17 a.m. because apparently sleep is less urgent than figuring out why my dad sabotaged a job and called it parenting. i'm still living in his house, using the shared family email because he insisted all "important paperwork" should stay…
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…
