Hey, everyone! So here's the deal: it's my brother's birthday soon and I just can't put into words what I'm feeling right now. We've had a wild year together (ups, downs, sideways turns) you name it. Anyway, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to write him a birthday message that really encapsulates everything…
so I went to this family reunion and it was supposed to be chill, right? but then my parents decided it was story time!!! like seriously, who needs to know about the time i peed my pants in kindergarten?! i'm sitting there dying and my partner's right next to me trying not to laugh (or maybe die from awkardness). this…
Experiencing anxiety chills can be quite disruptive, especially in professional settings. During critical work meetings where I am tasked with presenting in front of the team, I often find myself overtaken by intense chills whenever my anxiety reaches its peak. This physiological response not only causes embarrassment…
I don't feel like writing much, because it will be problematic later, very unstable. When I leave, I don't know if I'll be able to carry this sense of coherence there, wherever I am, to manage myself as if I were here, calm, relaxed, at the mercy of all the available services, as I should have outside. Outside…
Personally, at this point, I'm not interested in my boss, his ideals, his principles, or anything like that. I don't care, I shouldn't care, and I never should have. I should never have trusted him in the first place, or taken a chance on him; that was a huge mistake. Encountering such a reckless, rule-breaker…
Couldn't imagine myself being here on a platform to vent about my frustrations and feelings but there's no one I feel safe with venting about this. So here I go. My wife and I have been known each other and been together for 8+ years. She was living with her sister for a few years prior to me moving in. I've met her…
You know, there's this saying or belief that when you can't sleep at night, it's because someone else is thinking about you. I've always found that idea so comforting and a bit whimsical 🤗🥰. When I was younger, my dear grandmother used to say this to me whenever I had trouble falling asleep. It made sleepless nights…
i'm 21, a woman who's just stepped into what should be an exhilarating time in life. i've begun dating someone wonderful, genuinely a nice guy who seems to have all the attributes one could wish for. everything around me suggests happiness but i'm puzzled by this inexplicable inclination towards sadness. it's as if…
I can no longer calmly pick up my phone to reconnect it, because then it starts to drain quickly. I feel like going out is a problem because then they might put me in the water, and I won't be there, and consequently, I'll find that no more water will come in for the rest of the week. I can't even express my problems…
Man, I'm so stressed about this whole potential layoff situation at work. It's like my job's hanging by a thread, and that giant corporate ax is just ready to drop. I've been in this industry long enough to know the signs, but honestly? This feels different. Seriously, my throat feels tight all the time... like I…
So, I've been sittin' here for a while try'na wrap my head around this whole mess. Like most guys, I thought I had it all figured out, you know? I'm 43, got a decent job and yeah, married to someone I thought was my partner in crime. But two months back... man, found out she'd been cheatin' on me for THREE freakin'…
To give some context, I think this feeling has been stuck with me for a long time. Three years ago, I ended a relationship that was very important to me, and since then, I’ve noticed that I compare almost everyone I meet to my ex. I know this is something I need to work on because I don’t want to see every new person…
Dealing with passive aggressive people in the workplace is like dancing on eggshells. You never really know when you're going to step wrong and crack one open, revealing underlying tensions and frustrations. My new manager, let's call him 'Tim,' is the epitome of passive aggression. Every interaction is a carefully…
why do i feel like everyone is against me? 🤔 that's the burning question that keeps haunting my thoughts these days. it's been two months since i joined this new job, and honestly, i thought things were going pretty well (at least that's what i assumed). i'm as fast-paced and efficient as they come (not to toot my…
