    Occasionally I like myself and the things that make me me. Like right now I am listening to hard rock, Moth by HELLYEAH (fantastic song). I just had a dinner of terriyaki veggie and rice stir fry. I am wearing comfy clothes that are somewhat flattering with earrings that are vintage pumpkins...

    Ya definitely affected and it sucks but it is what it is. I just wish some people approached things differently.

    Well dipped my toe in but backed away right away because frankly it’s triggering. When someone doesn’t even bother to take the time to listen to someone else, it brings up allllll of those feelings of being consistently unheard and not believed. It sucks that it seems to still trigger me. I...

    Other My dad is pissing me off (Leftist content, conservatives and libertarians DO NOT INTERACT)

    Hopefully one day you’ll understand what I was trying to say. But for now, have a nice life and understand that everyone (probably excluding the top politicians on all sides) are just doing their best with what they know.

    Other My dad is pissing me off (Leftist content, conservatives and libertarians DO NOT INTERACT)

    Considering those on the left have and do just as much damage to all of the groups you have mentioned, I think of it like this: The parties are two divorced parents whose primary concern is to one up each other or stick it to each other. They want to be the kids (us) favorite while it benefits...

    Other My dad is pissing me off (Leftist content, conservatives and libertarians DO NOT INTERACT)

    As a pretty left wing person myself who grew up in a pretty right wing area- no this is not what it means. I’m not going to fight you. But please take a breath and a moment to reevaluate how you perceive people and why they may have the policies or beliefs they do.

    My self control is waning. I really, really, really want to reply to a certain thread that it was actually a Democrat (USA) that raped me. Just to see how it flusters them. I won’t, I’ll respect the bounds. But it’s very irritating to have someone go so hardcore with all that vitriol while...

    Nostalgia is strong tonight. There’s these moments where I just want to bundle up in sweatshirts and blankets and wake up to a time before. It wasn’t a perfect time, nowhere near it. But I would change so many of the choices I made. I would appreciate so much more of what I didn’t understand...

    So this weird ass dream. There’s this art gallery or similar that is starting up in this town. She has the town submit various things for consideration and everyone has to come watch a play at the end, the play is meant to be Beauty and the Beast. I submitted photos, paintings, writings, a...

    Yuuup I’m the queen of awkward. I’d really like to hand in that title and just be normal for once.

    This is why I can’t make friends. Dude, a coworker I’ve met in passing ish twice, came in tonight with his girlfriend to see Chick (another coworker) cause he thought she was working. They brought Taco Bell and when he realized she wasn’t here, he asked if they could eat in the breakfast area...

    Give Me All Your Tools For Anxiety

    Weirdly, yes. If a thing happens I can move on from it easier than the almost for some reason. For the most part anyway. It’s like there is a closure then. Universal. If I don’t triple check that I’ve got my keys in hand or left the car door unlocked, panic starts creeping in at thought of...

    Give Me All Your Tools For Anxiety

    I have some but I feel like there’s got to be more out there. My particular issue is I have no idea how a thing can happen in a place (or almost happen) and people can move on during or right after without a thought. It’s like they don’t give the situation the gravitas it deserves. But I know...

    What drives copycats/fakes?

    Primary on my mind is school shooters because we’ve got a threat at my school today. 99% sure it’s completely fake. I understand the motivations of a lot of actual perpetrators, to a point anyway. But I don’t understand the inevitable string of copycats and fakes that happen after each real...

    Appropriate Amounts of Emotion

    Sometimes I’m a masochist and do some research into history. Or, like tonight I come across a very interesting Reddit thread of history that was too informative and incredible to pass up. But it contained an exorbitant amount of accounts of humans being worse than human. The most vile nightmare...

    Working with a Therapist-in-Training ... Bad Idea??

    My therapist with the least experience and training was far more helpful and open to understanding the complexities of my stuff than the ones I saw who were well into their careers and “specialized”.

    I had a similar experience. I had a couple of grandparents that had had cancer but I had never met them and so it didn’t really click for me. Everyone else around me for the longest time were affected by heart disease, diabetes, strokes, etc, but rarely cancer. But in the last like 4 ish...

    You know the saying “Don’t ever meet your heroes”? Or however it’s phrased- add (auto)biographies to that too. I don’t love the people I used to anymore.
