Me: "6 is feeling under the weather, I think I'm going to take him to the doctor." H:"you're overreacting, just let it run its course, he's fine." Then me: "6 is complaining of not feeling well, but I think I'm going to wait a couple of days to see if it's really bad." H: "oh my gosh, how dare you not immediately make an appointment?? What if something is seriousy wrong?! Why are you such a loser parent?" Im tired of having to justify my parenting to the only person on earth that should be my teammate.

My H(33), just found out his sister (19) is dating a 45yo man. H keeps threatening to go find this dude and well, you get the picture. But IDK what he thinks he can do! She's technically an adult, living on her own, her parents have not been there for her since she was 8. I really feel like shes trying to fix her daddy issues with an older man. It's extremely concerning, but what can you even do about it? We don't even know this guy or where they live, and my inlaws refuse to get involved or tell her that she could be unsafe.

Ok, I’m m going to start wearing my mask again. It is May 19, 2022. This monkeypox business seems to be intent in getting media traction.

Replying to cocopop, no there's nobody. My husband thinks therapy is a waste of money. My mom is an emotionally abusive narcissist and my dad died last year. My siblings are far away or irresponsible and i have no friends. I'm really bad at making friends. I'm looking into online therapy options anyway. I can't afford to stay like this and i don't really know what to do.

Please don't end your life. Your life doesn't need to be perfect to be worth living. Please stay here and keep posting. You can talk to us!

I'm struggling with the decision of whether or not to end my life. I'm morbidly obese with a slew of other health problems. I chose poorly in a spouse. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs. I just don't see things getting any better for me.

I feel like everything is falling apart. I am always ahead, perfectly planned and ready for everything. Trauma response hyper vigilance i think. Lately it's broken. I can't think, forget everything, i even left the booster seat and my wallet at home the other day. I forgot we had a soccer game, haven't cleaned in a month. I don't know what's wrong with me.

It's mentally exhausting living every day knowing that literally nobody cares what I have to say. It gets to the point sometimes where I'm actually interrupted mid-sentence by someone telling me they don't want to hear what I'm saying. It hurts. It hurts having nobody to talk to. Nobody cares what I'm saying because nobody knows what I'm talking about. I have odd hobbies and interests. My job is also odd and I work alone. People think my job is boring and don't want to hear about that either. I guess I'm just lonely.

Do me a favour, mom. Don't ask me if I'm okay because I look so tired and pale if you don't want the reply, "no actually, I spent the entire morning crying because I was suffering a depressive episode."

Ever have one of those days where everyone/everything irritates the shit out of you? Yeah, having one of those. DD17 is driving me nuts because she discovered she has not used as many school absences as she thought, so she's basically making up reasons why she can't go to school. Someone at work, who is normally great, is being frustratingly dense - got an email last week saying request for XYZ has been submitted. Asked for the ticket number (one is automatically generated when a request is made). Says there is no ticket number. Asked if the request was submitted, how is there no ticket number? Crickets. Still waiting for a response. Getting a message from the bank that they need to verify it's me b/c I'm logging in with a new device. Same computer I've had for years. Annoying. Even more annoying is that those texts only go to my DH, even though it's a joint account. And, of course, DH isn't checking his texts to send me that code. Ugh, Going to lose my shit.
