Moving out today! Ironically, my relationship with landlord has been great recently. We chatted a lot yesterday and gave some blankets to a homeless man in our area. She even shared really sad stories about how hard her life has been. I have more compassion for her now. Doesn't excuse the way she treated me at times, but I can understand her more now. Glad I'm leaving on good note with no anger.

Maybe you need to STFU!

Juice isn't really any better than soda. It has about the same amount of calories and sugar. Maybe you shouldn't be giving out health and nutrition advice if you don't know that.

When I go out to eat I'll never understand adults who get soda instead of coffee, juice, or milk with their breakfast. Just gross IMO. It's even worse when people let their kids drink soda with breakfast. Then wonder why some kids are beefy.

(P1/2)There is some serious bullshit going on in my friend group. B and I are both going through the emotional wringer. He knows that I dealing with panic attacks around COVID, and that I don't want to see him for several days anytime he is among a large group of people indoors for fear of being triggered. He went on a plane a few months ago, and then had a meltdown when I didn't want to see him right after, which then caused me to have a panic attack. We are just getting past that now. Well, I saw him several times in the past week, every time asking him how he is doing, what he is up to, even asking if he could come over on Sunday (he said he was busy) or if I could deliver cookies on Monday (no thanks!). Then I found out through a mutual friend he was busy flying across the US and back!

(P2/2) So when he texted me tonight, I told him I was really hurt that he would try to hide that from me. He now has another friend involved, who is trying to tell me "he thought you knew". Really? That is why he never mentioned it? Even I asked? Twice?! And I can think of several nice reasons he didn't tell me (like, he was trying to protect me emotionally), but apparently he is going to just try to lie his way through this. The mutual friend is is asking if I'm ok, and I am really tempted to tell her in great detail my side of the story, but I don't have the emotional energy for this level of drama. I'm going to try to just let this go, but I don't see me trusting B anytime soon. He really isn't an ass, he is just acting like one this week.

I'm failing my 12yo and I don't know what to do. I'm panicking. I look just like my mother and I'm terrified I'm behaving like her and it's causing me to spiral. Ds12 is so socially awkward and his "friends" clearly just put up with him because he won't go away and he can't see it. He's just like I was at that age. I don't know what to do because I never outgrew it. I just learned not to talk to people. They make fun of him and are rude and I don't know what to do. He doesn't come to me, he hides things, I've tried so hard not to be her and here I am, failing. I wish I could just disappear.

My life is going really good, for once. I don't know how to cope. I'm going back to therapy. I'm faking it right now. I feel like an imposter. Pulled together, good job, money. But I'm still just a mess in survival mode. I want to drink so bad.

At nearly 70 years old, you're still out here creating drama where it doesn't exist, everything revolves around you, and there's always a pity party happening. I'm not attending anymore to this BS. I realized I was feeding into her drama by adding a negative or positive focus to her dramatic stories. No freakin' more, I've had enough the last 6 difficult months. I am taking my power back! I am not giving you anymore of my time or energy.
