I used to have a big problem with binge eating when I was younger. Now, I find that when I binge, I physically can't fit as much into my stomach as I used to. Honestly, it is both a relief and it also makes me a little sad because...I don't know, I can't totally pig out and stuff myself like I used to be able to do. I often wonder if that happens to other people too. I also get way bad side effects from a binge if I have one now--gas that just about kills me and heartburn for a day.

My brother recently divorced his wife. She's an abusive alcoholic. She's physically and verbally abused him and my niece. She flushed my brother's heart meds. She's been stalking him. She's psycho. My sister just invited this psycho bitch to her daughter's, my eldest niece's, baby shower. "But she's family!" I'm so pissed I can't see straight.

You know what else is God's will? Heart disease. I mean, if God didn't want someone to have heart disease, he wouldn't have given it to them. So, I think we should outlaw bypass surgeries. And medications and such that prevent heart disease, like statins, shouldn't have to be covered by insurance.

My heart breaks for you and for her, OP. To be so young and already starting an abusive cycle. So sad. I know she's an adult and can do as she pleases, but somehow you need to stop her or one day you might be going to her funeral. Or what if they have a child and he starts abusing the child? Ugh, so heartbreaking all around. Hugs.

I'm heartbroken. My DD 19 is going back to her ex that beats on her. I've never been with a man that hits me. I don't understand why she thinks this is a good idea. I keep telling her love is not wanting to see the person you love bleeding and bruised. I don't understand this. I'm scared for her. Everyone we know wants to hurt him, she is in love wtf? She was 100% free. She was going to look into college now she's going to throw it away for a guy that controls everything. I don't get it. :(

Too much "me" and not enough "we" in this country. (USA) It's the root of the problem. Utterly, disgustingly, heartbreakingly selfish people here. A whole lot of them. I, for one, am losing hope for humanity. I told my husband this last weekend that we should have homesteaded in Alaska while we could. Or moved to Iceland.

Poem written in 1869 during the Cholera pandemic by Kathleen O’Mara, and reprinted in the 1919 pandemic.  And people stayed at home And read books And listened And they rested And did exercises And made art and played And learned new ways of being And stopped and listened More deeply Someone meditated, someone prayed Someone met their shadows And people began to think differently And people healed. And in the absence of people who Lived in ignorant ways Dangerous, meaningless and heartless, The earth also began to heal And when the danger ended and People found themselves They grieved for the dead And made new choices And dreamed of new visions And created new ways of living And completely healed the earth Just as they were healed.

My dad accused me of "hiding myself away" yesterday and he is so right. I have hidden away my entire life. I'm scared of everything, I took a work from home job a few years ago so I didn't have to deal with other people, for years before that I just went through job after job never fitting in. I'm in an unhappy relationship I'm too scared to leave (not because he's abusive, just because I fear being lonely.) I am a complete coward, and I don't have the courage or the will to change. I am one of those people that people complain "don't want to help themselves." But I also don't have the courage to end it. I just wish I didn't exist. I feel like a wart attached to this planet and I hope one day soon I just get hit by a car or have a heart attack and die.

On second thought, that's not happening. It's still a really eerie time with Covid and I read about a random gunman shooting in the region I was heading towards. The son hid for 30 days in the wilderness know that his dad as randomly shot. The wife/son's mom is fighting her life in Chemo and they have two kids, too. WTF is wrong with people?! I am so heartbroken by this random attack out in nature....I can't even right now.

I get that break ups are rough, been there many times and have gone through bad heartbreak. But implying that she's going to give up and her dating life is now over, at the ripe young age of 36, just sounds like teen angst.
