- I have not spent Thanksgiving with my family in some years, but there is a good chance that I will this year. In these past years, I've spent it with some friends. This year, one of our friends' mom's was in the hospital, so they are not doing...
- I may have talked about this friend/friends here before. It used to be that I did not have friends, and was lonely, I was the codependent one, who was probably burning other people out. After I learned how to stop over-relying on other people and...
- Not sure how to make a long story short here. I am on my own with limited support. I have some friends, which are great, but the situation with the family is bad. The history is that there has been a lot of domestic violence perpetuated against...
- About eight years ago I started hanging out quite a bit with a large group of people that I met through my former workplace. I did a lot of things with them, weekends, holidays. Then, back in 2017, I was on the invite list for a big Christmas...
- I used to be a part of a support group for a very long time that folded. I guess I'm glad it's over because it was not so great toward the end. The aftercare at IOP is about an hour from my house and very difficult to get to, so that's not...
- So I am almost ready to get my master's degree, I will be done in two months. For the last year, I've been subsititute teaching. In this past Fall semester, it's been harder than ever. I'm not sure why. I used to teach full time, maybe it was...
- I feel slightly guilty but I have a group of friends that have been a little toxic. I feel like I'm inundated in the group chat, which is frequently political. I ended up blocking everyone's number just to get a break. I just don't need to be...
- A lot of life has been getting by. I think at a certain financial or social status that is the case for many people.It's good to have to strive, but to have certain things be impossible or out of reach is depression-inducing. Ok I will try not...
- I had a therapist about a year and a half ago that I really liked. She worked really well for me, we connected and I feel that she was really competent. The insurance dropped her. Since then it's been hit or miss, really difficult to find...
- I had posted a couple of times about being stood up in a casual relationship. I had the opportunity lastnight to practice boundaries, an issue for me. I was stood up over labor day weekend by a lover, if you want to call it that. It hit me...
- So much of my life and relationships have been going through changes. Unless I am just completely paranoid, and I may be, I don't know. I find that many if not almost all of the people in my life have ulterior motives, and appear to have values...
- I'm working a lot in therapy on boundaries, etc. One of the things that I am working on is having my own life, not having codependency issues with others, where people are super dependent on me and vice-versa. Included with that has been putting...
- IDK, sometimes I think I have too much drama in my life. I really try to keep that to a minimum. It was a long week of work and school, and I was really looking forward to going to one of my low key meetups that I don't get to all that often,...
- I had posted here last Saturday about how I was effectively ghosted over the weekend. There were tentative plans, but he told me last Thursday that he would get in touch with me on Friday to follow up on plans. Friday came and went and there was...
- So I haven't dated much after the pandemic and did not have intimate relationship since early 2020. The lockdown, breakup and everything was just too much. I felt numb like I was not able to be interested in anyone.About a month ago I met a guy...
