Re: wishing like the end of my natural life would just hurry up (triggering maybe?)

I feel the same. I just want to outlive my dog. I'm sure you want to live for your daughter. I'm 57. I don't want to live a long life either. My younger sister died over a year ago at 53 and she...

Re: High sex drive?

Are you in your 20s? 30s? I was that way when I was younger. I think it’s perfectly normal. It changes with age. I understand no privacy but where are you seeing your partner? You mentioned having...

Re: wishing like the end of my natural life would just hurry up (triggering maybe?)

Relatable. I'm simultaneously floored and amazed I'm still alive.

What would need to change for you to want to live (aside from the obvious "not be mentally ill")? Can you reasonably work towards...

Re: wishing like the end of my natural life would just hurry up (triggering maybe?)

I can relate to the feeling of things maybe not getting better. I've been depressed since 2017 and I've tried different meds and therapy.

But for some reason I hold on to the hope that things...

Not sure if this is a trigger, but just in case:

I'm 46, and I've been dealing with mental health issues since I was 20. On the gamut of psych meds since then. In and out of therapy. I don't...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I mean, I like to think that I can swim the channel or write a great a novel or enjoy a glass of wine without drinking a bottle or relax in other people's company. Doesn't mean that translates into...

Re: I've been told I'm like never satisfied or something like that

I think this current funk is because I keep throwing up my psych meds every 2 days. Like I feel totally fine today and its because I kept my lamictal down last night for the first time in 2 days.

Differences in mindset once you're not poor anymore

For those who do struggle with poverty, I'm very sorry you're going through that. I have no advice, but I hope the best for you. Rest assured that although I am now middle class, I am not superior to...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Yes, exactly. I even said something about something the size of a grain of rice. It feels like if he won't even accept something tiny from me, it's about me, not the item.

Oh, and I didn't share...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

This also reminds me of my own issue of trying to be small. For me, if I'm small enough, maybe then they'd accept me. I personally do this ALL the time.

Your smaller fish reminded me of that....
