i wish i died in pandemic Anonymous 133917[Reply]

I honestly can't handle life after a while being a neet.
Before that I was a normie that went to uni, made her chores and kind of behave with my family and society.
Nowadays
>I forgot easily making simple chores I've got ask for
>My mood is a disaster
>My coping mechanisms are a disaster
>Tried killing myself 3 times I think
>Self harm when I get angry
>I dropped uni, went again and im struggling with finals
>My family and I can't stand each other anymore.
>Only feel okay when I'm on the phone, drawing stupid shit or having sex with bf or jerk off
Im.not the person I used to be, I feel I can't be that person again and I wish I was dead.

Yes. I can't believe how old I am now. 2019 hs grad and I feel so behind in life. Many things that were meant to happen to me were delayed. I feel like people who are younger are more experienced and I realized its because I actually couldn't learn things I was meant to because I was stuck inside. I mean, I couldn't go out on my 21st birthday to drink ffs so I'm learning that stuff in my mid 20s and I feel like a jackass.

Sounds like life will pick up for you again the moment you get a job or have less of that sort of idle time.
Uni sometimes feel like the wrong kind of busy, specially these days where you don't even know if that degree will account for something.

keep wanting him while having a boyfriend Anonymous 133677[Reply]

I have a bf but I keep thinking about a past guy. We were good friends and both liked eachother. But eventually drifted apart. I frequently thought about him.

2 months into my current relationship we coincidentally had contact. it felt so good, we talked for a couple of days. there was always so much unspokenness between us so then i texted him: i want to be honest with you, i used to like you and it was good to talk to you again but i think its better to let go now and not talk to eachother anymore. I didn't mention my boyfriend.

we had a good last conversation and he said he respects my decision and he regrets not having asked me out, and that it'll be difficult for him to let go but he's glad we're on good terms.

but still (2 months later) we keep having these small interactions on social media. i can tell he is still paying attention to me and i am also to him. I check his profiles every fucking day. Sometimes even while I'm with my bf. He doesn't know i have a boyfriend now. I think that would hurt him and he'd feel deceived. It's my responsibility but i also keep seeking out interactions with him and make it clear i still think about him. I look forward to like texting him next year to ask how he's doing.

i just feel so shitty. i know i should probably remove him from socials to minimize this and move on. but I don't. I want to hold the door open. It feels so good thinking back to us and fantasizing about what could've been. Our chemistry was so insane and talking with him felt good in so many ways. He's also really funny and I feel like there's more I like about him than my boyfriend for example. And yet I love my boyfriend fully for who he is and i want to spend my life with him. part of it might also be that i feel like im a difficult person to love and my boyfriend is so supportive and i don't think i'll find that in other guys. I'm scared that if i were to pursue somethign with the guy it'd fall apart or something or it'd be like i deceived him because i have so many issues. then again i also had those thoughts with my current boyfriend- and despite my worries we turned out really well.

my bf is so patient with me and understanding and loves me so much. its not like he's treaating me wrong and i'm missing something in the relationship… i just suck

I wish my bf would break up with me or something.. so i could have an excuse to pursue the other guy. But I know that won't happen. idk whaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

thank u all for the replies. I want to elaborate it's not that i'm idealizing the guy. we were friends for a while and I started to fall in love with everything i got to know about him. For me new people aren't 'enticing' at all because I want a connection before anything else. In my opinion friends to lovers is the way to go. That's why it's difficult with him because we already have a history and I know him. And truthfully his qualities resonate more with me than the ones my boyfriend has.

>>133681
your comment brought me back to reality. You're right it's crazy to think about breaking up for someone who isn't even clearly communicating with me. When we had the conversation he showed regret not being more direct with me and asking me out. But he still isn't doing that- maybe because I told him i didn't want anything more. Then again, I also said he could always text me if something was up. So he knows he could ask me. Instead he is making playlists with my name on spotify and telling me in the description to reach out to him. I won't interact w that anymore. If he actually were to communicate w me I'll say I'm in a relationship now.

thank u nonas <3

i feel the same abt a bf ive had for like 6 months, idk why. ive had the same experience, the guys nice respectful super chill, we recently had a nice chill conversation about life and stuff. idk why i want him aswell. i wish my bf would breakup with me but i also dont i want both at the same time

Anonymous 133925

hi i can see the future! here's what's in the cards for you:
>keep stringing bf along
>keep entertaining other guy
>interest in bf keeps decreasing
>he gives you the ick by now
>break up
>hook up with other guy
>he doesn't know you had a bf all along
>omgwtfdoido
>you lie
>he finds out
>breaks up with you
>now you have zero (0) bfs

that's rough, if only there was a way to avoid it…

disowning my entire family because they are extreme trads. advice? Anonymous 133684[Reply]

My family, including extended family, is extremely trad. Beliefs vary a little bit but for the most part women shouldn't go to college or vote, premarital sex is evil, dating around is evil, and not having kids makes you a whore. They're like christian jihadists essentially.

"Women's rights" wise my parents were actually better than my extended family because they wanted me to be educated and to work, they just wouldn't pay for any college. (They paid for my brother, lol). But my parents fucked it up for themselves because they beat me really bad and started calling me a whore the moment I got my period. Real Carrie shit. I still have an eating disorder because I was mostly fed their leftovers and just never developed an appetite. Just real bizarre shit. My point is, I have no familial ties to any of these people. Like they're just nothing to me.

My main obstacle is getting a job that pays enough. I'm on medicaid and am getting psychiatric help but it might be a long road to normalcy. I had a full time job once and had a nervous break that stopped me from sleeping for five days. I'm really scared to go back to work after that but I've tried a few part time jobs and gig work since then and I found a few things that I could cope with I think.

My main fear is that they come looking for me and start a lot of drama. Does anyone else have experience with this? Are they allowed to just stalk you in the USA if you're related to them?

help i don’t know if this is the wrong place to ask this or if this is gross and tmi but like i genuinely dont know if this normal
so everytime i masturbate by penetration i pee… is that fucking normal ive looked everywhere and it said that it’s just squirting but i don’t know if it’s actually that and i’m fucking scared that if i get boyfriend and we have sex i’ll fucking piss on him

Anonymous 132319

Yes—this can be normal.

During penetration or strong arousal, the muscles that control urination can relax, and pressure from the movement can stimulate the bladder. Some people also notice a little urine (or “leakage”) especially with deeper penetration, certain positions, a full bladder, or intense stimulation.

What helps:

Try peeing beforehand.
Use a position that gives you more control over depth/pressure (or stop and adjust if you feel it happening).
Place a towel on the area to reduce stress.
If you do pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), many people find they reduce leakage over time.

When to get checked:

Burning/pain, strong urgency, foul-smelling urine, blood, fever (possible infection).
Wetting that happens often even when you’re not aroused or pressure is minimal.
Trouble holding urine, or new leakage after a change (e.g., childbirth, surgery).

I'm ugly. I'm overweight. I'm extremely socially anxious and autistic, which is why I haven't had a single friend in almost ten years. I lack hygiene, I'm incredibly insecure and feel the need to kill myself when I have to think of my pathetic existence. Nothing is fun to me because I cannot concentrate for the life of me. I have tried to change my life multiple times but I cannot stick with it. Instead, my body keeps being pulled in to bed and my fate is probably to rot here forever.
Only reason I haven't killed myself yet is because I'm still young, only 20, so I am hoping for a miracle… Advice would be very appreciated. If there is any at this point.

>My next therapist used 'talking therapy' which involved me getting things off my chest, then they would give their professional feedback on thought patterns or behaviours.
That does sound helpful, and even though I didn't go to therapy because of childhood trauma, I wish mine was like that too. I wish she would give her professional insights on my problems but instead, she just invalidates every single one of mine. I tell her I have issues with masking constantly since I was a child, and her response to these kinds of things is "No, you don't seem to have that problem"?? It's like going to the doctor because your knee hurts, and they just tell you "No, your knee doesn't hurt. I think you're just imagining the pain!" She also told me that I cannot be autistic because my of my good ability read and write, and because I can feel emotions (I thought she was kidding me but no). What she probably meant was that I cannot be autistic because I'm a woman lol.
>there are extroverted nice people who like the same things you do and will make the effort to connect - so please don't hide from them :)
Well that sounds encouraging, I have met extroverts before who were very kind to me, I guess they liked that I'm quiet because that gave them more space to talk hah. I think I will try to attend such meeting, and if it sucked, I won't have to see the people ever again.

I'm really sorry about that, but I am positive that we can make it out of it. As you have said, you were able to pull yourself out before a couple of times. Also I think it helps to hear of other nonas who went through the same and got better eventually. I think putting in a bunch of effort is worth a try, no matter how hard it will be.

Hmm, I have heard of obese people being prescribed stimulants such as vyvanse for weightloss since it suppresses your hunger a lot… Maybe make him aware of that. You'd solve two problems at once.

I have crazy but lowkey useful advice.

what i did was get an adhd diagnosis which is honestly really easy like anyone can lowk larp it. i mainly kept asking my therapist abt why its so hard to focus and stuff over and over and kept explaining my adhd symptoms so i could get adhd meds to lose weight, and i got it to a high dose so now i lowk feel happy on the adhd pill and stuff. so like it helps with weight cause u lose the urge to binge. stimulants help with it. us ND girls are more prone to binging cause we're trying to get dopamine. when you are skinnier u feel prettier 100%. thats the first step to it.

Leave abusive husband or Stay to protect baby? Anonymous 133766[Reply]

Fuck guys idk where to start. Yeah. He switched up when I got pregnant and isolated me hard. Financial abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, some quasi-physical abuse (corning me in a room and flexing his fists for one, punched walls, doesn't let me leave a room or the home while he bearates me.) He's lost his temper with baby before too, slapped, screamed insults, yells if she does something that annoys or bothers him.
I have c-PTSD (diagnosed after I went to a women's shelter, from this relationship and the previous one) and Asperger's, but I've done a lot of counseling and reading on communication and in the beginning of the relationship was quite good at it, but the moment he starts the word twisting, taking everything as an attack, blaming me for it, insulting my character, all the DARVO shit, I lose it and have meltdowns.
He was arrested, but his colleagues (he's a cop) protected him, and then he had been threatening me for months about this specific scenario and I fucked up massively by lying and hiding what he's done to get the charges dropped.
He lacks empathy entirely, and I'm not sure he feels any emotions other than anger, and he thinks it's justified to act out that anger however he pleases. He thinks hitting kids, shaming them, yelling at them - even newborns and toddlers (mine is 1.5yo) is important and how you get them to behave. I am more a "natural consequence" and empathetic "home is a place of understanding and valuing each other as individuals" parent.

I feel really fucking stuck.
He has many advantages in court because of his career, he's very manipulative and lies well, brags about it. He will take my baby from me if I leave, he's very vindictive. Even just an overnight stay a week I feel panicked, what if he smacks her or screams at her again, and she can't tell me because she can't talk?

So I am torn - I leave, to protect myself, potentially leaving my baby open to the same emotional abuse.
Or I stay and try to play nice/lay low until she is old enough or until work transfers him too far away to see her, so that I can be there to protect her.
If I'm there, he does essentially no parenting, unless he thinks I'm leaving him, and then all of a sudden he's the most fun and hands-on dad…

Idrk what I'm asking sorry, my mind's all fucked and I don't have any close friends, or family.

Because in cases of abuse the abused is often not in the right mindset to prepare and compile evidence.

He, and some others, have recently revealed that he's been covertly starting a smear campaign against me, including embellishing and outright lying about things I've done or not done, making up a postpartum psychosis diagnosis, all while leaving out his and downplaying his own actions and accusing me of "collecting evidence" to "make him out to be an abuser and take everything from him."

you do not have close friends but you do have friends right? even acquaintances. please, i am begging you, talk about this to a woman you know, ANY woman you know. that is not related to him, to help you

Ask your parents for help

your extended family

anyone you have
anyone you can trust
your therapist(if you have one)


for him deleting stuff: use your own phone, change all passwords (if necessary) and always keep your phone on yourself. never ever let it get away. sleep with it in your pockets or panties. use cloud storage. try aes encryption if necessary


make a document. make a timeline of events. add proof if possible. photos. videos. urls. anything. ask a friend for help and if none use ai to reorder the document if necessary.

I cannot be normal around my mother Anonymous 133385[Reply]

Looking for advice and the possible reason for this. A couple years ago, I lost a couple family members including my father through an accident which led me to isolate, losing the ability to socialize properly, but after some therapy I was able to make a lot of new friends, now I can easily make friends and go out. My problem is, I act completely different infront of my friends/relationships compared to my mother. I go into a small shell, she has never been abusive but incredibly supportive of my journey but this really gets to me because she probably things I am genuinely retarded when I am actually a big socialite and I can look into other peoples faces and hold good conversation, good posture, hygiene, etc. It's like I see her as a caregiver.. I don't know why I do this because it really makes me look really weak in front of my family. What can I do to become more normal and functioning around my mother that I can do with my friends?

What I should do? Anonymous 133790[Reply]

I don’t know where else to post this. I’m not gonna lie, I do care who sees this and there’s a good chance I’ll get banned for posting this shit.:/ I’m 18 and asexual. (Ironic, considering what I’m about to tell you.)
When I was 10 and my half-sister was 18, she showed me an 18+ game (Summertime Saga or some shi). I masturbated for two years because of that shit until I stopped for five years idk why. My sister never touched me but now I’m disgusted by her. I don’t want to see her not even in pictures and I don’t know if I should tell my dad about this. I doubt he’d care but I feel like I should tell him. I don’t talk to my sister anymore, but knowing what she’s like, I know she’ll try to talk to me again at some point. I don’t want that.

She did something gross and irresponsible, it's certainly fair to hate her.
Why do you feel that your father wouldn't care? Does he or your family in general not take this stuff seriously? A lot of people unfortunately don't treat childhood porn exposure as the serious form of sexual abuse that it is.
