Happy(n't) ? How should I be feeling ? | I've been lonely for 2 years now, and took great enjoyment out of it. I have learnt so much from being alone, it became eye-opening: I changed virtually everything about myself: My style, I became more athletic, I got a great job which I enjoy throughly and so on. Most friends tell me I'm unrecognisable, even though th... | 1 |
Felt like shit..went to visit family and feeling worse | I woke up feeling badly since yesterday. Like a depressive episode hitting me. I went to travel to see my mom and brother for an almost 4 hours journey. It was okay except they left me waiting for 30 minutes at the station. Later on my mother commented how much weight I gained how I need to lose weight. I travelled al... | 1 |
The seesaw | Knowing you still want someone despite what happened after you and when you are back on good terms as friends is such a pain in the heart.
The chance of rejection always lurking if I made my feelings known is not fun at all. At least I wish I had space and moved on instead of agreeing to help them in their tough tim... | 1 |
I'm fed up of being alone. | Hi, just as the title says.
I'm 25F and i have no friends. I haven't had any for a a couple years now, and even when i did have some they barely spoke to them, unless on nights out getting drunk. i would text and they'd take days to respond, or sometimes just read my text and ignore it. I realised they didn't treat me... | 1 |
Unrequited and Impossible Love | So I met this person, we’ll call him GD, through my ex. Him and my ex were and still are best friends. I met him early in in my relationship with my ex, so I’ve known him and have gotten to know him over the course of two years. Obviously, being in a relationship with my ex, I just let my feelings for GD lay dormant, a... | 1 |
i feel so guilty about having a nicotine addiction | i (18F) have been consuming nicotine since a random manic episode from when i was 15. ever since then, i’ve been consuming it from cloves to vapes to regular cigarettes and i haven’t been able to stop. there was also a time when i used it as a substitute for my meds whenever my anxiety was at its peak (which made the a... | 1 |
I haven’t spoken to my boyfriend for over 24 hours. | *For more context please read my previous post*
It’s been 24 hours since my boyfriend told me he needed lots of space. He left me on read after I asked if space would help and at the moment I’m just falling apart. Because I suffer with lots of anxiety and intrusive thoughts as well autism, I’m thinking the worst case ... | 1 |
I’m the heaviest I’ve been in years and I’m in denial. | I’ve never felt so out of control. I recently turned 25 (F) and I imagined myself to be completely different. I’ve always struggled with eating, weight, etc. I always told myself I’d be in my prime at 25… well here I am, almost 85 Kg/187 pounds and I’m 5’9… I know this isn’t a lot on the grand scheme of things, but it’... | 1 |
I hate my body it and I know it will be the end of me | Please bear this fact in mind; otherwise, I fear that if we ever cross paths and you have the misfortune of laying your eyes upon me, you will be utterly repulsed and horrified at the sight of my overall physical appearance.
I’m a F(16), 110 lbs, and 5’1. I have always loathed my physique; everything about it can be l... | 0 |
I don't understand why I feel like I do | I'm quite lucky, I have a lovely family (2kids).
I've changed jobs from 1 I hated to 1 I wanted & I haven't had a drink in nearly a year, I go to the gym frequently & I've lost weight. But I feel so empty a lot of the time & there's days I could just cry, there's days I feel so desperately sad & I have zero motivation ... | 1 |
Engagement | Is it wrong of me to be able to purchase my engagement ring? My fiancé wants me to be able have one of my choosing. Is there anything wrong with that?? | 1 |
I'm not good at my job and I'm too defeated to do anything about it. | I got this job right out of university, even before I got the degree in my hand. So, I'm very grateful to have this job. But it's almost a year now and I'm not getting any better at it.
I've tried my hardest to cope up with the work load but demanding customers, colleagues resigning and going to maternity leave has ad... | 1 |
Mom screamed at me this morning for doing my laundry wrong | This is nothing new but just need to vent. I am 26 and moved back in and am still living with my mom while I finish college at a local university. I work part time and pay 500 a month to stay there. And use my food stamps for most of our groceries. But still really embarrassed and ashamed about my situation and failure... | 1 |
I always see people posting they are sad about being rejected and I just had to share this |
TW:s**cide
Post takes a weird turn so please don’t read if it will trigger you
I’m 21F, in university, and for some odd reason I get asked out constantly, by friends, random guys at school or just out in public etc. I got asked out 3 times this week, and I’ve rejected every single one, I’ve never rejected anyone bec... | 1 |
not everyone who parks badly is at fault | I keep seeing all these posts about people who purposly park like a dick because someone else is parked over the line, while on one hand if someone is parked agressivly over like 4 spots and obviously made no attempt to park within the lines thats one thing but its not what im annoyed about.
All these posts of peo... | 1 |
Constant overthinking interfering with my life. | I’m just so frustrated with myself. A thought will pop into my head about a certain thing and I will think about it and think about it and think about it until that thing is ruined for me. It doesn’t help that the stuff I tend to dwell on is usually so mundane that I tell myself I’m stupid for even dwelling on it in th... | 1 |
My neighbor is always cussing at his dog. | The dog doesn’t seem to be abused or afraid but I hate hearing him yell at the poor thing. The way our houses are situated I can’t help but hear him. The guy is a little scary-nice one minute and mean the next. | 1 |
My boyfriend of 10 months broke up with me. For the 10th time in 2 months. | Yes. I’ve been broken up with over and over again for little things and it honestly is making me question if truly in the wrong or something.
Context: I have depression, anger issues, and ocd. I have told him many times that my issues are really really hard and I’m working on them in therapy. It is about 20 years of ... | 1 |
I was diagnosed with Autism 8 months ago | I am a 31 year old woman, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services and I was thinking of becoming a therapist so I studied disorders of the brain through both the human services department and the psychology department of my alma mater.

Confused on how i feel | Last week i went on a 3-day trip with a guy friend i met a few weeks ago.
Yesterday i met up with him again and during conversation he blurted out "is that why you didnt have sex with me when we stayed at the hotel during that trip?"
I feel so disgusted. I'm not sure why, and it's frustrating me why I feel so repulse... | 1 |
My life is not perfect but it’s the life I’ve wanted all along. Yet I’m still unhappy. | It’s crazy. I can’t seem to focus on the good things about my life, and focus only on the things I don’t have. 10 years ago if I were to tell my 15 year old self where I am right now, I would’ve never believed it. But now that I’m here, all I can seem to think about are what else I don’t have. What a depressing thought... | 1 |

Just sent an e-mail to a nearby clinic | The clinic offers gender affirming hormone therapy. I asked them what I'd need to bring to a first appointment and what we can take care of there before starting the actual therapy. I don't know. I'm not someone who can do things on their own. I need someone taking my hand and telling me what to do, so this was really ... | 0 |

Something must be wrong with me | I am a 25 year old man and I have very limited relationship experience. One short relationship and a virgin. A lot of my friends say I am a good guy, fun to be around, kind, sensitive and a good listener. They also say I am not bad looking even though I am bald, can't grow a good beard and have a young looking face, so... | 1 |
My old, arthritic dog can barely walk, but she's alert and in good spirits | Anyway, she gets out for a pee once a day, she loves her food. She cries for company now if we're within sight but not right there. She's 13½, which is old for a 100 lb dog. I love her to pieces. My wife is trying to convince me to have her put down, but I just can't do it. And somebody give me some insight? My heart i... | 1 |
I can't get over the abuse I suffered at 12yo | Sorry for any mistakes, english isn't my first language.
I (22F) was a very insecure and lonely kid, and through my time in middle school I was looking for attention in the wrong places. When I was 12 I caught the attention of a 65 years old man, who sent me explicit photos and overall tried to groom me, and later I ... | 2 |

I want them our of my house | I (22) live with my mother (M) and my younger sister (S), my dad(D) is not out of the picture, he just works at a different city.

I hate my voice so much | I always avoided using voicechat in games because i was insecure about my voice. And when i finally gathered the confidence to use my voice, all that confidence was quickly crushed when someone told me i sounded like a 12 year old. Take note that I'm an adult
I asked people close to me if my voice really sounded like ... | 1 |
Spending hundreds on textbooks for a course I am not enrolled in | So far, I spent nearly $300 on various neuroscience textbooks. I also have been studying them. I plan on spending up to $700 more on textbooks about neuroscience, neurology, & consciousness.
(Maybe $100+ on Kindle ebooks)
I have no plans of enrolling in a college course. I have no plans for a career change.

Best friend of 5 years ghosted me... | My (F25) best friend (M29) of 6 years ghosted me out of nowhere. I am so confused, truly.
Backstory: we met when I was an intern in Orlando, FL where he lived. We ran in the same crowd and he dated- still is dating a friend that I have since fallen out of touch with. Once they started dating we became very close. He w... | 2 |
Domestic Violence Coverup. | My ex-girlfriend has abused me for years. Yet I feel attached to her regardless. My love for her remains the strongest it’s been and despite our relationship ending and me being aware of the abuse, I feel the need to run to her and love her forever.

Hey there, Reddit. I’m sorry I just need to vent a bit about an experience that's still gnawing at me.
You see, I'm a simple man. All I ask for after a long, stressful day at work is a little peace, quiet, and a chance to exercise my brain with a bit of Sodoku. I'd go so far as to call this my sacred time - a brief ... | 1 |
I’m gonna have to lay my dog to sleep myself | I feel a little sick, I don’t have the tears to cry just yet at least. My 2 pound senior chihuahua is already on his way out, his dementia has progressed significantly, and I already had a scare earlier this year when we thought we was gonna be put down. The ER visit costed my dear friend 600, because he volunteered to... | 0 |
I (28f) hate my self so much I cannot look in the mirror | I (28 f) know this is beyond stupid. I am young, healthy, successful, with hopes of soon starting my journey up the ladder of academia. I know I am quite intelligent, I speak three languages, I am good at almost anything I set my mind to. But whenever I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is the failure of an ugly ... | 2 |
I wish I was sexually attractive | Never been with a woman who seemed like they actually desire me outside of my first. I feel like I do my best to keep myself up. I take my hygiene seriously and never smell bad. I'm not fat , I work out. It just seems like every woman I've ever dealt with always makes being sexual with me seem like a chore. I never get... | 2 |
Is this normal to experience at school? Never told anyone this | I'm in university now, but I remember as a child in school, ever since being 6-7 years old I have vague memories of being nearly choked by another child and also flashed at one point?
I also have vivid memories (with proof from other kids who experienced the same) of other kids trying to pull my bikini off in the poo... | 1 |
I might be pregnant and I'm scared | I'm seventeen and i might be pregnant.

I'm exhausted by hearing my ex describe our breakup as messy and painful, when they were the person who made it that way | I want to say I've been lurking here for awhile and I really, really appreciate how nice y'all are. I've been holding all this inside my head for so long, but it's hard to truly feel that a place is safe to vent until you've watched for awhile.

Thanks in advance for listening, guys.

My mom manipulates me, and I hate it. | Essentially the title.
My mom controls me, gaslights me, belittles me, and says some of the worst things to me.
An example, my SO and I have been together for four years. In February, I began an OCD flair specifically revolving around him (relationship OCD), and this occurred up until even now (tho im medicated and i... | 1 |
Tired of being alive | Don't necessarily want to die, but not opposed to it. Just tired of life. It's just a lot. Even expressing the reasons why just seem pointless. This shit just sucks. How does anyone legitimately enjoy being on this fuckin planet? Really doesn't make sense to me. | 1 |
Love hurts | Confused what i need to do at the moment..be in this relationship for going in 4 years now..started off rough. Just young love honestly and i felt like he was my rescuer.

Every thought i think contradicts the other. i am losing control | i feel sad and helpless. it’s because i feel like i can’t even have control over my own life. it’s not a case against overbearing parents or anything, but with the universe lmfao. it’s such an exaggerated way to express it but things just keep going wrong for me.
to name a few, i’m still honestly having a hard time de... | 1 |

My (37m) best friend (her/they 29), an ex, mentioned we should live together | Shes my best friend, we hang out and talk all the time... Recently I've been dealing with resurfacing feelings for her. I've been able to keep them in check, but it does get hard sometimes.

My current frustration with gendered issues | I have pretty much always had a soft spot for women and women’s issues I think. I grew up in a very conservative/traditional household and saw the strain that put on my mother. Ever since then I always wanted to have my mom’s back and the back of women in general. I always voted liberally on women’s issues. I saw women... | 3 |

this situation is hard to explain and i won't to avoid any kind of mess, but long story short i did irreversibile damage to someone who did not deserve it. i was unstable, i still am in some way, but at the time i used to behave like a fucking psycho. i used to... | 0 |
My dog got hurt because of me | I went for a very long hike of 30km, and it ended up being 35. My dog came along and had the most wonderful day swimming and running. He didn’t seem to mind on the walk itself. But the next dat he started to limp and now he can only walk a couple of meters. The vet told me to wait a few days as there is nothing swollen... | 1 |

Today is my 53rd Birthday and I don't feel like celebrating. | I just don't feel like celebrating my 53rd, even though I should be thankful for being alive as three weeks ago, I ended up passing out at work. If I hadn't done it at work, I probably would have passed out behind the wheel driving home and probably got into an accident or worse killed someone or myself.

It's official. I'm a dumb little idiot | Article on my homepage just said **"Enrique Iglesias and Ana Kournikova married,"** and my first thought was not the usual *who gives a shit?!?!?!?!!* but instead was *I didn't even know they were dating.*
I have crossed the rubicon and am officially a dumb little idiot. | 1 |
Ground to dust | A rock and a hard place,
I do find my feet,
A heart felt case,
No refuge to see.
Ground to dust,
A streaking tear,
No one to trust,
Holding on dear.
A loved one,
Creeping to death,
Not nearly done,
Another breath.
Ground to dust,
A stomach sinks,
Iron watch rusts,
time does blink.
Pulled between,
Two souls weave,
