I'm very depressed and in pain all the time (migraines and nerve issues in my hands/forearms) and really stressed at work, but what put me over the edge was that my microwave broke and I couldn't make oatmeal this morning.

^^^ ahhh, yeah that sucks. it's hard to force someone to take care of themselves if they don't give a poo poo and it sucks to watch. sorry you're going through that. hope he can turn it around

she actually had a husband but they were codependently alcoholic sounds like. what kinda fucks w/ me is she reached out for a referral to my ayahuasca cult like a month ago & i did - i referred her. they even reached out to her real quick & just as quick she got cold feet about the airfare and cost of the ceremony etc and backed out. i was kinda pissed and told her to stop drinking. she said she wasn't ready to but wanted to cuz she wanted kids. and that was our last conversation. part of me thinks that if she had committed to tripping balls with me this friday & stopped drinking that day in preparation she'd be fine now..... but if she wasn't eating then who the gently caress knows. it sucks. i feel bad for her brother. she was the last family he had

Hail Spwwttag.
It was because of a Thursday night driving home from work. I should have pulled over because I couldn't see through the tears. Friday was going to be my last day, nine years in. Saturday was going to be when I left my wife, cats, everyone, to go fly 14,000km away to try to make a new start for us. I didn't have any contacts or prospects, just a tourist visa. I was terrified of failure and wanted to bail.

Three years on and things have worked out so much better than I'd hoped. The pace is chill, the view is unbelievable, our jobs are good. There's no annual cadence between loving snow and swamp heat. And we'd almost given up after a decade, but somehow there's a feisty baby girl coming any day now. So yeah I teared up a bit today thinking of that drive home.

daily I exchanged several page-long messages with a guy i had a massive crush on for 8 months. he lead me on in several ways over that duration

only for him to tell me he just sees me as a friend

cut him out 3 months ago and I’ve been sobbing about it every day since

it seemed the stars aligned and I put everything into it thinking I might some day marry him. I never even had a foot in the door I guess

don't put the penis on a pedestal.
seriously, you sound very naïve and self-loathing.

i'm a romantic who writes daily love-literature and if you think that requires the stars to align for the people who want to marry me, you're very much mistaken. relationships require work from both partners, not celestial alignment.
placing a transcendent value on partnership is a delusion you'd be well served to rid yourself of. there are lots of people you could be happy with and this guy does not sound compatible with you, from your own description.

cry, mourn, feel better and move on. you'll be fine.

lol, only a goon would think that it's abnormal for a single adult to get a crush on someone. It's pretty much how most relationships begin dude, someone realizes they are interested in the other one. And nothing wrong with being let down that they aren't interested in you.

started a new CSR contract and still in training with a pretty solid government contract, finally doing practice certification which is all practice calls. feel mostly ready but the dude doing them is the trainer is a kinda of codecending dude and i get placed with a nice dude who kinda mumbles his way through them, he gets every easy call and compliment and then i get every curve ball harder stuff and i feel like he kinda switches up different types of calls and if i make a mistake i am left to hang while he basicaly lets the other dude skate. idk i think alot of it is me projecting and i am sure i will get past it but i am just tired.

Watched The Lost Valentine, a Hallmark movie starting Betty White as a WWII widow who would wait at a train station daily for her husband to come home, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a news reporter that is covering her story.

Betty White’s performance at the end made me start with the waterworks, but the military honors triggered the memory of my dad’s memorial service with the flag draped coffin and “Taps” being played, and I just lost it. He’s only been gone since November, and I miss him daily.

Well, ya fuckin got me, OP. I cried this morning and didn't even realize I needed to have a healthy cry.

I lost my dad when I was 19 and my mother when I was 24. It sucked and still sucks. But anyway, I wasn't crying about them or some memory about them, but about something my uncle said to me.

I can do really simple car maintenance tasks like replacing bulbs/batteries, changing oil, putting on a spare but I'm absolutely tool-dumb and anything more than that is usually beyond me. Well this particular problem was beyond my ability and time sensitive because it was going to prevent me from being able to work. I was at the point where I resigned myself that I'd come to the limits of my knowledge and the tools available to me. Usually in that situation I'll have to ask my uncle to come help, which he always can and will, maybe just not right away.

Well, he helped me at least diagnose the problem over the phone and give some advice for what to look for. I watched a few YouTube videos, and by gawd I did the job myself, so I texted him that I wouldn't actually need him to go out of his way and do it for me (again) because it was fixed.

He replied "good job, got it done yourself, proud of you." So why'd I cry? I think that might be the first time since losing my parents that someone meaningful in my life said they were proud of me. All of that happened on Monday and I cried about it today, but :unsmith:

I'm sorry. I've had a similar situation in the past. It's lovely. it was an ex, that kind of acted like she wanted to be together, again. turns out her bi-polar disorder isn't being treated right, so it's like a rollercoaster every week. Stay strong.

Sorry for you, bud. I got lucky enough to get pushed into therapy for anger issues when I was a teen. Now, I just deal with depression and anxiety.

Maybe you can fix it, maybe not. But, I can commiserate.

who has time to cry when you're too busy muttering things to yourself and not really noticing yourself until after the fact due to extreme anhedonia so you interpret the voices as hostile intrusive thoughts kind of like a doppleganger doppler effect causing you to question your entire sense of psychic integration and even the fabric of reality itse :justpost:

Things I haven’t cried about that I probably need to have a good sob over: stress at my job, long covid, guilt/anxiety over creative endeavors and letting people down, realizing I can no longer envision myself ever having long-term human companionship

Things that actually made me have to fight back tears: the Godzilla King Of The Monsters final trailer

I don’t know why I’m like this.

I have been crying off and on in the evenings for the past couple of weeks because my oldest dog is most likely going to have to be put down soon. Her hand legs are starting to go out and she has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and cushings in the last month. She no longer let's us know when she needs to use the bathroom so we have to follow her almost any time she gets up. It feels lovely just knowing it is coming and it's for the best, but still is going to be rough. I can't look at her dumb old face without feeling depressed.

Oh, and I am also about to cry from frustration because that "Brand New Key" song from the new season of Kids in the Hall keeps creeping back into my head.

I feel like this is something you could explore with a therapist, but if so brace yourself for more crying. I have never not cried at a first therapy appointment.

does getting an in-depth psychological evaluation from a psychologist count as a therapy?
i mean, i didn't cry either way but i've never had 'therapy' so i'm grasping at straws here.

can you date your therapist? because i feel like that could kill a couple birds with one stone if so.

I already sent you a PM to apologize, but as I stated earlier in this thread, I'm trying to be a better person - not only to my wife but to strangers and friends alike and I felt compelled to address it publicly. Fallows, if my response to you sounded at all aggressive or cynical I am extremely sorry. I hated to hear that you feel ashamed of yourself and sincerely meant to have a dialogue with you. I'm sure that you aren't worthy of self-shame and would encourage you to meet with your birth mother - no mother would be ashamed to meet the adult her child has become. My PMs are open if you would like to discuss this further and welcome any feedback.
