A part of me wants to try online dating and another part doesn’t want to explain my autism or deal with the pressure of finding an actual match. It’s practically the only way to put yourself out there these days, so I guess I don’t really have much of a choice.

I need to get a refill on CBD oil to help w this stupid anxiety/depression but I'm terrified to tell my mom abt it cause I'm afraid she'll tell my dad and he really doesnt need to know about it. i need to tell her so that I can hopefully get a refillable pen (they're pretty expensive and I'm hoping to find one that my mom has used in the past) but idk I'm too afraid to talk to her.

because of that I'm just sitting here being stressed and anxious and depressed for no reason at all. I'm lying here with a fan blowing on me and I'm cold but I don't have the energy to put my blanket over me. playing 80s music desperately hoping that it can make this feeling go away.


also I'm stuck in a room that has no lock so ofc my dad has to walk in here 292948 times a day and I just can't handle it

Small complaint but I was gonna make a thread looking to buy a snow bunny collectable but they are way more expensive then I expected

My Uncle passed away a few hours ago, he had mold in his lungs. I wasn’t very close to him because he was a drug addict and stole from me and acted like he had every right to. I do have some good memories of him when he was doing better Also my angelfish passed away today as well rip angel fish.

Hate morons who buy a doll and doesn't do anything with it and sell it online 30$ more than the actual price of the doll. Sometimes they will buy 5 of the same doll and they don't care how others feel that others can't find the doll and those people will be sad because they're all out of stock.

Scalpers in general annoy me. I don’t give them my business, and watch like a hawk for when it comes up for the normal price (which might take a while, but is worth the wait to me).

As for what’s bothering me, there’s a big ol’ bug in out TV room. I know the old adage “it’s way more scared of you than you’re scared of it”, but that doesn’t immediately erase my nervousness about it

my brain is just cloudy feeling kind of right now

l do to but it's been weeks and months. And l have been patient, but nothing. So l gave up on two dolls and just didn't get them.

I wish you luck on your search, then. I’m not as well versed in hunting for toys, but I’d think the hype (and scalping) for toys would die down a bit after the Christmas season.

well l know for sure in a month the doll may never return again. Cause now she supposed to be rare.

I.... feel completely terrible. Something is wrong with my body. Not like COVID wrong, but there’s something screwed up. I can feel it.

Technically a repost but I’m a bit sad that my best friend and I have stopped talking. It may sound childish on my end that she kind of forgot about my birthday and now today is our friendship anniversary of 8 years and we haven’t even spoken. I’ve been initiating the hangouts for the past couple of times and she seemed kind of quiet and stopped wanting to hang out longer and opted to go home early to “study” which I know she never really did judging by her online activity. I tried wishing her happy holidays on multiple occasions but the conversations seemed one sided and disinterested. I even tried texting her and she would always leave me on delivered while she was busy talking with her new friend (I joined their Discord server and I see their conversations in the general section). The only time my best friend ever talked to me nowadays was telling me how stressed she was or to teach her new friend Japanese. Her new friend seems really sweet and I’m happy for them, I just can’t help thinking that it’s my fault. I used to be able to talk to my best friend about everything, and she did do some questionable things in the past but she defended me in the past and made me feel that I was important in a hostile environment that was school. Maybe I’m just stuck in the past and that it’s time to move on. My best friend’s parents are also going through a rough divorce and she has been going to therapy. I tried to support her and listen the best way I could, but I feel like I failed as a friend.

This is def not your fault, you have made attempts multiple times to reach out to them, you listen when they talk to you, you seem like you genuinely care about her and her wellbeing. You saying her parents are going throu a divorce, not just a divorce but a rough one, she goes to therapy and that she's stressed. Due to all those stressors in her life could be the reason why she's been quiet, she may not know how to handle all that at once. Factors like that could lead to depressive/down/stressed behaviour. People being quiet and unresponsive to others is a common thing when someone is going throu it in life, it's draining, mentally and possibly emotionally. Online stuff serves as a distraction to stress. And as much as we want to help, we can't choose who the other person confides in, IF she is confiding to the other person. If she just has casual conversation with the other friend that that shows even more that they do make an effort to remain friends with you, even if it seems like it's only to vent.

I would say keep being persistent with talking to them. One of the last things that someone who is down needs is to loose a friend or someone to talk to. Loosing someone close to them just makes things worse. They will see that you've made the effort to talk multiple times, and hopefully when it'll all become much less stressful and more smooth. Once it does, they will see all those texts and know you do care for them. If you feel up to it, try to prompt them into talking about how they're feeling and tell them 'hey I know things suck now but you should know I care about you and you can tell me anything, I'll be here to listen'. Let them really know.

It is def not your fault.

i still can't shake the feeling off that everyone i know is good at something and i'm just kind of here

My ex neighbor (the one I grew up next to for most of my life) died of cancer today at her home. She will be missed. My aunt is also very unwell and keeps getting worse and nothing the doctors are doing for her is helping...

I appreciate your advice! You’ve made some really good points that I haven’t thought about before that I’m taking to consideration. I know I’m lucky about never having to experiencing my parents going through a divorce, and especially with her parent’s exact situation, there’s no way I can relate. Though, I’ll continue to let her know that I support her and I’m here for her. As for her other friend, I don’t know her in real life and she seems like a nice person. Since the discord has multiple people, my best friend and her friend’s general discussions are rather lighthearted, but I’m sure that they DM each other about their own issues. Again, thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
