Hi... I don't know how this works, but I am already at my wits end😔 I have no one to confide in and this is my last resort after thinking for a while. OK! Here goes. I have a friend who makes me feel as if we are dating. She prefers to only be in my room with me, watching movies and cuddle with the doors closed. Its up to the point where my parents think we're dating and they do...

Hi. On September 14, 2023, a lady from a social media app told me that she could help me with clothes sewing. We meet online on September 16, and we meet in person at her house on September 23. I had two bags that contained a box of chocolate for her family and clothes for her daughter. (I wanted to show my gratitude before she even sewed anything for me.) A Cozy Earth Bamboo Creamy...

Hi, So I've been in a relationship for 3.5 years. Upa and downs of course. Though for a while now I've been feeling trapped/ stressed, so been doing research and I don't think I am respected and maybe with someone with a narcissistic tendencies. I feel I have been love bombed and then screamed at. My needs have not been met for the last few years, loads of little things that ...

I have been alone for years now. But I would really like to share a bond with a lady. However I have so much distain and self-loathing I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be with me. I'll see a lady who I really like and all I can think is that it would be terrible for her and I would ruin her life. I find myself caught in these cycles and despiring. I have tried to destroy these elem...

My partner of 8 years went to prison almost 8 months ago. I am struggling with loneliness and trying my best to survive financially. I had found a roommate to help but that fell through in spectacular fashion. I really need someone to talk to. The alone is starting to weigh on me....

I felt really appalled by a friends lack of emotionally maturity, her disrespect for people in general, her tantrum throwing when l tried to establish boundaries, unwillingness to view any perspective but her own, her unwanted and dodgy advice 'to never explain, never apologise' and rigid opinions that were decidedly right wing, completely uninformed and bordering on conspiracy theory. ...

Hi My parents split up just over 2 months ago which came as a total shock to me, I didn't see it come at all, as far as I knew they were fine. There were no obvious signs no arguments, no distance or issues that could of put strain on there relationship and they've always supported each other through everything. the night before they broke up they were snuggled on the sofa together wa...

Hey everyone, I’m a new member who could use some perspective on a situation that’s bothering me. In January this year I ghosted my two best friends, and I think I regret it but don’t really know how to proceed (I’ll call them Marcus and Angie).This isn’t the first time we’ve stopped talking; back around June of last year we got into a blowout fight when one of our 17 y/o friends go...

Ok so im 18 years old and recently my best friend- or my only friend moved away. I stayed at our hometown with my parents even though i wanted to leave but we couldn't afford that. I was initially jealous because of that but i got over it quickly. Anyways, my main concern right now is that i feel like i am missing out on life. I go to uni but i havent really met anyone i like. I have people ...

Hi everyone so my parents both retired however they are still arguing about money. My dad is getting state pension and he covers all the bills. My mum has previously worked for over 40 years so will be getting state pension + private pension soon. My mum's mobile phone bill is covered and her travel card is free as she is senior citizen. She demands money from my dad every every week as she s...

Hello, So this past week I thought my Saturday night was going to be peaceful and full-on me replaying Final Fantasy 13, but nope. I got on the shared desktop and saw my husband Discord up. I don't snoop, I had a hovering mom and privacy has always been a big part of my MO, but tonight I did. I wish I hadn't, but it only worsened the things I felt. I felt bile in my throat and my eyes we...

My bf and I have been dating since we were in our early teens, however at one point we had broken up for a 1-2 years. Before we broke up, my bf used to touch my legs a bit. I was fine with it on and off I think (I don’t really remember) but I felt really ashamed doing it, so it made me feel a tiny bit anxious. He used to stop if I said no, but he would mope a bit. Flashforward now and we’re...

Im 32. Mom of a 7-year-old beautiful girl. I recently got divorced. Thankfully, it wasn't messy like most divorces. And I have a good-paying job, so life isn't that bad for the two of us. I don't know if I feel free, happy, or sad. Either way, I'm exploring myself now. Mostly online. Talking with new people. Watching naughty videos (I didn't watch those when I was married)...

I feel intensely insecure in whatever work I'm doing, even if I'm experienced or have qualifications, it cripples me. Imposter syndrome, seems to fit my symptoms in some ways, but it also seems to overarch into feeling this way about life. Like I'm not meant to be here. It plagues me, this feeling that I don't fit in within the world, like I am failing at being human or being a...

My life experience has been fraught with people who have hurt me to my core. I am at the moment trying to cope with my biggest hurdles - fear and trust. These are big stumbling blocks in my life. I am afraid, anxious, and insecure. I have never been more acutely aware of how much I need a savior. I don't want to need one and I would do anything to save myself. But I honestly do not know how ...

I had my first love when I was 14 years old. I don’t know if that's too young to like someone. He knew me through a mutual friend and found me cute. I didn’t really talk to him, but his mom passed away around that time, so I texted him to give him my condolences when I found out. We became good friends and talked all the time, about every topic under the sun. He confessed to me after 2 we...

I'm a college freshman at a state school in my home state. When I was applying to colleges in high school, I was mainly focused on large colleges in urban environments, and I was very narrow-focused on that at the time. My guidance counselor suggested to apply to the school I go to now, it is a large school and one that was easy to get into, but I wasn't too sure about it. It is a good s...

My girlfriend of 7 years has made it obvious that she is dissapointed that I haven't bought an engagement ring and proposed. We bought a house last year and both work full time. A big part of my paycheck goes towards mortgage payments and she pays whatever she can/wants to every month to go towards the principal. (The house is only under my name and I don't ask her to help pay toward...

For the past 4 years I have raised a child like he has been my own. His mother was just a neighbor. She was having a lot of trouble with men and having to move a lot. The child was with us four days a week to help her out. Then when school started he started to live with us because she "forgot" to register him. So we got him registered in my town. He moved in with us and started school....

I am a 28 year old woman thats unemployed and i sit at home all day wondering what to do for activities, whether to improve my resume skills or go workout. I like books and ive always been told to follow my passion which is helping autistic folks or other people with disabilities. I also like art, but schooling seems to be far reach right now. I like pets as well and baking. I have some suppor...

I will try to explain the essence of the question, I suffer from Hepatitis B in severe form with delta, once again when I was at the pharmacy and bought my medicines, I asked casually if there was anything new in this area, the pharmacist said that there is such a medicine, one tablet and that's it, only it costs more than $ 100,000, but the most important thing that she did not say the name,...

I’ve been dating this girl for 2 months now. She’s awesome and beautiful and shows me the upmost respect. As soon as I am separated from her my mind goes to awful thoughts. Is this something alot of men deal with ? Or should I go consider help. I’m not an insecure person. But more worried of what will happen in my past relationships....

I (28M) want to preface this by saying that I have recently come to terms with the fact that I may have drinking issues that have developed over the past few months. I’ve been struggling with some personal issues and have been binge drinking more than I’d probably care to admit, perhaps as an outlet. I think this precipitated the incident below meaningfully, but at the end of the day, I take ...

I just turned 18 a few months ago. I didn’t even think I’d make it that far. I deal with a debilitating mental illness and I was denied any treatment for it my entire childhood.I now have access to medication, but I can’t afford it. I was supposed to go completely blind a few years ago,I haven’t, but I just lost vision in one of my eyes. There was a chance for me to have some recovery, but...
