I have a corgi who will be 14 in april and I love her so much. She actually stayed in bed with me last night as I bear hugged her crying into her fur. I’m sure she wanted to move, but she stayed in bed with me all night.

I just saved this! Thank you so much for spreading the word about this. When I was as googling text lines or chats this on didn’t come up so it’s great you are spreading the word to people in need.

That’s very good to know because they just kept asking how they could help and I said I need to talk to them to help me through the mania and it was just, “you’re so strong to reach out. How can I help you to feel better?”

It’s crazy, but she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 months back in the spring and got really back into religion which I support her beliefs, but every time she gets back to being really religious she becomes incredibly judegmental.

Sending you a hug back, birthday twin. I’m so sorry you had a terrible birthday too. It’s so awful and you don’t deserve it. I am hoping you have the best day today!

That makes so much sense and I will ask my therapist tomorrow when I see him. We are trying to work on me being more social so this will be a thing to bring up. I have bad social anxiety and my anxiety manifests as anger then mania if it gets too bad. I’m working on coping mechanisms, but they aren’t going well…

Thank you, I truly appreciate all of your love and support. I’m going to immerse myself in the movie next week and I the only reason I’ll cry is when I see Carrie Fischer on screen because I miss her so much.

I wish there was private messaging too. Thank you and I will go to the movie and enjoy myself.

Thank you! I just started treatment a couple months ago after being on a waitlist for a year at a dozen places, but I do have a great therapist so it’s worth it but in that year of waiting for treatment I got so bad that it’s been so hard to not become manic when I’m angry or anxious.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. It hurts a lot, but I hope I will be better off in the end.

Off topic but I need some help because let me say...the crisis textline was a bot because they couldn’t effectively hold a conversation. It was always, “what should I do to help you?”

The one who committed suicide. The grandson himself gave a statement on his father’s suicide years ago stating, “he couldn’t live down who his father was. He couldn’t let it go.”

I originally thought your icon was pouring that into his eyes and thought how fitting! Downing it is also appropriate.

I can see it now!

Pssst I don’t know if it was intentional as a joke or accidental, but it’s Captain Marvel.

I understand, I prefer warmth to fashion as well, but people who keep commenting are proving my point.

Agreed, but I want a woman’s sweatshirt made out of the men’s material and it pisses me off that there is none.

I won’t even shop for clothing in retail stores anymore because they are always a season or two ahead. Trying to find some new gloves in February after you tore yours shoveling? Sorry, we clearances those out in October to make room for bathing suits...in New England.

I feel incredibly silly because I thought Scarlett was dating Bobby Flay or something...maybe I dreamed it when his show came on after I fell asleep watching Chopped.

There’s a new Star Wars movie coming out in exactly a month filled with sexy men and this guy won instead? What is going on?!
