My elderly mother has terrible anxiety and is bipolar. She is always convinced if I don’t pick up her phone calls, she concludes I have committed suicide or have been in a car accident. I don’t even get a 5 minute window to call back. I live with her now to take care of her, and I am so completely smothered by her…

This is 110% something my mom would do if she lost contact with me, even if I’d previously given her plenty of warning that I would be dropping off the map for whatever reason.
Counterpoint.
“Melissa Shelton, 29,”
I can’t believe she is claiming to be 29!
Ooof.
That’s a rough looking 29 year old. She’ll look like the Crypt Keepers older sister by the time she’s 40.
Can’t respond to the dating, but I’m almost 48 and looking for work again after a few years off. I’m just trying to tell myself that I have A LOT more experience, perspective, and workplace wisdom than the younger applicants and some company is going to want that. From one job seeker to another, hang in there and good…
Happy Saturday all!
Hi hi hi! Anybody else drinking? I have my last bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau as my evening’s libation. As carb conscious (extreme) as I am, I gotta give it up for wine now and then. #selfcare #lolz I’m listening to Florida Georgia Line and trying to keep the anxiety thoughts (I’m a failure at life! Do I have a…
I vote to try to find a roommate first, because that seems like the option that causes the least change, and you deserve to minimize aggravation in your life right now.
So the boyfriend and I broke up after almost four years. The tl;dr version is that he wants to move out of th city and focus on his art (i.e. not have any sort of day job, even though he has no alternative source of income and my salary covers 90 per cent of his living expenses) but I have a demanding career that I…
Ageism thread. I’m 45...never married, no kids. I date younger guys and I’m newly unemployed and going through some really hard times. I seem to be experiencing some serious ageism with companies/hiring and with people who have an issue with me dating guys in their 20’s. I’m so frustrated and hate feeling shamed. Not…
I put one of my dogs down today. He was about 13 years old and had congestive heart failure. He’s been with me through some of the shittiest times of my life, and no matter how bad things were he always managed to cheer me up. Then to make matters worse, my ex sent me a message on Facebook saying he was sorry about my…
Because we’re in The Bad Place.
I’m using this from now on for everything.
Thank you for this! WE HAVE A WINNER. I bought it in green, with the matching ottoman. Do you have a link to the design blogger’s site? Now I need to find inspiration for throw pillows and such. Pinterest is helping!
After watching 10 seconds of her video I am perfectly fine with the blogger being torn limb-from-limb by wild dogs.
