My future feels bleak. I have no one in my family who can help me and I’m struggling to live alone. I have financial support but that is it. It feels like I struggle with everything, I have no clue how to live, maintain an apartment, get employment, or seek opportunities as a student. On top of everything being emotionally draining with FASD I have narcolepsy so just doomscrolling all day exhausts me. Are there any resources or guides for how to support yourself when you need someone else to support you, but they aren’t there? I am so alone, lost, and confused.

I (24M) made an appointment at a hair salon that I went to as a kid/teen because the stylists are really good and I needed to fix a really bad haircut. In short, I missed the appointment and need to pay a $75 fee. I needed to call or text them back with my card number and I haven’t yet and it’s been about a week and a half. I’ve been having some mental health issues that I won’t go into much detail about because I’m not looking for sympathy, but I do want to give the context that that’s the reason I haven’t reached out. I have trouble with isolation and dissociation so I don’t realize the time is going by. It causes a lot of problems and gets me in situations like this a lot. I don’t know what to say at this point, they really liked me which is part of the reason I haven’t reached out because I know this is wrong and I’m ashamed of myself. I’m afraid to tell the truth because it’s so stupid. Does anyone have any advice on what to do or say?

When my ex (24m) and I (24m) broke up, he sent me one last text making it out to be that I was making him uncomfortable and generally being a toxic partner. I feel like I was a good partner but this is causing me to doubt myself. We had a conflict where he failed me when I was having a significant emergency and made a huge argument nitpicking one thing I did. After enough time I lost my temper and was just a jerk, which is something that is very rare but I shouldn’t have done. I will say I’ve lost my temper around him once before in a non-serious situation which was a jerk move.

When I reflect on it, we had a very good relationship, we never argued and confrontations were essentially small miscommunications that were quickly and easily resolved in a way that was cooperative. We have known each other for 3+ years and have dated for over 2. Every second I spent with him I felt like I was growing as a person. We always had fun and if anything, had a problem with chatting too much. We have gone through the worst together and have been there for each other through many family emergencies. I try very hard to be responsible and be a good boyfriend and person in general but I don’t even know if he loved me at this point and I’m questioning the dynamics of the whole relationship.

He said things that didn’t make sense, like that I iced him out and was talking like I yelled at him a lot. I have no clue what he’s talking about but am doubting myself. I come from abusive family so I would check in frequently about how he felt about my behavior in case I was displaying unhealthy behaviors, and he always reassured me that if I made him uncomfortable he would say something, but maybe he was just lying because he felt intimidated.

How can I tell if I was being a bad partner if I was the type of bad partner who was oblivious to being toxic? From what I’ve researched online, our relationship was healthy, so I’m so confused. But maybe I was doing all these things and didn’t realize it.

My partner and I broke up a week ago in an abrupt way that traumatized me. It took me years to trust him and the 8 year old finally opened up to him. Days after he traumatized me and she is really upset and I don’t know how to help her. Does anyone have any insight?

We had the perfect relationship but he failed me in an emergency and was very unkind to me. In his last text, he said stuff that was straight up untrue, making me out to be a bad partner causing us to have a bad relationship (we had all the signs of a healthy relationship and our therapists and families thought we were a good and healthy pair. I try really hard to be a good boyfriend and don’t think he was being honest). He knows I have OCD and will go thru periods where I spiral about whether or not I’m abusive and hurtful like my family, which he always reassured me I wasn’t and that he would tell me if he was uncomfortable. Ive been completely disoriented for a week, I had no clue he was the type of person to do this. It took me 3 years to finally trust someone and in weeks this happens.

Is it worth trying to trust again? How do I re orient myself? How do I come to terms with the person I thought was near perfect being someone who would use my deepest fear against me to traumatize me?

I’m deciding to officially put what my life is today behind me and start fresh. My family is a bunch of bullshit. They’ve gotten me involved in this fucked up mind game and I’m done. I need to completely separately myself from this situation, I can’t take the psychological warfare it is driving me crazy.

I’ve blocked everyone in my family except for a few people. I’m ready to start fresh and focus on myself and how to be the best person I can be. Is there anyone who is on the other side of this who can give me some hope, insight, or encouragement? I am so lost right now.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places but I have been having trouble finding folk Catholic practices that involve curse breaking. 4 people put a curse on me because the abusive relationship I was in was affecting them and making me a bit of a chaos monster (this was 6 yrs ago im chill now). There’s a chance they used something called a “demon deck” (idk what it is, some kind of divination cards).

Everything in my life is going wrong. Sometimes it’s small things, like being on time. No matter what I do I’m late. I can be 15 mins early and something will still happen. But literally almost everything that has happened to me since around the time they cursed me has been one thing going wrong after another.

The best thing I can think of is some kind of binding spell so that the magic they use cannot affect anyone. I’ve dabbled in spell work for most of my life but do not rlly get into serious stuff, so I am a bit lost here. I just want everything to stop going wrong.

As someone said on here once, he loves the smell of shit and he’s stirring a pot full of it. Everything he is going to do is going to be some form of manipulation and I wasn’t prepared for this, I’m deeply emotionally affected by all of this. How do I gray rock? How do I navigate talking to him? All this hurts so much

Some of the effects of how my mental health is making me feel has hurt people. Especially if I’m really upset about something, it ends up spilling out. I think it’s because my pain has gone unacknowledged, but it’s not an excuse to not control myself. How do I contain it in an appropriate way?

My grandpas behavior has been getting increasingly worse. He has started to triangulate my boyfriend into our mess. Its causing stress in our relationship but I can't get my grandpa to stop. Today, he went way past the line and lied to him to try to make me look bad. My grandpa is the only family I have and I'm still having whiplash from finding out the man who raised me never existed. He has done a complete 180. Sometimes i still want my pops back but that man was a lie. My grandpa knows I'm at my limit and keeps pushing. I'm too disabled for this bs and at my mental breaking point. Plus, it turns out I've likely had FASD or something similar from meth, but my grandparents refused to do anything, likely out of shame and guilt for what they did to my mom when she was pregnant that drove her to use. Everyone thinks I'm autistic but now I know my mom was using when pregnant, so... Yeah. Had to talk myself down from giving up, throwing my life into a pack and walking in the woods and never turning back earlier. Im sticking around but I am past my limit and can't take this anymore.

I lived the man vs. bear scenario yesterday. It’s like every time I force myself to leave to participate alone in a social activity, something bad happens. I went to the river yesterday to meditate and relax and picked a pullout spot to park at and walked down to the bank. I had a bunch set up, I was gonna swim, paint, and have a fire. These 2 guys show up (rule of thumb here is you usually don’t take one of these occupied spots unless ur a fly fisherman looking to start walking up/downstream somewhere).

Immediately I’m annoyed and put off by these people but I’m trying to ignore them bc I got a weird vibe and I’m not trying to fw that. Their dog ran up to me and growled at one point when they were completely out of sight, of course they were like “she’s just friendly!” They were starting to get rlly annoying so I tried to politely ask about how long they were thinking about staying around and started to explain I’ve been going thru a lot and wanted some solitude, before I could be like “I don’t mean to seem like I’m pushing you out, I’m just trying to figure out my schedule” this guy (Mr. Bald) just starts yelling, trying to talk over me.

I don’t fw that aggro shit so I was trying to stand my ground and keep talking. So of course. Mr. Bald and Mr. Cuck start yelling at me and making fun of what I mentioned I went thru. Said shit like “I hope you don’t kill yourself.” I’m losing it at them at this point too so of course I feel embarrassed abt that but hey what do you think is gonna happen for making fun of someone who went thru what I did (take a quick scroll thru my profile if ur curious). I think the only reason Mr. Bald who was rlly aggro didn’t fight me was bc he saw I had a machete with my stuff.

Like, I know 4 people cursed me years ago (bc I was an asshole from I was being abused), I’m starting to believe it’s real with the comedically awful luck I have. I just want to go outside but everything always goes wrong :(

So yeah. Bear. Bear every

Went thru some of the worst shit of my life because of my parents and grandparents but I still pulled thru. I dont have many ppl to share this with so I thought I’d bring it to this sub. I’m having to completely rebuild and I still succeeded, shit sucked but I’m proud of myself :)

My dog is at the point where he’s going to need an enema soon. I’ve tried massages. Pumpkin. Rice/beef diet. Long walks. Last night and this morning he went to poop but as soon as he squatted a dog walked by (yes, my luck is that bad!) and he got distracted and didn’t want to poop after that. The only other option I know of in my toolkit would be to give him some banana because it clears him out like crazy but I don’t want to make him more sick.
I went to the vet yesterday and he will be good as long as this clears, idk what to do!!! I don’t care abt paying for the enema, I just don’t want him to go thru all that :( pls help

My grandpa compares me to my bio mom to upset me and set me off. She is a truly evil person. He knows my worst fear is being like her. It makes me senselessly upset. How do I deal with him doing this?

Oh my god I’m so ready to move on in life without him. Groomer weirdo. Swore time and time again to pay for my college and just hasn’t. I can’t re-enroll and I’m abt to just take the L and take on the debt myself bc I can’t stand being in this position. I wish he just told me to pay for it in the first place instead of continuously grooming me to be dependent on him. Im 24 I’m so frustrated 🙃 I just want to feel like my life is my own but he keeps holding me back and messing with my head. He won’t let me be an adult bc he keeps making these false promises that make me depend on him then screwing me over. I can’t wait to put him behind me and never look back. Hes acted in ways where hes made himself dead to me. I have no clue who that man is. God im so sick of suffering because of one fucking person.
