I know that it hasn’t been announced that Eileen and Rigby are a couple yet, but he is already doing so much for her. I have a guy friend who is like a brother, but it’s obvious that’s not what’s going on. He loves her. He treats Eileen so much better than anyone else in his life already. He’s willing to do so much for her. Yeah, he’s still an idiot, but I like this Rigby a lot more. He’s willing to learn and grow up for someone just to be there for her since she’s a badass genius he admires. It’s so sweet.

I watched the episode with Skips’s backstory. I shed a few tears. I was actually hoping that Mona died of old age after marrying Skips, but we know she didn’t. 😭 Now Skips is immortal and unless he convinces Death to let her visit he’ll never see her again. I’m just venting and wondering why Skip doesn’t go back in time to save Mona.

Mordecai and Rigby would 100% be stoners. Mordecai especially would smoke and take gummies to help deal with his anxiety and occasional depressive episodes. Rigby would smoke just to calm the eff down since he is a menace.

Benson would be a chainsmoker and an off-the-clock stoner who shares a weed dealer with Mordecai and Rigby. He would make them tell him where they got it under threat of firing, but would also chill with them after hours.

Skips would have all the best wine and alcohol from all over the world from his many travels. He’d have a giant locked cellar under his house where he brings out the good stuff on occasion. It is a legendary collection that the boys would constantly try to break into without success. Daily, I don’t see him using anything though.

Since Pops is loaded, he would also have an amazing stash of alcohol that he hides from his workers. He and Skips would have secret hangouts where they exchange bottles and taste wine. At night, I see him drinking wine and possibly smoking cigars.

Muscle Man and High Five Ghost are country, redneck coded so they would be throwing back beers that they’re happy to share with anyone. Muscle Man might have had a chewing tobacco habit, but he would quit that if Starla didn’t like it.

Thomas is really chill. I don’t see him doing anything besides occasionally drinking.

Regular Show is about young adults who have a bunch of issues and no idea what they're doing with their lives navigating adulthood in a bizarre world. It talks honestly about adulthood and life while simultaneously having fun, action-packed adventures. In one episode, you could have depictions of depression and desperation over a relationship not working out, while in another episode, everyone is bowling against Death for their immortal souls. It's a great time, and its characters have surprising depth, especially my favorites, Mordecai, Muscle Man, Skips, and Benson. (I know Rigby will have his time. I'm only in season five.)

There are so many adult jokes and references that I'm surprised this show wasn't pitched to Adult Swim. Very little would have to change. Just let the characters swear, drink alcohol, and smoke weed sometimes, and that's about it. Nothing else really has to change.

Edit: Almost should say Always. I can't fix it.

Hi, me early 30s F again, it turns out my boyfriend is upset with me for flirting and then accidentally making the conversation all about myself without realizing it.

I feel like I do this all the time. I say the wrong thing or misunderstand, or people misunderstand what I'm trying to say, and suddenly I'm the worst person on the planet. Then when I try to talk and fix it, the other person is too mad to listen. I feel like I can't do anything right today. Sometimes I wish I could transmit thoughts telepathically so that no one would ever misunderstand me, or that I could understand exactly what everyone needs to hear so that I would never make a mistake again. It is just the worst, because when we make mistakes, it suddenly feels like the worst possible conclusions are drawn about us. This has happened to me since I was a child, and I'm sick of it.

I typed this out once already and it was deleted. I’m so mad. I’m 33F. I had an ADHD diagnosis growing up but not an autism one until I was 30.

My whole life, my Mom tried to raise me like I was normal. To make matters worse, our family was dysfunctional. My Dad was a functional alcoholic who died almost two years ago. My Mom had anger issues and was verbally abusive. My older sister was a verbally and sometimes physically abusive drug addict who got clean. I had to help raise my little sister because I was expected to be functional.

About that, I was treated like my Mom’s little friend. I was expected to always be there for her when I had no one there for me until I was older.

Now, I’m an adult with PTSD who’s finally learning to accept her autism and stop masking. I have struggled to find consistent work since I graduated college 9 years ago. My Mom was paying for me to live in our former city in a townhouse. I have struggled with depression which isn’t helped by my Mom constantly telling me I live in a fantasy world if I think I am ever going to be capable.

This is one reason I have tried to distance myself from my Mom. Other reasons include her actively trying to mess up my relationship with my boyfriend, her trying to get me to open up only to use my secrets against me in arguments, her making me walk on eggshells for years, her verbal abuse towards me for me not getting over my trauma, her policing of my behavior around family, her domineering behavior which makes me afraid of speaking up, and so much more.

Living on my own has helped me become so much happier. I genuinely never want to live with my Mom again because I have had so much freedom to be with my friends, grow independent, and be myself.

I made the mistake of visiting Mom in her city states away and have hated every moment except for seeing some family. The noises trigger me. I have been anxious about pleasing my Mom. There is almost nothing to do here. I have wanted to cry every minute. I hate visiting my family here.

Then I find out my Mom wants to sell the townhouse and have me live with her states away in a city I hate. My Mom is hurt because I don’t want to live here and I am angry with her and don’t feel like showing her affection right now. I love my Mom and I care, but going through this is going to mess up so much in my life and I am so angry about it. I want to put more work into finding ways to improve my life. I never want to live with my Mom again. I feel like this makes me evil, but I don’t love my Mom. I don’t think I have for a long time. I won’t mask for her.

I’m 33F with no job and I’m living somewhere my Mom pays for. I am going to visit her two states away for the weekend. I was going to talk about it with my boyfriend but autism messed it up.

I was nervous. I’m depressed because life and period. I had asked him before what he wanted to do on the 4th and he said he didn’t know what he’s doing on that day so ask closer to it. I told him I would, but then my Mom called and we came up with the plan of me visiting for the weekend. The truth was I wasn’t sure BF would want to do anything or want me over. I didn’t want to be alone when all my friends would be preoccupied with their families. It would have been my first 4th of July being alone since my Dad died almost two years ago.

My boyfriend and I haven’t been hanging out due to problems with our relationship with my Mom, her constant verbal put downs towards me, and mistakes I’ve made. I’ve been trying to grow and be a better partner, but between struggling to manage myself lately (I’ve taken almost half a week just to do laundry and haven’t applied for jobs) and not even being able to fit in my favorite hobbies like piano and making it to church on time, I feel like all I can do is fail.

I lay in the grass for the first time in forever today and tried to watch the clouds, but I couldn’t handle the sunlight, being paranoid of the buzzing insects (deathly allergic to bees), or getting worried about getting a rash from the grass. I feel like I can’t handle things that used to be easy. I really hate my autism.

Obligatory info: 33F, live in a place paid for by my Mom, jobless, struggling to function

Besides writing, I have no clear job path except for paralegalism, but it’s hard for me to find time to study when I struggle to get going in the day and get chores done. I get piano practice and go to the gym. I struggle to apply for jobs and talk to my friends and boyfriend.

I have been in a relationship for almost 7 years and it’s a wreck because I have slowly withdrawn from communicating and spending time with him. I feel like I have done everything wrong. I am struggling to even sleep on time and write on schedule.

There is one friend I rarely talk to because I’m exhausted. Life has been harder since my dad died of alcoholism a year and a half ago. She is autistic like me but is socially anxious to the point of paranoia. She won’t get a job because she thinks every employer is out to get her. Every time my close friend and I try to get her out, she either melts down or almost has a meltdown because she thinks someone is laughing at her. I don’t have money to pay for hanging out or patience to deal with it.

I can’t stand my Mom who is trying to get me on disability and looks down on me so much that she thinks I can’t work. I have to spend with her at a family reunion and I’m not looking forward to it. I only look forward to seeing the beach.

Those are only a few of my life complaints. I’m going to sleep. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have been tired since Thursday. I have struggled to write or sleep at a decent hour at all. I can’t make myself eat. I have felt unwilling to face life for most of the days. I missed church. I’m afraid I won’t wake up on time for my interview tomorrow. I have been in pajamas all day. I have avoided seeing people since I’m doing laundry. I’m glad I’m living alone for right now because my family would judge me so hard if they could see me. I’ve been depressed about being in my early 30’s, jobless, struggling in my relationship, and having to depend on my Mom. What can I do?

I selected burnout because I do want advice. I’m early 30’s. My Mom is not threatening to send me to a home anymore, but she wants me to exaggerate to get the social security money my dad left us and then live with her the rest of my life. I feel like I’d rather have anything else happen.

I hate my autism. My Mom wants to be enmeshed with me and be best friends. I don’t. I have too many issues with her and I don’t know when her bipolar brain will flare up. I hate that I have to depend on her, this woman who has been verbally abusive to me and my boyfriend. He’s so tired of my mom that he wants nothing to do with her. He has issues of his own and I can’t help. If I weren’t autistic, I’d be supporting myself and would not have to deal with drama.

I hate how exhausting autism is. I hate that I struggle to focus because of ADHD too. I hate that I have meltdowns. I hate that I struggle to sleep or wake up on time. I hate that this week has been about recovering from my Mom’s visit. I hate that I have only been able to cope while keeping up with volunteering, Taekwondo, and working out. I want to do more and apply for more jobs. I have interviews coming up, but I feel hopeless. I want motivation to keep going, but God doesn’t always give me that either.

I don’t even feel like talking to people today. I am in the parking lot of a Michaels preparing to get stuff with a coupon I got for my birthday. I don’t want to deal with the drama from not talking to people later. I am so sick of being seen as a failure and feeling like I let everyone down. I have a more autistic friend who is so anxious and paranoid that she barely goes out in public and I cannot be there for her right now. I hate how much I struggle. I have other friends who can support me but I don’t have the strength to talk right now.

I hate dealing with the brain I have. When will I live up to my full potential?

Trigger warning for Family Drama and Verbal Abuse, I guess.

I'm living where I am now because my Mom sold the previous house after my Dad died. The plan was for me to get a job and take care of myself. It has taken me a while to adjust to living alone and tackle job hunting, but I'm getting the hang of it now. The house has to be sold because we can't afford it anymore. I understand that. We are all struggling financially. I had to give away something today so I could have money in my bank account.

However, what I don't understand is her telling me in front of my sisters that she and my Dad did everything for me (besides watch after my mental health, but that is a longer story), that I am unacceptable for being unemployed at my age, and basically that I'm a disappointment. She also made the threat that she would make me the ward of the state, and they would take away my car and put me in a group home. My Mom reiterated that when she called me, even after I texted her that I was heading to a job fair. It's only hitting me now how toxic my Mom is being. She now thinks I'm moving with her.

I talked to my boyfriend and my friends. They have helped me conclude that I need to stand up to my Mom, look for another place to live, and find a job. If I fail, I'll move with Mom, but I have to try. I just need all the support I can get right now. I got a pedicure as an early birthday present from my friend today. Her support meant a lot. But right now, I'm sitting on my bed feeling like I'm about to vomit. My Mom is coming on Sunday and I'm terrified.

Edit: I forgot to add why I hate my autism right now. If I had a normal mind, then I would be able to navigate this economic crisis and find a job. My family as a whole wouldn't look down on me. My Mom wouldn't see me as hopeless and would love me as I am. I could function well enough to pursue my dreams. I wouldn't be hated and seen as a baby to take care of. I wouldn't have to risk cutting off my Mom to stand up to myself. My whole family will hate me once I stand up to my Mom. I wish to God that my brain functioned normally. I wouldn't have been so bogged down in learning how to function.
