I, 26M, have been single since I was 17 and havent been on a single date or even had a romantic conversation with a woman since high school. I thought it might be interesting to talk with other people about it here. Im already past the point of desperation, have accepted being alone, and I blame nobody.
Im laying awake typing this with guilt eating at me. I moved into my first apartment in April of 2025. From the first week I lived here, I kept smelling weed, sour trash and cat poop in my apartment. I knew both neighbors below me had multiple cats, and both smoked weed. I dont smoke weed or have any pets, and Im very clean.
I complained to management several times about these smells, assuming they were coming from directly below me. I talked with management probably nearly 20 times to report the smells were back and usually worse. I never accused one single person and told management clearly that I wasnt exactly sure who it was.
Tonight I went outside to smoke, and while talking with another neighbor, I was confronted by the one who lives below me. What started out as an argument turned into a constructive conversation that revealed different neighbors were actually responsible for all the nasty stuff I was smelling, and there was video proof. Yet appearently management never thought to ask me anymore questions and dumped all my complaints on this neighbor without really investigating further. This resulted in her getting an eviction notice recently.
Im so racked with guilt and its eating at me. I got someone kicked out of their apartment and theres nothing I can do to fix it. I even told management the entire time I wasnt trying to get anyone kicked out, I just wanted the odor issue resolved. And now Ive made a huge negative impact in someone's life. I dont know what to do. Im angry that management didnt ask me any more questions or organize some kind of clearer communication. They have a social worker specifically for that.
I'll never be free of this kind of guilt
Ive lived in my first apartment for just over a year now and I keep getting the old tenants mail. The post office gave me this form to fill out saying only to deliver mail with my name on it, and I gave it to them. Yet I keep getting stuff at least once a week, and its always stuff to do with health insurance or mental health services (I know from the envelopes, Im not opening anything). Several times Ive even written "Return to Sender" on the envelopes and a couple times the same letters are back in my mail box the next day.
​
At this point Ive got a stack of mail for this guy. Ive heard he was a real weirdo too so Im not too keen on trying to find him on social media.
​
Any suggestions on what I could do?
Id just like to say, if you happened to be at the Morse High School graduation today, and you're the person who got called out to meet with Bath PD just before the ceremony started because you left your dog in your car on an 80⁰ day, I sincerely hope you got in some deep shit. Other people had dogs there and you could have easily brought it with you.
​
Just know I hope you heard the people mumbling and booing as you made your way back towards the parking lot.
I recently decided to experiment with taking Benfotiamine (150 mg) to see if it would help with my Dysautonomia and suspected Gastroparesis symptoms. I started about 4 days ago and Ive noticed some weird changes, but Im unsure if its from the Benfotiamine or something else.
My biggest issues are really bad insomnia, where Im really struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep. I also feel emotionally blunted.
Now on the other hand, Im on a medication called Anastrozole because my Estradiol was too high (Im on TRT). Supposedly this medication can cause the exact same symptoms.
Ive been taking Magensium Glycinate for around 4 years now before bed, so Ive been pairing it with the Benfotiamine as Ive read its really encouraged.
Is any of this common when starting supplumentation? Im already reaching out to my doctor but Im curious about other people's experiences
Ive been on TRT for about 4 months now. Right now I take 0.4 ml subcutaneous twice a week, as well as Anastrozole twice a week. I was on Clomid twice a week in the beginning but that shit made me feel crazy.
Doctor told me when I first started that I had to exercise while on TRT, but I struggle to because of other health issues, which I told him about, and he just said we had to watch my Estrogen. A few weeks ago he checks my Estradiol and it came back at 61.5, so he put me on the Anastrozole.
The only noticeable positive changes are a sharp increase in sex drive, and my facial hair growing much fuller and faster. But I still have low energy and trouble getting even basic exercise.
Now after a few weeks on the Anastrozole, I just cant sleep (havent slept more than 3 hours a night in 4 or 5 days now) and I have to pee every frigging hour.
Am I on a crap regimen? Should I consider finding a new doctor?
Buzzword Bobby decided to post a video outside of a now closed down day care in Caribou, compaining about how the Democrats are responsible for the lack of child care funding in rural Maine. The picture posted here is a comment from the former owner of the very day care he was talking about. His response to this comment was a whole lot of nothing but deflection.
Scribbled out the person's name and profile picture for privacy
Edit: Ive copied and pasted Bobby's response here. Yes, all the spelling mistakes are his...
"Democrats have controlled the Governorship, House, Senate and DHHS, as well as all ties to the federal government. If you needed help, and you clearly did, their total control of government seems ti have produced nothing. I read the reports and applaud you for reaching to them. But to speak bluntly, Edie tally after Democrats shut down 55 percent our all Maine businesses, they are all talk. They very obviously (1) did not push the bills to passage - with a monopoly in power, (2) did not convince their Democrat Governor you mattered - and dozens just like you; or (3) they realm do not care. He made 160,000 in travel costs with a probate home in Augusta, then flipped that for a 100,000 profit … Ler me ash you, given his reputation, what do you think he REALLY cares about? You or him? MAINERS (with 22 years as an Augusta insider watching all our systems fail) or himself? 🤔"
People of the Brunswick Wal-Mart, hear ye hear ye, for I have several proclamations for thee.
If your toddler is screaming bloody murder so loud that I cant hear the person Im with, please leave the store or soothe your kid.
Other people speak Spanish. We can hear the nasty shit youre yelling to each other in the next aisle over.
Nobody wants to hear your loud story about being arrested for public intoxication this past weekend.
Dont huff at me because you walked into me because were looking down at your phone instead of looking at your surroundings.
Dont stand in the middle of the aisle and act like Im the one in your way.
Thank you for your time and attention
So I, 26M, gained over a hundred pounds as a result of psychiatric medication I was on a few years ago. Im no longer on the meds (with doctors guidance, I didnt just hop off them). However I actually sustained nervous system damage as a result of over medication. This makes exercise basically impossible due to severe Dysautonomia, as well as light sensitivity.
I actually have a relatively good diet now that Im off the meds, and Im not constantly snacking like I used to. I actually focus quite a bit on protein and fiber and really dont go for sweet stuff that often. My diet isnt the healthiest but its also not comprised of junk food.
Im severly insulin resistant, as my last level tested at 52, though somehow my fasting blood sugar is totally normal. Im 280 pounds and my doctors are asking me to consider a GLP. My main concern is, could I even lose weight if I'm not exercising at all beyond basic household chores? I spend a lot of time laying down, though Im trying to work on it. I dont want to take this if its just going to make me feel nauseous and give me a stomach ache.
