Hi everyone, I’m looking for a roommate (20s-30s) to share my 3bd 1.5ba house in Buena Vista. I’m asking $800 a month (includes rent and utilities). The house is about 1300 square feet. There is a large yard and a garage to park in. I have one dog who’s a sweetheart and one cat. You’re welcome to bring 1-2 cats but no other pets please.
Move in date: ASAP
Message me for more information!
My girlfriend is coming off of a manic episode and going into a depressive episode. She recently went through a bad breakup with someone she was supposed to get engaged to. Now her uncle died. She is pushing away her loved ones and saying drastic things like “fuck everything” and “leave me to die alone” and “I’m not going to bother you with my problems” even though I remind her every day that I’m here for her and I want to continue to be here for her. She says “I need to end this before my sickness and darkness bleeds all over you and your life. I am meant to be alone forever and always.”
I’m worried about her. This is a LOT. A depressive episode is bad enough. Then throw losing a close family member on top of that. How can I best support her?
What do you say to your significant other when they are in a depressive episode? They have bipolar. What do you say when they are telling you that they feel worthless and are trying to push you away? What do you say when they are insisting that they are a lunatic who doesn’t deserve love?
I think this means my girl and I really like each other. We aren’t officially exclusively dating yet but we told each other that we want to have that conversation soon. Like we can’t go 2 hours without texting each other right now. I think once we get settled down and more time passes we will be able to have more time apart, but right now it’s very intense and all-consuming lol. I love talking to her.
I hadn’t come across this gem until today. I fw it heavy!! Anyone else?
Tonight I ate a bowl of microwave rice (the kind that’s flavored and comes in a packet), a chopped bell pepper and a tin of Vienna sausages. Sometimes this is all I can manage to feed myself, but at least it’s something!
I want to hear from you all!
UPDATE: Thank you sm guys. I would say you don’t know how helpful this, but I’m pretty sure you do. So thank you
I’m in love with the song “we” from the divine feminine. Anyone else?
I’m just so attracted to my girlfriend. I have so much affection to give her. It just comes naturally. And I’m so turned on because she feels the same way toward me. We cannot stop texting each other. We make time to see each other regularly despite our busy schedules. I just find her to be so incredibly sexy. I love to love on her. She’s so beautiful. I’m literally in awe of her. I want to be with her all the time. Does anyone else know this feeling?
I get so annoyed when acne appears on and around my lips. I think it’s because I used too much Vaseline trying to keep my lips soft. But I also think it’s just my hormonal acne acting up due to stress. It’s painful and it looks horrible and I always worry my SO doesn’t want to kiss me. I feel so insecure because of it. It’s so obvious when I’m interacting face to face with customer service at my job. I feel gross. I have small lips to begin with and this just makes me feel even more unattractive. Anyone else?
My partner is SUPER ashamed of their bipolar disorder, especially the depressive episodes. They feel like isolating is their only choice bc they don’t want to take anyone down into that dark place with them. I just want to be there for them. It’s hard to let them take that space.
tl;dr my friend (soon to be roommate) and girlfriend aren’t getting along
Hey everyone, just looking for some advice here. My girlfriend and my friend recently met each other and we all hung out. We played some games together and there was a “who is most likely to…?” game. Since it was their first time meeting, it was a little awkward with some of the cards because they didn’t really know each other. I still thought we had a good time. A few days later, my friend tells me that they thought a few of the things that my girlfriend said that night were rude. She is has social anxiety so I would understand if that played a role in things. However, anything that she is feeling is totally valid regardless, and I would never want my girlfriend to say anything rude to my friend. That being said, I did not notice any of the rude comments, but I did notice that the interactions between my girlfriend and friend felt a little uncomfortable at times. I am really happy that my friend told me how they’re feeling because now we can try to find a way through this. I am hoping that maybe we can all talk at some point or that she can talk to my girlfriend about what was bothering her. I will also keep an eye out to see if my girlfriend says anything rude next time and try to just be perceptive of that possibility and call her out if that’s the case. It is hard being uncertain right now because my friend is going to be roommates with me soon. She tells me that she feels uncomfortable and is anxious about moving in because my girlfriend is going to be around and she isn’t sure if they are getting along. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this? If so, do you have any words of wisdom?

Has anyone done this with kids at your library? For Unearth a Story, we’re inviting toddlers and families to “hatch” eggs made with baking soda paste using vinegar. A toy dinosaur is hidden inside. If anyone has done this before, how did it go? Did you use eye droppers or spray bottles for the vinegar? Any words of wisdom gained from the experience? Thanks in advance!
I don’t know if the flair I chose is accurate. I perceive my strong dislike of FaceTime as a sensory issue that triggers discomfort in me. I do not like holding my phone up to my face or sitting in front of a computer talking to friends or family. It is okay when I have a Zoom call for work or a therapy appointment. But it feels different with friends and family. It feels so personal yet so impersonal. I feel deeply uncomfortable with FaceTime. I often try to hide the little screen that shows my face so I’m not as self-conscious. The way I feel about FaceTime sometimes interferes with my ability to stay connected with my long-distance friends. I will not initiate a FaceTime call even though they like to.
My friend and I met on bumble bff five months ago. We have talked daily since. When we met in person a month after starting to talk, we hit it off instantly. We were both in serious relationships at the time and hung out with our partners a couple times. We both ended up separating from our partners around the same time, which was strange timing. It really had nothing to do with knowing each other; it was purely circumstantial in regard to what was already happening in our individual relationships. We had discussed how much we both wanted a true friendship. We have also supported each other through our breakups and are about 1-2 months out of it now. We're still healing. At the same time, we have been enjoying a strong connection... and the more we talk, the more compatible we feel with each other. Today I think we shared feelings with one another. I didn't say it outright, and she didn't either, but I think something more than a platonic relationship might be developing. It's simultaneously welcome and exciting and makes us happy; and is also bad timing because we are both not ready for a new relationship. I am savoring the moments now as they are, without pushing anything. I'm letting it develop but I'm being careful not to confess any feelings in plain terms... I know it doesn't need to go that route because I need to take time to heal from my recent breakup. And she does too. We just understand each other on a deep level already, and in this world it's difficult to find someone like that by chance.
I leave my phone outside of my bedroom when I sleep. I have a regular alarm clock. Not using my phone in the bedroom improves the quality of my sleep and rest. However, I worry about missing a call from a friend or family member in an emergency. What is your routine for turning off your phone (silencing, focus mode, or completely off) before bed and putting it away? What do you do to allow yourself to be notified in the event of emergencies - do you forward your smartphone calls to a prepaid flip phone? If so, how does that work? Thanks everyone
