I've been friends with her for like a year now and as much as I do care about her no matter what I say it's always "it could be worse". Don't get me wrong I didn't mind the first few times and she's not doing it on purpose which makes it all the more frustrating. I hate it so bad when I'm trying to vent or just generally talk to her about being frustrated and things her first instinct is to compare it to her own things for absolutely no reason. It's gotten to the point I'm not longer able to text her without feeling like blowing up because she's said it every day I've texted her for like a week. I understand she's just trying to help the only way she knows how but I can't do it. I'm struggling really badly with depression and grief but somehow she's always worse off. I was ranting about working 10 hours over the weekend and how I was tired because I've barely been able to socialise with people, much less do it with a smile on my face. (By the way I'm aware this is nothing compared to others. I've been asking for more hours I am trying to get better also.)

I've been kinda ignoring her when she texts because she only really texts me to vent about her issues or make jokes about my antidepressants making me feel different which I'm fine with to an extent however it does just kinda pile on when I've got other stuff going on.

I struggle at my job anyway because of my workplace being kinda toxic and feeling like an outsider at work but it just seems I can't talk to anyone. I've tried so hard to put it across to her that no I don't appreciate it but I don't want to lash out at her for this but I feel like I'm going to and I don't wanna hurt her feelings.

Please don't use this post to compare yourself to me also. This isn't a "I'm worse, end of story" kinda thing. I know everyone has stuff going on it just seems like with all the support I gave her she doesn't care or she doesn't want to listen.

My family dog is a border collie and she spends a lot of time indoors unfortunately due to people not being around to train her and be around her which is something I'm trying to work around because she deserves the absolute best. The only problem is that I work and go to college so I'm unfortunately not available most days until it's too dark to go out and I don't feel safe walking her at night or early mornings and she does get at least 1 walk a day but I don't think that's enough. I try to give her plenty of enrichment as I know how distressed dogs get by lack of enrichment and I feel so guilty about her being so bored all the time. She's recently started herding my animals, I have 4 chickens and a cat and while the chickens don't really mind unless she's getting in their face the cat HATES it and tries to claw at her.

I know it's unfortunate to have both the cat and the dog but the cat was a rescue and can't be given to another home due to attachment issues we're working on. He's settled and as much as he does make it slightly more difficult to train her we love him as much as we love the dog. By the way the cat lives in a separate part of the house and they only really meet in the garden.

Anyway I was looking into training the dog with a herding ball to help her work off energy in a healthy way. She has a puzzle toy she loves and I was also looking into a snuffle mat which could be used when we're away to reduce stress for her. I really don't want her to start doing stereotypical behaviours so I was just wondering if there a herding ball would be a good idea.

I've been working in a restaurant for a few weekends and unfortunately I don't think I can work there anymore. My mental health has been really awful due to personal reasons and the work environment at the restaurant is extremely sour.

the texts: my work has a group chat which the supervisor and other staff usually talk on but it's mostly used by my boss to talk down to people. In most cases yes it can be the person's fault however the way they talk is really unprofessional. My own experience is that my boss kept texting everyone's mistakes on the group chat instead of directly messaging them to sort out the problem and I'm so sick of it. There was an issue with my proof of address despite being told unclear instructions on what exactly they needed for my paperwork. I provided them with 3 lots of proof and when I went on holiday they were still messaging on the group chat and getting upset that I hadn't yet sent a bank statement despite me telling them I was on holiday with little to no signal to send them one which I did remind them of. It's clear that they don't like me and I'm really upset as I'm much younger than them (I'm 18) in the way they talk to me and are around me.

I have seen them talking about me (technically Whispering) to eachother right in front of me. My boss is kinda unprofessional in the way she speaks to me and often tries to order me around when I'm doing what she's going to tell me what to do. I just hate working there overall to be honest, it's really hard to talk to anyone about it since I feel like if I tell someone at work they'll tell my boss immediately and get me into trouble. At work it feels like there's a bubble with all the rest of the staff in and I'm not part of it. Is this a valid reason to leave? I'm so tired

I ordered something on the 21st with 48 post or smth like that and it's now the 26th. No sign of it other than messages that it's at my local DO (it's been there for 2 days and got there before the timeframe they stop posting). I need to get it before anyone else living on my house gets it as it's a chest binder and they're transphobic/unsupportive of me being trans. I'm really conscious of the time it is normally shipped in being around the time my parents are home and I'm worried. I keep getting no updates, just that it's ready to deliver at any point. Helpp

I lost my brother to suicide in may. I feel so sick because we used to be "friends" with someone who would constantly tell us to "kill yourselves" and he made it known that he was uncomfortable with it but they kept doing it. I know it wasn't just this that factored why he ended his life but I know it contributed in a way and I'm so fucking angry and disgusted. For context the girl who was telling us to do that was friends with my gf at that time and made an awkward barrier between me and my gf so I could never approach her about her actions without her crying to my gf playing victim. I won't go into detail but we ultimately stopped being friends with the girl and my gf broke up with me not long after. I'm angry because before she was my gf, my ex before her told us all to do the same thing and my gf (not gf at the time) stated she was also uncomfortable with it leading to me breaking up with my ex. All this happened yet my gf at that time still sided with the girl who told us to end our lives and basically cut all contact with us.

On the same day we found out my brother had taken his life the girl was near my sister and shouted at her to "kill yourself" as well. She hasn't changed a bit and has never seen a consequence for her actions ever. She's the most spoilt, ungrateful horrible girl ever and those who still hang out with her just to coddle her feelings are just as bad as her.

To those people you know who you are and you do not get to feel sorry for yourselves that you "didn't know what he was going through". He was visibly uncomfortable and asked multiple times for you to stop that. You did not know him and you don't get to grieve like you were best friends now he's gone. He hated you and I will also for the rest of my life. Moreover, my ex's friends and my ex keeps viewing my profile all the time on Tiktok on alt accounts which pisses me off. If you cared you would leave me tf alone as I don't want to associate with any of you as I have said.

I need to get this parcel asap since it's a chest binder (I'm genderfluid) and I NEED to be home so my parents don't receive it. I've just had a whole two days of the house to myself but instead of the parcel being delivered when I'm home and alone (prime time) it's been sat at the centre waiting to be delivered for the last 2 days. I'm impatient asf and also paranoid that my parents are going to be home when it's delivered and figure out what it is. I'm at work over this weekend on the hours that they usually deliver and my parents AREN'T AT WORK. I'm so frustrated with it

I (18) had a drink and my mum found the bottle and instead of reacting like anyone else she decided that I've "turned to drink" and that I think it's a "solution to your problems". Hello? It's below the daily recommended dose, it's the same amount as 1 cider. She said she's upset I think I have to drink in secret but duh I'm gonna drink occasionally in secret if it means you're going to react like this and call me an alchie every time I drink. I haven't drank over the recommended amount ever and haven't drank in literally weeks btw. She's overacting so bad and I'm so pissed off. For fucks sake it was 1 drink and just because I'm ever so slightly tipsy she's mad
