B!TC# IT OUT!

Naifra, I'm not trying to hate on mental health treatment. I'm sorry you've gotten so much shit for the medications your condition. I've been diagnosed with several different mental health conditions and was treated very differently by friends and family when I was on medication as well. It's hard for people to take it seriously when doctors are handing out antidepressants like candy now. At this rate, we'll all be taking antidepressants like it's ibuprofen in a few decades. For any rick and morty fans...



I'm not on anything anymore but I strongly believe if these medications are helpful to you then fuck the haters and do what you need to do to get through this life but try to enjoy it! We're all struggling here and drugged up in one way or another.

This semester of college has been a HUGE workload for me. Normally in college I will have a week here and there where I will be super busy, but this semester it is EVERY week and weekend that I am busy. I am a little upset about it for a few reasons...

The first reason is I wish I could dedicate more time to some of the art projects. I have been assigned some interesting projects this semester such as designing something for 3D printing, etc. I wish I had more time to devote to the cool assignments, but instead I am scrambling to get it done so I can move on to working on the projects in my other classes. I want to make it good enough that I want to keep it you know?

The second reason is I want chill time and I also want time to work on my own projects. At least once a week I get overwhelmed thinking of all the other things I have to do and want to do besides schoolwork. I still need to build an aviary, get better at sculpting, swim in my tail (reaaaally want to do that), work out, etc.

It is craziness. Just today from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm I have been working on homework. Of course I took a break to feed my birds and eat lunch and dinner, but yeah homework all day.

Luckily I think I am doing okay. At the beginning of the semester I had trouble getting into doing the work because I took summer courses and was ready for a break but I only got like a week off. Now I have a lot of drive to get the work done, but I just miss being free on the weekends. Then on the few days I finally don't have something to do, I am too tired to do anything.

I'll be okay, but it has really been exhausting.

Okay I have a rant. I have a friend "best friend" really. And all she does is talk about herself all and her problems. She never asks me about my day or my issues with work. When I had to put my cat to sleep, my husband was devastated, she came over the same day and told us how she was having a worse day...at work... while she cried about it (literally) on my patio, my cat was dead. She didn't even give me a chance to talk and when she did she would twist my story around about how her day was worse.
Now she is dating my husbands best friend. And they have been together for 3 months total, and they fight everyday, I know, because that's the only reason she ever hits me up. When she is feeling crappy and wants to be boosted. Not to just hang with me.
So he has and STD and she didn't have it, but she still doesn't want to take my advice on leaving him (such a toxic relationship ) and she stood by him even defending him!!
Anyway, that's just a little tidbit to fill you guys in. I had a dream last night I told her off and I yelled at her, and when I woke up I felt so good. Like in my dream I told her I didn't want to be her friend anymore.
And what bugs me the most is she blows off my job like anyone could do it. It's a pretty dangerous job if you don't know what you're doing. And if she tried it for a day she would quit.
Not only that, but she thinks this hobby is a pretty big joke. I should dump her.

I had a friend like that. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and she was my maid of honor. I was with her when she had her first child. We were really close.
It took me a really long time to realize that the friendship was so one sided. It really wasn't until I got busy with growing my family and didn't have time to cater to her that it all blew up. I ended up cutting her off 8 years ago. And occasionally I'll get a message "why aren't we friends anymore? I miss you, I'm so sad" and I used to engage and chat with her and it would just go right back to being all about her.

Cutting her off for the final time was the best thing I've ever done for my mental health. As a bonus it made me recognize the beginnings of those sorts sorts of relationships earlier on and I'm able to distance myself from those sorts of people. I call them "Small Dose Friends", as in I can be friendly but only in small doses.

Oh my god yes!!! I seriously can only handle her maybe once or twice every three weeks. Like I'm assuming that she is having pretty decent time right now since she hasn't hit me up for anything at all. Seriously like she posts on Fb all the time and talks about her "amazing vacation" (when she found out her by had huge std) and she is all "tra la la la I loved my first vacation!" But she blows up my phone when I'm with my husband about how terrible it was for HOURS.
Now that things are great I'm not her bff. But when it hits the fan, she needs me and I'm the only one that gets her.
I'm currently avoiding her. Nothing is going to change with this chick.

I wanted to reply to this earlier, but it's been hectic.

My best friend of seven years was (and still is - just not to me) emotionally abusive. She not only cared more about herself than anyone else, she would often use me to get guy friends in high school. She would tell them she could get them a date with me if they wanted and then would talk them up to me. They were always sleazy, immature guys and once I met them, I was smart enough to realize this so her plan to pimp me out always backfired. I never understood why she cared more about her standing with those weirdos than with me. She followed me to every school I switched to, and I switched a good four times. Then, she followed me to college. I realize now it was all for power. Anytime I had the courage to say something good about myself, she would assure me I was wrong. If I got upset at her, I was being an irrational woman. She got a mutual friend to agree for a while and now, she considers that friend of mine her best friend. If we hadn't been best friends since we were 8, she would have convinced her to dump me with the things she said about me. I thank God my reputation as an honest individual precedes me. She doesn't have the same luxury. It took God to show me how awful she was to me. I remember praying about it when she was getting jealous of my now-husband. I opened my Bible to Proverbs 27:17 NLT, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." It wasn't even something I was looking for. It hit me in that moment that God Himself was telling me, "Get out of this friendship! It's not this type of friendship! It's hurting you!" The next time I saw her, I finally told her we weren't good for each other and that we shouldn't be "best friends," a title she always gladly flaunted with me as though I was some sort of trophy. She stopped talking to me for a long time. We're acquaintances now because I refuse to be anywhere alone with her, but she's still part of my outer social circle. If I had my way, I would never have to see her again, but I have peace now about where we are. I know this story was long, but it's for anyone who feels they may be in an abusive relationship to know the damage that can come from it! It took me over two years and there are still residual effects that the Lord, my husband, and even for a short time, a psychiatrist have helped me through. I'm extremely thankful and I hope no one else is as naive as I was.

[Imogen Finnly]

Wow! She sounds like she has self esteem issues.
Thank you for sharing that! It was a very heart filled strong story!

I hate when that happens, especially if it's boring porn.

[Echidna]

Does non-boring porn exist? :O

I've seen some really funny parody porn films.

Just need to vent, feeling irritated because I asked husband to get baby settled in his crib so husband and I could get ready for bed and have some time to chat without wrangling kiddos, and instead he leaves me holding baby while he gets ready for bed and leisurely puts his left-over dinner away, so I finally just put baby down myself and when husband sees baby is already down, he just goes up to bed without so much as a "good night". :S
So now I'm staying up later to have some time to myself and try to de-irritate so I can go to bed.
