I haven't. Is it similar to a PG test?

Are you taking anything for fertility? I realize it may be a little scary at first to take fertility sups but talk to your doctor about what he/she recommends!

Also, if you aren't already, track your cycles and ovulation. There are plenty of apps that help track everything and even have forums for women.

It'll happen, just stay optimistic and as stress free as possible.

This, completely. My sister is 16 and is now pregnant. Trust me, it's really great that she stood her ground. I'm (virtually) super proud of her strength.

As a way of bonding, (and kind of scaring her into waiting) I'm having her help deliver my baby in September. The doctor will be there to guide her, but she's the one who will be getting her hands dirty. Sending her the virtual pride! Lol

At least the asshat wasn't conniving enough to play along that everything was hunky dory all the way through prom in hopes of getting "some" and THEN dumping her. B/c that would definitely be worthy of a major beatdown.

That, I am so thankful for. I would've thrown him to the sharks if that were the case.
And- my stupid ass bought the little shit a pure bred German shepherd for Christmas because my sister didn't have the money to. So he got a free dog out of the whole thing as well. 😣

I have to admit I giggled a bit.
And yeah, it sucks but it's true. Usually they turn out to be jerks or really creepy :/

I know it, luckily my husband (whom I lost my virginity to in high school) stayed by my side, even when I was a total d-bag to him.
But I've had to help really close friends out of situations caused by jerks and creeps in high school.

Pretty similar actually.

Hey, so I guess I'm back again...

I've had one relationship ever. It lasted 4 months and I saw him a total of 3 times. He lived an hour away. I wasn't allowed to call or video chat, just text. He refused to be affectionate with me in front of his family and spent more time on Yugioh than me. It was very hard on me.

That was two years ago, and I'm still alone. I joined OKC a while back to try and find someone, and yesterday, I updated my profile to include mermaiding.

I got a message from a Navy wannabe (18) that said "r u a real mermaid" and I sent him a picture of me and my tail. He replied with "So you're part fish, part whale?"

I'm so discouraged and depressed and lonely...I've been crying and sleeping all day and I don't want to do this anymore...

Ugh!!! Guys are jerks! Especially young guys lol. I'm not one to give dating advice since I'm single and not even trying to date, but the fact that people keep falling in love and getting married tells me it IS possible! In my own case I got tired of dating and getting disappointed so decided I'll just work on my own health and self image issues and when the time is right it will happen. For years my grandma said "If god wants me to remarry, he'll send someone knocking on my door!" So one day an old friend looks her up and they start dating. When he proposed he said "Merilyn, I'm knocking!"
So I guess what I'm saying is he's out there somewhere. Find yourself a nice fish!

No. Just effing no. Okay? Can someone get me a hefty rubberband to castrate his ass?

Honey, do NOT let some ass bring you down. Okay? And certainly dont let him make you want to quit mermaiding.

You are damn gorgeous, and that ass has no say.

Google Tess Holiday and "Eff your beauty standards"
Someone photoshopped her face on ursulas body. Guess what? She just responded "ursula was a bad ass."

First off;
Whales are majestic and graceful as hell. Not to mention beautiful and smart as well.

Second off;
Tell him to eat a wang. And don't let some little "navy wannabe" get to you.

But you ARE useful and important! I understand needing love. Feeling alone is a terrible thing. It's so hard to be single when everyone around you has someone.

Coming out of my... what, two month lurking stint to just hop in here and go



I'm just so frustrated with everything. The last few months have basically been hell on earth, and juuuuuuuuuust when I start thinking that things are getting back together in a relatively normal sense... something else blows up.

And there's no escape from it. Get tired of the family drama involving a certain drug-abusing sibling and decide to just back away and focus on my friends for a while? SURPRIIIISE, a thirty-second argument with one of my best friends that leaves me stranded on the other end of town with no ride home has turned into a full-fledged Civil-War-esque clusterfuck that's tearing my closest circle of friends apart and even drove one of my other best friends into a suicidal mental breakdown! Try to get away from that crap and just bury myself in work? SURPRIIIISE, my hours are screwed around, so the weekends I previously had off I'm now stuck scheduled with a bunch of part-timers who give zero shits about what they're doing, throw their work on me, make a mess of LITERALLY EVERYTHING and continually piss off customers and make ME look bad.

For the last I've-Officially-Lost-Fucking-Track-Now, literally all of my free time when I'm not at work has been spent curled up in my room, curtains drawn and lights off not talking to people because I'm an anxious, depressed mess. I've lost more weight than I thought was possible for me, in such a short period of time, and it's making me nervous. Like, my nerves are completely shot, I feel ready to just start picking fights with people and I feel like that's getting really obvious in the way that I interact with people at work.

I've been in a really unstable mental state for way too long and it's to the point now where I've had to hunt down my little slip of paper with the emergency numbers on it to keep nearby "just in case." Literally every aspect of my social and professional life feels like it's being held together with rubber bands and chewing gum and I'm an anxious, paranoid mess just waiting for it all to crumble apart completely.

Like, I've been trying to handle this stuff as coolly and maturely as possible. But right now I just wanna pick fights and break stuff and angry-yell until the neighbors are filing noise complaints.

I'd say this shit was driving me to drink, except that I've had to be up for work at like 5AM and now tomorrow and Sunday I'm gonna need to be up at like 4:15 because I have even earlier shifts so I can't even touch the stuff.

So here I am in bed, staring at my laptop and complaining on the internet because it feels like that's about all I can do right now.


(also damnit MN stop signing me out when I'm trying to post, I'm about this close to just rage-pitching my laptop out the window.)

[Shimmer Mermaid]

We love you though, have some of the cake I made for our gender reveal. Its blue like the ocean ❤

[The Water Phoenix]

A sleep deprived me got woken up by freaking rats in the ceiling of my room at 2 am in the morning! I swear there has to be more than one because a single rat couldn't have made such a racket. The rats only seem to be in the ceiling of MY room, annoyingly. So at 2 am, I took my blankets down to the lounge room and slept on the couch ( It took a while to find a comfortable position since I'm longer than the couch. My dad found me sleeping there this morning. I asked him to put some rat poison up in the roof. The weather here in Australia is getting colder because we are going into winter.

[Mermaid Clara]

So I'm spending the night at my bff's apartment and her roommates are so annoying and gross and I usually keep food or leftovers in her little cabinet thing which they let her move in to their place and she only has like once cabinet too keep her non refrigerated foods and med while they have al the other cabinets. She is always embarrassed to have me over because they leave the sink, kitchen and living room full of dirty dishes and trash. She's always the one cleaning up and cleaning the bathroom which they never clean. They also got a huge dog which was in a family with a huge house and lots of land before the roommate got him, the dog chewed up and tore off the door frame on the front door and he has fleas. The cat that they already have never has a clean littler box and the master bedroom always smells like cat urine and feces and the smell also drifts into the living room. My friend is the only one who gives the cat any love and attention because my friend's roommate/friend got bored of the cat and got the dog without even asking my friend. One last thing I'm pissed about is that the roommates also will eat any food I leave, even when it's in Emily's cabinet, and I'm over at least two or more times a week.

I'll say a prayer that your friend gets a new place. They sound like not only terrible roommates, but just plain inconsiderate people. And your friend is their Cinderella. Not okay.

[Hydra1337]

Definitely not okay. I hope your friend takes that poor kitty out of there when she leaves.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

So. My environmental science class has a field trip to a wolf sanctuary today. Been waiting for it all year. And of course I have food poisoning.

[MerMaiden Lissa]

I had so many plans for the day, but I woke up to acid rain! ...not really, but that's what it feels like with rheumatoid arthritis. It's all flared up today
Stupid rain! Stupid body!

The appropriate reply would have been: "and there's the reason you can't get a girlfriend..." Followed by: "at least I'm actually living my dream and not just being a pathetic little wannabe."

Guaranteed, he won't get far with dating. Ever.

I'm in my early 30s now and I've never been on a date. The closest I'll ever have to a family of my own is my group of pet rats. And do you know what? I'm fine with that. Yes, it can feel depressing when you think nobody is ever going to really want you, or look at you as if you're the most important thing in the world to them, but it does give you the freedom to be who you want to be, and do the things you want to do without having to worry about someone else. Having a partner isn't the be all and end all. If you're not happy on your own, having a partner isn't likely to fix everything and make you happy. You need to learn to love yourself and find out what truly makes you happy. ❤️
