    my ex texted me saying he's going to kill himself, and he's said this before multiple times (and that isn't any better) and has never gone through with it, but it always makes me feels sick to my stomach. but, if he doesn't do it and comes back to apologize, i will cut contact with him, i can't deal with it anymore.

    tw: s/h mention
    Spoiler
    was helping a close friend of mine over the phone and they went “don’t worry i’m not a danger to myself. i don’t like hurting, i could never hurt myself.” and i KNOW it wasn’t meant to be a slight at me (they know about my struggles) but it still sorta stung. i had to step away for a moment because my immediate reaction was to say “oh so you’re too good for that?” and be spiteful. i hate that i thought of saying that and i hate that it bothers me.
    and it just felt so selfish (which makes sense!! they’re going through a hard time i can’t blame them) that they can callously say that. they can think “oh, i would never get that bad, i would never let that happen—“ i thought that too. and well, it happened.

    what genuinely pisses me off is that i know i deserve the food but im like well i'd be better without it and every bite i take i'm likie oh there's another few calories


    winterwolf0100 replied · Aug 20

    You're not better without it. Without it, you are dead. It's not a matter of deserving food, it is a matter of needing it <333 We cannot live without food. (Also, why would you want to? It tastes so good!!!)

    If you need an accountability buddy, I'm here. Let's do this together.

    A car can drive when the gas light is on until it runs out. That doesn’t mean it’s good to drive on empty.

    i think my parents still aren't able to fully grasp how truly little i learned in online school opposed to what they think.
    i don't know my times tables.

    EveryUsernameTaken replied · Aug 20

    1 time anything is the number itself. 1 x 15 = 15 for example. 2 is like adding two numbers together. 7 + 7 = 14 and 2 x 7 = 14. 3 is like adding three numbers of the same together (like two but three!) 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 and so 3 x 3 =9. It's just a quicker way to add, instead of saying 6 + 6 +6 +6 +6 = 30 you can say 5 x 6 = 30. +Something that helped me learned my times tables (may sound odd but..) was numberblocks.


    EveryUsernameTaken replied · Aug 20

    If your wondering why everything times one equal the same number like 1 x 16 = 16 it's because it's just one number there, the one is not another number. It's symbolizing how many numbers there are in the equation, 1! There is only one 16. 16 + nothing = 16. (some people do wonder for example my uncle once..)

    is the fact that my friend sends me humongous walls of text, only sometimes asks how i am amidst the one sided vents, they've sent 6,606 messages on discord and i've sent 3,000, and they disappear randomly then reappear and continue venting, enough reason to think they use me for venting? mind you, their vents aren't even serious, it's about their crushes/'obsessions.'
    this has went on for 5-6 years out of our 7 year friendship btw.

    RxketZcienc3 replied · Aug 13

    those don't sound like very good friends. I'm just kid so don't take my advice too seriously. But in a healthy friendship I think you should both be able to talk about your feelings and interests to eachother, and also tell each other when the other person is doing something that they don't like. I'm sorry you ended up in that position. I'm hfy if u need anyone to talk to :3


    EveryUsernameTaken replied · Aug 20

    You could tell them how you feel, no?

    I have been starting to develop a certain thinking. Anything I create will be cringe because I'm a teenager and (haha!) teenagers are "cringe" and by cringe I mean regretting something I say years later... it's probably why I'm so scared to touch my creations, I don't know.

    I just love talking and I don't have many people to talk to in my day to day life... nor (despite my massage of communication is everything) talk even to my parents much, and if I do it's mostly about general stuff and things we agree on (not that really is anything we disagree on just I don't speak about how I'm feeling on a day to day personal level.. I don't really ever do that) The only emotions I express are impatience, sarcasm, joy, sadness, anger the most basic stuff. The ones I don't are... well personal. Is this a flaw on my part? Should I not want validation on every thought that pops on my head? But I want that. I want to rant and hear the replies and comments... does the problem stem from that my parent's are both introverts? Is the extrovert-introvert personality traits even reliable?! Let's say for simplicity's sake, yes.

    Another thing maybe it's because I recover from emotions so fast I tend to remember my story ideas from when I had that emotion as "oh, I don't have that emotion anymore so I won't be able to create an authentic story of those emotions." sooo... do I have a problem? Why do I crave feedback? Is it from my time when I used AI?

    EthanWrites replied · Jul 19

    Coming from someone who is now almost 22 who was on this website at 17. It’s not wrong to seek validation for the things you write, and this website is (or at least was from my memory) great for that. Many supportive people are on here. Introvert and extrovert do typically work, but it’s more of a slider than one or the other, and you’ll find your people. I truly hope you find them. I don’t regret what I wrote on here years later, I’m sure you won’t :)

    Hi guys I'm looking for advice here. TW su!c!d3
    So I have a girlfriend, and for a little backround, we both are struggling with our mental health and we're both in the process of getting adhd/autism diagnosis' and stuff, and neither of us are probably in the right situation to be in a relationship but yeah. We have really open conversations about everything and we can talk to each other which I am so grateful for because I've never had that before.

    My girlfriend always calls me or texts me if shes not feeling well. And I often stay up late to try and comfort her,
    but these last two months or so its gotten worse

    TW!!
    she has attempted a few times lately, and I'm really worried, and I don't know what to do. I know I probably should tell an adult or something. And I will if it's really bad. But anytime I say I'm gonna wake my mom, she says she'll never talk to me again if I do. And I don't want to break our trust unless it's absolutely necessary.

    I will also say that she is in the system for mental health and stuff and she is going to get help for other stuff soon. And her parents know shes struggling.

    if anyone knows what I should do next time she calls me about this, or in general, I'd really appreciate it

    EveryUsernameTaken replied · Jul 13

    Well, personally if I were in this situation I would maybe leave the relationship if it was causing more distress and overall stress. Of course I would keep on contact with them if they still wanted that relationship and overall I would hope we both find ways to make us both find the joys on life and strength each other. Even if one person does that it helps, I'm sure it does. I personally have no experience with anything similar to this.


    RxketZcienc3 replied · Jul 13

    Thank you so much for replying! I'm so glad you took the time!


    winterwolf0100 replied · Jul 14

    Hi, I missed this post somehow. Want to say that 1) I am AuDHD as well so I completely understand how navigating that can be difficult, especially while in a relationship. I am going to be honest. It is already bad enough. I know it’s difficult, but telling an adult is the right thing to do at this point. It is better for her to no longer trust you but be alive than for her to trust you and keep causing pain to herself and you.

    You are not equipped or trained to handle this type of situation. I know you care about her, and it’s very valiant and sweet that you want to help. The best way you can do that at this point though is by telling an adult. Nobody can fix someone else’s mental health for them. As much as it is painful to hear, it has to be an internal thing (along with seeking health from professionals and medication, of course.) It is possible that medication or a therapist or any number of things could significantly improve life for her but there is no way to know without an adult becoming involved. It will feel like breaking her trust, but sometimes, loving someone means they’re going to be angry at you. Do it anyway. It’s a big difference between people knowing she’s struggling vs. people knowing that she has attempted. She needs help that you cannot give her.

    If you need any help or someone to talk to, I’m here and my PMs are always open!


    RxketZcienc3 replied · Jul 18

    Hi! I talked to her parents (not because of this post dw) and I think her parents kinda didn’t really care, but it’s all good now

    I need some advice, the girl I’m talking to is usally really happy but recently she been really down, she isn’t sleeping well, she either doesn’t eat or she eats too much. And I also struggle with bad mental health but I want to help her, I just don’t know how. I’ve tried talking to her but she doesn’t want help. Idk how to help someone who won’t except it. I also don’t want to be pushy, I’m just worried about her.

    winterwolf0100 replied · Jul 11

    I completely understand this situation. It’s difficult to help people who don’t want to accept it. Currently, you can make sure you’re always a safe person to talk to for her and try to be supportive how you can. Remember you can’t fix her problems for her, however lovely that would be. If there’s someone who might have more sway over her you could contact, you could also let them know your concerns. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this <33


  • winterwolf0100 replied · Jul 4

    I completely get this feeling :/
