Im banned from a rather large Con for posting a joke about a celebrity fucking con girls on their facebook wall. They went through my facebook and because of all the heinous shit I joke about on there, tried to report me to the police as a psycho, even though I use a fake name and info on facebook, they recognized me in my photos, asked around, and found me out. Not that it matters, as I haven't done anything illegal, or even libelous by law since what I joked about was true, which is why the celebrity got so pissed about it and brought down the banhammer. It's not a big deal, but stupid enough that I roll my eyes at the entire situation.

Man years ago, when I was a 13-14 year old weeaboo, I was really irresponsible, would set up cosplay photoshoots with local photographers and then not show up a lot of the times due to forgetfulness or poor planning. I'm a lot more responsible now, but all the photographers in the area now refuse to work with me and I can't get a decent pic of so many of my costumes.

2013 I had a shitty job and ended up extremely depressed. Eventually I was laid off. Due to my depression I haven't draw anything since maybe mid 2012? That fact alone has me feeling depressed.

Gained some weight. 140 at 5'5". Been trying to lose weight. Added regular jogging several times a week and kick boxing once a week. I eat better thanks to my SO. He says I am looking better. My stamina is better which is a happy NSV for me. But I recently went to the doctor and haven't lost anything. Now I keep seeing myself as a fat piece of shit.

I haven't cosplayed this year and won't be.

My insurance won't cover the antidepressants I need and had been on for a year. So now I am on a less effective one.

I've been dealing with some medical issues lately. Doctor thought it was a kidney infection and later a stomach virus. Happening again and this time they aren't sure why. I'm so nauseated and in pain all the time.

I'm sad about the state of my local community. I used to defend cosplay here on the basis that it wasn't like the competitiveness, vanity and cattiness I'd seen from the American community. We had nothing to compete over, with really shit prizes in our masqs that had no value. Although we had skilled cosplayers and attractive cosplayers, nobody was a "big name."

Nowadays it's all people trying to fasttrack via the Nigri Path to Fame and Fortune. They're obsessed with their fanpages, updating constantly to make sure at least one post makes it to their followers' feeds per day, talking about their "fans," thanking people for every minor milestone in their "like" count, doing giveaways to drive up their numbers, and so on. They suck up to photographers solely for the sake of creating new content for their pages. They're rowdy drunk teenagers broadcasting their babby binge-drinking antics to the world with an unhealthy side of "I HAVE POOR SELF-ESTEEM, NOTICE MEEEE."

Christ, I miss when my community was chill and nobody was such a tryhard. It makes me not want to bother with local cons anymore.

My dad just got laid off and we were already poor enough (extra hours here I come)

I'm getting fat.
I've gained 5 pounds since uni got out for the summer because I no longer leave the house unless I absolutely must.
I don't have any excuses about how I'm exercising but it's not working; I am just plain lazy and like rice crackers too much. The heat and my lack of friends in town has only made the situation worse by sapping me of motivation. I already don't fit into some of my smaller dresses that well, so I'll probably be fucked by the time school starts up again.

People are always talking behind my back but right now it's a bullshit ex-friend who decided that guilt tripping me into making shit for free was totally fine, and that I was abusive when I cut them out. Fucking psycho said they have people 'watching' me , saying that cosplay has changed me for the worse and that I'm a backstabbing attention whore fat shamer. Literally I don't know why people are stupid enough to believe it but they've been publicly posting about how shitty I am with no proof for months now and I'm fucking sick of it. Thanks for being a good friend, I guess.
This guy uses people to get free hotel stays, free food, free commissions and materials and labor, and yet THEY are the victim? Haaahaha no. It's just beginning to creep me out how obsessed they are with revenge because I insulted them by getting rid of them. That friendship was emotionally draining, I gained like 20 pounds over the course of half a year, they started alienating me and blaming ME for their shitty life, guilt tripping me into making them shit and then smearing my name to mutual friends when I was done with it.

Then my best friend suddenly got a girlfriend, and now he won't even talk to me anymore. My other friends started hanging out with him and his new girlfriend all the time, and now they never want to see me or invite me to anything. I call or text them often, but they either never reply or just cancel on any plans we make. I'm starting to think they hated me all along, and now that a new, more fun girl is in the picture, they don't need me anymore. I'm lonely as fuck, and haven't seen anyone outside of work for two weeks. I don't even know what to do anymore, I just want my friends back. But I guess they don't like me anymore.

When I was a middle school weeb, I wrote a ton of wacky stories about my online friends. 12 years later, I grew out of that, got some real life friends and developed a better attitude. I found out through a friend that my ex wrote about my cringetastic antics on his blog and said really crappy things about me. I thought we ended on good terms and both agreed that we were pretty stupid back in the day.

I want to cry because this was so long ago and even though i changed for the better, I'm remembered as a crazed teenager.

I went back on them, but I guess I'm just worried that I'll be on them forever. I can't complain too much for the time being, they keep me level for the most part and able to function. There are side effects, though, and I often find myself in situations where I should be happy or sad, and I have no emotions at all. Being empty is better than wanting to kill myself, but it's not enjoyable either. I went through a bout of about a month or two earlier this year where I couldn't function on them, couldn't get out of bed, missed a lot of college, but my doctor said it was a side effect and would probably pass over, and to stay on the tabs.

That feel when, former fatbro here. /fit/ really can help in situations like that, (don't listen to the angry moo-cows who have an irrational hatred for /fit/ on this board) It really can help if you find a workout regimen that works for you, even if you can't afford a gym membership, push-ups and sittups are free. Swimming and walking burns carbs and if you can spring 20-40$ you've got a decent set of weights.

For me I just slowly started shifting my diet to something healthier.

I started cutting back on soda and fast food and eventually got away from it all together. In the mean time I made an effort to actually prepare meals more often and turn toward healthier options. If I found something healthy that I really enjoyed...I started using that as a treat for myself.

I did a slow progress. Say, "Every Sunday I will make a healthy meal for myself, only have soda three times a week, and fast food maybe once every other week." Once it became a habit I would change a few more things.

Yes, lest you end up dealing with the other downsides of eating poorly (vitamin deficiencies, blood pressure issues, cholesterol, etc.). You won't be able to eat like that when you're 30, 40, 50, 60.

Try to wean yourself off the sugar of soda, either by switching to diet versions, or make schorle at home.

To make schorle, mix fruit juice with an equal amount of unflavored sparkling water (you can find this as selzter water or club soda in the soda section of the grocery store). If it's not sweety enough, add more fruit juice.

Yes, fruit juice is also sugar, but you'll be drinking less sugar if you stretch it out with plain sparkling water. (Also, you can make a virgin mimosa with this recipe if you use orange juice as your fruit flavor base.)

Not that other anon but I have the same issues with soda, especially now that I'm living at home for the summer months. My mom buys cases of soda for the other family members and the temptation is hard to beat. When I'm away from home its fine because I don't want to spend money on soda.

I met this girl and she's super cool. We became really good friends, and eventually best friends but I feel like she doesn't even want to be my friend. Anytime we plan to hang out, she always ends up in a situation where she has to cancel, or reschedule. We were supposed to go to a con together, and she said she took work off too, and then suddenly cancels because "i need the money and really need to study to get good grades and a higher chance of going into nursing"
as the con is approaching, she ends up being able to go, but i can't.
She even took the weekend after the con off (this upcoming weekend actually) to come for a sleepover, and then she canceled because her tests got moved so she had to study hard. What's worse, my birthday was yesterday and we were supposed to celebrate my birthday on the weekend together.
>tfw she says she needs to save her money so she can't do any cosplay with me or go to cons for a while

>terrified of driving?
What do you drive OP? What specifically scares you about driving? How long have you been driving? I never had a problem driving until I bought my new toyota tundra (a big ass truck for you nongearheads) and I always was scared as fuck I was either gonna hit something on my right side or I wouldn't see stuff in my mirrors. I practiced finding my right side by using a fallen tree branch and I'd practice passing it on the right to see how far I'd get before hitting it and apply that general principle to the road. Or like when I drove my first manual transmission ('06 mustang gt, clutch was especially sticky) or rode my first motorcycle (Suzuki gsxr-100, NOT a learner bike for sure) I'd always stall when releasing or shift to early, I'd practice shifting and watching my RPMs and gradually got better

Yeah, I met my friend on 9/11/10. Omegle was one of the only place that I could go to avoid people "mourning" 9/11 (because Amurrica). Little did I know that a bunch of btards had decided to spam omegle with the wingding twin towers thing. My soon to be friend just decided not to do it in our conversation, we talked for like 2 hours and got on really well, and just as I was about to tell him my name, our chat imploded. Luckily he'd already given me his, so I creeped on facebook, found him, and we've been good friends ever since.
I even made it over to see him at a con.

My sad feel from this story is that he's perfect boyfriend material and we both have feelings for one another, but he lives across the Atlantic.

my weight loss has been 100% halted

ever since i was a kid I always had bowel issues and severe constipation. As time has passed, it has gone from bad to extreme. I hate to be gross but, a little explanation of how bad it is. I sat in the bathroom for 2 hours screaming in pain, in tears, and about to puke from the pain. The stool is so rock hard it pushes against the vaginal wall and puts pressure on my IUD and causes me to bleed. I've eaten a billion types of grains, fibers, my diet is perfect, I drink over 4 liters of water a day, i exercise, but nothing. Nothing is changing. Laxatives don't take effect for days and now I just started a ridiculous stool softener regimen.

I saw a doctor and he put me on some medication to get me by until I have a colonoscopy within the next few months (i'm not a resident of the country I'm in so I can't afford it until my medicare gets put through with my bridging visa.) I had to stop exercising altogether because I'm in so much pain. The pain from the stool being impacted puts pressure on my lower back and tailbone which makes sitting, running, walking, and even lying on my back extremely painful. I'm just thankful that even though I'm not a resident, the doctor visits are fairly cheap (about $80.)

I'm hoping this stool softener regimen will alleviate some of the pain because this is getting ridiculous.

I actually appreciate your good intentions, anon.
I drive a Sentra, and it's been a year since I got my license. I'm not so worried about driving for driving's sake, but rather for how other people act in traffic. Every time someone does something wrong/unexpected, I don't know how to react, and I'm afraid I won't react in time the next time. Last time I was driving a few weeks ago, I was going to change my lane and then got surprised by a motorcycle coming in between the lanes, and I don't even know we didn't crash. But it freaked me out so badly, I had to pull over and ask a friend to come pick me up, because I could drive again. This was one the biggest things, but smaller things, like people who will turn right but are on the very left, who don't signal properly when they'll turn, who come behind me really fast and all, it all makes me feel very insecure. I don't think /o/ can actually help me with this, but do you think I should start a thread there?

Go to the doctor; it sounds like you have IBS. I have it, and it's honestly hell sometimes, but if you try things out, you can usually find things that help you through rough patches (different drugs, hot water, certain foods, etc.). I'm sorry, anon, I know that pain, and it's awful when you have a flare up around a planned event like a con or meet up (or, god forbid, on workday).

You'd be surprised at how helpful /o/ can be. As a veteran motorcyclist I can assure you not all motorcyclists are like that and the one you're reffering to is almost assuredly what we riders call a "squid" or somebody who doesn't know what their doing. Don't dwell on it too much because if he doesn't change his tune about pulling that shit he'll be road jerky before you can snap your fingers. And as for assholes turning quickly or not using their turn signal it's all brake brake brake, youve got to try and anticipate their moves and if you can't just be as liberal with the brakes as possible because too much brake is ALWAYS better than not enough. And if you do start to feel panicky just try to calm yourself down, turn the music off, roll the windows up, whatever, just breathe in and out and remind yourself "I'm ok, I'm capable of doing this, I can do it" in a repeated fashion and and assured tone. The sentra is a good, reliable car (4cyl or 6, doesn't really matter just curious of what 4chan browsers drive, saw a dude on /b/ with a time stamped lambo) and has some of the best brakes a midsized Japanese Econ-sedan can have so USE THEM!!!

Yes. A few months because anon said they're putting it off until their visa clears and they have government funded medical. Seeing a different doctor won't change the prognosis if anon is waiting until they can afford the procedure. If stool softeners and diet, exercise, etc. aren't helping, the next step is to go looking for what's wrong. That means either blood work (which isn't definitive) or endoscopic procedures.

I know it sounds sketchy but it's not! I'm not in a third world country or in some backwards country. I'm actually in Brisbane, Australia! He only gave me the stool softeners right now as laxatives weren't helping and I am not on any form of medicare for expensive medication. The colonoscopy in a few months was my decision due to no insurance/medicare (though medicare is in the process after my bridging visa is given to me.) I chose a few months as by the time the appointment can be made, i'll have the medicare card and maybe some different bowel results.

Have you tried changing your vitamin regimen? Taking extra vit C can help sometimes and is totally harmless. Magnesium can also ease constipation issues. Also, look into colonic massage (it might hurt like hell at first, but it's helped me). I also drink 16oz of hot tea or hot water with lemon first thing in the morning, which helps to keep things moving.
If a doctor has told you you didn't have IBS before (though honestly I wonder how they came to this conclusion given your symptoms, when there's no hard yes/no diagnosis for it), then you might not, but looking into treatments for it might still help.

I'm sick of being the fatter friend. I'm a girl and my two best friends happen to be guys who are both very underweight naturally. Right now I'm 5'6" and weigh close to 150, with no muscle so it's all lard. I've come a long way (used to be 180 senior year) but I've hit a major plateau.

Friend #1 brags about how skinny he is at least twice every time I see him. He keeps looking down and feeling his waist, saying stuff like "I'm soooo fucking skinny omg I was blessed to have a fast metabolism and a body like this!!1 Aren't I so skinny??" I don't think he realizes it, but I actually die a little inside every time he says it. Oh, and the Friend #2 told me twice that I'm fat compared to him, and actually called me "fatass" the other day when we got in an argument. I'm too socially retarded to make other friends, so I'm pretty much stuck with them.

I'm optimistic though. This week I signed up at Gold's Gym and I'm going to meet with a trainer twice a week. We'll see how that goes.

I've done the same. And as much as Australians complain about wait times, I've got to say that the difference in care I've received here, compared to the US, has been dramatic. Especially hospital care.

In the US, the first time I went to the ER, I was told that it was dehydration and anxiety, to drink more water, and was sent home after a few hours. Two weeks later, I had bills coming out my ears to the tune of $5k for an ambulance ride, a cup of juice, two bags of saline, and inconclusive blood tests.

Here, I've been to hospital twice for a minimum of three days, had blood drawn and tested daily, as well as an emergency colonoscopy, and the only charge I've received was a $500 bill for the anaesthetist. I actually have a laugh with new doctors when they ask about the differences in care between the two countries.

Oh yay you know what it's like then! US healthcare is so laughably bad, i don't know how anyone defends that shit (the wealthy and those with health insurance need not apply.) The care I have received out here has been phenomenal. They're so kind, caring, and have guided me through any questions or concerns I have. I had a really terrible kidney infection and it only ran me $75 for the doctor visit and about $10 in medication. I'm so excited to stay here and be in a real country with real healthcare. Aaaa. I'm scared of the colonoscopy but I can put aside my fear if it means I can find out what the hell is wrong with me

Please, elaborate the thing about personality

Inb4 fedora, I dated a cheerleader I met in HS for about two years before I realized she was a shelless bimbo who if it wasn't for the blonde hair and tits, I wouldn't want to touch with a 30 foot pole, considering how she always whined about daddy's money, her BMW, some bitchy girl at the country club gym etc. before I wisened up and dated somebody who I had common intrests with and to hell with looks for the most part (I care about hygeine more than looks, aside from landwhales, if you honestly care that little about your health and well being I don't want to be anywhere near you let alone date you, yet reasonably curvy I will accept however)

And two years later, I'm a happier man because of it

It's not bad. I promise. The worst part is the prep, and after months of being blocked up, you'll probably find that to be a relief! The actual procedure, they use what I've heard called "twilight level" sedation. Basically, you're out, but not so far gone that you get sick after the fact. Technically, they don't have to sedate you at all for the procedure (a few hospitals don't), but it's less stressful that way.

I like men who are traditionally manly, extroverted men full of confidence and dominant. I'm pretty shy and introverted myself so it works out well.

The guys who share my hobbies usually don't have those qualities I like. They often have problems with shyness, inexperience with dating, problems with taking the lead, and other issues. I can be their friends, but I'm not sexually attracted to them.

Lel, illegal street racing. Tons of us guys meet at a gas station near a ~10 mile bridge and we usually race according to class mostly (ie:hatchbacks, muscle cars, trucks, tuners, bikes) but if you wana race something considered "faster" than your car you can but not slower (ie: a corvette can't race against a bunch of dudes in riced out Hondas) and everybody pays an entrance fee (anywhere from 10-100$)and winner takes the whole pot. I've won substantial ammounts of money in my tundra (pic related)racing against other trucks and when I have my uncles bike I will enter into bike races with that as well

I also buy booze and cigs for my underage cousin to distribute amongst his friends and I let him keep a cut of the money

Graduated college in May and despite my looking I can't find shit. I'm so tired of waking up every day to nothing, to the job search, I can't find ambition to do anything at all.

To make it worse, I'm living at home- my grandma doesn't live with us, but she comes by every day. And every day for the last week, she comes over and tells me that I don't do shit and I'm useless. I made a flan and she told me why bother, you're a shitty cook and it'll never be good. Then when I told her she was being overly negative she said "Well at least I can get a job."
Today my father and I were disagreeing on how to arrange some decor in our living room-mild conversation, he wanted me to put up some hooks and hang things, and I was saying that I think we should put them here not there- just normal conversation. He said "I'm telling you, you should put them over there."
My grandmother butts in "You should do what the man says, it's not like you're doing anything but sitting around and being a useless shit all day."

I'm so tired of it. I worked so hard in college and thought I had a job and it fell through now I'm home just trying to find something that will hire me. Anything. I'm signed up with two temp agencies and have easily applied to over 100 jobs and since then I've had two phone-only interviews and neither worked out.

Honestly I feel like I have nothing to live for.

Lately I've been feeling so shitty, both physically and emotionally fatigued, and drained. I feel like I could be falling into depression again just randomly for no reason. Or I might have some sort of health issue (such as anemia). I don't feel sad at all, in fact lolita and upcoming conventions really excite me. But I don't feel giddy and overly excited as usual. Just... drained. I'm not even sure. I've been wanting to eat like crazy and put on a few lbs. It's become noticable (at least by me) but it's not so much that things won't fit (just an inch in measurement gain) but still. Ugh.

I hope this goes away soon. It's also depressing when you hit goals and are in that realm of being so close to almost there, and due to feeling so shitty you gain. I'm gonna try cutting out shit again, eating more veggies and fruits and trying to get in the sun a little more and do some walking and jogging to see if it helps me spring back. This fucking sucks.

My relationship with my mother is dying horribly and it bothers me constantly. I spent a month with her recently and she spent the entire time bad mouthing things I enjoy without realizing it, and shit talking anyone with similar interests to my own and then complained that I wasn't spending enough time with her, which I was doing because I didn't want to listen to how awful a person I am all the time.
She doesn't realize she's doing it because I'm incredibly secretive about my life around her but this is why I am, because I already know her opinion and I'd rather her just not know me than hate me.
I haven't really talked to her much since then, and it's bothering me a lot right now because she called me last night and over the conversation said she wants me to come see her again so we can actually spend time together and that one day I'm gonna have to let her know the real me.
We're complete opposites and she doesn't realize it. She's a hippy tomboy and I'm the girly girl lolita and we have a lot of extremely differing opinions on a lot of things.
I just want to have a good relationship with my mom. I want to cry every time she calls me, I just want her to be able to accept that I'm not her.

For the last few months I've been hanging with one of my friends from way back a lot lately. We've been edging on more then friends for a while, but now I'm realizing that he's kind of a jerk who just constantly makes fun of what I do
ex:
>"anon you're so fat, you're so weak
>"anon don't work out, fit girls are ugly"
>"anon you're so dumb, get you're life together"
>"lol anon why are you trying to do work?"
it's just really frustrating, because we have really similar interests and have been friends for such a long time, but he just makes me feel like crap. I would just stop hanging with him, but we have a lot of mutual friends, and I don't want to have to cancel on other plans just because he'll be there as well.
To make it cosplay related: I really want to work on a dress I'm making for a friends costume, because I really enjoy sewing, but my machine really needs oil and I don't want to have to go out and buy some because I wont really be able to till the weekend. I just wanna work on it while I still feel excited to work on it.

If he's doing this because he likes you, avoid him because that's sounds like "negging" of PUAs. Basically they advise guys to pick up girls, by lowering their self-esteem with barbed comments. The sad thing is, it works on some girls who are used to barbed comments from loved ones from the experience of growing up in abusive households.

Bob's Burgers did a satire of PUA advice. "Push her in a lake" was my favorite.

You stay away from your abusive ex and make sure your abusive ex stays away from you. Whatever feelings you have for him will definitely not be reciprocated and you'll just end up crush you and your current BF's heart.
Keep your current, stable relationship together - hang tight, even if your beau will be absent for a couple weeks, you can stay connected.

I have a really great job right now, which would be great and all, but all the money goes to paying for gas and paying off my debt from doing awful in school, and my classes now. My parents still micromanage everything, I'm told when to go home and was told to shower because I have work tomorrow, which yeah; I planned to, but I'm 21....I'm being bugged about every little thing and I feel so isolated from the world, I feel like I have no control of anything. I'm very unhappy and stressed. I'm trying so hard to be perfect for everyone, so maybe they can notice me positively somehow, but I don't think its working at all; there's still so much my parents criticize me for and I don't think anyone else even shows interest beyond that. I feel kinda like a total loser. I want to finally get a lolita outfit together but finances make that impossible. Its good that its summer and I'm too busy to consider self-harming, but I haven't had enough proper meals, sleep, and I think my face is breaking out from all this. I'm losing weight really fast from it all, too, but all I get is compliments for it even though I was fine with my size before. This is all quite trying, but I don't know what to do to make it better besides just waiting it out.

Well, it all started when I was born.

Actually it started when I was younger, but that's beside the point.

It really started to go downhill about two years ago when my dad died suddenly.
Then my dog got hit by a car. Then my other dog had to be put down.
No friends from school around anymore (not that I ever had any).
No neighbors to hang with.
No fun places to go that don't cost $100 a pop.
Video games aren't fun.
No job.
No money.
Selling my house to move out even further into the middle of no where.
And my car is starting to fall apart.
Also convinced at this point I'll either be single until I'm well into my 30's or until I die.

Sad because the medication I'm on has reduced my appetite to barely nothing and so I can't enjoy any of my favorite foods anymore. Plus I feel sick if I eat too much so I'm scared that I'll become undernourished and my GP will take me off the meds (which are a massive help otherwise). So I have to eat until I feel sick every day just to maintain my appropriate caloric intake.

Is it SSRI meds you're on? You should be very careful when coming off those, quitting cold turkey will put you in a very bad place.
I'm on SSRI's myself and I also stopped them for a few days because I was too broke to buy more. Bad move. The withdrawal symptoms are intense.
But I believe that if you have a proper plan for quitting the meds, and you talk to your doctor about it, and you do it very slowly, you should be fine. The people online talking about how prolonged SSRI use causes brain damage etc are just trying to turn people against pharmaceutical companies.

I'm leaving to a convention today. I've gained 40 pounds since last convention, so I barely fit into my old cosplays. I lost my wig cap, there's no store in town that sells them. Broke my prop last minute, never really finished my wig, accidentally threw away my shoes because they started to smell. I have no money, no food, nothing prepared. I feel ugly as sin unless I'm in cosplay. Friend wants to volunteer and I'm scared out of my end to not be in cosplay while volunteering, scaring everyone with my ugly disease. I feel like there's a part of my head that's saying that something super bad is gonna happen, like someone taking a picture of my half assed cosplay, posting it on /cgl/, and I become the next PT. I hate myself, and I honestly don't want to cosplay, but I put $200 into my cosplay so far and I don't want it to go to waste, so I'll at least wear it to the photo shoot.
Oh yeah, and I'm packed up the ass with panels I have to cart around too because my friend wants to go to them. I feel like it's not going to be fun, and I'm already having anxiety attacks before the convention starts. I'm going to have to pack a whole shit ton of xanax before I leave. Does anyone else have these feels? I feel like I'm the only one who dreads a convention.

I am 5'6 and 140 pounds
My skin is full of acne scars and disgusting hair because my hormones are all fucked up
My whole body is covered in disgusting dark black hair. I have to shave my entire body from feet to bellybutton
I had an operation on my foot so now I cannot wear heels for months

I probably failed all my exams (or got really bad grades) because I was too lazy to study
I also haven't started on my papers and will probably need to redo the classes
I like my major but I just cannot deal with UniI. I never had to study in school so I never learned to study or work and now I am royally fucked

I haven't had a relationship for over a year, and haven't had sex since then
I haven't met anyone I am interested in
I never go out and meet new people, I am not attractive, popular, sexy, funny or an open person so I doubt this will change anytime soon.

I spend too much money on Lolita
I spend too much money on Lolita items that do not fit me
I spend too much money on Lolita items I don't wear
I spend too much money on Lolita main pieces and then I have nothing to go with it so they just sit in my closet because I don't have a coord
I buy Lolita to feel better about myself
Whenever something bad happens, I buy clothes, and sometimes I regret it immerdiatley. I am developing a very unhealthy habit

I should be a happy person. I have a loving family, no money issues (aside from spending too much money, but I am not in debt), I study what I wanted to study at the Uni I wanted to go, I am healthy, young. Still I managed to somehow fuck it up despite all the opportunities and advantages I have. And then I feel sad and sorry for myself and than I am angry because I feel sorry for myself for no reason.

I started a web series and production group that tries to use cosplayers playing their characters, and I've been treated like and called a monster because I use Actor/movie/hollywood standards for actors. Meaning that when I judge cosplay (as well as the cosplayers I will use for my work) I take into account not only the quality of their costume, or their acting, but the entire package, including height, weight, body type, hair and eye colour, and yes, even race.

I'm called a racist because when I judge cosplay at conventions if there was someone who was Goku, and had the most accurate costume, and performed amazing as Goku but was Black, I would give them a 9/10 because they don't appear to be the same race as their character.
Keeping in mind that I ONLY apply this standard to when people are competing. If you want to cosplay just to have fun, then you can be anything, or anyone you want, no matter what you look like, and I hope you have the time of your life.

Despite pointing out that if you cosplay for fun you can do whatever you want, and it's only when you compete that you be judged as I said above, I'm treated like a monster and a racist.

Picture relevant, it's myself as The heavy Weapons Guy from TF2 (wearing the loadout that I use for the game)

either way. imo what you are lacking is social contact. men aren't treating you as weakly as you think, and if they look down on you or tell you not to do something, so what? why is someone else dictating your life? take a break from the internet and go out and do your own thing. you'll find that a lot of the time, guys treat you kindly because they respect you (well, some may be trying to get into ur pants i guess).

Lacemarket's feedback system is so poorly designed. There is no way for me to comment on my own feedback to explain what happened.

Fucking agreed. I recently quit an SSRI cold turkey because it gave me extreme hunger which was beyond distressing (especially since I'm diagnosed with and trying to recover from extreme anorexia, so I felt guilty as fuck for waking up at goddamn 5am and having to eat because otherwise I can't sleep).

My withdrawal symptoms:

>headaches and dizziness
>no energy
>bizarre yet vivid nightmares
>generally getting crazy and self-harming and having terrible panic attacks again

That's because I'm neither a feminazi nor an aspie anti-sjw. And this isn't Internet experience either, I've had this shit said to my face in real life for no reason other than me working in a male-dominated field. I get plenty of social contact, that's not the issue, the issue is that I routinely get treated like I'm not good for shit and left to sit out a workday while people weaker than me (it's a physical job, so it matters) are told to work, just because I have tits. I may not have expressed myself well. To me, that isn't respect and being treated as equal, that's being babied. Especially because those men who are told to cover for me then come and whine at ME how I'm "useless" and just "sitting around painting my nails" (naturally, I don't do that).

The issue I have with the women I mentioned is that they treat me like shit for not doing a typical "woman job" and then whine about gender roles online aside from other hypocrisy I mentioned.
I know they do because I follow them on Facebook, so it's not "projecting" or whatever new buzzword people use nowadays.

I just feel disappointed with my self since I just graduated, and haven't done anything for two months. Like nothing at all, I haven't applied to any jobs, or bulked up my portfolio like I said I would, or work on the side project I'm a part of and I know they're waiting on my submissions.

>All my art is traditional, and I can't sit still during the 6 hour long classes.
>Too much schoolwork causes me to skip meals, fucks up my appetite.

I feel like i'm a good judge of when I need to step back and just disappear for a while, which is why I just kind of shut down after I graduated. I'm finally back to where I want to be mentally, my skin's cleared up because I'm not stressed anymore, and I actually have time to go to the gym which makes me super happy. But I feel like shit blowing off all the nice people who are counting on me to pull my weight on this project, and not putting out work or bulking up my portfolio and just being productive. I've never had the chance to worry about just myself and my own well being before....

Girl I like is huge horndog and could probably get in her pants without a lot of effort, but is also emotionally unstable, and with a horndog guy who doesn't apparently have any use for their relationship besides poon, and so I'm worried that if I take option a, it could damage our friendship rather than strengthen us as something other than friends.

I sometimes miss my local comm. I first met some of them a few years back and after losing a close friend I decided to start fresh and come out as trans (something no one else knew at the time). However over time the people I came out to forgot I was trans and only pretended to be my friends because I was a bit older and wanted to keep and eye on me. They spoke lot of shit behind my back that entire time about how I was a creep, etc. I brought up the fact that I was trans a year later and they had no idea what I was talking about. Even though it was in a text right when we first met as well as when I first introduced myself. I guess they had thought I had weird intentions when Id ask for wig/make up/clothes help when in reality I just want to transition. At least now I realize people like that are shit heads and probably wouldn't make good friends. At least I tried.

Communication and visiting as often as you can are the keys to maintaining a long-distance relationship. If she isn't putting in the effort, it's going to be really hard on you. I hope you can find closure one way or another.

I've done long-distance for all of my major relationships (anywhere from 35km to 155km to 1800km). The shorter ones fell apart because of lack of giving a shit on their end (depression issues or lost interest, visits becoming infrequent). Now my bf and I have to fly to see each other, but we still text, message, skype, etc. every single day until he can move here. It's not easy, but the effort is worth it.

You can just ask a regular family doctor about it. Constipation is due to two main things - the bowel not moving enough or the stool being too hard. So you can do a bunch of things to encourage it, like the aforementioned fibre and water and exercise, but sometimes you need laxatives or enemas to help with either motility or softening

This might sound harsh, but if you're being abused and ignored you should just cut those people out. Family, boyfriend, or not.
If you've already tried explaining how they make you feel to them, that's even more reason to do so.
I think a lot of people stay around people that treat them poorly due to convenience, and I'm guilty of being part of relationships like that too. It will be hard, but there are people better suited for you out there.

That's pretty easy to explain actually. /cgl/ (and strangers in general) rarely compliment other to make them feel happy. They rather do it if they genuinely like the way someone looks. So getting compliment from a stranger makes it feel more sincere than getting it from someone who likes you, even if both are 100% sincere.

To keep it on topic: I'm sad for a simple matter, I have no money right now and my dreamdress showed up on auction.

Because my boyfriend of almost 2 years has cheated and lied to me consistently throughout our relationship. And recently I've found pictures of him wearing my clothes/makeup/cosplay wigs with a dildo in his ass that he apparently posted online

Not something I'm into, and he also lied to me about it. We've had big blowout arguments before, but I think this time it's really over.

My bestfriend is in a abusive relationship.

I've been trying for months to get her out of it and I don't know what to do at this point.
I've talked to her about it, I've explained, I've left it alone for a week or two so she can figure it out. But nothing is working. He calls her so many names and makes her feel like shit. She cries to me at night about how she wants to leave but she's too scared. But then the next day she says that he love her and doesn't mean it.
Recently, he called some girl sexy and a bunch of other things on facebook on his profile picture. She didn't like it so she talked it him about it. He went on a never ending bitch fit and yelled at her and said some crude things.
Every time I tell her I'm gonna talk to him she gets scared and tells me not to. I don't want to go against her wishes.

>mfw when she was there for me when I was in her shoes

It hurts me more than anything to see her hurt.
I just wanna grab her phone and block him on every site possible and delete his number. But she told me that he has numerous accounts and will always find.

Please, please don't give up anon! If you are struggling with the medical bills there are organizations such as CancerCare and needymeds.org that can help with expenses and/or advise you about local organizations that help people with the cost of their treatment. I don't know if you're in touch with organizations such as this but I would highly recommend it, at the very least they can assess your needs and help point you in the right direction.

My mum has just finished the last of her chemo treatment for breast cancer and I think the thing that helped her to get through not just the physical but also mental toll that it takes, was to join communities and interact with other people going through the same treatment. It sound's like you could really do with the extra support and people to talk to.

There are some incredible people out there working for organizations that dedicate their time to helping and supporting people with cancer; talk to them, talk about all your concerns, anxieties and let them help you to find a good support network. No one should have to face this alone anon.

He first physically cheated on me only 3 months into the relationship. I should've ended it there but I just kind of put up with it because it was better than being alone. But his mom has always been hinting about wanting us to get married and have grandkids for her, the longer we dated the less subtle she was. The more his mom talked about it the more anxious I got, a feeling of impending doom. That's how I knew he wasn't someone I wanted to spend my life with, but still I just stuck with him anyways

How does this happen? I have pretty serious depression and also terrible, lazy hygiene. I brush my teeth maybe once a month and I think I've flossed only a handful of times, ever. (Flossing also isn't as a big a deal here as it is in the US). And my teeth look pretty good. They're not white by USA standards but cosmetically, they look as good or better than most people I know. (That said, I haven't been to a dentist in about 8 years, so they could have some terrible fault).

Is this luck or is the health of teeth more to do with diet? I don't eat any junk food really, although my diet isn't great (definitely not high enough in calories) it is still full of vegetables.
