I drink most days, but I've been cutting back for the past week because it makes me feel guilty (apparently guilt is a common sign of alcoholism). I usually drink shots because I want the alcohol to get into my system as fast as possible, with my favorite being based 151 because of how strong it is (that gets a little diluted with a mixer because I don't want to lose my voice). I just don't want to be sober. I just don't want to feel or think anymore. The other day I was drinking some OJ in the morning and my husband actually came over and sniffed it and asked what it was. I think I probably have a problem, but it just can't seem to translate emotionally for me. I don't even know if I really want to stop. I want people to notice that something is wrong, but I also want to hide it. I feel like all of my actions are a contradiction and I just can't figure out what I really want. All I really know is that I don't actually want to stop more than I think I should stop.

I always read these stories, and I never thought it would happen to me. She's also plus sized and I know fuck all about plus sized recommendations :( I'm willing to look into it though to figure out how to steer her away from a bad decision.
Incidentally, another girl recently dropped some horrible first coord plan in conversation, but I'm not her first lolita contact/mentor so I am just going to let that one slide. What is it with new lolitas running off and doing themed coords based off of terrible ideas? I guess they think no one has done Homestuck/duck/Gurren Lagann/chipmunk themed coords simply because no one else but them has thought of it, and not because it's actually a terrible idea? Why do all the itas think these theme coords are a thing?
The worst theme I wanted to do as a newbie lolita was "steampunk" and that's actually kind of a theme albeit a shitty one, so any insight into this mentality is seriously appreciated.

Then prepare to be a bitter fag hag at 50 and wondering what the fuck happened when you beg for change/hustle just to get a drink.

I live with a family of alcoholics and all of them that abuse the shit or drugs ended up fucked up, lonely, bitter bitches (or assholes) and in one case ended up with an incurable STD because he had sex with the wrong prostitute when he was drunk.

Nah, it's okay. They're right, minus my husband being a saint. He is by and large the main reason I drink. We may be getting divorced soon because I can't stand the way he talks to me and our kids. At least I keep my self-destructive behavior in my room after the kids are asleep or if he's at home and able to take care of them so they don't have to see, unlike his constantly angry ass yelling at everybody all the time.

Dude, yeah, get away from him. If you don't have alcoholism now, you will have it if you drag this out any longer. It takes some people a long time to get hooked, but you will very likely get hooked if you keep drinking this much this regularly. And seriously, alcoholism is the worst. If I could do anything to get out of it I would, short of doing other drugs because that's just a different problem lol.
But yeah, your husband is a fucking loser. Anything that drives you to drink that much is horrible, plus he's an asshole and unemployed? Why are you with him still? And he's an asshole to your kids so you're passively subjecting them to this shit. DTMFA

I hate to sound mean/harsh but you need to give him an ultimatum. Tell him to either man up and help you/support you like a good husband would or dump his ass and go on child support. I misread him because I don't know you personally but he sounds like a loser.

Sorry but like I said I dealt with drunk people previously who were depressed and went to the bottle. I had to clean up vomit because they couldn't make it to the toilet. I had to deal with my uncle saying he wanted to fuck me in the ass and I look good drunk.

For context
I've thought about dumping my PERFECT SAINT OF A WONDERFUL BF just because I suspected he might somehow possibly be the reason I have alcoholism in some way i can't understand, after evaluating and changing everything else in my life. Alcoholism is THAT BAD. I considered giving up something wonderful just because I couldn't think of any other way to get out of it and was willing to try almost anything.
But you, on the other hand, KNOW he's the reason for it. DUMP. HIM.

I already have given him an ultimatum, as of a couple months ago. He has until our lease is up to stop lying to me about money/taking money from me and to learn to deal with his feelings in a more healthy manner as opposed to lashing out and ignoring making our kids food because of vidya games. It's heart-wrenching though because our son came in when we were arguing once after my husband said he would just leave if he was hurting everyone so much and he started saying to him that he wanted him to stay, don't leave, etcetera. Our son will talk to me sometimes and say I shouldn't be so mad at daddy. I'm tired of feeling like I have to cook food for the kids right before I go to work to make sure they have more than a peanut butter sandwich or something during my shift.

>>8067393
Maybe you intimidate her. Maybe that one girl is the only one she felt she connected with. There are so many possible reasons as to why she did that, it's kind of unfair to just assume the worst. The best thing for you to do is is ask her what's up and to give her time.

There's a couple of rationales behind this, in my experience. He could have a bad family history with alcohol, and therefore demonizes it. He could also just have felt outcast in high school or whatever if he was someone who had friends who drank a lot but he never really had access to it. It's also possible he had those friends, and got access later on but felt he was better than them and continued not to drink. Lastly, he could be really religious, but I feel you would have mentioned that. Does any of that sound like your bf?

oh yeah, he is religious, but it hardly ever comes up so I'm not sure if it's tied to that or not. At least, he's never mentioned religion in the contect of alcohol. I'd like to ask him, but every time he brings up alcohol it's always "why do you care so much about drinking/why do you need to drink so badly!?"
He keeps saying his reasoning is he "just doesn't see the point" which makes no sense to me, cause if that's the only thing then why does he care so much? The conversations always seem to go in circles.

I never really understood why my dad wasn't a part of my life, and to some degree I resented my mother for it. That said, as I got older and developed a better understanding of the world, I got it, and realized all the reasons I should've been resenting him.

Alcohol is one of the more difficult substances to come off of, imo. I honestly came off heroin more easily than I've been dealing with my alcoholism. I just bring it up to hopefully help you realize how important it is that you deal with this sooner than later, and that it may be rough, but it is worth it. Really hope you make it anon.

I can relate to that third girl, and you shouldn't take offence to it anon. If half the group leaves, then I feel like 'oh everyone is leaving I guess it's time for me to go home too', especially since I'm more uncomfortable in smaller groups of strangers. As for the Facebook thing, I rarely add someone I've ever met once, after a couple of times meeting you she might be more comfortable with friending you. She might just have more common interests with that other girl which is why she was happy to friend her straightaway.

Maybe you shouldn't measure/weigh yourself so often. I'm guilty of obsessing over my numbers too, but they're going to fluctuate just by how hydrated you are. I take my stats every week or every other week first thing in the morning and focus on hitting my workouts hard. It makes the changes more noticeable, accurate, and enjoyable.

As for food, just set a realistic limit on snacks and meals. Enjoy one small portion snack bribe or treat instead of gorging yourself.

The thing is I don't think I should buy clothes until I've reached my goal for all three of those things. Lots of people buy some new clothes whenever they go up/down by a few sizes, but for someone who doesn't have such a huge exposable income to start with it seems like such a big waste, especially since they're probably going to be cheap normalfag clothes anyway and I'm not going to look/feel my best in them. Should I just wait about a year/year and half to start buying clothes again, and just save up all my money to have a huge celebratory shopping spree then to reward myself for reaching my goals?
Eventually I want to have a cute wardrobe full of altered brand skirts, handmade lolita and custom taobao and those are too special and expensive I think to just get now knowing they will probably not fit me ever again in a short time, which is why I won't buy that stuff now.

Have you tried electroconvulsive therapy? It's usually used as a last resort because of the possible memory loss that can result from it, but it's the most effective treatment out there for patients with extremely severe depression that nothing else seems to help with. Basically they put you under general anesthesia so you're unconscious, and the induce seizures. They do this for several treatments, and it's a long-term cure, but there's really nothing else that has the success rates it has with patients thought to be lost causes. If all you've tried is pills and therapists, then you haven't tried enough. I believe there is a way for you to get out of this pit of depression that's not killing yourself. Please go research ECT and maybe start treatment, it might be the help you're looking for.

I'd say try this as well. I've heard really good things about it.

It's not like they're going to transport you back to the 60s and stick wires up your nose. I say go and give it a try.

Oh, and see if there's any medical trials they can take part in. Your depression is highly anomalous, so they'd definitely be interested. You can earn a lot of cash, treat yourself to something nice, and maybe get a little better as well.

This is so stupid but I have a massive crush on one of my professors. We exchange emails a lot about the coursework and he calls me "brilliant" and says he always looks forward to my contributions in class. He also keeps inviting me to take another class with him next semester. He's also a total Japanophile/weeb like me, haha. I feel like a dumb kid with a crush, but I seriously enjoy talking about academic stuff with this guy and get giddy thinking about him... then I remember he's twice my age and I'm being ridiculous to care that this guy is probably just happy one of his students actually pays attention in class. Ugh I'm such a weirdo.

What medication have you tried?
Have you considered going at it from the perspective of another disorder? Depression can be a symptom of a lot of different things.
I was stagnating in my treatment until I looked at other possibilities. My symptoms matched up with non-hyperactive inattentive ADD. Going on adderal made a huge difference in my life. And tomorrow I'm going in and going to bring up a possible sleep disorder (hypersomnia type).
Depression, inattentive ADD, and sleep disorders can all look really similar. Hopelessness. Lack of energy. Inability to focus. Feeling like you're in a haze.
I might have one or all of these. I try not to get too hung up in the labels. They're really just shorthand for the symptoms.

What ever treatment makes you feel better, go for it. We discovered that giving speed to high strung eight year olds calms them down. We honestly know very little about the brain.

That's one thing a psychiatrist asked me that the people I've seen before never had: what does better look like? I'm an expert at knocking out a list of my symptoms, but "healthy" is much more complex than "not this."

What symptoms do you want to focus on? I had been neglecting my "inability to focus" before adderall. Maybe you need to do something drastically different?

Have you tried both anti-anxiety and antidepressants? What's your diet? Are your iron levels okay? How's your thyroid? Are your testosterone/estrogen levels balanced?

Don't give up! There's so much to try!

I'll tack on another thought:
I'm sure you know this, but it does take a while to see if a new medication works. At least a month when starting or after a dosage change.
This goes for trying supplements or habit changes (food, exercise, etc) too.
Figured it was important for any lurkers trying to help their situation.

It took me 4-6 months just to get my adderall dosage right and figuring out long acting vs short acting. It is a long and sucky process.

I've found that peers and family who try to help usually get frustrated that it isn't fixed around the three month mark. You've gotta have patience. The work you put in over five years might give you decades of actual living.

I've been there too, anon. It actually affected my life significantly because I worked myself into a colossal, year-long burnout trying to impress him. In my case he's "only" twelve years older than I am but he's married and has three kids. I actually got to hold his youngest daughter shortly after she was born and that just made my fucked up brain more attracted to him than ever. For a while my bitterness over the burnout (and the way he kind of mismanaged it and inadvertently made it worse) was stronger than my attraction and I felt like it was dying down, but now that I'm doing better the crush is back in full force. It's hard, but I'm going to try and minimize contact with him from now on.

Even if your professor sees you as anything more than "that cool student" he's going to see you more as a daughter than as a love interest. Hell, chances are he actually has a kid your age or is at least married. Plus even if he is single, educators are extremely hesitant to get into a relationship with a student. Even if you're an adult it's very unprofessional, and it could ruin his career.
Maybe re-evaluate what attracts you to this guy - I've read somewhere that often students feel attracted to their professors when they're very enthusiastic about the subject this person teaches. Do you have a crush on the man or do you have a crush on his work? If it's the latter, focus your interest on the work and try to kill your crush on the guy. If it's the former, you might have to cut off contact like I did. It sucks, but there's no way pursuing this is going to end in anything other than heartbreak.

To the best of my knowledge, frequent small meals > infrequent larger meals when it comes to weight loss. Even if you're not eating many calories, you can still spread them out to every 2-4 hours and you'll probably be less painfully hungry. Snacks high in protein and healthy fats like nuts will also help curb cravings. It can be tough to re-train your body to get used to less food, but there are ways to make it easier.

As far as I know a few big meals are better for losing weight than many small ones. Everytime you eat your body starts a mechanism that will store fat and if you eat more often the mechanism will start more often.

>> No.8068605

>>8068593
That's exactly the opposite. The mechanism only starts when the body thinks food is scarce. If you eat often and keep active it will generally lose you more fat, also eating breakfast is super important because if you don't, your body will actually store more fat than it would otherwise since it thinks you don't have access to food early in the day, and you lose a lot more calories when you start up.

are the meals already prepared? they don't have jany healthy choices or you just don't know how to guesstimate calories of food? even if the choices are terrible, you can pick out the healthier bits and toss the rest (i.e. take meat out of sandwich, dump the bread)

Anon have you ever considered those are just the measurements you're supposed to have? How tall are you? Because 111 lbs and a 24 inch waist does NOT sound 'fat as fuck' to me, especially if you're doing squats and bench presses.

Are you trying to fit into tiny clothes or do you just really want a tiny waist? Are you planning a cosplay with a bare midriff? Either way I think you're being way too hard on yourself. It's never a bad idea to strive for a quality diet, but you're not going to be a happy person eating low-cal salads and water all the time just so your waist will be a certain size. Chickens and potatoes were made to be eaten. Just stop eating fried shit, that is genuinely bad for you.

>gb2 tumbeler fatty chan
I'm 5'4", have never weighed over 100 lbs, go days barely eating 500 calories and my waist has always been 24 inches. I guess technically it could be a little slimmer if I started doing hardcore pilates, but I'm already too small for most clothes so why should I want an even smaller waist? If I needed one, I would get a waist cincher.

>look at the things my bf buys me and know that I am LOVED, peasants
Yeesh, sounds like she has some serious validation issues. I think you're right to be annoyed, that's not hateful in the least!

Anyway my general bitching that's TL;DR that I don't feel like greentexting:

I (think?) I got outbid on mbok for my dream dress but there's still time remaining. I sent my auction order earlier today to japonica, but they never responded back. However I noticed that a(my?) bid amount showed up in the bid history that I coincidentally requested, and was subsequently outbid. I responded back in the same email as before and asked them to raise my bid, but there's not many hours left. They also haven't responded, and I haven't seen Japonica's ID bid on it since.

I wasn't looking to spend past $450 on this dress. I've seen it in person and it's not really worth much past $300, if I'm being completely honest. A sadistic part of me is starting to feel that if I at least get outbid on my max, that someone else (who is probably more desperate than me for this thing) is being made to pay extra. I realize how vindictive and vengeful that makes me sound.

I was ejected from a 4 year long relationship that I hadn't realized was poisoning me until I was finally out of it. Our first year and a half together was great until my ex's awful home life began fucking her up:
>spent less and less time together irl and online because she was "too busy" with work. eventually went months without communication.
>hated her work and was always in a terrible mood. never made any defining steps to improve her situation because she "just couldn't/had no choice."
>complained about weight/image/ect, but never did anything to improve herself or look into anything i suggested.
>always responded negatively to any compliments i gave.
>unnecessarily protective. threatened to do "something" to a close friend if they got "too close to me."
>insinuated that i had to take her side in an argument between her and a close friend of mine, and essentially stop being her friend if they had a falling out (still not sure about that one)
>demonized lolita, the one fashion i wore regularly, because of self-image issues and never had anything nice to say when the subject came up (ironically fell in love with it at the end of our relationship and talked about it non-stop).
>stressed about money, or being able to afford things/go places even though i paid for both of us all the time.
>fought with parent(s) constantly. residual bad mood ended up on me. would then get mad at me for being mad.
>refused to be open with me or tell me what she wanted. got mad when i didn't do/act/say what she expected.
>would say she was fine and then explode later (sometimes months later) because she wasn't. somehow ended up being my fault.

I can't say I expected him to say anything, although he's normally a little more sensitive? It was just that he asked me to explain my feelings so he could understand it better, but I would literally start a sentence and he would interrupt me to go on a long spiel about how I don't have to worry about him dumping me because of it and he loves me regardless of my eating problems. Great. But I guess I just wanted him to listen.
I'm trying not to come off as a cold bitch, I really do appreciate him trying. It was just frustrating to be in the middle of sorta pouring my heart out and having him interrupt me and treat me like a little kid.
But yeah, it does. I'm not usually so sensitive, but like I said, recently it's been hitting me kind of hard.
Eugh, sorry for the ramble.

manface'd anon here, long straight hair ( or long hair in general it seems ) tends to do us little favors. bangs look terrible on me unless they're cut upside-down U shape so they blend into the hair at the side's of my face and get rid of the harsh edges. i find that side hair that stops at my jawline makes me look a little more feminine, but anything longer than that and it fucks me up. i wear either short wigs with a bit of volume, or if i have long wigs, i have to keep them in low twin braids, or pull the hair back behind my ears. sometimes that helps.
i've been struggling with sweet hairstyles with curly clip ins. i either have to wear them low like fluffy beagle ears, or really high up with the excess hair pinned to create poof balls. either way, the hair at the sides of my face have to stop around my jaw, or be thin enough that the hair doesn't crowd my face. if it does, i have to throw on a headband to get that separation.
i'm slowly realizing i may have to give up on sweet and turn what i have into something a little more classic, or keep falling backwards into goth, but i hope at least some of what i've said is somewhat helpful and doesn't sound pants on head retarded.

My mother actually quite likes the clothes, except for the really sweet stuff. She thought the outfits on the cover and the tartan patterns were pretty. For some reason she just got bent out of shape about the idea that a person who has already gone through puberty can look as youthful as Midori. She also once accused a woman who claimed to have a 63cm waist of lying because according to her it's impossible for a grown woman to have a waistline like that. It wasn't until I went and got a tape measure to show her my own 64cm waist that she calmed down a little. And even then she immediately told me to eat more because "that's not natural!"
I don't know where she gets these ideas from. She's relatively slim herself, for a woman in her fifties.

She sounds like those insecure middle aged moms that can't accept that they're not young anymore and things that they used to be able to do are becoming limited. Maybe she should talk to somebody about her feelings.

moot's still going to be on the board probably, because I'm going to assume 4chan has one. He'll still earn money but he just won't be doing anything with the site anymore, probably because he has another job. idk.

>Dads stealing shit
Is this a dad thing? When I was in school, he would always use my pens/pencils when I left them out for homework, then stick them in his shirt pocket after he was done.
He would put everything in his pocket on his dresser at the end of the day, and had a hoard of my pencils there.

Sounds like a "parents who think they own everything in the house" thing. When I still lived at home my mother would regularly use my shit without asking. At some point I managed to convince her to stay out of my room when I wasn't there by messing around with her workplace while she was in the bathroom and showing her what it feels like. Passive aggressive as shit but when words don't work...
After that she still borrowed my clothing by taking it from the line, though. I either had to watch the washing machine like a hawk and grab all my stuff as soon as it was finished or be okay with getting things back slightly stretched out. I love my mom, but moving out was the best decision I ever made for my wardrobe.

Do you know how many languages translators are required to do? At least in my country, they learn 3 to 4 languages during their degree.

Dutchfag?
I've started just having ~€100 laying around the house in €50-20 bills and small change just in case, because usually as soon as I find out how much they're charging me the package is already underway and if I go out to get money it might arrive when I'm not home.

damn it.. it should have been here 2 days ago but as usual customs stops it and fleeces me for money.

I really hope they put it as a gift or I will have to pay tax and the stopping fee on top...

Ugh I'm having some feels right now.

Last year I had been growing out my hair, and it was almost long enough to reach my boobs. Sometime around October last year I randomly decided to get a short bob hair cut and I am regretting it so much now. I just can't fucking wait till my hair grows longer again.

This happens every fucking time I get a hair cut and I still don't learn, and always go and cut it short.

I suck at getting to know people. Today, the conversation was getting awkward so I pretended I had to leave and ended up waiting half an hour in the cold for the bus. Seagulls, please teach me how to be a socially competent person.

It's only awkward if you think it's awkward.
If you want legit advice I guess don't try to force it.
Not the friendship, you're already on your way there, I mean stuff like jokes or conversation topics.
Stuff like that works best when it comes naturally, like right now.

Now if you're seeking a RELATIONSHIP that's a whole other story sister.
