I'm so excited to be cosplaying with a group. This is my first time doing a group cosplay I'm organizing myself and I absolutely cannot wait!

Now to work out every day and drop some pounds...

[Anonymous No.8631462]

I've come to a point in my life where I'd rather be homeless and whoring myself out than live with my mom.

When she's sober, she's wonderful. Supportive of my cosplaying and jfashion endeavors, willing to help when she can, all that. But when she drinks (which is all the time), she gets upset that I don't wear "normal clothes", that I hang out with weird people, that I don't want a conventional job, that I ate one grain of rice too many, anything and everything she can think of to yell at me for. Tonight, she got pissy because my friend is wearing pants to my brother's wedding and another friend didn't text me back about my dress. Yeah, I don't know.

I get that she's stressed, but I'm tired of her taking it out on me just because I'm convenient. I miss when she didn't drink an entire box of wine a night. I want to move out so badly, but I don't have a job at the moment and I have no where to go. It's great that she's letting me live at home rent free, but constantly walking on eggshells is taking its toll. I'm almost tempted to just sell all my shit; clothes, dolls, figures, whatever, and just live in a motel or friend's backyard or something. Hell, even suicide is looking like a decent option.

This isn't how I expected my life to turn out.

i feel so sad. this was supposed to be such a big moment for me. i know its kinda my fault for not examining the dress more when i bought it, but i really do feel like a some point she really shouldeve mentioned it was a replica, especially when i told her it was going to be my first brand. im just really sad about this. why did she have to lie like that? i still wouldeve probably bought something even if she told me. i just feel like that was a really mean thing to do...

Don't feel bad, anon, I agree you should name and shame - you'll be helping other new lolitas avoid this scammer. Because honestly that's what they're doing: scamming newcommers who don't know better. This is no better than telling people that the bootleg you're selling for full price is the real deal.

As someone who has also been scammed before (but not for a dress), it is pretty normal for them to be very friendly in order to gain your trust. Losing a few bucks on a headbow is nothing compared to the money you paid for a knockoff dress. Was the dress actually labeled a

Please don't think about suicide anon! It would be great if you can talk to her on a rare occasion that she is sober and tell her that you are very concerned about her.

My girlfriend and I have been talking about moving back to Houston. I like the (tiny) lolita community where we live, and I know Houston has a decent size comm there, but I also feel like I'm growing apart from them and jfashion in general. Moving would give me a fresh start and a chance to move on and pursue other hobbies. I've been thinking about being a fitness instructor part time. Maybe it's time to move on.

I have a problem and I hope admission is the first step to not buying a fuckton every month.

For anons out there who have really shitty ways of dealing with stress, does therapy help at all? I'm seriously considering it, but it seems a lot to invest into something that may not work the first few times (according to one of my coworkers who's a staunch supporter of therapy). I also have 'anxiety' or at least symptoms of it. I'd rather not diagnose it now, but I suspect my physical symptoms of hyperventilation, raised heart rate, and excessive sweating that has identifiable precipitors suggests a type of situational anxiety.

You sound really whiny. Of course she's going to be irrational about you not wanting a real job or someone wearing pants to your brothers wedding. My mother tells me I'm schizophrenia and slaps me in the face for eating some tuna she wanted in the back of the fridge. Take it with a grain of salt and become independent by getting a job and moving out so you can also enjoy your hobbies simultaneoisly. Otherwise you deserve to be yelled at if you're not going to do anything with yourself.

The phenomena of why so many people keep their parents in their lives after adulthood has always been an interesting topic, do not let social norms prevent you from cutting of ties with bothersome people, regardless of whether or not they're family. It's very normal to have difficult family lives.

Do not commit suicide, a few years of sadness isn't worth the eternity which you will lose. I promise once you are living away from your family life will only improve.

>sorry for the "Too Long Didn't Read" post
>pic related

I went on a trip to California this summer and the experience I had there awakened the traveler within me, I told myself I would go to one of the big pop-culture conventions before this year ends since I love anime/comics/and video games but I have only been to a small one in Galveston (Oni-Con) and with that I decided to go to PAX Prime this year. So I bought 2 scalped 4 day tickets $600 total and stockpiled $1,200 ($300 non-refundable plane ticket already paid) and I asked a friend of mine that lived in Renton to let me crash for free and in return i would give him the other 4 day ticket. Sadly my mother convinced herself that it was too little money to spend 6 days in Seattle so she forbade me to go threatening to kick me out of the house (first time I've ever been threatened like this) I obediently followed her wishes and cancelled my trip to PAX Prime ($900 down the drain). That didn't stop me from planning my next big trip to the New York Comic Con so I bought 1 $200 most likely scalped 4 day pass for the event and managed to stockpile this time $2,500 (once again not including the non-refundable $350 plane ticket) and was pumped that I could go even found myself a $120 a night hotel near Manhattan sadly all that was ruined by a blessing. 09/23/2015 a week and a half before the con started I received a phone call from an employer looking to hiring me for a supervisory position $29 hr (I am only 20 years old and the most I have made in life is $19 hr) so I took the job knowing a chance like this would never come around a second chance ending my ambitions and goals of attending a big con before the year ends. So starting Monday I report to work and I a 20 year old am now in charge of the lives and safety of over 100 people (older and more experienced) in my job site and sometimes while life has been good to me I also feel like it wants to suck the joys and hobbies in my life

well, now that i think back at it, i dont think i got her name? it was at the super happy fun sale thing event at awa on thursday, the seller was in a blue dress with cards on it and a white wig. thats really all i can recall.
the dress itself wasent directly labeled as brand but it wasnt labeled as a replica either. as i said before i mentioned to her it was my first brand and she never said anything about it being a replica. the word replica never came out her mouth once actually. i saw it hanging on a rack behind the seller and asked about the price. i wont open up a dispute, as the dress was fairly cheap and its not much of a loss financially. just sad knowing that sellers like this are out there, i guess i need to watch out more.
really though, thanks for your concern anon. it makes me feel a little bit better knowing that people actually care about this.

I've been trying to make an appointment on and off all year but the receptionist(s) are terrible and don't pick up unless you tell the main reception at the hospital that they're not answering (was angry enough to do that this week finally), and then it's only a chance that you'll get through. They still wouldn't let me make an appointment until I emailed my scanned referral (thank god I had a scanner) which I did and they replied and said they would give it to the specialist and I haven't heard anything since. Its only been a few days, but the receptionist said he would likely call me the next day. This guys is new though, my old specialist was great but passed away this year. He came in from out of state though but it was far easier to make an appointment to see him. I suppose I'll have to be more assertive.

I am also not defending this hospital as from what you wrote it looks like this new guy has already been there a while and you also mentioned the receptionists where pretty terrible at their job so this hospital needs to step up their ability to communicate with one another as it sounds like they are bad at it

I don't wanna be alone on my birthday or halloween again.
I am sick of it.
I have no friends,no girlfriend (off course, and not a boyfriend since boys scares me)

Which i usually blow up in the dark. Wishing hard to not be alone and suffer alone anymore.
It's so painful, i mean i like being alone, but when i see people holding hands,friends laughing together,planning things together for cons and such, i feel so alone...
I don't go to conventions because i just feel like it's so big and useless to go there bc i will be alone or meet up people i have no similar interests with whatsoever or worse, boys that end up falling in love with me and such...I'm sick and tired seagulls.

Weight loss isn't black magic. Your body is a closed system; any mass you add to your body by consuming food eventually leaves as burned energy or waste. If you are adding mass faster than your burn rate, you gain mass.

Aside from that, you just need to make sure you consume essential nutrients like iron, vitamins, etc...

I think it's pretty good advice, I mean, it's how you lose weight. It's logic right.

If you're having trouble losing weight, perhaps you don't understand how to do it. So, I figured the most simple explanation would be beneficial.

>>8634370
Yeah this is true, a lot of people just don't count it all up. An easy way to start losing weight if you're just really packing on the pounds is switching to solely water. I've heard a lot of success in losing as much as 10-15 pounds solely by doing this.

[Anonymous No.8634393]

Original weight loss anon here, if it worked for me that easy I wouldn't be seeking professional help.
My issues go beyond just eating too much, since I binge tons out of stress which are moments where I simply can't control myself.
If this hadn't been happening for years and I didn't try anything else before, it would have been decent advice.

Be happy I can admit I have a problem I'm seeking help for rather then being delusional and making HAES posts.

Now i'm getting back into building my life even without people, i don't go out much but improve my self, buying lolita or otome is helping me a lot, you should try to be more positive and build yourself but... it's really hard. I fear to fail and get back into the spiral. I'm tired as well to pass my bdays with family, halloween at home and forever alone valentine's days.
I love to be alone as well but at times a warm hug from a true friend would help me so much.

I desperately miss wearing lolita, but I only ever did it at conventions because tbh I hate attention during my daily life. Even toned down coords would have people touching me and going on about it and I don't have the energy to do it all the time. But since I started cosplaying I never wear lolita at cons anymore, I meet more people through cosplay and feel better in it...

Anyone else know this feel?
I still love lolita or obviously I would have left if it was all about attention, however the validation I used to get was like the cherry on top of the sundae. It made me feel like I was doing something right. Now it's like I don't even have a single scoop. Seems like people are sick of my style (re: simple, matchy, and not over-accessorized), which makes me sad because I don't want to do lolita any more toned down or over the top just to fit in. Also not being conventionally attractive is a real downer too.

My first real cosplay was with my best friend and our massive height differences made us perfectly accurate. We got our pictures taken constantly and I found a ton online later. Also at this point in time I was minorly e famous for my blog so people stopped me telling me they were so happy to meet me.
Then I became less active and cosplayed less popular characters and it was never that good ever again. I guess it's ok in the sense that I eventually became inactive due to the pressure of people watching me and being overly critical and insulting over absolutely nothing but it was nice to have a lot of positive attention too.

I feel like such an idiot.
I was depressed the whole month because I felt like a total loser in every aspect of life; lolita, work, college, appearance, friends, being a girlfriend. The Holy Lantern release was the just the tip of the iceberg, it was my last and favourite dream dress ever since it's first release, but I couldn't afford the scalped auctions. Losing at the rerelease fucked my whole day and I had a minor break-down while drunk infront of my boyfriend.
He was such a sweetheart and consoled me, he even told me he would've helped me getting HL if it meant this much to me even though he isn't fond of lolita.
I feel so stupid for not talking with him earlier and like a whiny bitch for being so emotional and depressed in the first place.

Helpful weight loss tips:

Juice is absolutely not healthy. It has more vitamins than soda, and doesn't have HFCS, but it's still literally sugar and water. Never drink your calories. It won't fill you up, it is a load of calories, and tricks you into considering it a fruit serving when it only has a tiny amount of the good stuff in fruit.

Have at least one actual fruit and vegetable serving a day. You should have more, yes, but being able to commit to one a day is pretty easy, and it helps you to think of fruits and veggies as part of your diet.

Avoid ice cream for treats, similarly, avoid any liquid or gel treats. They are less filling, and they are also typically served in a big bucket, meaning it's much harder to conceptualize how many servings you are having. If you heavy treats, have them in discrete quantities so you know exactly how much you're having.

Read the labels and compare the the micronutrients. Calories, Protein, carbs, fat, sugar, and fiber are what you want to look at. Don't be deceived by food just because it is low calorie. If it has 2g fat, 0g protein, and 23g sugar, it is not something you want to be eating.

Protein is the most healthy taken on its own of the three. Get as much dietary fiber as is possible. A good meal food should have more protein than fat, more protein than sugar, and up to 1.5x as many total carbs as protein.

I'm feeling a little salty about missing the release... I'm not one for complex prints, but the detail on this thing is choice. It's not even the specific JSK I wanted but damn. This dress. Dammmmnnnnnnn

Just came back from AWA, had so much fun, but I came back with this legitimate feeling of heartbreak. This could possibly be the last year my friends and I go together and it makes me so sad. I'm also going to be 27 this year and starting to feel out of place and aware of my age. Plus, all my cosfriends will likely be moving in the next year, and I don't know how to make new cosfriends. So I'll likely not go to any more cons seeing as there's little point for me to go alone because its so much more fun with a group. Cosplay and the excitement of cons has been one of my favorite things since I was 15, I feel sad about inevitably giving it up...

We're in a really similar boat anon, except I live with my bf. If it's any consolation, when you live with them it just makes you worry guiltily that you're not seeing enough of your friends even though it's not like you're making time for your bf either, they're just in the same house.

I really recommend getting a lolita email or penpal buddy from the friend threads. It's sad when contact drops off, but the odd surprise of hearing from them is really nice. Work hard, it will be over eventually.

Let me rephrase in a less bitchy sounding way.

If your parents are paying for your living utilities (like phone, car etc) and you aren't actively looking for a job or pursuing a path to sustain yourself then you aren't in a boat to complain at the moment if you are over 18.

If you get a job you can sustain yourself probably but you won't be able to pursue any of your hobbies. You need to ask yourself what is easier to forget about. In my case, I chose to filter out my whiny mother and work at my job and work towards my degree. It's sucks, but she's always been the way she is so I really don't care at this point, it's like listening to a child cry which is only slightly annoying. I chose to hold onto my hobbies because they bring me happiness. Previously all I'd do was whine about it which is why nothing got done, but when I actively tried to make a change instead of talking about how much I wanted to die my life improved instantaneously.

Am I being a bad person for feeling annoyed and just wanting to have one completely free weekend after all the stress from the last weeks?

I agree with everyone else, seriously. Move away from her. I will say that my story sounds like yours. My mom did all the shit your mom does.


My mom (still does) used to get piss drunk and then yell and scream at me and my brother because she was angry at my dad (over something silly like he didn't jump into the shower the SECOND he got home from work).

She used to be crazy as fuck and beat the shit out of my dad, but my gentleman dad never hit her back. She even went as far as to swing wild (and drunkenly) bashing my dad with the blunt edge of a big ass cooking knife. This was when I was very young, like 8.

Fast forward to when I was older like 14 - 17, I got a job and my mom started making me pay rent to live in her house. She charged me $450 a month. Despite that she would still ask me for $20 here and there. She was not saving it, she was spending it on beer and cigarettes and dumb shit. Despite all that, I managed to save up a lot of money because I was planning on buying a kick-ass gaming computer. She goes through my wallet and steals my cash and denies that she ever did it when I know it was her.

I join the army. After tour in Afghanistan I decide that I am going to finally move away from my mother even though I feel bad because she never worked a day in her life and have no clue how she is going to get along without me. I say "fuck it" and tell her I'm moving and pretty much start moving out within a week. She says "Since I wont see you everyday anymore, give me $5,000 to help me." I say "No I'm going to need that money now that I am living on my own".

She gets mad and says "So you're not going to give me any money at all?!" I say "Sorry, but I will need every cent now". I'm about to leave forever and I open my arms to hug my mom and I say bye. She literally says "Don't say a fucking word to me!"

Now every time I go to visit, she asks for money and makes up some crazy ass wild stories about me which are so out there that I am starting to think she is showing signs of dementia. Last time I visited, I was looking for some of my old army shit that I left there for my cosplay, and she was getting REALLY, REALLY angry for literally no reason. She was raising her voice and just making me feel frustrated and upset myself.

I asked her why was she so angry? She then started with her crazy ass stories again. I didn't even find my cosplay shit and I just started putting on my shoes and getting ready to leave. Right before I leave I turned to her and said "I'm sorry that me showing up here makes you so angry, I'll make sure I never ever do this again" and I walk out.

I do feel a little guilty for dropping-the-mic on my own mom, but the way I see it.. we have a short time on this planet, don't spend any of your precious time around people who are going to bog you down spiritually or emotionally.. even if it is family.

TBH anon, you really should try to have all your settings set BEFORE you take a hall shot. Not only will it let you focus on the focus and framing, but it's actually kind of frustrating when someone asks for a photo and then spends upward of 30 seconds to a minute adjusting their camera while you stand there awkwardly frozen and smiling. Four test shots is my limit before I start to get annoyed, especially because most hall shots are going to look like garbage anyway.

He filed for a divorce but my mom never signed it, so he just settled for being legally separated and not divorced.

Anon, you need to get a stronger support system and some sort of help. These are not the healthy thoughts of a mind working the way it should. That's a very toxic and illogical thought process.

I usually use an online fuel calculator and collect half the fuel money in advance or they don't get a space in the car.

I know it sounds douchey but it helps weed out flakes and cheapskates.

>people want you to risk running out of gas because they want cheap gas
Set expectations and conditions beforehand if at all possible. I once drove a group where one guy didn't want to have the A/C on in the middle of the summer because it would cost HIM more money. Told him to deal with it or get the fuck out of my car.

>absolutely thankless
>you're suddenly the unfun prick because you make demands
>everyone else can't understand why you're not having a good time as them as you navigate through city traffic
Yeah, pretty much this. I usually only take on this role with really good friends in the car so the above tends to never happen, but sometimes you just gotta take one for the team and be the responsible one.

>>8644363
This is the same as collecting hotel room fees beforehand. Absolutely nothing wrong with this especially since you are the one doing the people riding with you a solid.
Admittedly I would never take money in advance, but then again I don't drive/room with randoms and if an acquaintance of a friend flakes for whatever reason, that friend is responsible and/or the acquaintance is blacklisted.

I think I've broken the titanium rod in my back and I can't get the hospital to confirm an appointment with me, it's gotten to the point where I can't bend anymore unless I want to feel the most agonising pain which feels like it's making the rod move. I don't know if I should call an ambulance as all they'll probably do is give me pain killers and I'll have to sit around for hours waiting which hurts. I'm really scared and it keeps getting so much worse

I called the after hours line and they asked me heaps of questions and said I could come into emergency if I wanted but that I should see a GP and try and get them to assess it today. I don't know how they will as they need an MRI or full body x-ray to do so and even then a specialist needs to analyse it. I guess if the rod has snapped it should be obvious though... Sorry for being so OT

If the rod had snapped you'd be unable to move and be in much greater pain than you are right now. It might be a sprain of some sort, or another kind of injury. Please calm down, panicking only exacerbates the pain.
See a doctor as you normally would, but I'm sure the rod is fine. It's titanium, mind. It's supposed to be sturdier than the actual bones in your body.

[Anonymous No.8644680]

>>8644676
I had to help a family member lift a 150+kg wardrobe or he would have had it fall on him, that's more than enough to break it and I know/have read about people who have broken their rods. You can still walk with it, just very uncomfortably. It also depends on where the rod is/how big it is. Some people even live with the broken rod like that for months/years. Thank you though, I'm really hoping it's not broken but it feels like it is the rod that's moving/grinding on bone, not just muscle or anything like that. Hopefully I'll find out today.

iktf. Fast fashion is cheaply made and priced with no regard for fit, style, and durability.

Lolita was my gateway drug to understanding fashion and what clothing should be like. It's not haute couture nor high end, but way better than street shops. I'm a bad person to go clothing shopping with because i'll nitpick everything. Working in retail was a drag because the word cute gets thrown around, but those poor plebs don't know kawaii.

i just landed a full-time with good benefits (health insurance, including vision and dental, and 401k). I'm going to be making 1.3k a month until i'm out of the probationary period. it's enough to alleviate so many anxieties in my life (i need to fix my car, get mental healthcare), and i'm honestly so grateful.

it also means i'll have a bit of disposable income to indulge in hobbies like cosplay and lolita.

This anon here, managed to get some of it done but I still have so much to do that it's genuinely frightening. I was ill about a month ago and missed three days so I can't exactly call in sick... Thinking of being honest and asking can I leave early tonight to get shit done.

Any suggestions gulls?

Thank you anon, I most certainly will. I had work until mid-afternoon yesterday but the job is very physical so I went right to sleep when I got home and didn't wake up until this morning. I'm working late tonight so I know I'll end up waking up at like three pm tomorrow if I do stay until finish. I can't let that happen.

My parents aren't helping either. I asked my mother today what was more important, my assignment or job and she said 'job' without missing a beat. What the actual fuck. Not that I don't understand where she's coming from but it's still jarring for her to basically imply my assignment means shit.
