Fuck. I can probably stay for like a year or so? But... this is a small company that has very slow business sometimes. Especially lately. I have to gain the experience but I also really need to look into other things.
I spent all my depression time looking for new hobbies so now I have them but now I have to get my life together and still be able to afford something like Lolita and I don't know what to fucking do because the only thing I am passionate about is these stupid dresses.

But next week I can buy dreamy planetarium! yay...

Fuck, I hope someone buys that dress or the asshole closes the dispute soon so I don't get blacklisted/miss out on the dress.

Update: I just got a message asking to sell the dress for half the price shipped. Why am I attracting really flaky people with this dress and now this? On top of it, my pet is needing the vet.

Because appearently telling someone who doesn't want to be your friend that its cool, you don't want to be their friend either is considered bullying now. Whenever she is the one who friend requested me, and deleted me and then sent me a message explaining why. Then she assumed a bunch of my fb status were about her and confronted me, I told her she was being ridiculous and even though there was no evidence I was banned.

People always tag/post on pictures on tumblr things like "Literally my aesthetic" and it pisses me off.
The amount of times I've seen a comment or tag like that and gone through someone's tumblr to find nothing remotely related, or a bunch of boring unrelated selfies is so annoying. You can't tag hime gyaru images like that and then just have a tumblr full of Dr Who gifs and shitty selfies in teeshirts and unstyled hair. I know I sound like a bitter old person, but I just don't get why people do it.
I want to find things that are related to the things I like, but the way everyone has to chip in on something with comments like "THIS IS MY SPIRIT AESTHETIC" is ruining any hope of it.

I know it's OT, but the whole Zamii thing pisses me off. I just can't comprehend why there were so many hate blogs, how they shat on every single post she made, and would constantly send hate for the most petty reasons I've ever seen.

it pulled a lot of (often male) fathate posters. /fit/'s fat hate threads (which used to be "fat people stories," not hate) also changed in tone and got way popular.

Your sister is a champ. Also look into Obamacare, anon. Obamacare and Medicare/Medicaid are not the same thing, Obamacare is a good middle ground between Medicaid and privatized insurance. Their healthcare plans are surprisingly affordable and they have some pretty nice packages that could help you out. A lot of my coworkers have Obamacare because both our company's pay and healthcare packages are a complete joke.

I honestly still can't believe some people were proud users of that reddit. They always just took some random person who posted a picture online and then hated on them.
I feel like there's a big difference with 'putting yourself out there' and actively trying to search for pictures of anyone overweight only to then bash on them.

It also always surprises me (on the farm, not reddit) how they're willing to say that someone who's fat is always a horrible person and in no way things like food addiction can possibly exist.
Or just how even some girls that are average weight get shit on, and if they can't go after weight, they'll say something like "what a huge nose!!". It's always the nose. Always.

I'm not even a fat apologist, I've just never seen the fun of bashing people for their weight to an unreasonable degree.

To the anon in the last thread. I've gone through something similar with my depression. Except, I know how expensive clothes and such are so if I'm at an all time low, I don't even go on my computer. Get in your car and go to the store, window shop. I actually altered what I look at when depressed, so instead of dropping a hundred on clothes everytime I'm depressed, I go and look at plants, and I buy a $3 succulent. I accumulated a bunch of little plants in the last year but it's good, because rather than buying things now, I go and repot a few plants and that takes me mind off of things.

Try to switch focuses from binge buying clothes to something less harmful for your wallet. It really depends on your own integrity, you have to actively force yourself to do it.

If someone's grossly obese in a bikini or whatever, fair enough, but if someone's average? Or a bit chubby? Have they ever been outside their houses? Do they have supermodel mothers, friends and girlfriends? /cgl/ is actually pretty good for this though, much better than I thought when I first lurked here.

I have an eating disorder related to OCD that basically forces me to cram down food until I am immobile. I am in the lower half of the BMI scale. Am I super skinny, no, but I probably fit in with the decent looking crowd. And yet people have told me I would look so great if I lost a few pounds and okay, maybe I would. But it's not really their business especially if I'm not out there posting cosplay pictures and just living my life. Ugh the feels are so strong. I would love to lose weight but it's hard to do when I work extremely hard to maintain.

While I can understand the joking especially when we're talking about obese people, these days I'm really way less into it.

And yeah I agree, cgl is pretty okay with it (some think this means cgl is HAES just because it isn't 24/7 bashing).
On the other hand, cgl seems to have issues with what really is a healthy body, probably influenced by all the snapshots of petite asian girls in jfash, which is seen as a standard.

Ugh, white dresses covered in blood are boring and gross. Guro could be so much more than what it is (it stands for "grotesque", not "gore"!), I'm honestly disappointed in what it's become. Fuck people and their narrow minds, go on with your creative take on guro, anon!

I have a serious question for you. Do you think it is okay to buy Lolita dresses just because you like them? Even though you can't wear them too often?

I wear Lolita maybe 4 to 5 times a year if it's a good year. I am in the situation where I don't have any fixed expenses so I can afford one dress every two to three months. Yes, it makes me feel good and maybe I should buy 'senseless' stuff as long as I carelessly can but I still feel strange about it.

I don't think so. It's your money, your decision, your life. I know plenty of girls who love lolita but they don't wear it often at all, and that's perfectly fine. Honestly, if you think about it, it's unlikely that girls who buy AP's OTT prints or BTSSB's frill monsters wear them casually on a regular basis but that doesn't stop them from buying what they like.
Buy what you want when you want and wear it whenever you want.

What >>8685793 said, your money, your decision. Buy whatever the fuck you want, why should anybody else have a say in how often you wear your clothing? I don't wear lolita more than once every two months or so, and to me, it makes it even more special, like dressing up for a special occasion, even if it's just going to tea with my comm.

No.

Mainly because I do the same thing and I buy like 3 dresses a month when I can only really wear lolita every 1-1.5 months. But it's your money. As long as you're responsible with it and spend your fun money on what you enjoy most I don't see a problem at all.

Eh, you know what, your money won't last them long in the long run. I dunno how much the commissions are but 20-50 bucks isn't much IRL.
Think about it like this, you probably give money to company's you don't fully like all the time too. Probably much more.
So why not bite the bullet and get something you like? Sound's like you get the better end of the deal since you don't have to do the work and you get the reward!

Just start off smaller. Maybe only share it on your facebook or tumblr for a while before opening a store. So you can see what people like and if you really find buyers (even tho there are many other offerings). If that works well you can use the money you made from the sales to open up the store and make more.
And just by the side: Just because there are many doing the same as you doesn't mean they're stuff has a good quality or people like their designs. As long as people see a reason to buy either from you then from others, you'll be fine. It's tough, so be realistic.

Thanks for the advice, anon. I make cosplay themed accessories. A lot of people make tons of flavor of the month anime stuff but my tastes run more old school. It's an advantage in that it appeals to an older generation that actually has expendable income, but it'll take longer to start selling them since I can't exactly hop on new-school anime bandwagons. In addition to Tumblr maybe I can find some other social media sites that use tags and get some exposure that way.

There's been so much drama with this guy, especially when it comes to cons. He's just shitty and a manchild but he thinks he's a goodguy.jpg. I'm also thinking this is because he recently confessed to me and I turned him down. He said he was understanding of my life and anxiety and stuff, but maybe I didn't give him enough attention anyway. Whatever, fuck.

It took a while to find the right one for me dosage wise, some were too strong and some did absolutely nothing to me

It is indeed a stimulant in adults, but in kids, it settles them down

I see a drastic change when I take it. I can focus a million times better and I'm not moody or irritable. I lost weight drastically after I started on it, and haven't been able to gain weight since.

I recently stopped taking it in order to gain some weight, and I gained about 10 lbs in a few months. I have been taking it for about 10 years now and don't know how I could live without it to be completely honest. I rely on it so much

Like...I'm trying so hard to get my life back together, but every time I build myself up she always manages to say something and it makes me hate myself even more. I've tried talking to her about it all throughout being a teenager and as an adult, but you canot disagree with her or argue or she loses her shit. She's so controling and polices how me and my sister look. She's obsessed with us having a certain length of hair, which is why I've grown mine out. It's pretty much the only thing I can do to "rebel" even though I'm long past having that teenage rebelion phase. I feel so guilty because my parents have been good to me, but I'm starting to guess that a lot of my underlying issues regarding my selfworth have to do with all these digs she makes at my looks on a daily basis...
Is it wrong that I was happiest when I was away at college? That was the first time I could choose what I wore for myself and what clothes I could buy, and I had never been allowed to just hang out with friends whenever I wanted before. Coming home feels like I stepped back in time to high school, and it's just so unsettling to realize how unhappy I was before college. I'm sorry for ranting, I just don't know how to feel.

i am heartbroken that you would even ask this.

your mother is toxic. you will begin to recover when you are away from her and can safely acknowledge all the ways she has worked to sabotage you for her narcissistic needs. save whatever money you can for your eventual escape and see if you have access to nearby counseling in the meantime.

she has had all your life to learn how to nurture your growth as a person, but instead chooses to push you down and spit bile into your mouth. you get to detox when you are at college, but as long as she is near you she will be throwing toxicity into your system. a lifetime of that compromises your mental immune system, metaphorically speaking, but also wreaks havoc on your physiology. so put your energy into building boundaries for yourself while you plot your escape.

Your mom sounds like a typical narcissist, anon. Unfortunately, it's often completely impossible to reach through to people like that, because they're basically incapable of ever thinking they might be in the wrong. Focus on moving out as soon as possible, you'll feel so much better when she's out of your life and you don't have to depend on her or see her when you don't want to. Also remember that you don't have to keep toxic people like that in your life, even if they're a close family member. Don't be afraid to cut them out if you'll feel better. Society tells you that you can never do that to your parents, but fuck that, if they're horrible narcissist you don't need that in your life.
Check out the subreddit /r/raisedbynarcissists if you need to vent or talk to people in similar situations. I wish you all the best, remember that it does get better when you've moved out. Take care.

Thank you, I'm going to check out that subreddit. I didn't realize this was a thing? Like, I just assumed I was nitpicking what my mother says to me. I don't understand why I"m so unhappy with my life and myself when all of my friends always seem so confident and able to just do things. Just buying things for myself because I like how I look in it felt like a huge step for me, while my friends all have styles and looks that fit their personalities.
I'm so scared to take the steps needed to start a career even though I've planned out what needs to be done. I just don't feel like I'm good enough or deserve to be happy. I don't understand why my mom has to constantly comment on my skin and such. I just want my family to be happy and I really miss my school friends, but I've been home for so long and I just feel so isolated from everyone. I miss college, but it feels like everyone's moved on without me.

When I studied for my masters, I kept to myself and to be left alone most of the time. I also acted rather rudely when I professionally networked with people. I can't change my social trait of being a catty bitch; that's who I am. Being a lolita has made me an even worse of a catty bitch.

tl;dr I've been told to GTFO out of the profession.

It doesn't necessarily have to mean that your mother is narcissistic (because lbr, she probably isn't), just controlling. Think overzealous cultist parenting. However, that's still not a good thing and I do agree that you should move away ASAP.

I've got a similar problem, my mom has always been controlling my life. When I finally moved away I was so scared because I had to think for myself without anyone to rely on. At first I went into sensory overload, I was hyper-aware of every little flaw and even if my friend told me I had a crumb on my cheek I'd panic and feel ashamed. I always wondered what others thought of me and then asked myself why I had no friends - there must've been something wrong with me, right? Turns out there was, I was so self-conscious that I started restraining myself socially, which made people think I'm trying to avoid them and don't want to talk to them.

Eventually you'll get sick of living in fear and realize you can't please everyone, and if you're living for others, well, that's not a good way to live. Really look around: most people you know probably have something wrong with their hair/mannerisms/habits that you notice but don't really care about because your overall image of them is positive. Your friends have styles that fit their personalities probably because they don't care about trying to appear fashionable and only/mostly wear the stuff they like.

Someone somewhere is gonna talk shit about you. I guarantee it. No point trying to explain yourself and strain yourself to please them. Remember that people don't know everything and that most things they say is largely their personal opinion rather than cold hard facts.

It's okay not to be happy with yourself every once in a while, but only as long as you accept yourself for who you are. If you try to be someone you're not, you're not gonna enjoy whom you end up with.

I suggest staying away from that subreddit, because it's been suggested to me before as well and all it is is a cesspit of whiners and complainers ranting about their family drama, which I don't think you need right more of right now. Instead try to immerse yourself in a book or some costume drama, browse pinterest, do a couple of fun color theory quizzes. If there's a subreddit you should visit it would probably be skincareaddiction, but don't go full nutcase and completely avoid the sun like they do.

Lastly, know this: It's gonna take a while for things to change for the better. Surround yourself with positive people. Get away from 4chan. Go bowling or something. Talk to someone.

I'm still struggling with similar things myself, but it's exponentially better compared to 3 years ago when I was at my lowest.

Thank you, I skimmed through the reddit and it doesn't really sound like my mom. She's not purposefully mean or spiteful, she is just very controlling and kind of emotionally absent. I know she loves me, but it's just how she is but sometimes it gets overwhelming. I don't think she'd ever do anything out of spite, she just says things without thinking.

I'm so sorry about what you went through, I don't want anyone to have to feel like I do. I'm really glad you're doing better! I'm going to try and be more like you, and be more courageous about things. It's just very hard to get back in the swing of things since I've been checked out for so long. I had a friend send me some episodes of some show called "Miraculous Ladybug" the other day, and it looks cute so I think I'll take your advice and just spend the rest of my night watching that.

Sorry to say, but even if you do change to another field, you will have to change the way you act. Being an openly catty bitch is not conducive to being a productive member of society.

Even if you are a mortician, you will still have to get along with other mortician and your clients. It's much easier to share information and y'know, get clients that way.

I called out of work today even though I've screwed over 3+ people in the process because the pressure has gotten to be too much. I gave in and drank a lot. I'm an embarrassment. I need to maintain a 3.6+ GPA to end up where I want, and I have that stupid B last semester from when my cousin overdosed and died and it messed me up for awhile, and now I'm worried I'll get more non-As on my GPA and I can't afford it with how I screwed up my first attempt at college because of my depression. I HAVE to keep it together, but I just can't seem to. I shouldn't have called out of work, especially since my lupus makes anything other than part time work impossible for me and I have to provide for my family, but I can't. I've been drinking whiskey straight from the bottle and I took one of my leftover percocets from my most recent hospital visit that I still need to pay the bill for. So much to do.

Unless you think you're ruled by emotions as opposed to logic, you can suppress your "catty bitch" social trait. You may not be able to change it, but if you can complete a master's degree you should be smart enough to figure out how you're supposed to act even if it feels unnatural to you.

Hope you see this. If you haven't already, look into Glaxo Smith Kline's bridges to access program (bridgestoaccess.com). I used it for years in school to get my Lamictal. They provide the Lamictal for free and pay for shipping from a pharmacy so you don't even need transportation to pick it up. I think you need a social worker to enroll you but you don't need an actual case worker, if you have a community center nearby they sometimes have social workers stop by.

It makes me so sad to see people struggling to be healthy because things are too expensive and they can't get help. The entire healthcare/prescription drug system is a complete horrifying joke. I hate going to the doctor for this reason; it's basically impossible to get any kind of medication anymore without paying $100s-$1000s. I'm skipping a medication myself because a script costs over $1000/mo. It's ridiculous.

I looked into that Obamacare site and that was a joke, unfortunately, too. The most minimal coverage costs 3x what I pay now, and that's after work doubled our healthcare premiums. I'm about to get my hours cut because work is lowering the minimum hours required for health insurance. So I can't afford rent on top of all of this, lol. What happened? I thought healthcare was supposed to be "more affordable/accessible"? Sucks to be poor, I guess.

This makes me even happier to be Australian. As I am on low income/student, I only pay $6.15 for pretty much every prescription. Sorry that you've been so screwed over.

You will never find a job other than working in fast food or customer service then with that attitude and refuse to change.

You need to learn to change your attitude when it's important for you to do so. Networking, interviewing, anything involving jobs and work, yeah you need to put on an act. Many people have a work them, then a non-work them. It's not that hard to control yourself and what you say/do when you need to.

To add to this, make sure they follow the addage of 'start low, go slow.' You want to be on the lowest dose and gradually have them increase if it doesn't work.

I was hoping to head to Tokyo to dress up for halloween, but I've been told I need to work, and work late having a "party/lesson" with 15 children therefore no time to do anything after work also.

I'm quite lonely.

Not entirely cgl related but I really needed to get that off my chest. The costume was around 15$ and is like pic related. I don't know if this is an okay thing to do or if that makes me come off as creepy. I just want her to have a good Halloween and not feel like she's different from the other kids. She also wanted to be Elsa but they were all out of Elsa in her size so I got her Cinderella instead. Really hoping she's ok with that.

Thanks. I've gotten extensions from my professors, but I feel like I'm taking longer than I should (one gave me an open-ended extension and another gave me another week and then I was sick and missed that class so I'm not sure how that's going to play out, I'm up to date in the rest of my classes) and there's a lot of pressure there.
>>8689370
We did the first parts together while I gave her a rundown of how things work. She's handling the embroidery, but I can't let her wear a costume that could fall apart like many of babby's first costumes do and there's no way she could grasp drafting a pattern by herself yet, so there are certain parts she shouldn't handle. I'm wary of letting projects out of my hands because last time I got help on something I was doing because I was trying to teach someone (my husband) they couldn't even cut the strips for the ruffles even remotely evenly.

First guy who replied to the person who freaked out, then to you. That's sort of what I was getting at. I guess I laid it on pretty thick, but my point was that I'm getting really tired of this victim/martyr culture that is developing, especially as it concerns mental issues.

So many people are saying "oh, I have PTSD", or "oh, I have ADHD" or "oh, I have Asbergers" or "oh, I hate how I look, it must be gender dysphoria", and then assuming that because they can give their problems a name, /they don't have to change their problems/

It's quickly becoming the norm for people to never face their fears, their concerns, their worries. It's now the case that trying to convince people to do so labels you as insensitive to their "plight". In our quest to become understanding, we've instead become complacent and enabling.

I don't want to hear "I can't change because I have PTSD/OCD/ADHD/asbergers/am depressed/am trans (listed because while it's an accepted lifestyle, a lot of younger people assume that generalized self-hatred or poor body image means they must actually be the other gender, that explains everything)"

If there is something about you you don't like, you can change it. I don't want to hear "I can't" change. " You can, it's just hard. Everything worth doing is worth working hard for.

Your mind has impossible amounts of control over itself and your body. If a Tibetan Monk can overcome and keep composure through literally BURNING ALIVE, you can overcome any problem that faces you.

Be filled with determination.

This. 99% of the time when I need to vent I already know what the solution is, how to fix it, or what I should do, I just need to talk about the problem to be able to deal with it. If they straight-up ask for advice then ignore it, fair enough. But 99% of the time all they want is to be listened to. There's an episode of Parks & Rec that explains this perfectly.

I don't mean this to sound disparaging, but why do you want to be a "lifestyler" if you don't like any of things associated with lolita lifestyle? Why don't you just enough dressing up in your frills?

You're not the first person here who seems to want to force themselves to like the lifestyle and I just don't understand it. If you're into sweet and you want to bake pastries and have tea parties and stuff, awesome! But why force yourself to do something you don't like?

i am only a member of the main public group, but i made friends at RuffleCon who are members of both. i have no clue which comm or side comm is represented when they invite me to events! RC was my "in" and in just a couple weeks i have been included in smaller, private meetup invitations. but i knew none of them before that weekend, so i can assure you and other anons that there are people who accept total unconnected noobs and invite them to interesting events.

so i propose another seagull meet for sure. even if it is just us newer folk. if we get along with each other enough we can extend invites to whatever cool event we are invited to where +1s are allowed, to help each other break past the "all meets are private meets" barrier.

Hate the feeling when old friends are becoming less friendly. I have a friend I've known since grade school who does crazy stuff, she's a bad influence but I love her. Recently we've been drifting apart and I feel like shit. We both work crazy hours and barely have time for each other. Also I've been socialising with new friends and she looks down on what I do, often getting irrationally angry over minor things, like me getting drunk, when she does/has done much worse.

Seriously, this.

We have a pretty bitchy person at work who is always putting down other people and their hard work even if she herself isn't doing so hot. It caused a lot of stupid high school esque drama and quite frankly, we don't need it in such a high stress situation. It does a lot to really stymie the flow of information that's integral to our work and creates a lot of discord that could very well be threatening. So I know first hand what a bitchy person does to our team. If I was the coordinator of our team and I learned that a candidate is super bitchy and antisocial, I would not want them.

I'll be the first to admit I'm a huge cunt, but I keep it out of work and leave it to vent anonymously on /cgl/

Your sister could be insecure about being single or potentially terrified of coming out if she is gay, maybe it could fuck up her school/work life or a friendship. Going out on someone's birthday and ripping the shit out of them for being single isn't a family joking around, that's just being goddamn shitty.

I can get a chemical abortion (The two pills) for virtually free right now - But I would need my boyfriend to drive me to and from the clinic and keep everything hidden from my family.

We've spoken about it before. We both agree that I sure as shit don't want a kid for another 9 years; I'm basically right on the poverty level right now as I'm starting my own business. He'd probably be happy to pay for it, if it were necessary.
We both agree that it's a cluster of cells - It wouldn't be any more drastic than going to have a mole removed.

But I still don't know how it would affect our relationship.

I'm not scared or worried about doing it at all, I'm just worried that when the scenario becomes real, his beliefs/thoughts will change and it'll fuck him up.

I can order some pure ascorbic acid powder and do that routine for a week - But I'm dead broke and won't be able to afford the $15 until Tuesday, which will be EXACTLY 3 weeks and by then the chances aren't as high.

nayrt, but holy hell you're starting to piss me off now. Get off your high horse and get help, it's the only way things will get better. You're not normal, you will never BE normal if you keep this up, and you'll more than likely fall onto the train tracks in front of a train and get yourself killed if you don't get your insomnia checked out. Mental illness won't just magically go away if you ignore it for long enough, it just keeps getting worse and worse until you're in the looney bin. Think of how your parents would feel if they find out what you've been hiding this from them because you're too stupid to get help. If they were my parents, they'd be devastated because, y'know, they'd want what's best for you, and for you to be happy.

This. Not dealing with it/hiding behind an excuse would be never going to the doctor's when you'd need a shot/etc. If getting shots actually traumatizes you, forcing yourself to get it done isn't going to help you any, that's not how exposure therapy works. You (assuming you were knocked-out-shots-anon) getting shots post knock-out or laughing gas is absolutely appropriate until you've reached a point in exposure therapy to handle them straight with tolerable discomfort.

Please listen to all the anons trying to help. I was literally in your exact same situation at university. I put it off for so long my GPA went from a 3.9 to below a 2.0. The dean of my college dismissed me from school and wouldn't let me back til I'd gotten help. I did make it back to school but I had so many 0.0s (and had used all my repeats) I was only able to graduate with a 2.0 -not good enough to get into grad school. I would have had to take something like 400 credit hours to raise my GPA back to what it was. I literally ruined my life because I didn't get help sooner. Like you, it started with crazy insomnia then vomiting before classes etc, like literally I feel like I'm reading myself. When I finally took action there were so many great resources available but it was just too late to pull myself out of my self-created hole. Please please get the help you need (I know its hard but be completely honest and forthcoming with your docs) before you do irreparable damage to your future.

Yep. My PTSD is mostly manageable now, I work a job alone full time and I'm so happy I've gotten to this point by working hard. Not hiding from my issues. Ftr,I've have two cavities and a laparoscopy where I needed to be knocked out, and another procedure where I didn't because it was less interference. My Drs knew what was up and nothing went wrong because of it.

Seagulls are so fucking stupid that they have selective reading and hate anything and everything that isn't nihilistic self-absorbed garbage. Just label it tumblr and they're right apparently. Ironic that the one with mental illness was less upset right? Anyway, this has nothing to do with original anons problem, I hope they are able to talk to their doctors and get help

It's sad and probably offensive because of colourism, but I only learned to like my pale skin after getting into kpop and anime and realizing there are entire countries out there who like pasty girls. Even if people in my country don't, at least I won't get skin cancer or have to bother with fake tan.

>friend always saying how much she misses me
>she goes to uni a few hours away
>make plans for dinner
>she flakes out
>make plans for lunch tomorrow
>says she would go
> just texted me and flaked again
She flakes for like 99% of all plans we have together, does she really not like me and she's just trying to be nice and not want to tell me?
