If you're on hormonal birth control, try getting off it. It has made a world of difference for me. I went from barely being able to get out of bed and face my literally constant suicidal ideation to having moderate depressive episodes maybe once or twice a month?

Start seeing someone, if you can. If you are low income or are a student, you should be able to find therapy for very cheap, like maybe 10$ per session. Start working out and eating better, if you don't already. I know a lot of people don't like to be told that, but it will improve your mood. And finally, find something to love. As lame as it sounds, video games have genuinely helped me overcome some of my worst depression. And I wasn't into games before. I couldnt find the drive for any of my other hobbies and gave gaming a shot and it helped.

Good luck, anon. I understand that it's hard, but you're still here. Why not try fighting just a little harder for a little longer?

Thank you for your support anon. I'm not currently seeing a therapist, but I've been in an out of therapy for the last six years and my experience has been that therapy is only useful for me when I have a specific issue I want to talk out and develop some coping strategies for, not anything this general. I have a job I love, I work out reasonably regularly and cook good clean meals at home all the time, but sometimes things just happen that I can't cope with. I recently found out that my ex-girlfriend tried to kill herself because of things that my friends said to her after we broke up, and I started feeling like I couldn't live with the guilt and the knowledge of how much I hurt her, then my boyfriend was a huge dick right when I was already struggling with that (told me I deserved the experience I've had with abuse because 'I'm pushy when i'm drunk' :^)) and it's just all gotten a bit too much for me. I feel like I can't coexist with other people, either I hurt them or they hurt me. The only people I can make happy are children.

Don't worry, if it's that I see people complain their favorite gay pairing didn't become canon and blame it on "heteronormativity" because in surprising news, the world is mostly straight.

Which reminds me
>see people complain that cis/straight/white people write queer or POC stuff it's not REALLY good enough
>see them talk how only queer/POC people can write that stuff in a good way

Look I even get what they mean here, you write better when you experienced it yourself but holy shit I can't take it. They keep whining about the most petty fucking shit, how every gay couple in media is sexualized for straight people (this coming from people who themselves are all into the yaoiz)

Sorry for the long post, I'm probably overreacting but I'm just so sick of the whining.

I just tried to call out my uncle on using his father-in-law's credit without informed consent to buy a $26,000 broken down RV, one week after his father-in-law bailed him out of $12,000 of credit card debt. He called me a hypocrite for using my parents' money to buy lolita and accused me of leeching off of them. Pointed out that I'm an adult spending the money I earned myself. Then he whined that I can't prove it so now he thinks he won.

Testosterone. Also, you can get way stronger if you try. Practice pull-ups and do more upper body work if that's what you want. If you can't do many pull-ups, you WILL progress quickly from doing them several times a week. I went from only doing 4 body weight pull-ups to being able to do 6 with a 25 lbs weight added in 5ish months (and I am 103lbs). I can do at least 15 with just body weight. Just like weight loss for a fat person, muscle gain slows down a lot after you've been doing it for a while. Right now, you can make huge gains.

If you want to be strong, you can do it, Anon. In things like pull-ups, I beat my BF every time, even though we started together at the gym. Pullups are easier for lighter people, I think, so if your BF weighs a lot more than you, you might have an advantage.

More testosterone = more bone mass, more muscle growth, more body hair, higher libido, and so on. Most males have more testosterone than most females (though some people have high or low test levels). I know at least some steroids that bodybuilders take boost your testosterone levels which leads to rapid muscle growth.

Since men have higher test levels, they can build muscle and strength faster than women. Men are also naturally leaner than women, so they are healthier at a lower bf% (their essential bf% is lower) than women and have more muscle mass compared to fat.

I'm no expert though, so I would look it up on google and find some reputable articles if you're really interested!

What's the longest you've ever seen a therapist? The thing with therapy, you have to keep going regularly to see real positives in that general way. One of the hardest things about diagnosing mental health problems is that sufferers won't keep attending therapy long enough to properly diagnosed or get any long term benefits. Like you've been doing, they get the toolset they need right that moment and then stop going. If you haven't tried sticking with it for more than a couple months or so, maybe give it another shot.

I understand that overwhelming guilt. I still consider killing myself for hurting a partner over half a decade ago sometimes because I'm so disgusted with what I did. I hope you can overcome that feeling, anon. She's still around. She's probably doing okay and has moved on with her life. It's okay for you to do so, too, once you've processed this new information.

We're all bound to hurt and be hurt by one another. That's just a fact of life. All you can do is try to minimize it, apologize and make amends when possible, and keep moving. Sounds kind of bleak maybe, but know that you'r'e not alone in feeling that way. You sound a lot like me, honestly, and if that's the case, you're probably way harder on yourself for the perceived hurt you cause others than anyone else actually feels it.

And that's a shitty thing for your boyfriend to say. No one deserve to be abused, least of all for having their personality change a bit when intoxicated. If this is typical of his personality and treatment of you and your problems, I'd recommend reassessing that relationship.

It's going to be okay. Please keep going.

As for long-term therapy, I jsut feel like I don't want to be diagnosed with any more problems. I had DID and beat that. I had BDD and beat that. Haven't been able to shake the anxiety but at least I'm medicated for it. Can't I just be a normie now?

[Anonymous No.9150254]

1) She's a stylished cartoony 3D model, and I think you're confusing some of the art style deformations with actual features.
2) She's suppose to look like an idol, so of course she has that above average beauty.

So nope, not like your average Korean girl, but Tracer and Mercy aren't average White girls either in that sense. That's what's marketing is all about after all.

[Anonymous No.9150262]

>>9150247
OK but then you still admit she looks Korean, which is my point. She looks dominantly Asian. Overwatch has this cartoony art style but especially if you place her next to White characters like Tracer and Mercy, you can see that D.Va's features are Asian based. It's just deformed, since well, cartoon characters are always deformed. And when it comes to real life, post-plastic surgery Koreans still look dominantly Asian too. You can't look at a k-pop idol and mistake that for a White person. Mixed Koreans generally look Korean too.

Fought with my boyfriend as I decided to not finish a new cosplay with him for an upcoming con.

He was mad because he has been busy working all these while & he really wants to finish the costume together. As much as I feel bad, I am really not in the mood to deal with that...

I always side sweep my one friend who tries to inquire about my sales because she's flaked on me before, takes a long time to finish her payment plans, and has been caught reselling at a markup. I don't have the heart to tell her she's actually on my black list.

[Anonymous No.9150773]

>>9150757
I don't know, I didn't offer her anything, I basically want to pay the price she listed and I have a reputation of being a good buyer and even better seller(cause that's really important to me).
I actually suspect that she sold it to someone from her country who asked after I did and now doesn't want to tell me she just preferred her people. That might be some ridiculous suspicion, but I follow her for some time now and she seems to be from a "birds of the same feather flock together" country.

[Anonymous No.9150804]

>>9150773
Oh, that does sound like a possibility as well. Don't take it personally anon, selling in person is easier and faster. But I still think it's fucked up that she could tell you she preferred local buyers or that locals have first dibs. I'm sorry this happened to you, especially because it was your dream dress. I'm looking on online sales rn, I'd be happy to keep an eye out for you if you'd like!

Who is this White girl anyway? What she's Korean? Now way! She looks sooooo White, I would have never guessed she had a drop of Asian in her, let alone be 100% Asian.. What a trap! Damn those Asians and their plastic surgery, you just can't recognize them anymore!

Just a stupid rant about work:

My boyfriend and I have been taking cosplay commissions for a living for the past year. It's nice to get to stay at home and work with him, but it's really starting to fuck with me. Once in a while I only work for an hour or two, but I pull an all-nighter almost every week (I have trouble sleeping sometimes, so I figure I should work rather than just lay in bed thinking about how I could be working).

Because we're willing to put in so many hours into work and don't have much time to spend the profit, we've gotten used to saving quite a bit. It might not be a lot for those of you with professional careers, but we probably doubled our household income since starting our own business. We're going to try to buy a house in the next two years, so we don't ever touch our savings.

I'm burning out. My boyfriend isn't tired of the business at all, but he does stuff like cutting out my patterns, packaging, answering emails, etc while I am the one making the blueprints, assembling the pieces, sewing, and so on.

I really just want to work on my own cosplays, but the materials I want are a bit pricey, and then we have to pay for the con expenses. There isn't enough time in the day, and if I don't work, neither of us will make money. Boo hoo...

I'm heartbroken.
I had a shit week at work. To brighten up my mood on my day off I decided to make myself look cute as I stayed at home. My sailor cutsew and a pair of bloomers, because comfy and cute. Usually it's only jeans and tee for me,so being kawaii felt awesome. My boyfriend came home from work and everything seemed fine. After a while he blantatly asked me if my outfit has something to do with ageplay or if this would be a sexual thing. I have never been more baffled before and laughed it off. But now I simply can't stop crying. This hit me hard.
We are together since 5 years and I'm in lolita for 4 years. He didn't knew that I simply like cute clothes and hate everthing that sexualises children in any way. Even though I told him both more than often. We had one guy in our circle of friends who is a ageplayer and I told him that it disgusts me. The longer I think about it the more it hurts. He was never too fond of my dresses, but went out with me wearing Lolita. I thought it was okay for him. Obviously it's not. It's really hurts. For now I just want to get rid of all my lolita stuff but at the same time I know it would me make even sadder, because I love it so much. All of my life I've been Miss potato sack and I'm so sick of it. I just wanted to be cute and look nice. It hurts.
Sorry for shitty english, I'm upset right now.

Aw anon i am sorry i know how it feels having your special someone not liking lolita. I hope you can have an open talk with him about how it kinda hurted your feelings and tell him what lolita means to you,... I know that feel of wanting to sell all your lolita,which i did and deeply regretted (but i am back stronger than before). Don't. If something makes you happy, and doesn't hurt people if possible, do it.
If you feel pretty in it you are pretty in it.

He doesn't have to like it but he should respect your love for it and accept it, at the very least. Does he know his comments offended you? Maybe start with that, tell him how his words made you feel. It's possible he didn't even realize he hurt you and will understand his mistake when you talk to him.

Anon, anxiety and depression are more normal than you think. Like the other anon said, therapy only works if you regularly attend it, even if it's just to complain about stupid customers at work, but it's there as a preventative measure, and like you said, to teach you coping mechanisms. The thing with your ex is something you should have probably had a professional talk with you about since it obviously lead to a depressive and suicidal episode. You are also obviously still feeling something over your abusive ex, and some other things, and it is no wonder you feel the way you do. Please go back to therapy and get help once more. The thing about anxiety and such is it affects you less the more confident you are in yourself as an individual. Please work on that as well, focus on yourself for a while. What do you need emotionally right now? You seem to enjoy your job and be happy there, why is that? Can you better yourself that way? You really like children, can you incorporate that into your life more? What kind of new hobby have you always wanted to get into? Try it out, go on a trip, just focus on making yourself happy and living a fulfiling life.

I'll put it this way, it's a quote I saw once. Everyone has it in themselves to save once person in their lifetime. There's absolutely no shame if that person is yourself.

I think anyone would be understanding of that situation. Sorry about your university stuff, but being ill and what happened to you isn't your fault. Don't punish yourself for getting to have things that make you happy especially if you already did well at something. This is all just a hurdle.

Ugh, I hate people like that. Once I sold a cheap cosplay prop for 15USD because I didnt' like it. Within an hour, the girl asked for a refund and to cancel the order, because she "forgot" about a bill she had to pay. I've also had people cancel cheap orders and ask for a refund because they changed their mind within 10 minutes of the purchase before.

I've never had anyone ask for a refund but it probably won't be long. Still, nothing beats this underaged girl trying to buy a $10 item off me and when I found out she was underaged and using her mom's paypal I told her no because her mom could claim she didn't authorize the transaction and the girl flipped out and tried to give me her mother's FB and then her mother's phone number to call so her mom could confirm that she OK'd the purchase.
