I'm doing okay! I'm definitely feeling emotionally burnt out this evening, but I couldn't tell you exactly why. 🙃 However, I ate some ice cream, and I'm going to read fanfiction.
Have a good week too!
What ice cream did you have?
I just got back from spending the night out with my best friend who is also another friend’s girlfriend and I’m super conflicted. It’s a real mess of a situation and I’ll likely be thinking about it obsessively for a while. The rest of my life is also a big mess, but I’m trying not to think about that.
Tricky situation indeed. It’s worth exploring your feelings before you find yourself going mad over it anyway. At least that’s what happened to me, your mileage may vary. What helped for me was journaling and then eventually therapy which has been extremely helpful
Good tips, but I have a therapist and we’ve been going out to bars and stuff multiple times a week for two years. I’ve really had too much time to think about it. The going crazy part is that they’re looking like they’re gonna break up soon and I’m worried I’ll be blamed despite not crossing any lines. I’m a serial over-thinker so I’m no good at stopping.
Dang, seems like you two are definitely gonna get together at some point. Sometimes I find that while being honest can make a friendship/relationship go through a rough patch, it still ends up being such a relief to vocalize what I’ve been bottling up. Maybe your friend’ll be pissed at you but if you’re hanging out with his girlfriend that often, he’s probably stuffing down his feelings too. Facing the facts can be tough and even if it ends the friendship, you might find you only want to surround yourself with people capable of coming to terms with reality.
We are here to help you brainstorm over anything!
I'm ok bit flat but ok. Gonna watch some Andor that'll help
How you liking the show? I’m in the minority and was kinda meh on season 1 but still thinking about watching 2
I started s1 this week I can't get into it. Decided to start outlander today cos it's an easy bodice ripper. I'm liking outlander if that helps!
It does! I’ll check it out. My sister loved the books so watching the show will give us something to chat about
I have a one and a half year old who’s cute as a button. He’s always fun to play toys with and read books to. Fortunately I’m getting more adjusted to his occasional bouts where he screams for fun. Navigating the load of chores with my wife has been more challenging than expected but we’re working through it
