I was SA’d when I was 12 by a friend’s little brother. I’m currently 18 and still scared to speak about it to anyone in fear of being blamed. I may muster up the courage to tell my sister someday, but never my parents as I can’t trust my mother not to make it about her, nor do I want to ruin the image of him and his family in their minds.
I feel so tired all the time. My life is good and everyone likes me (to my knowledge) but when I wake up, I feel so upset and depressed. I feel like nothing I do will get me out of this and I wonder if it’s all worth it now. I work a shit job, failing at college and struggling mentally with my anxiety and stress. I feel like I’m hurting everyone around me by being so closed off, especially my boyfriend and parents. I’m lying to them and telling them I’m fine but in reality, I cry for ten...I feel so tired all the time.

I am a stepsister and have always referred to my stepbrothers and stepsisters as my brothers and sisters but they always introduce me as their stepsister. I’m oldest and I’m the one with the higher education through a full academic scholarship. I love my brothers and sisters and I’ve told them many times I don’t like using “step” when referring to them. My husband tells me they have no respect for me because they are a bunch of uneducated hicks and I need to ignore them when they ask me for financial help but when they need me I feel...I am a stepsister and have always referred to my stepbrothers and stepsisters as my brothers and sisters but they always introduce me as their stepsister.

Please pray to God through Jesus Christ, read the Bible and go to church or watch it online for better health, wealth, happiness, peace and love. Thank you
I've been in love with this guy since I was in middle school. No one knows this secret. Literally no one.
In the middle school, I liked him, not a fall in love at the first sight. I often saw him when he went to the canteen or just went with his friends through my classroom corridor. Then, suddenly, someday I found him so adorable so I started to get to know him better. Unfortunately, I was a shy, antisocial, introvert and anxious girl at that time. I did not dare to say hi to him (to everyone actully). So,...I've been in love with this guy since I was in middle school. No one knows this secret. Literally no one.

Then, suddenly, someday I found him so adorable so I started to get to know him better. Unfortunately, I was a shy, antisocial, introvert and anxious girl at that time. I did not dare to say hi to him (to everyone actully). So, I just wrote his name on my diary. Looking for his pictures on facebook and everything I could do to know him more. Until I graduated middle school, he did not happen to know me. Even my name. The closest moment I spent with him was when I sat so closely to him (about 2 meters away.
then, He and I went to different high school so I've never met him again. After graduated from high school, I discovered that he went to the same campus as me. However, now I am about to graduate from college, I've never met him.
I've never loved any guy but him. I am waiting for him, even though i dont know what I am waiting for. Maybe a posiblity that we would meet again someday and be together? I don't know.
P. s I never have a sweet story with him, I just have his name.
I once helped a stranger in need, expecting nothing in return. Years later, that stranger became my best friend, never knowing it was me who changed their life.
I once pretended to know everything about a topic in a conversation just to sound smart. But then someone asked me a question, and I had to awkwardly admit, ‘I have no idea what I’m talking about.’ Lesson learned is It’s okay to just say, ‘I don’t know.’
I once tried to impress my crush by cooking a fancy dinner. I burned the pasta and set off the smoke alarm. Instead of running out of the kitchen, I just stood there and said, "It's a smoke alarm, not a fire alarm!" Not my best moment!
I'm in my late 40s. I've been married to my wife for over 20 years. I absolutely love her and the life we've made. However I also know I'm still madly in love with my ex-girlfriend, the girl I left behind to move to the city to chase my career. There hasn't been a day that's passed that I haven't thought about her. Recently she contacted me to reconnect me with her father. In doing so, she and I started to talk again and she admitted that the thoughts and feelings I have for her are mutual. Not a day...I'm in my late 40s. I've been married to my wife for over 20 years.

But she's also married and has kids and super happy with her husband. Just like I am with my wife and my kids. But a part of our heart belongs to the other and we really have no idea what to do with that love other than just continue to lock it away. I truly love my wife. I also truly love my ex. And I have no idea what to do with those emotions.
The Midnight Snack Thief "I have a secret. Every night at midnight, I sneak into the kitchen like a ninja and eat the leftover pizza. My family keeps blaming the dog, and I just sit there nodding along like, 'Yeah, it must be the dog.' Little do they know, I’m the real snack thief
my transmasculine boyfriend is autistic, has DID, is depressed, and has several other conditions/disorders that make it extremely hard to function normally. his point of view on the topic of arguments is to prove that he is in the right, and to explain his point of view to the person he’s arguing with until they’re on the same page as him. i experienced this today, and i can’t get it through to his head that when im upset, i don’t need to know every detail about why i shouldn’t really be upset. i just want comforting and a sincere apology....my transmasculine boyfriend is autistic, has DID, is depressed, and has several other conditions/disorders that make it extremely hard to function normally. his point of view on the topic of arguments is to prove that he is in the right, and to explain his point of view to the person he’s arguing with until they’re on the same page as him. i experienced this today, and i can’t get it through to his head that when im upset, i don’t need to know every detail about why i shouldn’t really be upset. i just want comforting and a sincere apology. any apology he gives me sounds like, “i’m sorry that my actions made you feel that way, BUT..” followed by an explanation of why he is justified in his actions. what do i do??
