Am I actually crazy for calling the cops on my ex and his new girlfriend?
Because what happened Halloween weekend felt like something out of a bad movie. I accidentally ran into my ex at a bar—I figured we were adults, maybe we could be civil. Big mistake. The second his new girlfriend laid eyes on me, she went absolutely feral. Screaming, lunging—like she’d been waiting for that moment. The wild part? I had no idea who she even was. The second I found out he cheated, I blocked him on everything and erased them both from my life. I didn’t...Am I actually crazy for calling the cops on my ex and his new girlfriend?

At 19, I was diagnosed with ADHD and have been on meds for it ever since. It’s been quite helpful to feel normal. In August 2024, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic depression. I was out on something to treat both. It helped with the anxiety but not the depression.so I was given something else, in addition to the meds for anxiety. The additional meds were helping, but I was worried that it about how much weight I had been gaining. So, we switched to Wellbutrin. I think it worked for a little while but stopped working....At 19, I was diagnosed with ADHD and have been on meds for it ever since. It’s been quite helpful to feel normal.

We’ve gone up on the dosage but it hasn’t worked out that way. I do plan on mentioning it the dr when I go back l at the month.
The hardest part is not wanting to get out of bed to go to work. It takes so much energy. I do go to work, but on the weekends, it’s, been hard to get out of bed, clean, do laundry, etc. On my days off I’ve stayed in bed for almost half the day. I haven’t used my rowing machine in about 2 months and I love it. The best I’ve been able to do is to go swimming I just don’t want to do anything all. Literally stay in bed. If I could sleep for most of the day I would…with my cats by my side.
I love my bf and I want to build a good life with him for the long haul. But there are some problems that just keep making me so mad and make me question everything. I know that everyone has doubts sometimes, especially when there is anxiety thrown into the mix but I can't help but wonder if things are going to end up just going up in flames sometimes.
Please stop giving me mixed signals.. Maybe it’s just me but why are you so nice? Are you like this to everyone or do you actually like me? Giving me gifts, waiting for me when no one would. Do you this to every person you’re friends with?
My friends say you’re no good. They say I’m way above your league. I’m smarter, prettier, everything else. Then why do I like you? If I’m so above, why did I fall for you?
Obviously, it was about time for you to get with someone because you had a girlfriend before. She’s really sweet. We...Please stop giving me mixed signals..

Obviously, it was about time for you to get with someone because you had a girlfriend before. She’s really sweet. We met and she’s a really sweet and polite girl and we’re really close now. But why wasn’t it me? Why not me?
I wish you considered us close. I mean, now I see your making an effort everyday to greet me someway, compared to before where we barely saw each other but still— I wanted more. I’ve prayed for you before and now it’s in God’s hands. I trust Him and His plans. 💕
I feel so selfish for wanting "proof" of friendship. I know they're my friends, my closest and who I care about most. They're all such incredible artists... Yet I feel hurt knowing they they draw other oc's of their friends together but never mine... My mind fights me saying they don't care about me but I know they do ... There's just no "proof"
I married young and I loved my partner as deeply as I think I could have at the time, but I've grown up a lot and come to realize that I'm not really getting much out of the relationship.
They're a great person, and I don't want to hurt them, but I'm trapped and unhappy and feeling extremely guilty for feeling this way, because it's not like they're abusive or anything, I just can't figure out how to flip the switch in my brain to make me like them again.
I feel like I'm a better friend to most of my friends than they are to me. I often want to hang out and do things and talk but they all seem so busy and don't want to do this as much as I do. I'm trying to make new friends who will want the same level of interaction as I do. It still makes me feel lonely and sad though.
You know those stereotypical villains you see on TV? The rich, sophisticated, whisky-loving, fashion-conscious, condescending, working mother? I thought those only existed on TV and the movies. Never thought I'd encounter an actual villain with this exact description in real life. Let's just name her "mommy dearest" or MD for short.
MD happens to be the mother of my daughter's ex. I never met her, and neither has she met my daughter. Yet she had the gall to tell her son that our family was a "bad family" and that my daughter shouldn't be with her son anymore, even...You know those stereotypical villains you see on TV?

MD happens to be the mother of my daughter's ex. I never met her, and neither has she met my daughter. Yet she had the gall to tell her son that our family was a "bad family" and that my daughter shouldn't be with her son anymore, even as a friend. This was a month ago.
My daughter was devastated, and so was her son. So much so that both of them had to skip school the day after the breakup. Before the forcing of the breakup, my daughter and her ex actually had a nice relationship. I could tell that they both loved each other so much. This was actually the healthiest relationship my daughter has been in. Only to be taken away by the boy's mom. Oh, and did I mention that they're part of a prominent clan? Makes you wanna eat the rich!
It pains me to see my daughter cry a lot and be in a lot of pain. She even attempted to end her life when the breakup happened. Just when she thought she was happy, in comes the boy's mom, who just sweeps the joy away.
There's only so much I can do as her mom. Aside from prayers and being there for her, we decided to put her on therapy. I just hope she forgets this ever happened, like what they did on "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Because it surely is traumatic for a 15-year-old girl to be unfairly judged by a pathetic middle-aged lass who hasn't even met her.
Thanks, mommy dearest. Because of your actions, my daughter's self-esteem is at an all-time low. And because of your prejudice and unreasonable hatred towards her and our family, she has lost all faith in humanity at a tender young age of 15.
My daughter has lost her spark and her smile. She finds it hard to get up in the morning, because she doesn't have "a reason anymore." As much as I try to make her happy, all I can do is comfort her and give her the tightest hugs. I wish someone can make her laugh again soon.
If you're reading this and believe in God or a higher power, please pray for my daughter. Thanks for reading
My bf always turns his nose up at those 2 minute microwave rice packs, and eats the bare minimum, and I have to put leftovers in the fridge, but they are so convenient for a quick side dish if you need one, so today I dumped it into a bowl instead of just scooping it out of the bag, and he loved it! He ate it all up.
