Sometimes I just want to go back to bed, and never leave it again. No more going to work, no more grocery shopping, no more chores, just me laying in my bed cozy and warm.

I believe Trump means what he says about the tariffs. I have been buying like crazy, trying to make sure I have new work clothes, shoes and some consumables going forward. Things like dish soap, detergent and the like. I don't know what else to do except insulate myself as much as possible.

What!? That's neat as hell. Also stay on the paths poeple, that's how you and the environment stay safe.

Truth. Coworkers too. The good die young and assholes live forever.

I got chills when he said that line. Game wasn't wrong.

I'm nearby and we have been having lady bugs and stinkbugs everywhere too. Shits ridiculous.

Harambe would still be alive. We never should have built that collider.

I love strong black teas. English Bteakfast is my go to, but I love a good PG tips now and again.

I just ordered a new AC after the last unit crapped out. In November. My heating is off and I am still wearing my light summer clothes. It used to be into the negatives this time of year and now it's T shirt weather. Normally we'd have a couple inches of snow by now, instead we don't even really get rain anymore. I don't think we can come back from this.

Been in a drought here since June. Terrified my well is going to run dry, terrified that we are going to have a forest fire.

If we could all stop using wrenches on the wing nut wings and snapping them off that would be great. Either get the wing nuts with the wrench base or hand tighten only!

Here is my advice. When someone tells you who they are believe them. Get out. DO NOT contact police or any kind of law enforcement until you are gone and safe. People like this will escalate if they feel threatened.

You can get new documents, clothes and items. Even if you only escape with the clothes on your back, wallet and phone. Make sure your family cannot track your phone. Make sure any communication you have with your helpers is locked down. Use an app your family doesn't use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord. Have your helpers or uber pick you up a few houses down in the middle of the night if you have to.

You would be surpised who still cares for you. Reach out to family, to old friends, to anyone you think could help, either by giving you a ride or taking you in for awhile. I haven't talked to my best friend from collage for over a decade, but if she called me needing help I would drop everything and head her way.

Also, I live east coast and hell, maybe I could give you a ride to somewhere depending on where you are going.

Lastly, please take this seriously. You are not overreacting. Your life may very well be in danger, and just like with any other abusive relationship, leaving is the most dangerous part. Nothing you own outside of your ID and medications are worth dying for.

Lots of good advice here, so I'll add a few easy things that helped me that don't take much energy. 1: get at least five minutes of direct sunlight a day, not through a window. 2: take an iron and vitamin D supplement, having more energy makes me less depressed. Try a multi vitamen if you don't know where to start. 3: making sure you have healthier snack foods, I swapped out candy for gummy fruit snacks, yogurt for ice cream. I know how hard it can be to eat real meals when you are struggling so make your snacks count positively.

So much good advice, I find being grateful for things really helps, and I would also recommend CBT. Good luck, and remember, one step at a time, one day at a time.

Right? Why should I pay full price for a game and it's a buggy mess, sometimes even unplayable past a certain piont? All this has done has made me wait a year or two for games that I want, so I can get functional games, which is the opposite of how the studios want to make money.

I still have dvds and a dvd player like an old person for just this reason.

This is going to be a weird suggestion, but I used to do professional stage makeup including wigs and bald caps. Has your mom considered getting a partial wig? Maybe a Mohawk or side hawk? It would have to be glued by a professional hair stylist, but it would be an excellent way to have hair but without sweating under a wig. Best of luck to your mom! Losing hair sucks.

Was gonna say this. Fucked me up for a bit after I read it.

I did cry watching that. What the fuck man, how hard is it to make a litter box that doesn't kill pets!?!! You had one job!

I watched this movie in collage! It is definitely creepy and unsettling the whole way through. I never had a desire to watch it again either.

What do you mean, we can't throw him in prison!? IF we had a functional justice system he would have been hung as a traitor to the United States. He tried to overthrow the government and kill the vice president. There should have been no coming back from that. This isn't just hearsay we saw it happen live. Then he sold documents to any foreign government who showed interest, which is also highly, HIGHLY illegal.

If the justice system is so broken as to not penalize a man who is attempted to take down our democracy multiple times, than project 2025 is inevitable. If it not illegal to overthrow the government, than why does it matter who we elect?
