My dad is bipolar and I hate him beyond explanation. I get nightmares because of him. Being in the same room makes me anxious.

Hey same. Not bipolar but has rigid old fashioned expectations that I thought would go away after I got older and had a stable job. I’ve reached a point where I just ignore his opinion and don’t take his outbursts seriously, which is still difficult to do because emotions are complicated

Exact same situation with M. Set boundaries or cut comms if necessary. My mother refuses to acknowledge she has a problem (despite being properly diagnosed) so I get you. I am really sorry you’re dealing with this, dm if you want to chat for advice or just to vent.

My Mom is bipolar and suffers with clinical depression. I highly recommend therapy. It’s taken a really really long time for us to have a somewhat healthy relationship and we still have ups and downs but I’ve started healing. And while I still haven’t fully forgiven her for everything she put me through growing up, I’ve learned to have a little more empathy for her and how to respect my boundaries. If you need space, take space, if you don’t want to be in the same room, don’t be. Your mental health has to come first. Feel free to DM if you need someone to talk to.

I'm from a very conservative culture. I'm reluctant to have sex unless my SO and I already perceive each other as life partner (no need to be engaged or married). Would it be very hard for me to date here in the U.S.?

I’m 💁‍♀️🐠. Was in a long-term relationship that ended last year and since then I’ve been on an extended celibacy run to work on myself etc. I’m looking to get back into the dating scene. Part of me wants to just get some 🍆 action (to quench the thirst) then start to look seriously. Any advice on dating?
