Rant: Currently on vacation in Thailand with my SO, and can say it’s been nothing but stressful, (and excuse my language) complete bullsh*t...

How can I approach my boyfriend who has an alcohol problem to help him get healthier ?

Anyone constantly fighting to stay sane? I’d like to believe everyone is the same as me. But my life is literally up and down from highs to lows. And that instability coupled with many failed relationships has me always anxious. Please understand, I don’t want advice, I have gotten plenty. Just want to know how many relate and how you personally deal? 🙂

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

my sister died this morning. I posted about her in a past post. Alcohol addiction, liver failure and then it taxed the kidneys too much, she went into cardiac arrest at 9 am and they could not save her. She was 51. Sad day for sure. Feels odd that she is no longer here. I just wish she could have had a better future.

Only for men:

How do you deal with a best friend breakup?

I know friendship breakups between men are not talked about openly, but I had to.

Best friend was a Male too

So am I naive for wanting to develop friendships with my coworkers? It seems like everyone has a life outside of work and as much as we talk about being collaborative and teamwork, no one on my team actually wants to develop friendships. Is it pointless? Like I don't want to waste my time but I do think the work culture would be more enjoyable?

I hate it when people try to bond with me over trauma when their trauma is that they fight a lot with their spouse or they didn’t get the promotion they wanted. How is that staring death in the face??

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic. I’ve read about people taking Wellbutrin as well. Anyone have experiences with this? I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.

Fishbowl gentlemen, what are you wearing to your holiday party? 👔👗👙👘🎩

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.
