Also remember that many of the benefits of living on your own in the city are currently not accessible (or if they are, they’re not safe). You probably won’t be picking up girls at the bar anytime soon.

Gtfo! I lived with my parents for the 3 months of summer between freshman and sophomore year. That was enough for me to never do it again. Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic and we have a great relationship, I just had to be out on my own terms. I was broke AF for 24 months after college but you learn a lot about fiscal and personal responsibility, plus who really wants to throw down with a random in the room next to your parents’? Rent something small and cheap - you will surprise yourself.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today.

I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

I can't wait for things to get back to normal. For my kids to go to school. To see my family again. To travel overseas and explore. To not worry if I accidentally bump into someone.

I didn't get to see my nephew and niece since they were born, haven't seen my sister in 5 years (our family reunion got cancelled this summer). That is all. Hoping for a better year.
