I keep struggling with my mental health and what sucks is it's all from medication I have to be on bc of my breast cancer. I can't handle this. It's worse then a period at times bc you know it's a period and hormones and can do things about it like take meds or relax. I have to take meds and deal with it or else cancer comes back. It's fine if I take my meds but one gives me suicidal thoughts for a week when I get it. Oh and I am going through menopause. It's just all so much
Lol fuck my love life. We both clearly like each other and now it feels like in the span of a month this info about moving across the country has come up and is happening. I am like what okay. Then they are like don't wait for me. I am thinking okay what... Like now I am thinking so like I am going to be some like lost love one may never see or think about? Like this hurts. Makes me really think I am going to die alone. I want to stop being so strong through life things. It's getting so much harder each time. And heck that's for historical stuff too
Someone I have a crush on and keep hanging out with got me new headphones. Honestly perfect timing bc I just kind of threw up on the ones I had lol don't ask how it's a kind of, all that matters is that it's all weird perfect timing lol
There’s always something on Reddit
We as a collective need to brag about how we fucking owned our abusive parents as kids. Mostly because I specifically was very funny and it’s a shame there were no witnesses to appreciate it
Okay so when I was in trouble sometimes Dad would send me out of the room for an hour and then call me back when I was “ready to explain myself” and one time he was like “You. Come” and he had a chair pulled out at the dinner table that he pointed to and said “sit” and then when I was seated and he was looming over me on the other side of the table he just said “speak” so I barked like a dog
Another thing was that I had problems eating meat, like if I tried I would immediately throw it up, but I wasn’t allowed to leave the dinner table until my plate was empty which was HELL but then one day I came home from school and he was immediately in my face like “Where’s the chicken”. And I was like Excuse Me. And he was like “I was saving chicken for dinner and you ate it” and I was like ??? Okay so did you ask ANYONE ELSE or just assume I’m guilty? And if you already think I did it then why even ask?? And he was like “cut the shit you’re the only one who was home” and I was like “yeah…. Except for like ALL my siblings” and he was like “That timeline doesn’t add up” so I was like Okay So Let’s Get This Straight. For the past 7 years every night has been a screaming sobbing nightmare because I ‘refuse’ to eat meat right. And he goes “yeah you’re the worst” and I said Okay. And we both understand that chicken is Meat, right
And I think he must have actually, genuinely forgotten that because he just told me to fuck off and then walked away
One time I got home from school to find him standing over a sink of dirty dishes. First thing he says when I walk in is “where were you”. Now I haven’t seen this guy since yesterday night so I say “welcome home, good to see you too, how was your day”. He goes Cut the Shit it’s 5:30pm why aren’t the dishes done. And I go? Because you didn’t wash them?? And he turns purple and goes “school was out at 3:30 what the HELL were you doing that was so important” and I was like. Uh. On the city bus. And he’s like WHERE. And I was like. Uh. On my way home from school? You know I ride the bus an hour and a half every single day, right? And it doesn’t pull up until 4?
And first he called bullshit but then I was like “bruh it’s been like three years how did you THINK I was getting to school” and eventually he just told me to shut up and wash the dishes lmao
One time I (13ish) was arguing with my younger brother, and he snapped at me to knock it off because “fighting with someone half your age is fucking stupid” which I fully agreed with before asking how many times 13 went into 36
One time we were at a dinner party type thing and I guess I was getting too confident because he came up from behind and put a hand on my shoulder and asked if he could borrow me outside. Now from past experience I knew that what USUALLY happened was a military-style dressing-down followed by “you pull that shit again and I will put you over my knee in front of EVERYONE” but this time, like the closest I have ever felt to a spiritual epiphany, I realized we were both in public surrounded by people whose opinions he valued and it would end his WORLD if anyone saw through his squeaky-clean shit. So like a complete moron with this HUGE shit-eating grin I tell him I’m actually fine where I am. And to his credit he keeps trying but his teeth are getting tighter and tighter while I’m just like “Yeah lol I’m having a great time. It’s so nice to get out and meet people. So which one is your auntie again” and finally he just drops it and storms outside. I don’t see him for the rest of the evening and next I hear he’s in the driveway getting ripped a new one for “leaving early to throw a tantrum”
Another time I got like a $30 plastic MP3 player and clipped it to the inside of my shirt, walked into his office, and asked him to explain in detail everything he wanted me to improve about myself. For like 30 minutes he goes off anout how I’m ungrateful for being clothed and sheltered I wasted food I act like a princess I’m worse than the baby I never listen I’m a smartass I’m lazy I have no respect and he genuinely thinks I might be retarded. He’s at the end of my rope with me because I’m too stupid or ignorant or selfish to change for the better and honestly it might be better if I just leave because at 14 I can emancipate myself. So I’m like “okay cool glad we had this talk” and went back upstairs where I uploaded the entire audio recording to my computer, saved it on a thumb drive, and kept it with me until I moved out. Six months after I moved out I got a phone call from my mom saying that they’d divorced and she had her own apartment and I was welcome to sit in with their divorce lawyer while they discussed custody of the remaining kids. Where I attended. And offered the file
One time he said he was gonna “beat my ass so red I wouldn’t sit down to take a shit for a month”. At which point I sprinted into the backyard and climbed a tree. There will never be a drug on earth that feels more powerful than a “get your ass back down here before I drag you out” from a 195lb man who is 100lbs heavier than you 20 feet down
The next day I climbed it again and left a bag of peanuts in a sealed jar as a snack for next time
Another time he left for work with clear instructions for me to make sure everyone cleaned the house before I got back. After about 20 minutes I said “alright guys, better get started before Dad comes back to pitch a bitch fit.” This was immediately answered by an “EXCUSE ME??” from the office, where he had apparently decided to hang back instead of heading out early to beat traffic. I had enough time to speedrun every stage of grief and land on a truly zen level of radical acceptance before he was literally in my face, turning purple, spit flying, losing his mind about “How FUCKING DARE YOU.”
With all my siblings watching from the sidelines, I remember raising my eyebrows and going “Sorry, this must be your example of a calm and level-headed response”.
He did in fact have to leave for work shortly after lmao
This one isnt so much a verbal own but it was one of those summers we were pretending to be a Normal Family and go camping. And I’d been going camping without them for YEARS so I was actually kind of excited. But then we got there and he was like “help me put up the tent”. Which I did! Until he got frustrated that he couldn’t find where one of the poles locked in and I pointed out that he’d put one in wrong and had to switch them. Which he argued with until giving up and storming off to start the campfire, and I fixed the tent. Well a few hundred hours later I’m watching him struggle to use a hunting knife to chop firewood and start a fire, just cursing his heart or because obviously that isn’t working. So I go over like “If you start with just wood shavings and sticks you can build the fire up for bigger logs, all you need is kindling now. And he goes “yeah no shit what do you think I’m doing”. So I say “you know I learned this trick where if you hammer the back of the knife with a second stick of wood you can slowly pry kindling off lengthwise” and like 0 to 60 he goes FINE then you’re so smart do it yourself” so I’m like “yeah okay” after he storms off AGAIN I just sorta. Did that. And got the fire going. (I was 11 years old at this time, and had been in the Boy Scout program since I was 7 because it would “teach me proper discipline”.)
Another time he locked me out of the house while I was working (babysitting, I was like 15) and when I got home at around 1am and all the doors were locked I started trying windows. When I found the garage window unlocked I pried it open and climbed in, but the garage door connecting to the house was locked too. So, I opened the garage door and took out a ladder, which I used to climb onto the roof. I used to climb out my bedroom window to chill on the roof sometimes so I knew my bedroom window had no screen, but when I checked it, it had been locked too. When I found that ALL the second-story windows were locked, I climbed over the railing to the second-floor balcony attached to his bedroom, where I politely knocked on the door to be let in.
Fortunately for everybody, he does in fact sleep in his boxers
went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, then stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."
Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!
They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
this reply deserves to be here.
we finally figured it out… the deal with airplane food
Reblog to save a duck

It’s getting to be that time of year where more people are going outside to parks and stuff so i thought it would a good idea to reblog this again
Frozen peas are awesome for ducks and a lot cheaper to buy!!
I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters
In this economy you'll be lucky to retire to your nickels
If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on
Cannot stress enough that you say this in your head
timelapse of an evolving lenticular cloud
Man, I fucking love lenticular clouds, man
Bro what the fuck is that thing and why's it doing a jig
A lenticular cloud is a cloud that moves up a mountain and gets caught in an air current called mountain waves that exist only going up a mountain which causes it to have an unusual shape, they are the cause of most UFO sightings :D
happy pride
