[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

My cat died on Saturday. Buried her today.  Knew her for 13 years, ever since she was a few months old & hanging around when I moved into my own place and I was able to take her in. She'd been dealing with chronic illness for the past couple years that was often a struggle to manage, so it wasn't completely unexpected something like this would happen at some point.  But it's so surreal, like I'm doubting that it really finally happened. I took care of her the best I knew how, but I keep feeling like I dropped the ball.  I love her so much.   All my habits suddenly feel out of place and I need to make a change to be sane but I'm not sure what or where or how.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

Just popping in to check how's the forum doing. I don't anticipate being here now, so early Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Happy Holiday to you all.

According to this one dude at my HS, this one gal posted a picture of me in class on Snapchat with the statement of something like "this dude thinks he's cute and knows everything," obviously negatively. But the funny thing is that's probably the complete opposite of the truth. I've hated my body and looks and how they contrast with me as a person, even with gender dysphoria and constant disgust of myself. Oh, and "he thinks he knows everything?" Bullsh**t. I probably think I'm dumber than I am. I know trivial sh**t, like what the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is, but I couldn't tell you for the life of me anything of actual importance. So yeah, oof.

Now, a normal person would just not care, but lil' ol' pansy Koopa decided to silently tear at myself for a body that I couldn't choose, as well as continue my normal ritual of hating myself for no real reason. Why is it that whenever I go through low self-esteem, and try to fix it by liking myself a little, I feel disgusted at liking myself, and go through low self-esteem all over again? Sigh, I don't like having to go through 4 years straight of depression, even though it gets dismissed as "not really depressed" and "too young to go through this." I guess several suicide attempts in the past didn't raise any flags.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Oh boy, I'm in a shorter brace that really only covers the knee. Also, I can kick now, and sitting down is a little less awkward, especially in school desks. When winter break starts, I'll probably ditch my crutch. So woohoo, a little more freedom!

Get a thicker skin, you won’t regret it.

There’s this old dude in the break room at work asking Siri to look up stuff about Monika Lewinsky and the Clintons. He’s always watching something or saying something about Hillary Clinton. He really dislikes her, yet he’s so obsessed with her. It’s weird af

[Cold War Liberal]

I just went from not expecting to find a boyfriend for at least another year and a half (though my pessimistic mind said never) to finding out my coworker who I like is bi and likes me back to making him my first boyfriend in the span of 48 hours. Geez.

Now, how do I keep my parents from finding out...

It was going fantastic until recently. The past week or so he's basically cut me out of his life and won't tell me why. We're cordial at work but he's going through "some stuff" and won't tell me what. I don't want to give up on him but I feel like there's nothing I can do and it's driving me bonkers

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I was invited to a party by a good friend of mine from back in the day and his fiancée and there’s a girl they want me to meet, but I am not vibing with the whole society thing right now and it’s a whole drive.

Nothing matters and what if it did?

I'm guessing the whole bass player deal is done.

I understand you. My first relationship felt like a dream until it crashed, all because of him, and I was deeply scarred emotionally.
I can't really judge what's happening to you, but my ex was a coward who couldn't face me and tell me what he felt to my face. There WAS nothing I could do, I realize in retrospect, and him breaking up with me was the best decision he made. So I'll just say this- if it's a similar situation, move on and learn from it. Eventually, you'll find someone who truly appreciates you and is truly honest with you. I know I did, in very unexpected circumstances- it'll happen.

Far more that I may be in a weeks-drawn out ghosting (surely there’s another name for this) punctuated by random rays of hope. In any case, last night was a non-entity.

I've been away recently due to some health issues, which seems to be solved.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Somehow I took leave of my sense and decided to trust the government to not foul up something important.

My parents have been paying for my health insurance, but this year I had the bright idea to try and save them a bunch of money by applying to Medicaid. The healthcare.gov website told me I'm supposedly eligible, but this is the first year of the expanded program here and I haven't been able to get an answer from the state as to if or when I'd hear back from them. (I tried calling last week but they told me they had a computer glitch in the system and couldn't tell me my status)   And if for some reason I'm denied or my plan is completely worthless, it will be too late to get private insurance unless I can get a special exemption.  So I could be going without health insurance for at least part of the year.

[bagelman]

I also tried the healthcare.gov webzone after being told I'm off medicaid this summer. I'm then told I'm eligible for medicaid.
