    I’ve decided to start taking issue with something

    Specifically relating to phrases like fivehead and IBTC and the like. I don’t care about the phrases themselves, I’ve used them myself. But it’s kinda starting to rub me the wrong way that women feel the need to be collectively self-deprecating about their stereotypically unfeminine features.

    I mean I have never once heard a man refer to his tall forehead or his card-carrying membership to the itty bitty pec committee and I have a bee up my bonnet about it til further notice or until my blood sugar levels out

    Cmere, you needs a hug and possibly a lot of wine or chocolate maybe both I'm sorry this sorta feels like my fault and you'll never hear that phrase escape these lips cuz I'm *kitten* proud of my blank blank 💋

    P.S. I wuv yew

    I’ve got the same *cough* conditions but something about seeing a bunch of beautiful women I like and respect all saying it one after the other got me feeling some kind of way 😌

    fwiw, it never occurred to me that only a woman can be a Fivehead. I've seen plenty of guys who fit the description too... @iMago 👀

    i think technically im a 10 or 20 head because im bald. this brow stretches into eternity baby

    ninja edit*

    also i love that we're discussing fiveheads in a thread called "whats on your mind"

    Ugh don’t be self-deprecating about your fivehead, only women can do that

    sorry just have a lot on my mind

    I’ll say

    My wife complained to me last night we haven't done the deed in ten days and she is worried we are growing apart.

    Well, I have an extremely stressful job and a long commute. When we are together all she complains about is her anxiety over daycare costs when we don't have any kids yet. And she is the one who landed me in a 4000 a month mortgage. And she will shop only at pottery barn and resto hardware and.... frankly I dislike being around her as she complains about future costs. And when I want to do the deed, she is knitting or watching big bang theory, the world's stupidest show.

    Married people issues.

    End rant.

    Go do the deed. Then spoon while the oxytocin does its job.

    When you want to do the deed, take the damn knitting needles our of her hand and kiss her. Works for me every time, I get really good at picking up missed stiches lol. Also, maybe she's shopping as a way to deal with issues.

    What’s on my mind?

    If I was burning to death, and I needed to call the ambulance, would it be better to say come immediately because: “I’m on fire” or “The fire is on me”?

    It’s obviously the latter, but how to say it like I’m not the logic police? And if course, quickly!

    But what if you're standing on the fire?

    I’d be on the fire and that fire would be on me? That’s like raising 0 to the power of 0?

    Problem alert: what if I was in the fire and then subsequently stepped on the fire before said call?

    @KosmosKitten this is serious and I'm happy you can share here. Know, please, that you're not a burden to anyone. It sounds like more help and support is needed now.

    A lot of places on North America are offering additional free telephone crisis counseling support, at the regional level, due to the pandemic's effects.

    Can you see what's available in your region and reach out to them tonight?

    I'll second this--I know it can be tough to reach for help when you can barely summon the energy to do the most basic functions of life, but please do if there's a resource available to you

    Keep hanging in there, please

    I can see what's available. I wasn't aware they were offering tele-services outside of regular hours.

    I don't think I'm getting better (sadly).
    Everything is a struggle now.
    Mentally, I'm sinking.
    Physically, all I want to do is sleep.
    I thought I did quite well given the year's circumstances and my own personal ones, but I guess I was wrong on that.

    It was just waiting around the corner, like some demented parasite, come to infect me at the last possible moment.
    I tried to cheer myself up and make cinnamon rolls (and did, finally) yesterday, but it has done nothing to help improve my mood. I can't work up the care to do anything creative or really take care of myself as I should. I only do things out of obligation to others.. I don't really live for myself anymore.

    I am tormented by very, very dark thoughts. And sadly, due to my insurance, there is no one available to talk to (professionally) until well into the new year because of backlog/Covid/holidays.

    I'm just trying to doggie-paddle through life at this point, hoping the waves don't crash over me again. Trying to keep my spouse informed just so he's aware, but I hate being a burden or making him worry.

    So someone is nearby, watching out for me at least. But I'm tired of being tired and tired of the exhaustive strain this is.

    This makes me so sad knowing you feel this way. I don't know you personally and I don't want you to feel like I feel sorry for you but no human being with a good heart should ever feel this way. I hope there's a turning point for you soon to start healing. The best thing you can do right now is just keep talking about how you feel even if its to us internet people. Many hugs ❤

    I've avoided talking about it in large because I'm unsure how MFP views such topics as they can be erm.. triggering for people in the way that talking about EDNOS can be. It also just largely sounds like I'm whining when really, I'm struggling to figure out just why I feel the way I do.

    I couldn't really explain it well to others; it's almost like I'm experiencing the emotions of another individual, that I am detached from myself and freely experiencing an overwhelming despair. Almost as though my mind is no longer its own.

    I do appreciate everyone's support. I'm trying to remain afloat and do little things like a chore here, or remembering to actually eat, but that's about all I can muster at the moment.

    It's just really, really rough to know that my mind does this for what I perceive as no discernible reason. Just brain chemistry, I suppose.

    "Just" brain chemistry can make us do dangerous things to ourselves. PLEASE seek out someone professionally who can give you resources to support you. :( You are NOT alone, no matter how much you might feel that way. But people don't know you're struggling until you tell them. And some people can put on a good front so others don't have a clue. I'm glad your dh knows and hope he can help you.
    Keep trying to get help; I know the effort it takes(god knows simply breathing can exhaust a person when depression/anxiety hits) but it'll be worth it. You've got a wonderful spirit and soul, great sense of humor, much love to give; I(along with everyone else here I bet) hate to see you struggle when it could be better.
    Take care. <3
