My girlfriend and I have been together for over a year. Our schedules have gotten tight as she changed jobs, she works weekends (15:00-23:00) and I work weekdays, so we rarely get a full day together. For the first time, we didn't see each other at all last week.
This week, she is off for Christmas and her family is visiting from out of state. I picked her and 2 family members up for Christmas Eve dinner at my place using my mom's car. I reminded her to bring her stuff so she could stay over, as today and tomorrow are her days off, and so are mine.
She didn't bring her bag. She claimed she didn't want to stay over because she is on her period. However, she has stayed over while on her period many times before, and I keep pads at my house for her (last time, I brought the one without "extra spillage protection" but she has used them).
After dinner, her sister encouraged her to stay over. She didn't bring any clothes, but she has borrowed my clothes before. My girlfriend then proposed I drive her and her family back to their place so she could pack her bag, and then bring her back to my place.
I refused because I had been drinking, my mom had explicitly forbidden me from making that extra trip even if I was sober, since an Uber could fit her whole family minus her.
When I said no, she got extremely upset. She was rude to me, refused to help clean up (even when her mom told her to help her mom-in-law), and left in an Uber without saying Merry Christmas.
At midnight, I texted her Merry Christmas and expressed that I didn't approve of her behavior. I wanted to argue over text, but she went to sleep. Today, she says she woke up feeling ill. I ignored it and sent a text saying, "I imagine you don't want to spend Christmas with your boyfriend," and she left me on read. We haven't spoken all day since.

What am I supposed to do in this situation?

Honestly she sounds like she's just being a cunt on purpose. She knows all this shit but her dipshit female brain is making her act stupid on purpose become she wants drama instead of peace for something as important to you as Christmas. I'm not gonna go 4chan sperg and break up but I've been in these types of relationships and it only gets worse, she will know full well that these holidays and events are important to you and will be a bitch on a purpose just to annoy you enough that your day is ruined.

Personally I've yet to find a woman who doesn't play such games but then again I feel like this is a racial thing, you wouldn't get this shit around the holidays fucking with a Latina or Asian woman, this seems like a strictly black or white woman problem

I am 25 and I have always had problems with dreams since childhood. I have struggled to fall asleep and when I do I ussually have very vivid dreams which easily devolve into unpleasant ones if not nightmares outright. I have spent a good amount of my life relying on Melatonin to fall asleep and for about 10 years I used to be on fluoxetine which had a side effect in increasing vividness further, meaning there was a point in my life where it felt like dreaming was another job with how long it felt. I am no longer on stuff like fluoxetine but my recall is still very absurd and sleep is always an obstacle for me. There are times where I know I can fall asleep and physically would like to, but mentally I am scared about the anticapation of falling sleep and the inevetible dreams.

So I am now at a point where I am considering if there is way where I want to dream instead of wanting to avoid it outright and whether taking the plunge into enhancing dreams will help. Throwing myself into the deep end if you will. It's not like I can minimize it as without rem sleep I will be fucked mentally. Is there stuff I can take or things I can do to achieve next level dreaming or is there no point if I already have vivid recall as it is? Will only make things worse for me mentally? I can see myself living my life the way it is forever but at the same time if I can over come this personal obstacle I think my quality of life would be better.

Thanks anon. I'm still on Melatonin to be fair but I no longer take the Fluoxetine (was placed on it at the age of 11 and came off it around the age of 20-21). Used to be on 8mg but now I am at a stage where 4mg of Melatonin is enough to get me to fall asleep. I have heard Melatonin offsets REM cycles which leads to restless early sleep but a later and far more intense REM phase during the night due to intial suppression which could be why my recall is the way it is.

I know what you mean about music though. I had one rough night staying over at my friends trying to fall asleep and I ended going to sleep with headphones while listening to game essay stuff and whatever game was being talked about took place in my dreams. It was a pretty surreal but oddly pleasant experience, but I wrote it off as just one of those weird one off things. However I might try experimenting with that and see if I can recreate that experience and make things easier.

On one hand, I think it would be cool to have a record as I can document things such as the city that comes and goes in my dreams. It used to re-ocur so often I could remember the layout and its variations down to the city market and spire that for some reason always ending up colapsing, or the current trend of the bus or train transit system that I always get tangled up and stressed about because I have missed a timeslot. I also get a lot of dreams of an eastern european country side and industrial estates that are active warzones if I am not trying to survive in a knock off halo or mass effect space installation against horrors beyond my comprehension. Yet all of it is intwined in someway or overlaps.

But on the otherhand I would also have to write stuff down like last nights dream:
>Dear diary
>Last night I dreamt that my mother was talking to transgender person
>From what I remember of the conversation it was regarding the visiblity of transgender people and the normalisation that should come of it
>The transgender person was a male to female and was talking a lot about how people come across transgender people without realizing it
>As the conversation progressed I jumped in out of passive aggressive disgust
>I never outright antagonize the person, but I downplayed the extent of how trans people passed at all
>As we went back on forth on the topic I listed to every detail how you can ID a transperson and how even the ones that can pass for some people are still clockable by voice
>When I was 2 thirds into the argument, I realize that I was using words like "trans-women" a lot and that I was concious of how the transgender person thought of my views
>Suddenly thoughts crept into my mind questioning whether I was being passive aggressive and down playing the sucesses of trans culture, or actively advertising to the transperson that I am into transgender people with how much I know about them
>At the end of it, I was hoping that person was into it
>fml

Dreamscape is the place your brain goes in order to have a conversation with itself about your own beliefs and opinions and worries etc. You should (mostly) be able to figure out what connections your dreams have to your day-to-day life. Your dreams are a reflection of you.
>>
>>34087842
I don't like that implication but it makes sense. Anxiety has been a historic issue with me so processing that would result in issues with dreams. Does that mean "lucid" dreams are not really thing? If dreaming is integral to processing insecurities or day to day experiences wouldn't lucidity get in the way of that? From the sense you are hyjacking the processing your brain is undergoing in REM.

>>34085928
It depends on the language barrier. My wife is ESL, however she’s fluent in English, and generally I have zero problems talking with her. In the beginning communication was a little difficult as we were getting used to how each other speak, but there was never any moment where we couldn’t figure out what the other was saying.

Now if she barely spoke English that would be a problem. I’ve been with a girl who spoke almost no English and we couldn’t understand each other at all. You need to be able to have deep a conversation with someone to form any sort of decent connection. You can’t just rely on smiles and nods.

Am i missing something here? Is girl B attracted to me or is she creeped out by me? Im seeing them both tmrw at work but idk if i should confront girl B or just ask girl A about it. Im pretty close with girl A, not as much with girl B but i was flirting pretty heavily with girl B the whole party, not sure how she might've taken it

Girl A is more important than Girl B here.

OP here, guys I just wanna know wtf was running through her mind when she took that pic. Obviously if I took a creep shot of a girl from across the room like that I'd get fired or worse, why does she think it's ok to do that to me? What's her motive exactly?

Do the frowny smile where you purse your lips inwards (awkward courtesy smile of acknowledgement), and make eye contact. Or do the eye smile thing (squint) and make eye contact. Important thing is to make eye contact (this acknowledges the person). Then you can move a muscle or two. Doesn't have to be frenetic/overdone, just polite. Keeping it minimal and efficient/fast (but polite) can be more elegant/tactful/effective/savvy than going overly extroverted fake-ass route

When you witness something horrible, trauma is formed from the wish in that moment that it would have gone differently.

You're essentially contending with that desire for reversal or differentiation of these events.
Trauma is that desire locked in amber.

> Understanding how to prevent it if it happens again.
> Accepting your agency at the time wouldn't have been able to change things even if you knew what was happening.
> Getting through the feelings you held back at the time due to it being unsafe to slow down and feel them.

Really depends on the trauma and to what degree it affects your daily activities of living.
> What's the treatment?
> Well, depends on the wound.

hi. i need some advice about eating disorders. what i'm really hoping for is like a discord server or several about eating disorders, so i have people i can talk to about it and also benefit from harm reduction. what i don't want is any space with a lot of censorship, or spaces that are about recovery. was on some sites in the past but they've mostly died off now. and like i know edtwt is a thing still but it kinda got lousy with white nationalists and turned mean and weird. so discords would be great pls

thank you!! <3

I was thinking, it seems like a waste to just kill myself normally.

>sacrifice my life saving someone else
Good, but I'm a bit scared of wasting my life on some asshole who didn't deserve it if I don't know them. Plus chances like this don't come up often... I think if it was MULTIPLE people that would be good because more people saved + at least one probably deserved it but again, rare.

>killing myself to bring attention to something Aaron Bushnell style
...Not very useful, and I would probably just get laughed at too lol

Is the only answer to keep living, at least until I come across some rare oppurtunity? At least when it does I'll be more ready and willing than anyone else

I believe I genuinely have undiagnosed depression and I don't know what to fucking do. I've been this way for the past 2 years and it took my room looking like an episode of Hoarders to realize I might have an actual problem. If I end up with a diagnosis, meds, or any kind of treatment I will be permanently fucked out of the careers I was setting myself up for. How should I proceed?
>>
>>34083278
Outside of medication, there are still ways to manage depression. Life changes can include daily exercise, daily time spent outside, staying hydrated, and eating well. If you can afford it, you could also talk with a counselor (not a doctor, so they can't officially diagnose anything) and try to work on the depression that way

Exercise

>>34083290
And a social circle. You will likely treat your depression by getting friends even if the friends will get you into unhealthy habits like drinking.
