What's on your mind right now?

Anxiety. My girlfriend and I have been on great terms but she recently left to go to Spain for two weeks on a vacation she'd booked before we'd met. That's perfectly fine, but my last relationship had a six month period of high-stress, long-distance that led to a breakup. I didn't even realize it until now, but having to suddenly deal with barely talking because of time zone differences and lack of mobile data has reminded me of dealing with long distance and now my emotions are all over the place. I don't want to tell her and potentially stress her out while she's on vacation, so I'm silently dealing with it.

That stinks man, I'm sorry to hear about that and I hope that she comes back soon and you feel better.

She comes back later this week. I'm sure everything will be fine since that's how it was before, it's just that I'm just now realizing that my last relationship made it hard for me to deal with even temporary distance.

My ex broke up with me because he couldn't deal with the stress of transitioning to long distance. He'd had a really bad experience with the girl he was with before me. He ghosted on me after the break-up, and I've just been thinking of him tonight. :(

Y'know what,good on you. Putting your girl first is what a relationship is about

No problem

My dad has this thing called "gout" on his big toe that makes it swell up like a golf ball and hurt excruciatingly bad all the time (especially if touched in any way). He couldn't fall asleep earlier because it hurt so bad and I'm worried about him. Attacks usually only last a few days but this one has been going for a few weeks.
He also has Celiac's disease and gets canker sores frequently. Today was a perfect storm: the gout is out of control, somebody must have cross contaminated gluten into his food, and he has a killer canker sore. Plus a few hours ago he started choking while he was sleeping and it took him like 30 minutes to be able to stop coughing and fall asleep. It kills me when he's hurting like this.

It's 2:37AM on a schoolday with a Spanish writing portion of the final 5th period and here I am shitposting on Reddit, getting sleep deprivation like the good upstanding member of society that I am!

ah but alas , i have upvoted you my friend
2
A girl I was dating and really like and thought we got along well with just stopped talking to me and I have no idea why.
5
She don't got loyalty in her DNA

She ded
2
you've been ghosted man
2
Why is that a thing?
1
She probably found someone new. It happens. Shit happens.
2
Ghosted. Happened to me a dozen times with online dating before I met my current GF. I never went on dates with any of the people that ghosted me, though. The worst I ever got it was a girl that deleted her account 25 minutes before she was supposed to meet me for coffee. Thankfully I hadn't left my apartment yet before I checked. It's just way too easy to block someone and not deal with it than it is to tell them and deal with the backlash.

Oh. It's so brutal. :(
1
The fact I have little amount of friends, don't go out enough to meet new ones, and trying to help 2 different friends with depression and anxiety, one of which just broke up with her bf and her nan just died, and the other one who sometimes considers suicide or self harming due to body image issues.
All while suffering from anxiety and depression myself. (You'd think all 3 of us could talk about it together, but we don't, at least not together.)
(P.s. I'm not some 14 year old teenager attention seeking about depression here just in case people try that one. I'm a 20 year old guy.)

1 friend is 100% better than none. Cherish what you have.

That my dog has cancer and I am going to have to have him put down soon.
4
That sucks man. I have a dog too and I can't help but feel that days are already numbered too. I wish you well :(

Why I'm on Reddit at 1am when I have work in a few hours.
3
Why am I wasting my time on Reddit, I have an exam tomorrow.
2
Ayyy, same. You're not the only one, mate.
Good luck!
1
Good luck
That's what I need.
All the best or good luck, take whatever you want.

Whether or not i should go to bed even though I've been in bed almost all day
2
I am thinking about what kind of one week holiday to take if I just jump on the plane. Luxury or low budget. Adventure. People or no people. A new life on the edge shake up my senses experience.
2
The words of my ex
2
Do you mind if I ask what they said?
1
Very complimentive. I dont understand why.
1
Maybe to repair the relationship? If not to get back together, at least to have a friend who you miss back in your life.
1
We now live in differnt states, both in new relationships.
1
I'm in the process of deciding whether to say yes to a date with this guy on tinder or not.
2
I should probably refill my medication for the week. But first I have to take my bedtime meds. Boy, my lips are dry. Is this pressure I feel below a fart or no. 2? Boy, it's late I should really get off reddit and go to bed, but I tell myself that every night and it never happens.
EDIT: It was no. 2
2
What would it be like to have someone actually interested in me. I've never had a guy like me so it's been on my mind of what that would be like.
2
I feel like I just got a glimpse into like 40 different lives. There is a lot of sadness and pain out there.
2
Should probably get that paper done
1
These new shorts I just bought, I've never had my own pair of short shorts before, and they're super comfy and cute af, so I'm enjoying the shit out of that.
