    Did anyone have selective mutism as a child?

    Throughout middle and high school a had a handful of ears I would talk off, and everyone else I would not say a single word to. I'm still not comfortable talking with most people, but back then I said zero words to most people. I would actually say I still don't say a lot, but the difference is...

    Drinking alcohol.to sooth anxiety

    Alcohol lowers inhibitions, but it's also addictive and a depressant. It'd be like using a band-aid that is dipped in poison. Temporary fix to the anxiety, but could leave lasting, worse ailments as well. That being said, I think that's something everyone should keep in mind while drinking...

    Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

    Yeah, doing the right thing feels a lot harder than it should be. I'm sorry if I insinuated that you expected reward or something for doing the right thing, it didn't sound like that in your post at all, I just know it can be an easy mentality for people to adopt when they do fall to the low...

    My depressions getting bad again...

    There is also an online chat through the google result Molly provided if phone calls are difficult. And if you don’t feel safe, go to an ER and they’ll admit you and help you. Or a prevention center if there is one near you. There are resources with people who care and want you to be ok.

    Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

    I've seen other people who constantly take the high road eventually snap, and often its when after doing everything right things still break badly for them. And I think it largely comes down to them believing by doing the right thing all the time they deserve good things their way, or that they...

    Random internet photo

    This isn't so much "Random" internet photo as it is "I felt nostolgic and fell down the 'WaybackMachine' rabbit hole and found a page so old that it displays a poll posted by me" internet photo. I stand by Space Applesauce as a valid acronym to this day.

    Lyrics that fit.

    You're weak, broken in a motel You blink, tears are falling down, down, down And you're free, free inside your own hell You speak, "Someone let me out" [Pre-Chorus] And I can't stop this pain it only grows Tell me why I always feel alone And I can't fight this feeling anymore Show me...

    When was the last time...

    Never, my cheapness greatly outweighs my shame or dignity. If I paid money for it, it is going to be used :P When was the last time you yelled really loud?

    Post your favourite music

    If you ever get the chance to see her in concert, take it. I've seen her three times (four in August) and every time I leave feeling better then when I went in. She's amazing.

    Post your picture thread

    Thanks! Probably, I got regular (er, regular-ish) haircuts up until 2015, with me not getting one since then. And thanks, I like my long hair too! Unfortunately father time and my VJ DNA do not, as under that hat is a very receded hairline. Hopefully bald suits me as well :P

    How are you feeling?

    Thanks, I hope so too. I find in situations like this while I can't help but look to the past and try to understand the path, I think what is more helpful and important is to look to the future and understand how to make things best for everybody. It is what it is, and how things work out will...

    Yes, I see it too, whenever I catch a glimpse of myself wearing that hat I suddenly have a great urge to start saying "Snootchie Bootchies" all the time. :P

    What's your relationship with your family like?

    I agree. I guess the one thing I'd say is that moving out changes you a little I think, and that has an effect on relationships. Sometimes it makes relationships with people better, and other times it makes them worse. Relationships with toxic people are likely to be crappy whether you live with...
