I agreed to cosign for my sister's car lease and I'm now dying inside and have buyers remorse on something that's not even mine! But my credit score was better so I'm listed as the main buyer and my credit score I'm guessing shows that it's all my debt.

But like she wasn't going to have a vehicle any other way and my nephews dad literally just died and I did not want him to experience the stress of watching his mom try to navigate their life without a car because they live in a rural area where public transport just isn't really a thing.

But like omg

 

yeah for all intents and purposes that’s your loan - i get why you did it but yeah you should be diligent about making sure it gets paid every month no matter how much you trust/love them

 

I have no other debt at the moment so hopefully no big financial strains happen in the next few years she's paying it off, tho with this administration you literally never know. The only thing I kinda was like ugggh about regarding my own debt is that I've been toying with the idea of going back for my masters on which case I'll need to take out a loan of my own, but we'll see. I've been saying I'll get my masters for like the last 5 years and haven't loool

 

does anyone have like a really bad day like right after therapy like same day and you have to wait another week before you can address it because what else are you supposed to do

 

I still have no idea what I'm doing in my new role and even though it's only been like three-four months I feel like I'm too stupid to ever get the hang of it. Feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

 

Likewise man. Started my promotion in Feb. There are a lot of good days but overall I’m p overwhelmed. Unless you mean your new role as a parent. That’s totally normal

 

Nah, I'm talking about work too. Dad life is honestly really solid aside from the stress dreams about him getting hurt, which are most nights.

 

I wish my brain would be quiet

 

my cat died in my arms this morning

I am not ok

 

Ah man. Sorry to hear about your little buddy Trav. She was lucky to have a human that loved her so much and stuck by her until the end

 

I am so sorry to hear this, I echo Trevor, she was lucky to have you and I hope you were able to cherish your last days with her. Will give my cat an extra hug for you today.

 

god, this sounds so fucking stupid and frivolous considering everything going on in the world (and this thread) and I'm almost embarrassed to post about it

...but has anyone ever been going through a really tough mental health patch, impulsively gotten a drastic change haircut thinking it would help your mental health/self-image, but ended up hating it and regretting it to the point of being depressed over it?

I went from past-shoulder length to just above the ears and I barely even recognize myself in the mirror and think I look infinitely worse even tho my hair has been this short before.

Like I said, it sounds so dumb and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but as someone who already struggles with things like self image, regret, and impulsiveness this is kind of a perfect storm of shittiness for me =/

Sorry I guess I just needed to get this out somewhere, partly because the fact that I feel like this over something so largely inconsequential makes me feel guilty to boot.

 

that sucks to take a big swing and have it not pan out. totally get you there. I struggle with anxiety over my image and a lot of it is tied to my hair. it's right about shoulder length right now and been really curly and wavy more than normal which i like (I think taking biotin started having an effect on it or something). but I kind of feel like I want a fresh start soon too but I'm a little nervous about getting back to like a default guy's haircut. the good news is hairstyles aren't ever set in stone. maybe try something else you haven't before!
