It keeps saying my post sounds like I'm in crisis

...See more I've been trying to respond to someone in one of my own threads and the site just won't let me because it says something in my post sounds like I may be in crisis (I'm not) and I should contact crisis support... I honestly can't understand why this is happening. I don't think anything in my post points to me being in crisis. I'm talking about a breakup and I'm not even really talking about myself, I'm talking about the actions of my partner... but there's nothing in there that's concerning. Whatever the AI is that does that is clearly not very good at it and I don't understand why 7cups is using it when it's preventing users from posting. I'm actually really annoyed by this.

...See more TW: breakups My boyfriend broke up with me last week. This is a space for me to write about how I feel and what my thoughts are about that. I'm fine with people responding, but please don't say anything along the lines of "You'll meet someone new" or "You'll feel better in time". It's not what i want to hear and it's not helpful. Thank you.
Frustrated and sad

...See more I'm feeling very frustrated right now. With work, with myself, with life, with everything. I just want to get out. I want to escape. I wanna go someplace where no one knows me and I know no one. I want to go raise goats in the mountains and just feel the cold air in my hair and my lungs. I wanna scream until I'm hoarse. I want to run until I can't breathe. I want to hit things until my arms grow heavy with fatigue.

...See more Hi, I'm Raven. You can call me Rae. I've recently got a drawing tablet and have been trying my hand at digital drawing. So that's probably what I'll mostly be posting in here. But I may also post other things, such as some of my crochet projects. For now, here is my current WIP. It's my first attempt at a digital drawing. So far, I have put 20-25 hours into it. I will keep posting updates as I go. Comments are welcome. :)

My dad is a narcissist and also just... nuts
Relationship Stress / by confusedRaven6140

...See more I'm just here to vent really. My dad is very clearly a narcissist. Anything he does is right and perfect and anything else is not good enough. I haven't lived at home for 7 years, so for me it's not really that big of a deal. I mean I don't have to deal with him. But my poor mum does and my heart just breaks for her. She's becoming more and more isolated because literally no one can stand him anymore. Even family don't want to visit because of him (or have them visit). My mum can't go meet with them by herself cos he'd just join and if they refused him entry once it qould turn ugly. Part of me still loves him. I mean he's my dad. But I also can't stand him and I can never forgive him for how he's treated my mum and brother.
Partner with ADHD

...See more Hi everyone, I've recently started a relationship with someone who has ADHD. He's been pretty honest with me about it and we have talked somewhat about it and what he experiences and so on. But I'm still learning to navigate it all. It's hard for me to tell when his behaviour is driven by symptoms and when it's driven by... well me I guess. For example, sometimes he's more distant and aloof, other times he's very cuddly and affectionate. He has told me that he can get quite big mood swings sometimes. But it's just... I'm not really sure what that means? I mean, are they just random? Or are they just intense responses to what's going on around you? Also, how do they affect your "baseline" emotions. When you aren't experiencing mood swings, do those feelings you had previously factor into how you feel/think/relate to someone? I'd be grateful for any experiences people can share. I know every person experiences symptoms differently, but it would be helpful for me to hear as many perspectives as possible. Also, if there are any tips you can give on how best to support my partner, I'd appreciate those also. Thanks in advance!
Been feeling anxious a lot lately

...See more It's been years since I've felt anxious like this. I'm not sure what set it off :/ But I think it might be that there's been a lot of change in my life over the past few months. Positive change. And I'm just so worried that it can't possibly last. That it will be taken away from me. I can't stop overthinking. I'm anxious about everything 🙃
