>mfw baby actually gave into shitty Chinese lolitas whining about muh rassism

I feel like a part of me died

so baby ignores where they come from?


a pity they'd rather suck Chinese lolitas cocks than run an honorable business

>>9103469
I'm minorly ticked off that a Baby staffperson says "Americans don't have a good eye for cute things" and other shit, meanwhile Chinese girls get vaguely insulted and Baby drops everything to cater to them.

I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

>>9103474
I mean, Americans don't have an eye for cute things, at least not the "kawaii" aesthetic. Everything that is an attempt on cute is tacky as fuck.

>>9103474
it's hilarious because the staff member said that chinese have hot tempers and immediately the chinese girl starts complaining and bitching and throwing a tantrum

whoever sent the email was right

Hey, good news! That obese-chan I mentioned in the last thread (the one who had a <3 attack at 28) went into rehab for food addiction.

I'm so glad she's going to clean herself up. Nice kid.

Recently I've started to enjoy hanging out with my cosplay partner & best friend of 6 years less and less. She's just become so negative and jaded, and all she seems to do when we're together is complain? Any advice I ever give is ignored, and she never does anything to solve her family problems, such as communicating her feelings to them. Plus, she gets so pissed off over little things- she once told me she hated her roommate because she put the toilet paper on the holder the wrong way and would leave her dishes in the sink for short period of time. I mean, she's just becoming somewhat intolerable at times and I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed with her negativity in my life.

On the other hand, she's the only person who ever wants to cosplay from the same series with me as we share a lot of the same fandoms. I honestly can't wait until I find a significant other who will do cute couple cosplays with me, I need a change of pace.

>>9103500
If you need a change of pace then just roll with it. Other Cosplay partners will come along eventually. You should probably just tell her she's being annoying and see what comes of it. If she drops you, wasn't worth it, if she apologizes there's hope. Complaining is one thing, everyone needs to vent a bit, but if it's constant it might eventually rub off on to you.

>>9103463
>Hey anon let's all dress up in X!
>OKAY LET'S ALL DO THAT!
>arrive in X

Not to mention everyone was like "LOL let's spend the time in the hotel room!"

If you won't cosplay OR go to the con WHAT IS THE POINT
>anon we just want the dance

This makes me so mad

Western cute is often more tacky and aimed at children only.

Feels: wake from a nightmare. I always get them when I browse and post snark here even though I just occasionally make a mean comment. I don't think I'm a true gull sometimes.

My kids just went to their first out-of-state con without me.

So scared! Hope they're alright.

you're probably right anon. After all, nothing is gonna change if I don't say anything. I just don't like the idea of possibly regretting it if I end up losing a close friend who has been, for all intents and purposes, very good to me. Maybe I'll work on just trying to guide her towards a more positive attitude on some things or seeing her in smaller bursts so it doesn't get so exhausting to be around her.

What kind of workouts can I do?

>>9104189

Her idea of being creative is making me cringe. Shimakaze is already pretty revealing. Just... why.....

>>9104231
maybe cosplay = fetishy costume's to her?

"yes, finally, i can dress up in revealing outfits and its normal and respected" which, actually sounds pretty fun.

>>9104189
I swim! Swimming is easier on my breathing for whatever reason and swimming is a great exercise for people with joint issues and the like.

I swim laps for an hour every other day and remember to have my inhaler nearby. Exercise gets easier on you the more you stick to it.

>>9104189
Workouts won't do nearly as much for you as dieting will. Working out is rather used to build muscle or improve organs. Once you've gotten used to a good diet (read the /fit/ sticky if you need help) you can start doing "beginner workouts" (also on the /fit/ sticky) if you so choose. The only reason people get fat is because they take in more energy than they can burn. Eating less calories=losing weight. Medical issues shouldn't impair you that much, all you have to do is take medical precautions if you are going to try to powerlift or something.

Super excited. It's a part time minimum wage, but there's room to grow in the company and it's been on the Fortune top 10 companies to work for for almost 20 years, a good number of those years being number one. Plus, finally going back to school in the fall so this works out really well! Super pumped to put my 2 weeks in at my current shit job.

Also, shout out to the anon that told me to ace my interview and live for me, I'm fucking doing it.

>>9104189
Low-impact walking, or cycling/ellipticals would be good for you.

>>9104189
I mean, walking is kind of the "safe", catch-all exercise, isn't it? You'll have to do it a little bit longer to burn more calories, but a lot of people use it as a low-impact cardio. Also, ellipticals are easier on the joints, so if you have a local gym try it out!

I used to have a cosplay gf to talk with on lonely nights like this.

Now she's gone.

I just wish I could go back and make things right.

No one will ever love me again.

My cat's medical bills keep getting higher. The poor guy is a year old and keeps getting kidney/urinary tract infections. He's on his third in the last two months. The vet is trying different approaches because this shouldn't keep happening (he is otherwise healthy, no diseases or anything).

Anyway, I'm worried about him and it looks like I'll have to sell off a bunch of my lolita main pieces to cover all of the bills (special foods, medicines, tests). I love lolita but I love my cat more.

Recently, I've made a large Taobao order and I've gotten the majority of my family involved in the order. I've bought my disabled niece a cute dress and some (30) hairclips to wear during therapy, that my mom chose out. My dad also wanted to get a shirt for himself.

It makes me really happy that for once, I'm not seen as the black sheep in the family and I'm helping my family get some things too.

go on walks with maybe very light jogging (I don't know how heavy your asthma is, maybe you could go jogging if you use inhaler/other medicine first?), maybe try gentle body weight fitness or light strength training (but very carefully - maybe consult a doctor regarding exactly what kind of exercise you can do without breaking everything)

I missed out ordering it first because I set money aside for the con, and now I missed out the auction as well. I messaged the seller if the doll is still available but so far, no answer and I think it's been sold. A-at least I have money now, right?

Honestly, if you're nearing 30 and don't have a job, reliable transportation, or a savings you're fucked. Even with 2/3 you're never going to be a responsible adult at this point. You probably don't even realize the way you're operating is bad and you've only sabotaged your adult life up until this point.
I feel like I'm moving way ahead of some of my friends at this point and I didn't think it would be a huge issue but a couple of them just let me down really hard with how irresponsible they are recently.
I like these friends and we share a lot of the same interests and hobbies but I can't rely on them worth shit. Every time we're offline it's like:
>Let's get food! Ok now that we're here I can't order anything because I don't have money so I'm going to stand here and make you feel bad until you buy me something.
or
>Let's hang out! OK last minute I don't have my car available to me so instead can you come to me?
or
>Let's do this cosplay together! OK now that you've bought everything for your half of duo, I actually didn't buy anything for my half and the con is in 3 weeks so I don't think there's a point in me cosplaying at all anymore. You can't still wear your part if you want.
I always feel like I'm the mom in the group and like they hang out with me expecting me to take care of them. Like they plan a trip but I need to figure out directions, figure out how much money they need, eventually bail them out when they fuck something up (no transportation, no money, they forgot a phone charger so I have to let them waste my whole emergency battery, basically pack their bags for them because they can't get out of the fucking hotel-which is under my name-at checkout on their own). It's really stressful and I just can't deal with it anymore. It's not reasonable to expect this from your friends.

>>9104976
One was cosplaying Noiz from DMMD and the other was part of a Punk! Sailor Moon group

>>9105146
Get better friends, anon. Me and most of my friends are under 25, and many are still students with a low budget. Still, they have more of their shit together than the friends you described.

If at alsmost thirty they haven't improved, there's little to no hope left. Go get some mature, reasonable friends and cut these people out of your life.

>been plagued with mosquitoes the entire summer

I can't wait for the inevitable bite in the middle of my face during the con.

I have worked so hard to build up a cohesive wardrobe so I could go to meets and I've only gone to one so far. I have a horrible time trying to relate to people and planned on going to a meet today but cancelled because I was having so much anxiety about going that I started having nightmares where I was being asked to leave when I showed up and things like that.

There is a huge comm where I live and everyone seems really nice but I'm almost positive I don't have anything in common with these people besides lolita. And not only that but they all seem pretty normie outside of their one weird hobby?

I don't play Pokemon, I don't watch anime or any popular tv shows... I really don't have anything to talk about and I just feel like an outsider in every single situation I put myself into, even lolita.

I also go to therapy but it hasn't seemed to do much as I have a hard time controlling my breathing during panic attacks and it takes a long time for me to calm down from one still even though I've done 2 years of therapy now. Even with breathing exercises, I am still upset for the rest of the day and can't function like a normal human being.

And I never feel like a person anymore. I would say I'm dead inside if I wasn't crying my eyes out all the time.
I hate feeling this way and I have tried everything other than medication but I'm scared if I start taking meds, I'll go back to self harming, and then I'll lose everything I have...

>>9105051
Eh, it sounds like she needs to get it put down which can be quite a bit of money. She's gonna end up selling dresses either way. Especially if she just up and gets a new cat.

I guess that's inevitable. It sucks though. I think I can just start by no longer letting them guilt me into stuff and when they make a big deal out of it I can walk away. I'm just worried it'll turn into an issue where everything is my fault for being mad rather than their fault for being shitty.
At least I have a couple people who have their shit together and are cool.

I'm debating on quitting cosplay and jfash just to be able to go to conventions and be able to stay with her in our own hotel and just relax around and get away from my toxic group of friends. I've seen similar stories in these threads and how people are much happier once they quit, so I think I will.

Hey, uh, if your 2 years of therapy haven't helped to improve anything, try a different therapist. And make sure they practice CBT, since it's statistically the "best" option for anxiety. Everyone is different and every therapist is different. Even if your therapist isn't bad, per se, most people need to do some shopping around before they find a therapist who is really great for them.

That being said, maybe you should try meds? If your therapist is supportive of the idea, of course. I have a lot of friends that say they've really helped. I'm not a medical professional, so take all this advice with a grain of salt. Whatever you choose to do, I hope it helps you improve your anxiety!

It look absolutely horrendous. She was wearing a mustard yellow skirt with a black ribbon on the back, faux laced up knee high socks, black Converse sneakers, and a tuxedo shirt. I really I could have taken a picture of it to show how horrible it was, but I was at work at the time.

>>9105392
I've gone through a few therapists already, I go through a school cause it's cheap.
I don't think I can do meds.

I think I mostly have anxiety because of my upbringing which I am finally getting into with my current therapist. The one I had before that helped me get over my self harm, which is why I really don't want to go on meds cause I bet I'd lose all control then. I'm already pretty out of control.

>>9105560
i don't know where you're getting this idea that meds will somehow make you lose control but it's most likely very incorrect. it's true that most meds for mental health shit have a potential to increase suicidal thoughts/behaviors, but it's a very slim chance, and if it does it's generally easy to catch it and fix the problem before it goes south, as long as you're keeping a careful eye on things. i'll say it did happen to me once and it was scary as hell, but now that i've found meds that actually work for me my life has improved exponentially. everything's worth a try, and if it doesn't work, you can always stop taking them. besides, most anti-anxiety meds are prns so you only take them if you feel like you need it, unlike most meds that are every day. i'm just saying you shouldn't be so quick to write it off

to keep things on topic, my own feels:
>recently had a bunch of large necessary expenses out of the blue
>working very few hours right now so not making a lot of income
>now completely broke and struggling with it bc i just want to make cosplays and buy video games but i have no money rip

There's a lolita I really like, but she's aromantic and possibly gay.

Also, I was cooking naked because I have the house to myself and I accidentally knocked a shaker over with my penis; It rolled under the damn fridge. Fuck.

I feel so demotivated, I have so much time I can't use, I'll lose an entire month's salary and maybe even more, work is pissed because I am sick, parents think I'm a lazy piece of shit and don't take the tendonitis serious (despite my family having a history of chronic diseases like these)...
The only things that bring me any enjoyment are watching old sitcoms and animu, and playing Pokemon go because this game requires only one hand to play.
I just wanna use my arm again ;_;

Went to a friends birthday party, fancy dress theme was musicals.
No time or money so I decided to pull a costume together out of my wardrobe for Mary Poppins.
I go for black full skirt I wear with Goth looks, high neck blouse I thrifted for classic lolita, black jacket from my workwear, plus brooch at the neck, straw boater (also brought for lolita), one of my parasols and a giant ugly bag I got given at a boot sale for carrying books home in that was on the 'to donate' pile. Put my hair up by pining braids to the nape of my neck.
Overall = vaguely Mary Poppins but nothing screen accurate. I was just happy people recognized who I was meant to be!

Lovely party but I had to leave early, saying my goodbyes 'oh don't go, you are nominated for one of the costume prizes- most stage ready!'

Two feels
1. I don't even cosplay but visiting this board makes me feel guilty about an inaccurate costume getting praised, especially by people who've seen the musical in question heaps of times.
2. My normal clothes have got to the point of being passably Edwardian with so little effort that I'm kind of proud.

The more I play this game the quicker I am losing interest in it because it's so unfair. People who live in cities seem to get more spawns and Pokestops up the wazoo, and if you live in a more rural area, you're fucked. It's no fun when what takes you two weeks of walking about 7 miles a day to achieve, is done within 3 days by simply going to the Natural History Muesem or something. I wish they'd give city placers a handicap, like Pokestop cool downs are 20 minutes or something.

I know your feeling though but at least some weird Ingress player tagged a water tower down the road about a mile from me so I have something to work up to. All I can suggest is maybe going to your friend's house to hang out for a few hours and play together? There you can stock up on eggs to hatch when you get home.

Iktf, I live in a country where it's sunny until about 3AM and I get off from work at 8. By the time I get to play the servers are packed full and I can't log in because it's not hot outside anymore so everyone goes out to play Pokemon Go.
I'm lvl 4, I can only ever get it to work in the morning when everyone's at work.

I knew this feel too, it was awesome.

Then crunch time comes upon us, and I realize he's done jack shit for 3 months except buy some materials. I offer to "help" which means now I am putting together a rushed cosplay in like 2 weeks, on top of finishing my own. He can't sew, he can't cut, he can't glue, he can't do ANYTHING without me sitting down and taking the time to show him. And then when I leave it in his hands, it takes him forever and it's still all fucking janky. He has zero artistic or creative-thinking / problem-solving ability but HUGE overreaching plans and ideas. So nothing ever comes to fruition unless I do it for him.

I love him, but it's annoying.

>>9105905
I live in a city but am still very low level because the damn game still crashes on my half the time. The map won't respond, the thing will crash while I'm trying to catch something, or the pokestops won't work, and then the game won't re-open for me until I try an hour or two later. I want to play but it really kills my interest when odds are I'm going to get pissed off at it in fifteen minutes.

you are not your mother or your friends, the exact effect of any sort of mental health medication varies hugely between people. you'll never know unless you try, and on top of that there are so many different types that it's practically impossible all of them will be horrible. I understand if you odn't want to try them and you don't have to make excuses for that, but the reasons you've given are really weak.

>>9106024
take it down and put it up again after the sale, maybe?

I am bit out of LaceMarket's situation right now. Learnt irvhas virus infected and shut down (??) and now I'm losing my sleep over it because recently bought dreamm dress of mine from seller if LM.

I mean how come no one has an answer other than take meds though?

>>9106416
Because meds generally work. That's literally it. Meds work a majority of the time for people, maybe not on the first try but after a few trials you start figuring out the right dosage and everything. Speaking from personal experience here.

Pokestops and such are based on locations added by players in Ingress. You can make stops out of churches, public art pieces and such. Have a little statue or fountain in your town? Have a church? Have a bench with a plaque on it? Submit it via Ingress. When it's accepted and pokemon rolls out an update, you'll have a local stop.

Ty. I'm relieved.

>>9106416
Most good therapists/psychiatrists will recommend the combination of therapy and drugs, mostly for the reason that the majority of research shows that the combination of the two gives the most effective results. Like, there's years of research showing they work for a good amount of people.

Mental health is still a relatively young field, though, and its so diverse from person to person and culture to culture that there isn't really a catch-all cure for any mental disorder. The best we have is, "Well, multiple clinical studies have shown this works for a small majority of people, so....". You have to keep trying until you find what fits you.

If meds fit you and make you functional so you can work towards recovery, why wouldn't you take them?

Hey anon, been there. My best friend of 15 years (we knew each other since kindergarten) killed herself almost 3 years ago now. I'm so sorry you, her family, and everyone who loved her is going through this. No one should ever have to. It can feel impossible to get through, but time really is the best healer.

If you want, go ahead and talk about her with me. I remember venting a lot on the internet when my friend passed. If you don't want, since I am just a stranger on the internet, I hope you're talking with your family, mutual friends, and other trusted people so you can stay sane after such a life-changing shock.

>>9106609
>would normally turn to friend for comfort, but the friend I always turned to is the one that killed herself

Own feels:
>Doing an idol group cosplay for an upcoming con
>Not cosplaying my best girl or anything but super excited because I love idols and will cosplay them with other girls my age for the first time
>One girl posts that she just did a costest of her girl, posts a picture in our fb group
>Mentions that she won't be using a wig
>Everyone else is using one, so I try to gently suggest that maybe we'd all look more cohesive if everyone wore a wig
>She agrues that she's been in groups before and everything looked "just fine" without a wig
>Another girl also comments, saying that no wig will looks great
>Feel like a bitch for bringing it up but also don't want to coddle someone into thinking using their real hair is just as fine as using a wig

I just wanted to be cute idols with other girls, but... not like this...

Thank you. She was just a really sweet, warm person. I don't have any bad memories of her. We used to take naps together between classes. She was the sort of person that would cuddle you exactly when you needed it. When some really rough things happened to me, she was the one that was there for me.

Her death was just so sudden. I had known she was upset, but we had drifted apart because she had moved. I had no idea how devastated she really was until she was gone. I wish I had made more of an effort with her after she moved away. Maybe I could've been the one who had comforted her, if only she had reached out for help.

I can genuinely say I loved her, and love is something I feel for very few friends. I still can't believe she's really gone.

>>9106655
I'm sorry about your sister. I can't even imagine how much it hurts to lose a sibling. I hope you're hanging in there as best you can.

>>9106668

>>9106731
I know that feeling, but if the con is in the winter, I'd say you have a good amount of time. I'm not saying to quit dieting or exercising at all, since that can also be a great tool for getting things off your mind and working out your feelings, but if you're already under a high amount of stress, you shouldn't push yourself too hard. The weight will come off all in good time; just try to be kind to yourself and wait until you're feeling more yourself before adding on the stressor of trying to lose weight.

Part 1:

>don't have a lot of cosplay/anime/anything friends
>recently start selling cosplay stuff I've made
>friend pops up "let me commission you, anon!" and acts really sweet and friendly
>initially excited, but then anxiety rears its nasty head
>I've just been making items I like and selling them, not really taking commissions
>worry about motivation and commitment to completing their project
>worry about ordering fabric, doing custom details, making them happy
>friend has been really distant for a long time and hasn't really talked to me in months
>start to feel like I'm the only one invested in their costume because they take forever to respond to anything even though they're openly posting and talking to others online
>I feel like I have paragraphs upon paragraphs talking about details of their items
>also make a detailed reference sheet for fabric suggestions and other materials
>Responses are "That's fine." "Okay" "I don't really care."
>doesn't seem to give a crap about any of it
>then why the fuck are you trying to commission me?

>>9106755
Part 2:

>give them a deeply discounted quote for fabric only.
>quote does not include anything like labor or overhead
>also offer to reduce the price by using some of my own fabric
>going to put time into detailing everything meticulously by hand, putting in a ton of effort for nothing, losing a lot of money
>wonder why am I even bothering with this?
>"Okay, anon, I have money to put down a deposit."
>think about all the money and time I'm gonna lose/waste on someone who doesn't seem to care

I panicked and backed out but I'm still really upset by their attitude. I know I'm the one setting myself up to be used but is it really that shitty to expect some gratitude? I probably would have gone through with their commission if they had given me a thank you for the discount or made a point of recognizing that I was trying to be generous.

They also picked something they knew I was interested in making long before this and now I'm wondering if they chose it because they thought I'd do it for free because "friendship."

Also:
>two hours later they post they’re broke on social media

Then how were you going to afford the deposit?

This was two years ago, and i've since finished school. I know what it's like.

I just feel useless about the whole thing, and it still bugs me. Her bf had it worse, and he basically exiled himself from the outside world for almost a month. He still comes to cons with us sometimes, and we're still good friends.

Oh, anon. Do your best to hold on to those memories and celebrate the time you were fortunate enough to spend together. It will give you something to smile about once the emptiness and pain have (mostly) passed. With how many people there are in the world, it's amazing when you cross paths with someone who becomes so special to you. She sounds like she was an absolute joy to be with.

You did your best given the information you had. Sometimes there aren't any real warning signs, sometimes you can't do anything. Depression and other mental disorders are just as deadly and senseless as other diseases.

Me three. I want to try to break the cycle but I'm not sure where to start...

Recently I noticed the toxicity of a old friend, who long story short was giving me some negativity in my life (like shit talking me and those I know behind our backs for one). But we gradually went our separate ways since they were pursuing different things cosplay and life wise, so I took this as a chance to just distance myself and just not be part of that anymore. When we do come across each other it's a simple hi and some small talk, and neither of us put more effort into furthering it which was fine with me.

Well recently we met again and I was talking to someone when they came over to our group. I was caught up in the conversation so I just waved hi and smiled before resuming my talk and said bye when they left. They were chatting with others in the group anyways.

A little after my friend told me they threw a public fit that I don't pay them any attention and how things changed since we last were together (which was probably 2 years ago mind you) and basically going on how I treated them like crap.

They've caused me more harm then I have them. I never mentioned anything about them, I just silently went my way while they they went theirs. And now here they are complaining that I'M the one being the terrible person. I shouldn't be upset over this but I am, and mostly mad that I'm feeling this way since this is exactly what I've been avoiding.

>tfw you're still not over old con relationship drama and you don't think you're gonna get over it without therapy and you're really mad at yourself for not being able to deal with it without therapy

>>9104519
The one time I ever encourage people to make a gofundme is to help with animal medical bills. Tumblr (and to a lesser extent FB) loves stuff like that, and this is how my friend was able to pay for some emergency vet bills when her cat broke her leg. You probably won't get a ton but a few hundred dollars can't hurt.

Count calories. Eat less. That's all. You have no excuses. I've just lost 30lbs in 13 weeks after years of being an overweight piece of shit complaining about "muh can't lose weight, muh genetics". Calories in, calories out is the only secret. Also don't think of it as dieting but rather as a lifestyle change. And stop soda, even diet soda, that shit makes you crave sugar. And yes, count calories for drinks too, but try to avoid anything else than water, sugarless tea or sugarless coffee (especially alcohol).

My grandma helped me make most of my coords, and now she's MAYBE hours from death. Damn it.

>>9107045
Don't mind me asking but what was your SW and how much calories you were eating?

My starting weight was 150lbs and I am 5'2.4" so i had an bmi of 27.
I used one of those TDEE calculators (TDEE= amount of calories needed daily to maintain your weight)
(I used this one if you are interested : http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html?) And it gave me 1700 kcal/day. So as /fit/ advices to cut/add 500 kcal to your tdee to lose/gain weight I ate around 1200kcal/day for a few weeks in the beginning, and after one month or so I calculated again my TDEE and then ate 1100kcal/day, etc. When we count calories we tend to understimate them though so try to add the calories of the butter/oil you use when cooking or if you're not sure what amount could be what you're eating, either try to weight your food as much as possible or to exagerate the amount. Drink a lot of water whenever possible, especially before meals, so you'll feel filled way more easily and won't eat as much. Try to not serve yourself more than once unless the portion you had was small and that's a low-calories dish, try to not drink your calories (only drink water, tea, etc whenever possible), to not snack (or snack on a banana or other fruits), and to eat really slowly. I know that's a lot but just counting calories, even with snacks and all, should already do wonders. You can do cardio whenever you're motivated to do it as it'll make you burn a bit of calories, but try to stick to 500 under your tdee and to not reward yourself with food after exercise. (try to calculate your tdee as if you're completely unactive)

>>9107119
If you go to some fast food try to input your calories in your calorie tracker before ordering, it'll make you order less when realizing how fucking caloric it is.

I'm just sick of people spreading misinformation about weight loss. It's shit like this that makes obese people think "oh, it's muh metabolism, muh genetics, skinny people are just lucky, bluh bluh bluh". You make people feel like the world is unfair and they can't change when in reality the only thing you're doing differently is eating below your TDEE

>>9107211
Honestly, why not wait until you finish school? Puppies are a lot of work, it'll be a lot easier if you don't have to divide your attention too much. I know they're super cute, and it's easy to get impatient, but both you and the puppy will do better if you have a lot of time to devote to his training and exercise.

Using therapy to work through things is nothing to be mad at yourself for, anon! Everybody needs a little help sometimes.

>>9107242
it doesn't sound like you're depressed so much as you're constantly on your period

>>9107242
Is crying for no reason related to depression? Due to the stress of my exams (which are now over) and of lots of other things I'm like really emotionnally instable and cry even when watching advertising videos with puppies or whatever. I never had done that before. And to keep that on topic I cry when I win or lose an auction for a dress or even when thinking about lolita sometimes. I cry all the time. Please help.

>>9107340
If it's very recent, it could be lasting stress from your exams. Depending how old you are, it might be hormonal as well.

Depression isn't strictly crying a lot, that's more so stress getting to you and overwhelming you. It's a very deep set feeling of being exhausted and miserable- but if you're just constantly crying, it might be worth seeing a therapist. You might just need to vent and get all the stress out do your system- people usually don't realise that's what they need until they're in a situation where they can open up. A good therapist will create that sort of environment for you!

>>9107348
Thank you anon. I'll try to do that.

>>9107327
yeah anon maybe you're right, maybe it's all because I'm on birth control which makes my periods shorter which means not all of my period rage gets out in the time of my period!!! thank you anon you're truly a genius
jesus fucking christ I'm on medication and in therapy you can stop now

>>9107340
it can be but I'd first look at your stress situation and then your hormonal situation, just as >>9107348 said.
depression for a lot of people is more of a black hole, a lack of emotion, energy and/or will to live, usually, but those feelings along with self image issues and self doubt (which also come in the package quite often) can definitely cause a lot of crying. you could definitely consider seeing a therapist (psychologist), it can't hurt. school ones are often a decent place to start but I don't know how that'd work in the summer (I've only been to private specialists)

>>9107364
pretty sure that second one is legit suable as unfair preference or some shit, but I understand if you just can't be fucked to bother with it. it's a super shitty situation, I'm also looking for a job that needs licencing but I also don't have the licence, and I've been fucking ignored for months now by the people in charge of licencing

Thanks but I'm after a specific breed. If I wanted any puppy then I would have rescued one but since I've waited a decade for this, I'm getting what I've been wanting

>>9107216
maybe shift your focus instead? Rather than depending on your follower count and likes, just focus on how you feel after you post something. You shouldn't define your self-worth by those things since they are meaningless anyway

I'm so tired. So tired of this bitch I used to be friends with talking shit about me to people and people actually eating that shit up. I try so hard not to talk shit, to be nice to everyone cause I hate conflict and I genuinely like 99% of people I meet, but I'm afraid this bitch is going to make everyone hate me. It's even making me consider leaving the cosplay community, and I love cosplaying, and I love the social part of cosplay... I just want her to leave me alone... Plus I have anxiety and this is definitely not helping.

>>9107474
Just ignore it

>>9107474
How does the community been treating you? It's one thing to have them back you up and another thing for them to back her up.

I swear, you guys need to step up your transference game. People actively spreading shit are the easiest to deflect... all you have to do is go to the people that she's manipulating and act all concerned. "I'm worried bitch doesn't like me.." is a thing you can say. She's already shown them that she's untrustworthy by spreading shit about you, so you just need to reinforce your trustworthiness. Also general opening up to people, talking about being worried about giving a bad impression, and surrendering at the first sign of conflict. Don't be defensive, be reflective. Beat her at her own game. Also, who the hell cares. If they side with her over dumb shit, they aren't worth keeping around.

I'm not the OP you fucking cunt nugget, I didn't say anything about my instagram and neither did I complain about my awful and terrible life, I showed a fucking example of how depression can fuck people up at completely random points in time for no real reason
the fact that you're still going on about this is really quite sad, maybe consider some breathing exercises

>>9107459
what breed? I kinda know the feel, back in the day when my family was picking out a dog we had our heart set on a jack russell but in the end we went for a pretty rare random breed because there was a 'discount puppy' (had all breed qualifications but was missing teeth so couldn't go to shows). he's our baby now (turned 7 in the spring) and considering how lazy the family is, it's probably a good idea we didn't get a russell

>>9107549
if you aren't the OP why are you being such a whiny little bitch?

>>9107549
A Corgi. Adopting one is hard because the two corgi rescues are three states over in either direction from us. I'm hoping to hear back from a breeder so we can visit them Saturday or go to an AKC show to meet some of them. Worst case, I don't mind waiting another two years but it would be nice to take advantage of the down time right now

>>9107635
oh shit I 100% support you in this, corgis are adorable little fucks, definitely up there in my list of cute dogs
now for some reason I have a massive urge to go and visit my cousin and his two labs - they're wonderful and super active, love attention and I've gotten to sleep in the same bed with them once (which was simultaneously good and awful, since they're so big and heavy but it was one of the coolest/cutest things I've done, sleeping in a dog pile)
dogs are great, even though I also adore cats (but will probably never have one because of allergies)

>single for about a week
>been hit on blatantly by four guys, more subtly by a handful of others
>some of it is ridiculous; guy pulled up next to me and asked if I wanted a boyfriend, and a manager in a store asked me out and gave me a massive discout
>I'm not hot, but suddenly everyone's up in my business

It's flattering, but it has to stop before the convention. The last thing I need is a bunch of socially awkward men following me around the con. It's happened before, but I never expected it would be a possibility again, because I passed my peak a few years ago and my body's been going downhill.

My cosplay will never fucking finished

I'm in the "crash and burn" portion of my PMDD cycle and I'm really really tempted by doing some retail therapy. I found Dolly Cat in lavender on buyee for like $170 and I would totally justify the purchase as "this makes me feel better about not having cats" but I actually feel like the price is low enough that it might be sketch? If it shows up at my door and it turns out to be a replica of some kind I'd probably be pretty fucked up.

feels bad man

Multiple feels, not necessarily all related:

I paid off all my student loans last week! So theoretically I have more money to spend, right? Yet somehow I have less in my bank account and more on my credit card than I budgeted for (I have a lot of free time at work), and I can't tell where it went? I need to sit down and go through everything line by line, because this is baffling. Doesn't help that earlier this month I had fraudulent charges on my card and had to get a new one issued.

I've had my office job for 4 months now, and I've gained like 10 pounds already from sitting in a cube all day and not running up and down 2 flights of stairs all the time like I was doing in my retail job before this. I have cons in October, February, and March, and I don't know if I can lose all my extra weight (and more, since I started out a little overweight) before it all begins.

I'm making part of a cosplay for a friend, and I told her I wouldn't charge for more than just materials (because she's a friend and I'm still mediocre), but I've been keeping track of how many hours I've been putting in... Unfortunately I feel like it's too late to change my mind about being paid for this. Oh well.

Baby steps. I have light asthma with low blood pressure too (easily tired with lack of energy) but this is what I did:
1st week - Walk 1hr daily, 3 more times a week
2nd week - Cycle for 1hr 3 times a week
3rd week - Alternate days for walking and cycling every other day, e.g. Mon walk, Tues cycle, Wed rest, Thurs cycle, Fri walk, Sat rest, Sun cycle
4th week: Do walk in morning and cycle at night, a couple of days a week . Introduce jogging into your walks. Join a sports club (I chose badminton) to mix it up.

Give it a go. Your stamina will improve but be careful your body will grave carbs after each exercise so plan what to eat.

Fucking secondaries

she should kill herself

I crossed a completely invisible line at my last meet, apparently.

We were all complaining about sjws, and I feel like I said something bad mid-discussion (it didn't end with me having the last word) because a male member said, after, 'oh yeah x has been trying to get me to calm down for a while'.

And while I didn't instigate the conversation, I'm worried that I escalated it and now my comm hates me.

I also walked away from a girl who was being abrasive, though I think that's her personality, but I don't know how to apologise because, while she apologised to me for what she had said, I didn't want to reply in case I bit my tongue, so I sort of said 'it's okay' and nodded, continuing walking toward the cafe. I'll apologise next meet. I just feel like a fucking potato.

Honestly, I can't even remember. We were discussing the issue about Chinese people and AP, then BtSSB, and it sort of went into things from there.
It was the comment after that made me wonder exactly what I'd said that was so out there. Honestly, I thought I was just going with the flow of the conversation.

Maybe I'm too new to the comm to make brazen comments about that sort of thing.

>>9108212
I'd say so. I don't understand why you would discuss politics over people who aren't close friends.

>>9108244

Stick some stickers on your door and windows that say "security cameras in use". If you're really really paranoid, set up some webcams pointed at the door that upload a live feed to an online server. If the worst does happen, a shot of the thief's face can prove they're company employees.

Time to booby-trap the apartment, Home Alone style. Paint cans on rope, electrified doorknob, spider buckets. Put warning signs everywhere.

Best case scenario, they think you're batshit insane and don't rob you.

When I was a kid, someone broke into my house. I was fascinated with "rogue" pursuits because my family played D&D. Aside from teaching myself to pick locks, I figured out some simple traps and put warnings up. So when he came into my room, there was a box full of silver dollars that was taped up with "poison" written on the front. I had mixed a bunch of chemicals, being a fool child, and put them in the box before quickly sealing it. Luckily it didn't do anything but give me a headache.

It was the only thing the robber didn't fuck with. In fact, if he had moved it at all, he put it back carefully. It was right where I left it, in my jewelry box. Everything else was tossed haphazardly around my room, he even moved my mattress.

I'm suspicious that he got hit by my desk trap (a pencil was rigged to fly out and hit you in the face) but was never able to confirm. It wouldn't have done much but annoy and surprise him. I hope it hit him, though. He was an asshole. Poured pepto bismol in my dad's fishtank before he left, because I guess the robber was just 100% shit.

>>9108352
Wow, reading this, I realize that I sound legitimately batshit insane. Whoops.

>>9108274
It depends. I tend to not voice my opinions unless I'm with people I'm really comfortable with. Even when asked, I try to keep it as safe as possible. I work with a bunch of Bible thumping conservatives so when they talk about the shit happening in Baton Rouge, I give a blanket observation and that's it. "That's sad thats happening but can't fault them when they are angry"

It's really something that you have to sit back and think what to say. I cant say they are a bunch of dumb cunts because they don't believe in homosexuality but I can say that they were brought up by the Bible and I wasn't so that changed my viewpoints

Oh man I got grilled for mentioning something slightly to this a long time ago but I'm feeling all kinds of uncomfortable right now so here we go.

I wear j fashion, including Lolita, fairy kei, and nanchatte. I still live with my family, and I just accidently discovered that my brother has a school girl fetish and is into sissification and general moe/lolicomplex shit. For obvious reasons, I feel incredibly awkward and uncomfortable now.

It might be the little guy's diet, or something he's doing outside if he's an outdoor cat. Try buying the expensive "holistic" cat food if you haven't already. I started giving mine that and she stopped having urinary track infections within a week. It's like 20 dollars a bag/2.50 a can but it's way less expensive than how much the vet bills were getting. I don't know why people are saying to get a new cat or something holy fuck, cats are part of your family you don't just throw them out when they aren't feeling so great.

Be really careful. It can still fuck up your skin and make you look like garbage. You'll age a lot quicker than all the bitches that have to eat their arugula salads and drink their cayenne lemon water. A friend of mine had a terrible metabolism but ate healthy as fuck to stay skinny and now that she's 29 she looks like she's still 16. Her younger sister could eat whatever and looks like she's in her mid thirties now. And she's starting to get that extra pudge because she has no idea how to diet and her metabolism is finally slowing down.

I hope you cat recovers soon anon! I pray you you and your kitty!!

This is what I'm afraid of with my two dogs. I recently took them from my bf's aunt's hands (I don't mean literally lol I asked if I can adopt them) since she is piss poor and already has 2 other dogs plus a baby, and she is a shitty owner/mother. Basically how she got around to having 4 fucking dogs was not fucking fixing her two little dogs in the first place; she was dating this guy who had a dog and that dog fucked her female dog, and then popped two puppies (I honestly think there was a bit more puppies in the litter but she didn't give us full detail) and she didn't give them their shots or anything. I was really pissed to hear that. Her first 2 dogs don't even have shots and her female recently just had a really bad case of worms to where she looked like a bloated beach ball. We are going to get the 2 dogs updated on shots and get the fixed as soon as we can and get them worm treatment just in case. I'm just afraid they might have other internal problems. They seem really happy on the outside but I just can't help but worry what's going on with them.

I'm not furious with having to pay for the shots or fixing them, but the fact that she was irresponsible to keep those dogs as an accessory when she can't fucking afford it. She's a literal bigot and I can't stand observing how she takes care of her dogs and even her baby. She recently moved in with my bf's mom because she got evicted from her apartment, but of course she has enough money to go clubbing and drink every weekend. She makes me furious and I just feel so bad for those dogs. Sorry for rant
Also pic related, it's one of the two dogs I adopted from her. He is such a sweetheart <3

Being the only person who sews in the family...
'anon my 11 year old daughter has 'prom' tomorrow and her dress doesn't fit right at the top'... So I rush through to a deadline for a project that has to go to the publisher tomorrow and don't eat dinner so I can try and be free before the kid has to go to bed... I can't send her in an ill-fitting dress, too many years of bullying in my childhood to let poor girl get picked on.
But damn I hate sewing satin...

>>9109011
Play Pokemon Go.

>>9109019
I do, but unless I go into town and like downtown I dont generally run into a lot of people, or a lot of pokemon either. This is what I get for living on the outskirts of the city

>>9109011
Perhaps if you're looking for someone just like you, you're making your options to be too narrow. Perhaps those other girls like to party and drink, but that doesn't mean that it's all they ever do- surely some of them will still enjoy the same things you do, and they won't not be friends with you just because you don't want to party with them. I have plenty of friends whose lifestyles are very different from mine, we do things together that we both find fun and don't do things that we don't share in common.

>>9109032
Thats very true, I guess I just have bad experiences. The girls in my comm are nice to me and I think theyre good girls, I just dont want to try to latch onto them and make them uncomfy or bore them by being the only person that doesnt want to do something.

Usually when I tried to befriend girls they would forget about me or tell me how "weird" I was because I didnt like to drink or go to parties and because I was too quiet. So eventually I would just get left out of everything.

Im hoping the older I get the more people will be more understanding.

Hey bitch,

You are WORSE than Jessica Nigri. At lease SHE makes a bit of her cosplays, even if it's a small bit. You don't even style your wigs. Fucking bimbo gook with buck teeth attention whore, quit cosplay already, and quit cheating on your boyfriend, whore.

isn't it true that lolita fashion gives an impression of childishness? what the woman in that picture's wearing looks like what a little girl would wear to church on sunday. i'm 99% sure the people who made that poster don't even know what lolita fashion is. they were just using childish clothes contrasted with a fully grown woman to convey the film's topic of the blurred line between child and adult

i can see how calling it children's clothing for adults could be offensive but i'm sure he didn't mean it like that

>>9109234
it's more about how he know so much about lolita, because of how much I talk about it. So when he says it's children's clothes is really disrespectful.

>>9109203
Don't ever date a man who trash talks things you care about or enjoy. It shows how little he actually cares about your happiness.

>>9109203

He's passive aggressively trying to shame you into changing what you like to wear to please him. Nope. Nope. Nope.

It won't end with just your clothing choices. Soon it'll be everything else you like that he disapproves of.

>>9109247
wouldn't it be weird to just creep around at conventions by myself? and i wouldn't want to go to the trouble of making a naruto cosplay suit and pretending like i actually care about that sort of thing to blend in. maybe i'll bump into one on the street sometime

i'm a girl though

Went to a makeup demo for some high end company and the girl who was applying my makeup told me that I've been using the wrong type of foundation since always. She didn't even try to push her own brand or anything, just straight up told me that I should probably buy a powder foundation instead because that would work better with my skin type.

Feels like I should already have figured that out, but at least now I can find a foundation that may actually work for more than a few hours at the time. </3

I personally don't care if people like to go out and get drunk as long as they don't insist on taking me along (or overshare about the aftermath) but I seem to have a really hard time getting to know people my age who don't think I'm some kind of pathetic freak for not wanting to get drunk and have one night stands. It's gotten to the point of straight up high school mean girl nonsense at both my job and sports club. I do get along with many of my coworkers, but they're all 35+ and have kids. I'm 24.

I'm not yet very active in my local lolita comm but I'm really hoping there will be some girls my age who I can get along with. Even if the comm turns out to be full of drama they can't be as bad as my coworkers.

The people at my sports club aren't quite as bad, but they still treat me like a space alien. The only friends I've managed to make there are middle aged dudes.

I just want some female friends my own age who like me as I am, damn it!

No? Maybe you should look into drinking more water, changing some eating habits and encouraging better behaviors.

I know your vet has probably already told you this since they're a vet, but the top cause of kidney problems for cats is not drinking enough water. Wet food is a start, but you can also get your cat a circulating fountain (like $30 on amazon) to get it to drink more water. Cats are generally reluctant to drink water that is stagnant and/or too close to their food.

I suffered from the same thing (and still do from time to time), anon.

Do you wear a wrist brace at night while sleeping? It's important to keep the wrist straight and relaxed. Try to get used to doing more with your non-dominant hand; slowly train it.

I go to a chiropractor. Medicaid covers it for 18 visits. My chiropractor is REALLY good - it's important to find one who will work with you on your INDIVIDUAL needs, and not one that blankets everything. He gave me helpful suggestions about massaging and loosening up the muscles in my forearm. My sister is an Occupational Therapist and gave me a deep-tissue massage, and that helped right away.

To strengthen those muscles after they've healed, I use two large rubber bands tied together. I fit each band over my knuckles with my palms facing towards each other, then slowly bend each wrist backward, pulling the two bands. Slowly, I spread my fingers wide, then relax them and slowly bring my wrists to neutral positions again. This will build strength in the tendons and muscles which control our grip, the weakening and overuse of certain muscles therein often leads to carpal tunnel. Hope this helps!

TFW I work at a coffee shop and often the only food I can afford or have time to get during breaks is stuff from our shop, which is mostly carbs, cheese, and pastries. I know I should pack myself a better lunch the night before so I can just grab it out of the fridge when I leave in the morning. I guess this was a wake up call.
